SPOILER: What I will say about these past few episodes of The Flash is that they've done a lot better job of developing supporting roles or one-off roles. Just as a few weeks back they added a lot to Becky Sharpe's character by giving her valuable screen time, I thought the addition (albeit brief) of Izzy Bowin was solid to say the least. Even if we never see that version of Bowin again, and she simply just fills The Thinker's role for a few episodes, I think she proved to be one of the more memorable side characters this season. But that's just me.
On the other hand, it's of course worth noting just how pointless it feels that the show put Barry in prison. I guess Barry's extended leave of absence is somewhat important? But then again, it's not like we watch the show on a weekly basis because we're interested in seeing what Barry does at crime scenes, we watch because he's the flippin flash. But besides his suspension, the show returned to status quo and didn't seem to care one bit about Barry's time in prison. It begs the even bigger question, what the hell does DeVoe even want?
I guess the next few episodes will presumably deal with the team figuring out a way to enhance the cerebral inhibitor device while DeVoe just waits in his dungeon to strike against another bus-meta, because he likes playing dress-up with people's brains. Perhaps the thing this season has going for it is that I'm honestly not sure what comes next? It's not like I can even fathom what DeVoe is planning next, so it keeps me on the edge of my seat? Well, not completely. If I'm being blunt, the constant change in actor for DeVoe is REALLY starting to get frustrating and annoying. At least we get another week of Miranda MacDougall, right?
7.0/10
