The essential problem with this show can be summed up very easily.

RIP, Fara. It was a run. You will not be forgotten, like you were by Homeland's writing team.

Off-topic, but kind of within the realm…

Would have liked additional Cosmic Treadmill backstory.

At this rate, I'd wager it plays out something along these lines:

Excellent point. By season three of any television show, we should know what drives and motivates a character. Part of it had to be a different writing team for The Flash, but a good portion is the Arrow writing team utilizing him like a one-trick pony, depending on circumstances.

The SmoakFlakes!

Downvoted for 'hella'

All it takes is a boomerang to the chest to get Caitlin and Felicity nursing me back to health?

Wells and Merlyn, on a yacht, drinking scotch and kicking around world domination plans?

The AV Club

Smooches

Sideways carats and commands, followed by closing slashes.

Starling City's Second Annual Terrorist Attack

How else would you expect Barry Allen to climb the ladder?

First black Comedy Central newz host?

I will nitpick that Joe West and Dr. Wells didn't come along for the ride, but that's hopefully for another time.

One major demerit for this episode.

Starling City has survived worse bombs.

Not until you mentioned it.
