I gotta be honest...........that episode was straight up trash. Like, this is not what I envisioned for trial of the flash.
Contrary to popular opinion, I like Iris. Barry is her husband so her prescence is expected (I don't understand the outrage over "We are the Flash, but silence over "Team Flash"...mad suspect), BUT I think the Flash truly suffered from "Let's keep the gang together" syndrome. They gotta get rid of Star Labs. Period. Writers should've stopped being bytchmade and went all the way with Killer Frost and shipped her off to Legends. Let Kid Flash shine and give Iris agency as a reporter and for Christ sakes, get rid of Wells. Barry is supposed to be above average intelligence but he's literally as dumb and as clueless as he was season 1. When they were fighting that radioactive guy, I literally said "make a vacuum", but for the sake of "togetherness", they just had to insert KF and Vibe only for them to be useless. Cecile was a TERRIBLE lawyer. The entire court scene, excluding Iris and Marlize..cause that was just good acting, was trash. No cross examinations, no alternative evidence, nothing. They gotta get new writers cause that felt like an episode of Arrow quality wise.
