...and that's about the best part of this terrible episode. I began typing random thoughts as I watched this, so my review is probably completely incoherent. Here goes!
I think the only way these evil forces and the Big Bad will be defeated this season is through a prayer circle. If that powerful speech about how their pretty rainbow lightning children were born from love wasn't enough for them to just stop doing mean stuff, I don't know what will. They should all just give up now, all hope is gone. Joe has the right idea. I just can't understand why Barry doesn't just grab the baddies hands and maintain eye contact for three seconds, not even Satan himself can resist that kind of earnestness. It's like he's not even trying anymore.
I'm beginning to wonder if the CW pissed the writers off and this is their way of payback. Because I cannot honestly believe real people would ever write scripts like this. I honestly no longer care who lives or who dies, including Barry, who has somehow become absolutely unbeawrable to watch this season. His constant whining about how everything is his fault, yet he only believes that he and he alone is always right and continues the same cycle over and over again is just tiring to watch. I'm not entirely sure what Chester and Allegra (though I don't hate their characters) are even there for. Kamilla needs to go away. Caitlin is still there, I think. I actually really like Bashir, but I believe it's probably more the charisma of the actor I'm responding to more than the actual character. Joe is lost without his badge. The scene where he gave up his gun would have felt a lot more poignant if he had ever actually ever fired the thing in the line of duty. The scene with Frost and Chillblaine was cringeworthy, their exact interaction can probably be heard word for word at any preschool.
"You like me, I know you do!" "Eww! Do not! Take that back!" "Yes, you do. Haha. Let's date." "Gross! No! Turn yourself in!" "No." "Yes!" "No. Wanna go out?" "Shut up! I will never ever ever ever date you!"
Cue fight scene. But the real winning line to end the battle of all battles?
"Chill out."
Slow clap. Bravo. And now Barry and Nora are lamenting that they can't lose anyone else and perhaps they just weren't meant to be parents. They are agonizing over the possible breakup of their family. They compare losing their baby lightning bolts to losing their actual human daughter. I mean, I hated Nora West-Allen but she deserves better than to be held on the same level as an electrical current. What they should really do is come together and sing a song. If they would have done that instead of that pointless fight scene that lasted 10 seconds, I could already be watching something else. I do have to admit that the scene where Nora was literally the only person left on earth was pretty cool. Thank goodness they overcame their differences when Alexa reached out her hand. What did I say at the beginning of this review? The world can't become a better place unless you hold hands. Now they can all live in peace and harmony in a tiny house. Beautiful. It looks like Cisco is about to say goodbye and that's unacceptable. Other than Wells, he's one of the best The Flash has, which is saying a whole lot considering there have been about 755 members of Team Flash throughout the seasons. I hope it's just temporary because I honestly don't know if this show can handle the loss of another great character. I already hated Kamilla, now I can't help but think she's Yoko Ono. Also, if this show tries to force a relationship in between Allegra and Chester, I'm done.
I don't care. I hope they all lose. I know The Flash viewers have.
