User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/To those of you who think the RF was trying in 1x22, then why didn't Barry just have the Arrow defeat the RF in 1x09?/@comment-5544928-20150604193204/@comment-3481504-20150605233057

I can't see how The Flash was even a show with the Arrow in it. Don't get me wrong, I thought the first season was E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y, E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L, but they could've just send Oliver to defeat the Reverse Flash from the get-go, then the first season would've been over.
