User blog:Konstant888/The Flash 4x21 "Harry and the Harrisons" - Review

I don't usually like the word "filler". What episode is a filler episode?! Most of the times filler episodes have something important going on in them. There are episodes that don't contribute to the main villain plot but are very important to the season-long story of a character. And when you call an episode filler, it sounds like you are saying it is worthless and bad. However, this episode felt like pure filler. I guess an episode is filler to me when I feel like it, cause this had some important stuff in it, but felt very disjointed. And it is this late! I am not a fan of that. Anyway, spoilers for the episode and let’s get on with the review. Also, I just said "filler" a lot, didn't I?

The title of the episode is “Harry and the Harrisons” and it refers to the Council of Harrisons, which is a worse, emo version of the Council of Wells. Not that I really like the later, but at least it was funny, this just wasn’t. The Council of Harrisons was pointless. I am digging the idea of seeing different versions of Harrison Wells fro maround the Multiverse that are obscure and weird, but these were just some stupid clichés, plus one that we had already seen before. Tom Cavanagh, however, does a great job. Kudos to him! And Harry. Well…or should I say…WELLs…get it?!…never mind…his story is interesting. It was really sad when he drew those faces at the end and thought it was too complicated, so he had to explain it. It is not my favorite storyline that they have given him, but without Jesse on the table, that’s the best I can imagine for him right now.

Amunet Black was a big player this episode. You see, at first, I thought she was a fun villain. Then she became sorta annoying. Now I really dislike her. She is a bad villain. And giving her the spotlight for an episode that is supposed to be focusing on DeVoe is a bad move for the show. It really slowed down the momentum the last few episdoes built up. And Norvok, he is even worse. Such garbage! Bot of their powers are cool, but ultimately, they fail as villains. And I am sick of “Supergirl” and “Flash” constantly making their villain redeem themselves. By now, it has become sich a cliché. How about a villain who is truly evil, huh?

I am glad that Caitlyn is finally getting something to do, because she has been needing this for a while. It is great that she can be interesting without being Killer Frost (even though all she does is related to her). And she even has a moment with Joe, which was lovely. I never knew that those two characters have such good chemistry. Iris is the other character that got some character development and I really like that. Not that she got screen time, she’s been getting too much of that lately. But what they gave her. I love that she is going back to her reporter roots. It is happening slowly, but I am hoping next season, Iris will be out of S.T.A.R. Labs. I do, however, find it annoying that Barry, just like Oliver, ended up doing what his wife told him. These shows always do that. "Oh, THey love eachother so much. She is always there for him to help him make the right call!". That's the garbage the writers were probalby thinking when they wrote this. And I don't even think it was a good idea. If the key to stopping DeVoe is going to be some random people helping them, then I am disappointed. Although the idea that Central City is united and the Flash beliving in it as much at it believes in him sounds rather nice.
