Script For Flash 4.7

So, in this episode we learn that DeVoe is the most intelligent entity in, if not all of Creation, then in the world, our world. The problem with this narrative development is that the show's writers cannot support it; moreover, it shows that Team Flash is less than the sum of their intellectual parts. Let's follow what has by now become the convenient and trite assumption (cf., Limitless and that movie Depp made) that a human who can use 100 percent of her/his brain would be tantamount to a god. Let's say that's true. Nowhere in this paradigm is it obvious that god is also psychic. In the course of his doctor's diagnosis and prognosis of his medical condition, DeVoe starts spouting information to which he has not been exposed; in other words, things he cannot know. Intelligence is a necessary, but insufficient, cause for knowledge. Intelligence must be combined with learning to create knowledge. But that's inconvenient, takes time, not exciting, and I can double-dog guarantee you that the CW writers do not have one degree in either education or cognitive development among them.

Team Flash: Could not be bothered to examine the android head for bugging technology? Really? Finally find the surveillance tech, and DO NOT sweep all of Star Labs, their cars, their homes, their work sites, their bungholes? Really? Team Flash deserves to fail, because their writing bullpen, who MUST write clickbait on the side, is failing then miserably. I am insulted by the relentless stupidity of these scripts, which is a shame because I like the characters and the players.

It doesn't have to be this way.
