This episode was so boring, I don't even know where to start, because there hardly anything that seems worth talking about.
Well.... Apparently Star Labs security still sucks in 30 years, that they have in their possession a time sphere that arguably should be heavily secured, but one of their adversaries steals and comes back to the present. Why does she come back to the present? Who fucking knows? Surely it's not because she realized time was being changed and her uncle's powers were being removed, because how would anyone who isn't already a time traveler know when the timeline changes?
And you can't give Grace the cure without her consent? Her uncle, her legal guardian, already gave his consent.
Oh, but she's too weak... then give it to her when she's stronger and get this over with! And for fuck sake, destroy the damn time sphere! Why did you even keep that?? You assume it'll make things worse, but how could you possibly know that? You assume it'll make things worse because the writers don't want an easy fix and are too fucking lazy to actually give you a good reason not to try.
I gotta hand it to them though, this show actually made me admire the writers of Supergirl. I'm not a fan of the teaser previews, because they usually spoiler some of the best bits of the episode; and with Supergirl's for this week, they featured the scene with Lex "turning" the sun red; which seemed to suggest would be the main plot of the series, but it was cleverly just the opening and a flashback. So while it may have been misleading, from a certain perspective, it wet our whistle without giving too much of the actual episode away.
The preview for this week's episode of The Flash showed the final confrontation scene, even teased it more by opening with Thawne telling her to confess everything to everyone; only to wait the entire damn episode to get to the point. All so they could fill the episode out with other important stuff; like Ralph suggesting Cisco tell a girl he's only just started dating everything about Team Flash. He's like Sterling Archer blurting out to everyone that's a secret agent, but without the charm.
And then Barry locks Nora in the pipeline.....
..... I don't know if that was the right or wrong decision. I get the concern to a limited degree, but this seems extreme. I mean, she was a dupe, same as the rest of the team at one time. Do they honestly think she's in lockstep with Thawne? I suppose I can see not taking any risks, but at this point it's kind of late. If anything they should have been more suspicious when she first arrived, with or without the knowledge of Thawne's involvement.
