I thought the season was solid, but not exceptional. A bit too much Iris, the Zoom thing dragged on, but I was reasonably happy with the ending and how it was all resolved. Looking forward to next season.
I'd half expected it to be
Spoiler:
Jay Garrick in the box in some shape or form, but I was honestly surprised by the actor, so that was cool.
This season went way too far into angst town. Maybe I'm misremembering last season but a big draw of that season was how fun it was. It feels like atm the show is going the opposite way to Arrow but still in a bad way. Arrow has gotten worse as it's gotten more goofy and comicbooky. Meanwhile Flash has gotten worse the more it's gotten angsty and melodramatic. They really need to pull it back for next season but I dunno if they can considering where Barry is atm.
There was angst in the 1st season too, but it was easier to ignore because you had a mystery going on as well as getting to know the characters and the universe. From the beginning we knew Dr. Wells wasn't what he seemed, but it took the entire season to unfold and find out exactly who he was and what he wanted.
This 2nd season wasn't bad, but the characters made a lot of the same mistakes. Which to me has unfortunately become a theme in shows on the CW. It happens in Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries too.
I think with his father being killed, he just stopped giving a shit and figured he'd handle any problems that came with it. I suppose he wanted at least one parent to be alive. But now the problem is Norra's non-death should cause a domino effect changing tons of stuff over all the seasons. But I doubt it will. It'll be like one big problem(maybe the Flashpoint or Crisis) that will get fixed by running faster Barry, faster! And then he'll have a mom instead of a dad.
Still think this finale is an excuse to get Supergirl to merge with the rest of the CW cast as why else would the writer introduces one of the big problems like Flashpoint this early in the show's lifespan.

I'm not likin the ending to be honest, I mean what was the point of him moving on from his mothers death in the speed force just to decide to go back in time and save her. He already went back to save her but his future self told him not to.
they did it so Supergirl can fit into the Flarrowverse
I do like Daredevil, but it really doesn't end up feeling like a super hero show. He does feel more like this vigilante, and maybe that is the way it is supposed to be. But Flash is, by leaps and bounds, the far superior super hero series. Marvels seems to make series with people with powers, as opposed to super hero series like Smallville or Flash.
But then these kinds of shows get a lot more episodes in which to tell their story. This doesn't mean Daredevil overall is better/worse, just that it is not really the same kind of thing.

That's what I thought, that the future one should die instead.
The only thing I can figure is that since the future one goes back in time and lives his past life all over again, that at some point (maybe once they've caught up to the time where he time travelled, but this time he doesn't) time allows the past one to be killed off as the future one has replaced him, and there can ultimately only be 1 living the same life in the same time period.
