I am enjoying this series but one thing really annoys me, but I am not sure what can be done about it.
The Flash can take people out of moving cars, put handcuffs on them and put them in other cars in a blink of an eye. (He has super speed, but he doesn't have super strength? right? So how can he lift a man bigger than he is? not my annoyance, just curious)
He can disarm people in a flash. He can run around the city and he moves so fast that people can't see him.
He can run through walls because he is moving so fast.
You get the idea, the flash is really, really fast.
Now the thing that annoys me, Most of the baddies in this series are just humans. The guys who turns into gas, the two brothers that can control the weather etc. Some of the bad guys don't even have powers they just have weapons like Captain Cold.
For most of them he should have been able to do just grab them and put them in their special prison before they even knew what happened!! But, for arguments sake, let's say that the meta humans get quicker reflex's or whatever and are able to defend themselves against that. Captain Cold and his Buddy are just normal guys with fancy guns, he should be able to disable them easily. Even though he did in one episode grab the storm guy out of his bed and put him in the particle prison before he knew what was happening, why can't he do that to them all?
I understand in a show like this you are going to have take a lot of things for granted and suspend your belief to make it all work. But, they needed to have some reasons why the flash doesn't flash around certain people. Like when the general threw a kinetic grenade in one episode. The flash should have been able to avoid it easily, heck the general shouldn't have even had time to throw it.
I haven't seen all the episodes yet of season one, but I hope they work on the script a bit more in season two to make it more consistent. I think that's the word I am looking for. Either He is faster than the blink of an eye or he isn't.
