Completely agree. The groundedness / realism was what made it exciting. When I saw the Canary cry coming from a little bit of tech rather than powers I was overjoyed. It was a slightly cheesy Nolan-esque world for TV, and who wouldn't want that). Now The Flash / superpowers are in the world, it's just kind of ruined it. No matter how good the rest of season 3 is, it will never be the show it was again :-( But as you say, when powers are there from the start, it is fine. Agents Of SHIELD is awesome, and The Flash as a stand alone thing is quite entertaining. Just don't promise something different and then step backwards. Doing that makes it feel like they've run out of ideas.
