Yeah. It was what cemented my belief that Remender should never be allowed to start new relationships. He writes existing romantic relationships well enough. But there was no chemistry at all between Val and Flash. It just came out of nowhere.
I actually think they do make sense as a couple. They've both got a bit of an entertainment background. They have similarly outgoing personalities. The fact that they both fly is almost certainly going to create a bond. So that's a pairing I'm totally behind.
