And you in the medium of joyless husk.
I will complain that the Iris/Barry love storyline was by far the worst and most cringeworthy shit. Most of the adolescent love shit on TV is. But the fact that Captain Cold shoots him without him flashing away? I don't care.
Why do his limbs get all squishy when he moves—sometimes he even jumps across the screen in the blink of an eye. This show makes no sense and YOU make no sense.

And I don't really see a problem with that. It is what it is, there are character moments and episodes that are quite good, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't work but w/e. The shitty things on this show are true of every-single Buffy/Firefly/Farscape/iZombie/Star Trek/Whatever. All of that stuff is *really fucking shitty* if you grade them against things outside of that tier.
This is exactly like those examples, but with (generally) really high production values. A light entertainment! Don't mean a thing, baby.
Lars von Trier movies exist in the same world as "Gunsmoke" and "Dragnet", either way you kind of go in to it knowing what you're expecting to get out of it. Sometimes that ain't to your taste, 'that's cool too'. If you go into Dragnet expecting "Seven" you deserve disappointment, to some degree.

Flash is fantastic, Mzo and Arobimi are wrong.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Steven Universe is fantastic. If it had bad dialogue, terrible writing, and awful voice actors, it would be a lot like the Flash.
You can have campy super hero stuff that isn't CW hot teenager crap. Maybe the good bits will eventually outnumber the bad bits but they certainly don't in the first five episodes.
I'm going to keep watching because it's unintenionally hilarious and deliciously infuriating.
You should. The show is called the Flash. It's all he does and all he has.

Well didn't they explain in the context of the show that the ice gun slows him down since cold is the enemy of motion? That was the entire reason Cisco invented it in the first place—to stop Barry if he ever turned meta human evil.
You still have to shoot it for that to happen.

He uhh did it before the Flash could power up then. I don't know—you're being the worst negative nelly.
Nah, he was already moving fast when he caught up to the train and jumped in the window. Instead of stopping to pose he could have just taken the cold gun and then had a chat with the normal man who, again, has no special powers outside of chewing the scenery. Ridiculous.
Also, killing off the metahuman every episode is getting hilarious. You'd think after the first two were shot by a third party while they were talking he'd start searching the very few people on the scene for guns and start disarming them instead of letting it happen yet again. He could do it pretty fast, if he wanted to.
