Guys, it's the CW. They have to have a good amount of soap opera on there.

are you sure? :doh!:

Yes. It's how they appeal to a broad enough audience to keep the show on the air. If it were just 18-40 year old males, they couldn't sustain it.

conjecture

So it took 3 guys to beat up reverse flash nice episode though.

3 guys and Palmer tech.

I'm a little disappointed at how underpowered Firestorm is presented. At the least they should let him have Stein's intellect come into play.

Weak lead in to the finale. Felt like a non sequitur, didn't work for me at all.

yeah, this whole build up about wells and then he essentially gets beat by Arrow not Barry :facepalm:

He isn't beaten.

Also, you could argue that Ray Palmer beat him.

I loved the Farris Air and missing pilot easter egg.

I was laughing my ass off when the Amell cousins shared screen time.

I don't think flash has him beat yet. Wells could play a trick on him thinking Flash won. But the final episode called Fast Enough here what I found. Barry is presented with a life‑altering choice; Dr. Martin Stein and Ronnie return to help the S.T.A.R. Labs team.

because Palmer made the tech? That's like saying that you can argue "x country didn't win the war, their bullet manufacturers did." Ollie shot him twice AND laid the beat down on him as well as delivered the final blow. Either way it's kind of pathetic that Barry couldn't beat his own nemesis..

It feels like the budget and script were choked to death in this episode since they had to get all these actors at the same time and give them all something to do. They're also having a tough time making everyone's powers/roles fit within a fight.

I'm interested to see how they pull this off. Barry's mom dying, him moving in with the Wests, becoming a forensic detective, and then becoming the Flash is all connected. If he saves his mom, how does he continue to exist as who he is now?

And if Wells can see the future, why doesn't he see that Barry changes the future and counters it? :D
