the episode where barry got ralph killed is imo one of the better episodes because I am tired of the comments in shows where you can not kill a villain then you sink down to their level as if it is better for the villain to rot away in some prison.

I'm tired of those comments too, but I don't understand how that makes killing Ralph a good thing

The end game for Ralph was always going to be him getting killed off. I thought it was obvious when he transformed into one of his former nemesis guys like 8 episodes back? It is a way to bring back the true devoe form and neil sandlands back. I also look forward to the actor looking like ralph some to fuck with barry and play mind games with him the same way I enjoyed red kryponite clark back when smallville aired.

No mention here in the last 2 weeks so I will say I liked captain cold coming in to help Barry 2 weeks ago and enjoyed the marlisse backstory this week and we see her pov on things. Perhaps I am a fool but why did devoe stop using those love tears on her? I remember a few episodes back when devoe was a woman marlisse found out but I thought devoe did something to wear he gave her more tears and then she was back to being under the control of devoe?

I think we know the girl who was at barry and iris wedding and now knocked on the door this week is Barry's and Iris dauhter from the future. What role she plays in the devoe storyline shall be interesting. Devoe is obviously not calculating her arrival. Also if she is from the future has she figured out a way to block the time wreathes or whatever they are called?

BobbyR · « **Reply #329 on:** May 07, 2018, 04:55:36 PM »

yeah I didn't understand the tears thing either. i wonder if they got new writers

benlinus · « **Reply #330 on:** May 07, 2018, 07:46:56 PM »

I remember how the tears came to be it was from one of the bus metas. I just do not know how marlisse tricked devoe. Perhaps it was on the cutting room floor in 1 of the epsiodes to make room for cisco's love story that I do not really care about.

Been trying to get through this season but got the episode where elastic dude discovered he can take on different forms, and basically gave up. Think I'm done watching this show.

Imo it gets better but yes some episodes have been god awful filler this year. Also the Ralph character gets pretty annoying sometimes. i still say its better than the direction they took Arrow in but that is not saying much.

BobbyR · « **Reply #333 on:** May 08, 2018, 06:24:39 PM »

I think they're both going in the same direction, Getting beat every week

BobbyR · « **Reply #334 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:28:37 PM »

Was a little better this week

Except Barry is kind of dumb thinking Devoe can't hide when he can look like anyone

Skipped a few weeks, because of Ralph, and nearly dropped the show.

Posted on another board "I wish Ralph would just die!" Someone else replies "Lol your wish is my command."

Pushing my luck, I followed up with a request to resurrect Snart, but I was over my quota apparently..

BobbyR · « **Reply #336 on:** May 09, 2018, 07:14:43 PM »

I'd have preferred they kill Barry

Yesterday's show wasn't as bad as the last two

dam skippy · « **Reply #337 on:** May 10, 2018, 02:44:02 PM »

I did like the last show. I am glad a villain didn't completely turn for once. I like her though, she's one that I wish they would make a regular on the show.

The ending was a little cheesy with the city helping out but whatever.

BobbyR · « **Reply #338 on:** May 10, 2018, 10:09:35 PM »

If by cheesy you mean ridiculous I completely agree

But the rest of the show was enjoyable

BobbyR · « **Reply #339 on:** May 16, 2018, 09:59:16 PM »

Barry loses again

dam skippy · « **Reply #340 on:** May 17, 2018, 10:15:41 AM »

If you are fighting a brain that acts like a super-computer, why would you think one solution might really work?

This seems to stupid.

"Hey, I've got a plan that just might work."

They quit trying to find plans Devoe might not know about or have a second solution to.

Yes, I realize the speedster and Marlyse will save the day most likely but still.. arghghghgh

dam skippy · « **Reply #341 on:** May 22, 2018, 09:21:56 PM »

I was waiting for Harry to die this whole episode.

They did good Ralph.

I thought it would funny if the speedster was the baby.

When Devoe was gone barely 35 minutes in I was worried something nasty was coming.

benlinus · « **Reply #342 on:** May 23, 2018, 12:15:23 AM »

So I guess Savitar was wrong if the cerebro or inhibitor or whatever the fuck they used to stop devoe was coming. Or because Savitar said that they changed history. Or because Savitar is a villain he was lying all along. Either way I guess I will let that part slide. It was as good a finale as could be done imo. I sort of like not knowing who the season 5 villain will outright be after we were told the season 4 villain early on. Gives the writers sometime to get their shit back together. Also too bad marlisse left. Such a piece of art she is with the british accent. Maybe she can go to england and make beautiful babies with julian (does anyone remember him?). Overall this season started off strong but faltered over the final 8 imo. I would have preferred Marlisse stay with Devoe throughout the entire series because she was fine with him killing other random metas but I guess once it was regular humans that is where she drew the line? Kind of weak if you ask me. I will be back for season 5 because I like looking at caitlin and iris and a bit curious at the ending we got.

BobbyR · « **Reply #343 on:** May 23, 2018, 11:45:16 AM »

Sounds like the daughter is just like her father. A screw up

I'll probably be back, but all 4 arroverse shows are on the bubble with me

SupTool · « **Reply #344 on:** May 23, 2018, 12:27:38 PM »

Even LoT?

For me that's the one I'm not in the fence, I'm fully on board

BobbyR · « **Reply #345 on:** May 23, 2018, 12:29:42 PM »

yeah even that one. Losing every week and pulling it out at the last minute is not interesting to me

Like I said elsewhere, I'm about fed up with all the CW/DC shows except Black Lightning

You are not alone in this. While I still enjoyed this season, I think Season 2 was overall the best so far. I'll still watch them all even if out of habit.

I always figured Ralph was going to be the "tragic figure" character that suffers greatly, and as such rallies the troops. I also figured he wasn't dying permanently because the character is a regular (albeit not an A-Lister) in the comics.
That said, I think Hartley Sawyer may be the next Jim Carrey.

BobbyR · « **Reply #348 on:** June 01, 2018, 07:15:33 PM »

Nah, he's a better actor than Carrey who is immensely over rated. In fact, he kind of sucks

Depends on the hero, imo.

I liked Superman vs The Elite because it showcased what he stood for. It doesn't matter if it's practical or not, he is the hero who always finds another way.

Someone like Ollie or Castle is a different story, because they were never inspirations in the first place. They're highly flawed characters, who make mistakes and probably CAN't find another way, because they're only human.

On the extreme end of that, you have Tommy Monaghan, and his time with the JLA.

Barry is, imo, one of those inspirational figures.
