I agree with you 100 percent but one thing I didn't like about Barry's behavior was that he was being a hypocrite.

And this is exactly why everyone hates Iris. Every other episode she's fighting with Barry for a stupid reason, and we know it's only because the writers can't think up other ways to start drama and conflict. What they don't understand is that people don't want to see a husband and wife fighting with each other every time a decision has to be made. We want to see a married couple support each other. Iris wouldn't be nearly as hated if she had to go through conflict with others because she stands by Barry and his choices, and vice versa for him.

[@hellshing4866]

Barry said earlier in the season that even Thawne could change. But the problem with Barry/Iris arguing is the fact that Barry never mentions that Nora has been seeing Thawne even after she went back in time. Iris only saw Nora/Thawne as the "she needed to know how to use her powers so she went to the only one who could." Hardly something to blame Nora for. But knowingly coming back to Thawne when Barry was there is what she completely ignores and I doubt she'd be so keen on defending this situation from there.

You know a lot of Nora's decisions would have made more sense if she were younger. Just make her like 13 or 14 and have her go back to try and meet her dad on thawnes advice, not knowing it's a part of his plan. So because she see's him as a sort of fun uncle she gets manipulated into doing something, then she dies as a result. Of course this ends thawne gaining the benefits.

I haven't seen season 6 yet, but the thing that really broke this show for me, was Westallen.

It pushed so many things out of the spotlight, things that I miss, for itself, and that makes it really hard for me to appreicate them as a couple. I honestly wish they'd killed her off in season 3 when it seemed like she would die - not just because she's a bland character, but because it also would've shaken up the entire dynamic of the show as Barry learns to function without one of the most important people in his life. It would've been cool to see a self-fulfilling future here, for example. To show Barry that his mistakes are important, and hopefully to help him grow from them.

Brooo that would've been so much cooler honestly. It would make Cicada an actual threat and make the plot a lot more interesting. We could have seen Dwyer grow his followers and have Barry, Ralph, and Sherloque do detective work together! Everytime people die, cicada could get more powerful, and eventually, we wouldn't need another one. We could have seen him get more abilities (like future grace had) gradually. Finally, the writers should have picked up the pace with Thawne and remove unnecessary drama, acting, and plot holes. All of that could have been combined to make season five decent.

Cisco even wanting to cure himself makes no sense, but Caitlin being terrified he'll weaponize it against HER makes even less sense. Then there's this SUPER retarded bullshit about how it's the WORST THING to force ANY meta to be cured unless they wanted to. THESE FUCKERS HAVE NEARLY COMMITTED GENOCIDE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS! STICK EM FOR FUCK'S SAKE! They'd rather lock people in pretty inhumane conditions than give them a shot and take away THEIR ABILITY TO MURDER HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN TEN SECONDS!

[@violetlavi2207]

[@princessmanitari4993]

I'm personally also disliking strongly how everytime the CW has a dorky character in their DC/CW shows, they completely ignore it by the second season of the character. With cisco it also dissapeared, not just with barry, it's definetly there and you could say they 'grew up' but i still miss their way to properly outsmart others. Now it feels like the only reason to even have this team is for the powers, not because they're smart. I have the same issue in LOT, where nate/captain steel, his dorkyness just dissapears after his first season on the show. I'm just really frustated by it; because it can bring a lot more personality to a character. But hey, that's my piece.

Nora didn't do anything herself, her connection with Thawne is completely understandable, so Barry wasn't acting at the Flash stopping a villain even if they are related, he was acting as a son, who is basically afraid of the man who killed his mother, and tries to stop this man from hurting the best he can. I mean Thawne was in a jail in the future, and banishing her was impulsive, and irresponsible, because it litteraly was part of Thawne's plan. So, he just acted bases on his emotions, just blinded by his lost of his mother, he was blinded by family. If he truly wanted to act as a super hero, he would have asked Team Flash.
