The Flash Barry is a stooge/ Bad writing

[LaughingMage]

Damn, the writers really turned Barry into a stooge in this one.

Spoiler

What's with him letting his Dad rot in prison? He's got the power to get him out in a flash (hurr hurr), he knows his Dad is innocent and what does he do? "Hey Dad, sorry, afraid you have to suffer a bit more. I could get you out now cause I got all these great powers but I'm gonna be a moron about it. So don't worry, keep on enjoying the ****** food, potential abuse by your fellow inmates and prison staff and over all lack of decent living conditions. I have no clue I might suceed but hey, I'm confident I can prove your innocent cause I can run really really fast now, kay Bye"

He should have done a prison break for his old man the second he got his powers. The whole story establishes that his Dad is innocent and that his sentencing was a miscarriage of justice. Him breaking his Dad out would have been morally justified and the way a real human being would act in this situation.

If this is the kind of writing we can expect then this is gonna be a train wreck.

this thread is a joke... Barry wants to get his dad out the legal way. What kind of life would his dad even have if he was broken out of prison?

Exactly. This thread really doesn't make sense.

Barry would be an outlaw if he broke his father out of prison. Also, wouldn't it be suspicious if Barry's father broke out in such a weird way? There would be a public connection between Barry's father and The Flash. Barry needs to keep his identity a secret, breaking his father out in such an over the top way immediately makes Barry a suspect.
