Is Dr. Coffee-Guy's meta-ability being super creepy? Because he's super creepy.
Like I said with last week's episode, this whole plot thread of everyone knowing Barry's fate in Crisis on Infinite Earths and doing all this hand wringing about his death seriously undermines that story; especially since at this point it's probably not going to happen. It was one thing when they originally set the date for what would basically be season 10 of this series, only to lose their nerve and decided, "just kidding, we're going to move it up and make it Oliver's thing."
If it had been kept at its original date, season 10, or probably a time-jump if the series were set to end before that, it would probably be at best a 50/50 crap-shootwhether Barry would survive at the end of the series. Doing it now, in the middle of season 6, when there's no end in sight for the series, makes it virtually a certainty that Barry will live by the end of Crisis, no matter what they suggest otherwise.
And that sucks on so many different levels. It's not a question of wanting the character to be killed off; he's not the B-Team on Arrow. The death of the Flash during Crisis on Infinite Earths was epic; and it's bad enough to side step that fate in order to service the practical reality of a tv series and the resistance to major changes to the cast. But then to make such a big fucking deal about it; and it's not going to amount to anything.
How does something "temporarily" cure something? Wouldn't that just be treatment or management; the disease is suppressed or in remission - the latter probably being more accurate, since HLH is a form of cancer - but I don't any competent doctor who would call a disease "cured" if it can come back on its own.
Who the fuck is Ramsey Rosso?
Oh, Google tells me he's Dr. Coffee Guy.... Huh.....
Thank God Tom is done with the accent from last year.
"Bio-Regenerative serum"? Seriously, what is it, a mixture Kree blood, Kahn blood and phoenix tears?
"This sounds too good to be true."
Yeah, no shit Sherloque
"Could it protect someone against anti-matter?"
"I suppose it goes without saying."
Fuck you. That is not how anything works. This substance would need to be the literal, not figurative, blood of Jesus tap dancing Christ himself to have such far off, magical properties as to defy a fundamental principal of physics, like the interaction of matter and anti-matter.
This shit probably won't even turn out to cure foot fungus.
Wait, there are meta dampeners in the place that had the security camera that Barry used his super speed to shut down? What, did no one think to put meta dampeners around the cameras or their control area? And wouldn't this have been a good thing to mention before they left the van? If I were Barry, I might say something like, "FYI, I'm going to be functionally useless inside. Do you still want me to come along? No? Cool, I'll just stay out here and check Facebook."
If this Elixir of Life needs to be stored at negative 15 degrees (farenheit? Celsius?Kelvin? [yes, I know, absolute zero is the coldest point on the Kelvin scale]) a) you wouldn't want to slip that down your pants; and b) how long can you possibly keep that outside of the -15 degree environment before it goes bad?
Yeah, no Cisco, having a freeze sitting around randomly set to -15 degrees is super inconspicuous.
This whole story of Barry trying to save Ramsey is just odd; I mean, for the very start of thinking they could just taking on curing a rare form of cancer, going after a miracle serum and then giving said stolen serum, with truly unproven properties, to Ramsey and claiming Starlabs developed it, all seems incredibly dubious.
Never mind giving this miracle drug to this one guy, regardless of whether he's a villain or that they don't know that. What about the other people HLH? What about anyone else with any other type of cancer or other life threatening disease?
Seriously, there is no way Ramsey could act fast enough to kill that dude faster than Flash could move to save him. They made an entire fucking episode last season where a bomb was about to go after and he basically made time stand still for hours while figured it out.
Why is this series so fucking bad at developing their villains? The show that hit the mark the first time out with Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne; and it's all been a slow meandering slide down hill since then. This should not be where Ramsey's character development is in episode fucking 4 of a what, 24 episode season? Unless they ditch him half way through the season like they sort of did last season with Cicada, this is going to be a long fucking stretch.
They should have spent the first several episodes just establishing Ramsey the human being; the man that he was. Probably have his mother still around and her slowly dying and him coping with her death. And then finding out he's suffering from the same disease that killed her. He shouldn't have even experimented on himself until late-November; and this confrontation, maybe as the mid-season finale in December. Even then, it should probably been some unidentifiable creature or blob; and Team Flash doesn't know who or what it is and the audience only learns it's Ramsey at the end of the mid-season finale, with Team Flash making link sometime in January or February. What another boring, filler episode.
Pacing, people!
