So since I really didn't think Barry was going to come out and admit that he was The Flash, I wasn't surprised that he both lost the trial and went to jail. I can appreciate the parallels between Barry and Henry in that both were blamed for a murder they didn't commit and that both went to jail. I am curious about how long Barry will be in jail cause I feel like there's only so many episodes that The Flash can go without their hero on the streets unlike Arrow where someone else could put on the costume. If Wally was around then maybe but I'm fairly sure he's headed off to Legends where he'll be better appreciated.
The trial was kind of hard to watch cause so much of it was complete and utter bullshit. DeVoe's wife makes me want to scratch her eyes out and her fake crying over her husband's death made me look away cause I was so angry. I have so many damn questions about this whole situation. How did they get DeVoe's DNA onto Barry? Like I get DeVoe having Barry cause they did kidnap him for a while but Barry? I also wonder why no one found it strange that all the cameras around Barry's home turned off or why in the modern world where there's literally cameras on every street there was no shot of DeVoe going to Barry's house. Like no one thought that was strange?
By the by DeVoe is driving me crazy. I NEED to know what his big evil plan is cause he keeps telling everyone that they're too dumb to understand what he wants and I'm sitting here like nothing you want is so complex that we won't get it. I keep feeling like he wants to help the world and that he believes the means justify the ends which would explain why he doesn't want to work with The Flash cause the team won't want to do something terrible.
Speaking of the team, there was this radiation sickness meta that was accidently killing people and he was kind of pointless cause the stuff with Barry was much more interesting. I did like how he was defeated though and any time Killer Frost shows up is great. I would wonder if anyone would put two and two together in that when Barry goes to jail, Flash disappeared but at the beginning of the season both Barry and Flash were gone and no one noticed. Where's the FBI agent to connect the dots like on Arrow?
I did love the final scenes where we flashed back and forth between the judge convicting Barry and Singh giving The Flash a metal. I will never not be bitter as to why Flash is hailed as a hero when he does vigilante justice while Green Arrow is hailed a criminal when he does the exact same. It's the same problem I have with Superman v Batman and it's ridiculously hypocritical to me. I also loved the final scene where Barry realized that he was now living in the same cell that Henry did.
Next week's promo didn't show too much other than it's a Ralph centric episode. He wasn't half bad tonight so I don't mind him taking the front seat next week though I doubt I'll come out feeling the same way. I do hope that Cisco and Caitlin get to go out there too cause I love when they fight.
Don't forget to check out my Arrow review Thursday night!
