Layed the feminist message on a bit thick

I half expected them to end the episode with everyone throwing their fists in the air and yelling go girl power.

"a bit thick" is to put it nicely.

I NEVER check for directors names/writers in tv shows and I dont expect too much from Flash, its a good enough show with a cliche here and there usually. But this time I did because WTF was this episode....I dont remember the last time rolling my eyes so much. It was cliche after cliche after generic SJW message etc... And that girl power theme (and dialog) throughout was so unimaginative and on the nose, mixed with candystripe sugary outlining that it made me want to vomit. Awful.

please, PLEASE whoever wrote this shi1, dont ever write anything anymore

hashtag you suck

Yes, my god, it was cringey. And what was that plot? Why would metal arm chick spend so much time trying to intimidate Caitlin into being...muscle, protection? It was a thin reason and in fact she would have gotten away with her plan if she had just left her alone. And why did Frost let her go in the end? Just because she didn't kill her doesn't mean she had to let her go. God this show stinks now. A show with even more pep talks from Joe and cliffhangers that involve Cecile getting pregnant, as if any of us give a crap about that.

lol yeah, I didnt even feel going into inconsistencies and stupidity of the plot. Wouldnt know where to begin. And that metal arm chick yes, lol... what,she carries that 50 lbs bucket with metal everywhere :) ? Wouldnt she have a metal belt buckle or some jewelry for convinience. And why would she create a metal arm and then shoot bullets from it,also dont forget the huge recoil they showed it has for some reason lol... Wouldnt she just project the metal pieces themselves.
This is an insulting attitude for sci-fi/fantasy logic and treats fans of the genre as morons. The chick who wrote this obviouslly knows zero about it and read nothing but love novels and watched soap operas all her life.

Today Marvel/DC/ST/SW franchises are FAR most popular and financially successful ,especially those that dont treat their audience as complete fools.

Like this ep/writer did.

Well the fact that we see right through this dumpster fire proves that the writers are lazy idiots rather than vice versa.

Yep, and I checked out before the end of the episode.

"Are you a Doctor Who fan?"

"I am since the Doctor was as woman. Hashtag, feminism."

Hashtag: GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!

I am so goddamn sick of this shit! EVERY show has to have multiple gay characters, because, you know, social justice. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with homosexuality. If that's your thing, fine. It's your private life, I genuinely don't care. But Hollywood is making a concerted effort to promote LGBTQ because they are crusading for social justice. Not telling good stories; crusading for social justice. EVERY show has to have feminist characters, because, you know, social justice. I'm all for gender equality in law and morality. Women should have all the opportunities men have. But Hollywood is making a concerted effort to promote third wave feminism because they are crusading for social justice. Not telling good stories; crusading for social justice.

Fuck you people!!! Tell me good stories. That's ALL I want from you. If you can't do that, fuck you, I'm out. My time is valuable, and I have other things I can do with it. I have had it up to my fucking eyeballs with goddamn SJWs politicizing EVERYTHING! Go fuck yourselves. I just want entertainment. You people are NOT wise philosophers who will make a better world, you are fucking entertainers. That's all. Stay in your damn lane. If you can't stop shoving social justice down my throat, I'm out.
