Not a bad season finale but I think this has been quite a slow season. Some of the filler episodes were boring and others weren’t fun. In fact, some of the main story episodes weren’t fun either. Gosh, I miss season two.

Either way, best characters in this episode (and probably throughout this season) had to be Joe, Cecile, Harry, DeVoe and Marlize. Joe has always been consistent in this show and I’m grateful for that. Cecile did help him and Harry through some entertaining character development. The others have had similar traits. Marlize’s actress is so damn good and I enjoyed every appearance of hers. DeVoe was a pretty good villain too. Not fantastic, but nonetheless enjoyable. And man, it’s like we have to say goodbye to a Wells each and every season finale. However, this send-off was heartwarming.

Barry was just...okay. Nothing really exciting to be found in him this season. I did like that final super punch he did though. Wally was definitely correct in what he was saying about not wanting to remain in Barry’s shadow. He’s quite better on the Waverider. Cisco was fine but this guy has really gone through some tough times, holy crap. And as much as I like Caitlin, her obsession with Killer Frost wasn’t all appealing to me. I hope she finds her? Also, I have no idea what that Thomas thing is about but it’s seemingly tied to the young Killer Frost we saw before. Maybe Thomas is her father’s name, or someone close to her that she may have cut communications with prior to the first events of the show.

Personally, I’m glad Ralph is back. His “death” was quite sudden. I know he’s not the best character but he sure has been more entertaining than the gloom and toom that appears almost every episode.

As for Iris, I don’t think I’ll get used to the fact that she’s suddenly going to appear smarter than half of the team at random. This is something I picked up on way back in episode two. I also did not find myself agreeing with her at several points in the episode. Like when she started defending Marlize as she believed they could still could cooperate to defeats DeVoe. Well, Joe was still correct in his accusations. Honestly, there was that part of Marlize that still went through the entirety of the plan. Still, Iris has had her moments like fighting Marlize and the Nazis. And if she’s going to keep going as a lead, she probably does have to stay stuck in that cortex.

Well, we pretty much guessed she was Barry and Iris’ offspring. I wonder though, was it a mistake to save Barry or what is she referring to? If she didn’t do that, she wouldn’t have been born, right? Also, if she truly is their daughter, did they not tell her that they weren’t married in the church but in a park by John? Why would she turn up to that wedding then? You confuse me, Nora
