I also wonder if the reason they're killing off villains this season is because, as alternate universe villains, it's fairly straight forward to bring them back from Earth 3 or 4 next time.
Plus, I don't think they want to house them in their secret prison any more, so it's cleaner for writer purposes to kill them off.
they don't have to house them in star lab's. they don't at all . For two episode's straight Cisco and Joe said iron height's prison has been ready with cell's that can hold meta's in a similar way. that's the problem. if the writer's aren't ready to show it (the super max prison it's self) it's well and good.
but show the cops taking them way to the super max prison in paddy wagons with special hand cuff's or containers in sand demon case. til they are ready to show the prison with in the show.
it's easier insteady of doing this . some how it's not truly coming off as clean as they hope or like to think and is a bit out of character for some some character like that pushing what joe like to push with how the law works and what barry like to do with saying we're scientist, cop's and investigative reporters . we look for evidence etc.
if you don't really care as writers then don't have those two main character say that stuff then.it's a bit self defeating when they say which mean's they(those characters) know better with in the show .
the writeror producer also push self defense with that statement but some fell apart there too just a bit . self defense is when you your self are in as much danger from person attacking you . officer spyvite was already clear of the concussion bomb the one that was in trouble was Jay at that moment still he(sand demon) got distracted by Barry running in a circle around him before launching the lighting. and he let go of jay to dare Barry with his come taunt.
the issue is what jay taught Barry was to make lighting and it was to take him out cause the writers want people just focusing on the fact that he the flash can create lighting and toss it. and it's cool. end story. they forgot about the rest and didn't care past that . they forgot what was over push which they made Joe tell barry that he's not the arrow and will never be like him . and he shouldn't try to the due process stuff with them jailing meta's which what the cops should do not the strar Labs crew .
Now the best that should have been said is that barry had no other options cause he was saving two lives at that moment and couldn't think of anything else at that very moment other then what jay showed with creating lighting.
Even though they showed him training specifically for that super move.
other wise technically what jay showed him was premeditated since it was planned for a bit and they train for it. and they still had option's to create trap \device via Cisco.
with a vacuum type device or since sand demon had a bomb of concussive force for the flash's well make a special grande for sand demon which will trap him in liquefied quick drying cement or concrete .
Anyway i stated before though since sand demon was a psycho it not as much as an issue but they still had time to plan alot.
With atom smasher as I stated before all they have with the heroes are B ,C D tier characters heroes since they can't use the A's likiev super batman wonder woman and for a while the green for most people was in B,C, D area til the animated JLU pushed him out. and they stated he was seen as that as well . that can be used with the league which we know all three CW shows will head to eventually .
Well we'll have to see how far they take this alternate reality story line and we'll see yet another version of atom smasher this isn't used as villain . I just hope other like dr. light and more aren't killed since they are over big talking iron height's super max prison twice since the premier.
they over push certain stuff like what They believe "how the law should work" and then they say make it seem like it's ill relevant with in the show. it's a bit weird.
hmm and I'm a bit worried bout how they'll bring wally in NOW they're idea of clean just isn't as they like to think. still enjoy the show though.
