I just can't take the cringy dialogue and villains anymore. When we have the main villain of an episode talking on the phone in baby voice and just casually chatting with Barry about his relationship therapist is, I just wonder how the writers room could think this was okay for television. The dialogue writing is so bad that Chester and Allegra had a full 2 minute conversation that was nothing but babbling and awkward mumbles.
Overall, the only thing that this episode did even minimally well was attempt to show Kramer in a better light, although it's forced on us as they know the fans don't like her.
This show has taken a clear turn toward immaturity. Nothing feels serious anymore. No suspense, no darkness. It feels like it's a completely different show than it was for seasons 1-5 (and parts of season 6). Armageddon seemed to good to be true, although certain scenes were still too corny for television.
I know better than to get my hopes up for the rest of the season because I did that last year and then Eric Wallace gave us a Godspeed with absolutely zero character development because the Godspeed appearances before Crisis had nothing to do with his actual arc. The we get lines like "Come to daddy my children" and a lightening light saber battle.
I want this show to succeed so badly because The Flash is my favorite comic character and this show and Grant gave us a phenomenal Flash for 6 years. But even one more Eric Wallace written episode with dialogue, villains, or sub-plots like this, will ensure that this show ends after 8.
