How the hell did Iris went unconscious for several hours because she got hit in the shoulder by a glass shard? I understand her being injured but the gravity of the situation was really blown out of proportion.
Also, Wally is a dick.

Besides Flash, Joe is the best character in the show. By far.

She was sedated for the pain. My aunt works in the Central City ER.

She may have had surgery for her shoulder. The special FX for tar pit were pretty cool.

I guess they all can't be winners. While I wouldn't call this episode filler, it's one of the more forgettable episodes in the show's two seasons.
Even I am starting to zone out whenever there is a heavy scene involving Iris, Joe and Wally together. I understand it's necessary character building for an important new supporting character, but it's beginning to drag the show's pacing and tone down the drain.

Good grief, that slow motion was terrible. Iris acted like she was hit before the shard actually touched her.

Is Caitlin still on this show?
Season one had a good vibe going between Wells, Cisco and Caitlin. It's never felt the same this season with Harry.

They just pretty much confirmed that Batman exists in Flash's multiverse.
I waited until everyone peaced out for the day, then I slipped into S.T.A.R. Labs to “borrow” my vibing goggles. Two shots of liquid courage later (relax, it was orange soda), I threw them on and found myself watching an onslaught of peeks into 2017, 2018, and beyond. Snapshots of Fourth of July BBQ’s, Halloween (that fully-functional Batman suit was badass!),

Tarpit created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, FLASH #174.
Decent episode. Tarpit effects were handle well.
I though Iris made a dumb move by confronting the guy that leads the Drag Racing.
Glad they didn't drag out Wells secreatly working for Zoom until the end of the season.

I was expecting this episode to be filler and a dud, but the stuff with Harry made it a lot better. Tarpit was sorta dumb, but at least he was easily handled.
I was a little surprised they just dispatched Francine so suddenly. She didn't get a funeral or anything. One week she's dying in the hospital, the next week she's outta here! And Caitlin wasn't far behind her. What was up with her complete lack of participation?
Also, Joe is a terrible cop. Not only does he turn a blind eye to a highly illegal private prison that is basically kidnapping metahumans, he takes an in-custody prisoner and uses him as bait for someone they may or may not be able to control. And he really likes using those fists too.

Why does every show have to do their own little Fast & Furious thing? Is it a required pliotline if you do a show these days, like the whole "underground fight club" thing used to be a few years back?

I was literally cheering out loud for Iris to get hit by the car and be off the show.m wife thought I was crazy. Sadly it was just a shard of glass. 
Btw, wouldn't the car have had safety glass for that exact reason?... Or is the explanation that the car model predates safety glass?
Glad to have the twist with Well's revealing his plot so soon. I would have expected that to take a few eps to come about. I am surprised it took so much off from Barry's speed so quickly. Figured it would be like the penny scam from Office Space.
I've only watched two episodes of Supergirl (pilot and Thanksgiving episode). I haven't be super I,pressed by it, but I'm really excited about the crossover news. I think The two could have great chemistry. Plus I'm assuming it has to be Earth 3 since that show is so different tonally from earth 2.
