Have the writers of The Flash ever played a game of Blackjack at a casino...? Have they ever BEEN in a casino?
Because this plot makes no sense. I'm not saying it's too complicated; I'm saying it feels like it was written by a bad AI or an alien.
The one bar in town apparently also turns into a casino?
And the villain's plan was to cheat in a game of blackjack at this casino-bar by using a meta's luck powers?
Okay, but the way he does it is by forcing the meta to... work at this casino... as a dealer?
And the owners of this casino-bar, who are not associated with the villains, is just okay with being scammed out of their money...?
...because a Blackjack game where the players play against the House is somehow... a private game...?
And the people organizing this game are the very same people that attacked the bar-turned-casino owner YESTERDAY?
Look, I'm not asking for realism; The Flash can be a goofy show, and that's always been one of its charms.
But the writers seriously need to touch grass once in a while. Suspension of disbelief is a thing, you know.
Asinine plot aside, this was an incredibly boring episode featuring lackluster side characters. I get they want to spend more time developing these other people, but none of them are particularly compelling.
It's not like with Nora, Bart, Wally, Cisco, or Wells. Their stories were incredibly interesting, and that allowed them to momentarily steal the spotlight from Barry, in a good way.
The side character we have now couldn't steal a glance from me.
