Quite late in having just wrapped up the season, but what a bummer. Lots of things in this show pissed me off from the very start, but there would usually be some redeeming factor that made it worthwhile. A creative super-speed sequence, a fan favorite character showing up, a recreation of an iconic scene. Ralph definitely enhanced the show and is missed.
This season had none of that for me. The forces & evil speed force was a truly awful storyline, Cecile and Allegra (who I don't really care about) got increasingly prominent and dramatic storylines, and Godspeed (who I was never much of a fan of to begin with, since he reinforced Barry's dead mama drama) was completely bastardized. I also hated the constant use of lightning and lightning constructs; I'm not against him generating electricity once in a while, but the Flash is not Black Lightning or Green Lantern, he's the fastest man alive. Worst of all, the writing didn't make sense; motivations were bizarre or unexplained, dangerous villains were forgiven nonchalantly, and the pep talks became unbearable.
At this point it's a bad family drama disguised as a superhero show, and it's becoming ever more apparent. I hope it ends with a bang, an epic focus on Thawne reminiscent of the first season, and calls it a day.
EDIT: Wrong thread

This adaptation of Bart was okay. I think it's weird whenever Barry and Iris fully act like the actual parents of these youngish adults that they technically never raised yet. I thought having Bart sing that song was cringey as hell. I like Shipp as Jay very much and loved his helmet throw but he's not exactly new or novel at this point.
Rick Cosnett has just announced on Instagram that he is returning to The Flash this season.
Im easily a sucker for any crossovers of any kind so I am naturally all in.
