I actually had a lot of fun with this episode, cheesiness and all. The whole Rogues thing was definitely missing from earlier seasons, so it was kind of nice to see it to some extent here. The actor playing Gold Face is having the time of his life.

Yeah still a lot of useless filler, especially with the whole Allegra/Chester thing and I'm not too keen on the new "Caitlin" but it is what it is.

I definitely cringed at the last line of the episode though. You guys can do better than that

Sometimes an actor says a line so perfectly that anyone attempting it afterwards — even in tribute — is doomed to fall short.

Ugh…. Honestly while slightly better it still feels underwhelmingly bad filler and chillblaine is getting on my last nerve. Oh man that was cringy delivery of the iconic line that belongs to Batman.

I hate this Red Death arc it’s basically Savitar all over again mixed with Reverse Flash.

That’s the type of line that actors get a kick out of and work to get it just right. For me Javicia nailed it. It shouldn’t be used as a line in a comics based TV show or film for a few years at least and tough luck to the next actor who has to say it.

I thought this episode was ok. I like that we are getting some version of the Rogues as a combined unit and that Barry has his own version. I love Javica Leslie as Ryan Wilder but that “Vengeance” line was just not that good. I’ve been enjoying this final season so far but also it feels like another reminder that this show is way past its glory days despite my enjoying the Eric Wallace run on the series overall.

They pretty much say what everyone (at least the few left that are still watching) is thinking. What a waste of valuable time in a final, shortened season. Filler episodes??? WHY?
