Joe, Frost, and Allegra all had virtually self-contained subplots that could easily have been ramped up or eliminated completely without affecting the A-story much.

I agree that it was probably a deliberate Covid precaution, but it made for a lot of low-stakes, low-energy plotlines with 0-1 well-developed characters…

There were rumors that Candace Van Patten was having some argument/tough negotiation with the producers. If true, it was apparently resolved with her signing on for Season 8.

The “she’s trapped forever in the Still force” plot was introduced, nonchalantly accepted by Barry, and then resolved so quickly, and for no…

This entire season was one long car crash. Thank god its over. The writers need to really figure out what the plan is for next season. Sounds like they intend to use a LOT of guest heroes- this is a good thing! I’ve been pitching a re-tool into more of a Brave and the Bold style teamup show and for them to really…

Really they should lean more into the West-Allens being the family on the block with the home karaoke machine that’s mandatory at their gatherings. 

Caitlin/Frost’s Captain Cold is Amunet Black, and I’d love to see her come back and interact with them some more.

One thing this show does not seem to get is that you cannot make the audience care about a conflict if you don’t give the right amount of context for it. At no point that Godspeed or his various clones were on-screen did I understand what their goal was, where they came from, or why they were fighting. I thought that…

Not gonna lie, once that whole Lightningsaber duel started I thought the show had reached its nadir. There’s a slo-mo shot of Barry that’s supposed to show his intensity in battle but it just looked so goofy.

I certainly hope you are right that we have seen the last of Chillblaine. When someone last episode compared him to Captain Cold, I was livid. You sir are no Captain Cold 

Yeah, the only reason I knew he was speaking Punjabi was because i had the captions on. They never really mentioned anything about that before. And it was so loud and he was screaming, I never would’ve even realized what language he was speaking. I would’ve just assumed some weird future speedster language.

This is just how I feel. More power to those who are fans and die hard fans. I will agree that it has been a mix bag in the sense it’s no worse than previous seasons, but it wasn’t better either. I stuck through the season mostly to see how they would handle shooting during the pandemic.

I really, REALLY hope next season is the final season.

I more or less give up on the idea of explaining power differentials and how they work on twitter. I don’t think a rape threat is ever remotely okay, at no point in time am I going to argue that.

But I’m endlessly frustrated by these conversations in which someone who has an incredible amount of money and/or influence…

You won’t see me arguing that a rape threat is okay if the person being threatened sucks. You will see me say that using a threatening message to misgender people and suggest that transgender people are really just a bunch of violent men is a deeply fucked up thing for a woman this famous to say when transgender…

It’s weird that you think that those same threats wielded by two different types of people have the same impact and inexcusability, bud.

Yeah- hoping someone else out of greys asks that. You *can* still test positive after being vaccinated, it’s just milder. So my reaction kind of hinges on whether she was vaccinated- if she was vaccinated, that really sucks. If she wasn’t, she and especially her parent/guardian(s) were dumb. Many athletes from other…

Yeah, it sucks how Jezebel has ignored things like the child tax credit. You have to go all the way to whatever site this is to find any discussion of it.

Biden dodges like a normal politician. Trump was an entirely different animal. 

Not affordable, but free healthcare, cancel student debt, redirect tax money that funds all the military bullshit that is so unnecessary at this point given how much bullshit weaponry we have, and create a living wage, reduce taxes to almost nothing for a few years, raise taxes on the 1% like a motherfucking asshole, a…

The center-dems are gonna get us all fucking killed.

Because he knows after the dumpster fire of a Trump presidency he’s got a free and clear lane as long as he keeps his head down.
