Why would a literal mirror dimensions exist of Central City with all the buildings and marker boards, etc. exist, but not the people?
Wait, this woman has been trapped for 6 years? Without food or water? How? I know this isn't the first show to play fast and loose with characters getting stuck in some altered state for a prolonged period where they should at least feel hungry or thirst, if not actually potentially starve; it doesn't mean it makes any less sense. How does this dimension make one immortal?
You gotta love how the accelerator meltdown has become the be-all catch-all of explanations for whatever latest fuckery they want to explain away, even six years after the fact. Make the Flash and a bunch of metas? Sure, why not. One of sister shows is even going to borrow from this and say that a new character they're introducing was there, so that she can receive powers retroactively too. And let's not forget that, though not strictly the meltdown, they used the same basic premise of dark matter to give tech special powers too.
Now it also apparently turned a mirror into a "gateway". Was no one else in front of a mirror when this happen? Was it just this one mirror for some reason of was it all mirrors in Central City? This mirror has apparently remained an open gateway this whole time for Iris to fall in, but no one else in 6 years ever went into this room, let alone near enough to the mirror to get pulled in beside Eva?
So I had to jump back, because I apparently missed the part at the beginning where the episode was picking at the moment the last episode ended. I thought it was going back to when she first arrived and maybe catch us up from her point of view how things actually played out, which kind of made sense; and from that I assumed that Eva was going to turn out to be the one to escape and take her form. But that's all apparently wrong, she's been replaced by a "fractal duplicate" or something, which, fuck you - there's no other living being this side of the mirror, but just ending up on the other side inexplicably makes another Iris out of thing air; one who speaks Italian and knows how to cook? How? Why? And why didn't it make another Eva?
Secondly the last episode spanned a couple of days; so Iris was literally standing there watching the whole fucking thing unfold and it's only now that she runs across Eva? And why are they even this lab instead of the reflection of Barry and Iris' apartment? How is she viewing these specific events through this magic mirror? I mean, I guess it would be just as weird if she was running around Mirror-Central City trying to find the closest reflect to Barry, but this is pretty inscrutable.
Ralph has been searching for Sue for 274 days? I don't care what her parents are paying you, unless it's like, $100 million dollars, this goes beyond the pale of doing your due diligence to your clients. You're crossing into creepy obsession territory and I'm not entirely sure I want you to find Sue, for fear you might lock her in your basement.
The random pictures of her riding horses and graduating, I hope from college, only adds to the creep factor, dude.
"It's still in the Starchives, right?"
Why or how does a replica or facsimile of Iris, much less one with her memories and apparently the same personal objectives and obsessions have any kind of ulterior motive; much less one that would be so specific as to want the mirror gun of all things? Does she know she's a mirror duplicate? How?
So they have liquid nitrogen on this side of the mirror - again, how and or why? I know they're not going to give me any answers; the writers answers are probably, "fuck you, that's why." But they're still answers that should be asked; because if there are no people on this side of the mirror, how did the liquid nitrogen or anything else there get there? And does mirror liquid nitrogen still work the same way as regular liquid nitrogen? I mean, I don't know why it wouldn't, but all things considered, there's nothing special about this place other than the fact that there are no people, everything's backwards and anyone who does get sucked in probably can't die. But it doesn't serve any other purposes, so what's the point if chemicals can't have weird, inverted properties to what they would have in the normal world?
Holy shit, are they actually including a CCPD sub-story?
Oh, fuck you. Fucking meta-human Elongated Man can't make a dent in the hire gun, but the regular human half his size can take him down? Fuck you.
Sigh... They have no fucking clue what to do with Cecile....
This is an episode of The Flash, right?
Where the fuck did Sue get a Mission Impossible style mask from??
Way to frame Joe from robbing a bank, Ralph...
Oh no, Sue betrayed Ralph, I can't believe.....😐
So Ralph can squeeze through the pipes in the sprinkler system, but he can fit between the bars without touching them?
How the hell does his mask, much less his costume contort and compress that much?
Because sure, when you're a meta who can shoot waves of heat or whatever from your hands, you definitely let someone goad you into a hand to hand fight that doesn't involve your powers.
Oh, hey, the Flash, I thought he was a myth.
