I can understand Cisco wanting to keep things under wraps until he had something tangible to bring to the table. It's a sensitive subject, and you don't want to give people false hope. But Iris' attitude was just sh!t throughout the episode. If you ignore her parts, it becomes a lot more enjoyable. Definitely not perfect (I found the novelty of Barry's

weird mumble code
On a random note, how in the actual flying f***
Spoiler:
did Caitlin manage to tag Barry with that gun while he was in full speedster mode in the lab. Usually he gets tagged because he stands around like a dumbass, but he was going HAM (Cisco wanted to vibe blast him but couldn't follow him), and, as has been directly confirmed now, Barry is much faster than he was before. But Caitlin just casually pot shots him as though she was shooting fish in a barrel.
Wait, so it's not
Spoiler:? Disappointing. This show specializes in cheesy over-the-top plotlines, and

Meh, he was just going in circles, and didn't have his wits about him. We've seen LOTS worse.

Depends on the story.Yeah, every student of history knows the Lady of the Lake gave him Excalibur, but it's not like there isn't tons of stories and classic media saying otherwise.
That's what usually annoys me though, it's not like it can't be remedied, it literally takes 10 seconds to explain but writers seem hell bent on it for some reason. Back to the show though, Barry's 'crazy' performance was cringeworthy. Also disappointed that they solved the cliffhanger in the space of an episode again.

I get the same way about Frankenstein's monster, and how a lot of writers name the monster Frankenstein.
Not sure if lazy, ignorant, or just figures the audience is too dumb to bother with it (I'd imagine everyone involved in Monster Squad imagined their target audience is professional wrestling and Nascar fans.. And I say that as a wrestling fan, but I've no illusions how they're perceived.. I've actually had people tell me "You watch that stuff? You seem smarter then that."😉

****ing Iris...
What does Barry even see in her? She's attractive I suppose, but other than that....? She's just kind of annoying.
I feel like she played Eddie too. I think she knew deep down she was in love with Barry, she kept Eddie around as a place holder until she was ready to admit her feelings for Barry.
