Nope not even close. That was the iPad commercial. I'm talking about the Depth Control commercial
My bad, I thought you talking about a different iPad commercial.
20 minutes of flashbacks of Grampa Joe singing "Baby Shark" to young Nora.
Member Team Flash charging straight ahead to fight the gorillas?
I member.
Well...that was an episode...
Also, just lol @ the idea that our team needs some kind of plan to beat Cicada at this point. Just, you know, don't fucking stand there doing nothing every single fucking time you get him down. Iris could have killed him in his apartment! In this episode, Nora could have just stuck someone up on the roof with a gun. He goes to the same spot every time. Set something up! Ugh, this is so bad.

Wow that certainly was something
They fucked the time loop episode up so badly compared to how Legends did it perfectly
It took Nora 52 times failing because apparently she didn't learn any lessons from the time loop even though that's the whole fucking point of the concept, it took the team to notice and call her out on her time travel.
And once Cicada got a dagger to the chest... Nora just stood there doing nothing. Didn't knock him out. Killer Frost didn't freeze him. Just let him recover enough to fly away.
The only good thing about this episode was the Jay throwback with the cup/timeline metaphor.
And yeah Captain Marvel looks awful

Ok this was a MUCH better episode than the recent ones... however the "resolution" they came up with was a head scratcher and still... to ZeroX 's point, they still just stood there and let him fly away.
They really should have ended the Cicada arc before the break and then continued on with the future Wells arc for 2019.

Another infuritingly garbage episode!
Crisco being a toolbag? Check.
Complete waste of a time loop premise? Check.
Someone comes off as a huge idiot? Check.
Cicada the weirdo goof tools on the heroes, eventually gets shoved over, then just gets away while they all stand around? You'd better believe it!
Also, friggin' LOL at Barry lecturing Nora about changing the past. NORA'S VERY PRESENCE IS CHANGING THE PAST, BARRY. Everything she does is inherently changing the past because she is a time traveller from the future.

So another bad episode I take it? I can't watch it live so I have to usually wait for cw to upload it online lol.

They let Cicada get away again after having him down.. again? I'm shocked. Shocked I say!

If you gave a shit about not fucking up the timeline, you should've sent her home a long-ass time ago dummies. You can't give her a lecture about that shit and still have her stay in the past, literally changing things by the second.

Pretty much this.

I think Barry is an alright teacher, with Wally and Jessie but its like why does he never use his own advice lol? Have we ever seen Barry use Flash time to actually have time to figure out his situation and plan?
I know the 52 thing is a cute joke but fuck you it shouldn't take you that long to either tell them about the loop, use her reverse powers that she know she has or prepare for the obvious and predictable knife trap and just ambush him before hand
It's not like Tom cruise in Edge of tomorrow where he was an alien army and he was just some Joe schmoe so he needed years worth of training and save scumming to figure out their plan
Nora just being an idior

They really can't think of ways for Cicada to escape without making Team Flash look like imbeciles time and time again?
Its really stupid because most of the plans are actually good and work but then its like no we still need more episodes with Cicada lets have the team lose again.
Last week w/ Iris basically handling him with no plan whatsoever pretty much broke me
It what makes it annoying pretty much everytime they're actually prepared for him they win but Cicada gets the upper hand because they just stand there and let him do whatever
At least the other main villains could just run away or teleport faster than they could do anything I mean yeah he could fly but that feels like a lame version of a smoke bomb writers add so he can run away and sorry they can just follow him
Honestly imagine how could it would be if early on Barry did grab and run but the dagger was able to gain enough speed that he got tagged. So he can't just grab and run
That makes him an actual threat and gives more credence to curing him because you can't just grab hin

It's obvious as hell the writers/showrunners just want to drag this out as long as possible even after promising shorter arcs. That, or in true Flash writer fashion, they forgot they even said that in the first place.
What I don't get about literally every time he's hurt and escapes is why they always just shrug and let him go without any effort.
- They have speedsters that can follow him at a distance to see where he goes.
- They have satellites and a million different tech means to follow him to see where he goes.
- They have a Meta who, using any of his stuff from the multiple old hideouts he's had that they know about, can vibe him and find him in two seconds.
In addition, everyone and their mother knows Killer Frost is his weakness. Why does she insist on fighting him hand to hand every single time? Just freeze blast him already. He either gets frozen solid or he has to block it with the dagger, freeing up possible attacks from literally everyone else.
I don't think they realize that dragging this out just makes Team Flash look worse and worse.
edit:
Also, a whole month to make the cure is bullshit.

People keep mentioning that they promised shorter arcs, but I don't think they did? This is the quote I found and it doesn't say they're doing a split season or pods, just that they'll have a few major stories at difference paces. Which so far is true (Cicada, Future Thawne, Metahuman Cure, Caitlin's stuff).

Pretty sure that's the only reference to it. It's the only one I remember at least. Everyone just expected Cicada's arc to be one of the short ones since he's, you know.. terrible.
Still, we're 14 eps into the season and it feels like no progress has been made and they're actively finding ways to stretch this out by making the team dumber.

Trash episode. Flash is at the bottom of the CW cape shows at the moment. Even Supergirl has been better this season.

It's still consistently the highest rated show of the bunch after all these years
Maybe this is some sick thought experiment to make each previous season appear better in comparison to the current?
And we're all getting roped in.

I like the way that they seemingly demonstrated that Cicada's powers were growing like eight episodes ago, and then promptly forgot about it.
Were they growing? Are they still growing? What is even happening?
One of the major complaints about Legends of Tomorrow season 1 was that Vandal Savage was a huge chump, and showing him almost get caught and just defeat/escape the Legends every episode made them look like even huger chumps. It's like the Flash writers saw that and said "Hold my Venti Cicada."
Also, I'm seriously alarmed that Jitters named one of their drinks a Cicada. Cicada STALKED AND MURDERED A LADY IN THEIR PARKING LOT.

Yeah it's like if I walked into a major popular restaurant and ordered a small Ted Bundy with almond milk, it's just odd. Raises a lot of questions about the management of the company.
I mean, there ARE theme restaurants that do shit like that.
But Jitters seems to just be CW Starbucks, which is what makes it so weird. Do the Jitters in National City have Metallos?
Just wait until a future episode reveals they have GroddBurgers - Made with Real Ape!
I can't help but laugh at every Poochie exit Cicada does lol. Like they ran out of ideas to how to make a villain escape without being a speedster
LMAO
You telling me you dont like a tall cup of Charles Manson or Ted Bundy from Starbucks?
How far are Jitters going to go, because at this point the only thing i can see stopping them is if The Flash gets a racist villain and they decide to come out with some Blackface product to sell based on him and they cause an outrage big enough it needs to be recalled.

Damn you, should have refreshed my browser before posting my joke.
