I mean, obviously a big run, but it does feel like even among fans, the consensus seems to often be "it's been time to end it."

The good news is that they should be able to give us a good series finale. The season 5 finale would have been a perfect finale if not for the Crisis tease. And the season 7 finale would have been a damn good series finale. So now they know what will be the finale, I've got faith they'll deliver.

I hope we get the legends just to be able to wrap up that damn story even in just one episode because f***'em for cancelling it just as we got Booster Gold.

Looks like we are finally getting that plot from abra cadabra about Barry being obsessed with the future. Interesting we see Fall 2024 from the book which was the year he was suppose to originally vanish in crisis. All I will say is this better end with us coming full circle and end with Barry chasing OG Eobard back in time to the night he kills Nora Allen.

Yes , but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about circling back to the OG pre-season 1 timeline...where pre-season 1 original timeline Barry stops our Barry from saving his mother the first time and then saves his child self which results in original Eobard (non Wells version) killing his mother. Because we still never found out what happened to that Barry after he saved his child self which IMO is probably the biggest lingering thread in the whole show since whatever happens to that Barry results in season 1 officially kicking off the show.

Lines with with what every long term fan of this show has said that there is only way it not only should end but can end. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}By going back to the OG pre-season 1 timeline..and we finally find out what happened to the only Barry left that we have met but never got an explanation for.

I think I was meant to care who was under the mask for the baddie for this season but man I really really don’t. Still, I like what the baddie is so swings and roundabouts I guess
Also CW, I won’t proclaim this is a majority opinion (It may or may not be, I have no idea) but I really don’t care about the new team flash and whether Allegra & Chester will or won’t get together. Chester is alright but Allegra as a character is really boring

Why the f*** did it take till the last season to get a long multi-episode arc with the Rogues as the focus? I've been wanting that for years.
They should have been the focus in season 6 or in season 7 till Godspeed showed up. They're so much damn fun. Barry's group of enemies that he will work with sometimes, because for the most part their goal is just to steal shit, would have been better arcs than "I must take over or destroy the world."
And remember the words of wisdom from the greatest Rogue, "Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to fail and go off the rails. Throw away the plan."

It seemed like they were building up to some kind of Rogues alliance in the earlier seasons, but then when Mick and Rory went in the anti-hero direction on Legends of Tomorrow they just gave up on it in favor of "what evil speedster does Barry have to outrun this season" plots instead.

Goldface was f***ing hilarious on lastnights episode.
"Book club will remain a safe space" lol
It is nice to see the rogues getting to play a pivotal part in atleast this early portion of the season.
Don't see them making it out of this alive though sadly.

Thats why a lot of the Rogues now aren't as well known faces as the OGs.

It'd be like doing a Spider-Man show and only giving Vulture like one episode and dedicating an entire season to the f***ing Spot.

More specifically, instead of any of the Sinister Six, all of Spider-Man’s enemies are just evil webslingers.

They may not have gotten a full season to themselves although the season they introduced amunet did give them a fair ammount of attention.
But the rogues have always played a role in every season even if they are the more obscure ones.
Them not giving Grodd a full season is the one that always kills me.

Captain Cold and Heat Wave were good recurring secondary villains in the earlier seasons of the Flash. Weather Wizard and Mirror Master, too. But obviously Thawne or Zolomon are going to be considered more the major nemeses for Barry and co. over the Rogues. Even in the comics, the Rogues are usually considered more small-time because they don't really go for these massive capers or represent major threats. More petty crimes like theft or robbery.
Also helps that the Rogues tend to be more honorable than a lot of other supervillains, including a strict "no killing unless absolutely necessary" code of conduct. Probably why it was easy to transition guys like Snart and Rory into anti-heroes or even outright heroes in later seasons and Legends of Tomorrow.
