Flash episode 2x03 Family of Rogues
Oct. 21st, 2016 11:55 pm(Trigger warnings for Lewis Snart, child abuse, that continues into adulthood, and the violence in this episode.)
I think I am not reacting to this one scene in The Flash quite as the writers intended
cause Barry tells Cold there is good in him and he knows he wants to be better
and I want to punch him in his smug little face.
I mean, I slept on it,and I'm still feeling mostly that.

TL DR I have a lot of feels about abused kids trying to grow away from their parents, and their parents, and addiction which got brought up in this episode, and Barry and his lack of shades of grey just... keeps putting his foot in it as far as I can see.
Feels rollercoaster.
But writers maybe know that, so okay, punching in the smug face may even be one of the layers of react in there.
And I can stare at Wentworth Miller having feelings for really a lot.
Bad guy still did bad things though.
You know if the whole justice and prisons system worked properly in comics universes they'd end up with hardly anything to do. Vigilante action from both sides of the line only happens because they're convinced the courts and law enforcement officers won't save them.
I prefer those stories where the heroes notice they're breaking the law though. I mean, Barry is so wrong in season one saying the difference is the good guys do it to help people. Bad guys got their people too. But I guess it is why Barry is so smug face thinking it makes a difference now Snart has a 'good' motive.
Heh, look at that gigantic meta trying to pick a fight with one scene I actually really like from an episode where only the science is cringeworthy. Me being fannish again, how I have missed it.
