Is there a better way, though?
And where there are heroes, there must be villains.
If you were recommending the show to someone, you may as well tell them to skip those episodes.
Which begs the question, whats the point of them?
Does that require rushing a forgettable villain through to fill an episode, though?
The result, from time to time, is also a freak of the week.
Compared to killing off supporting characters on a weekly basis, this seems like a masterstroke.
In the last two weeks weve seen another metahuman take up the last-seen-in-the-pilot mantle of Weather Wizard, too.
Like villains from comic books, they can keep torturing Barry for years to come.
Gothamis in the unique position (within this current slate) of not really having a core villain.
At the moment,The Flashis best handling the juggling act between core villain and supporting baddies.
Its best to try and link these to the main plot, though.
When theyre disposed of straight away for no reason, what was the point of including them?
