Granted, the date between Iris and Barry
may not have exactly gone to plan, but the one good thing to come out of this
blossoming romance was that it was made perfectly clear that Iris West wants
Barry Allen… not The Flash.

Sure, you could maybe question why it’s
taken so long for Iris to see plain ol’ Barry in this light – after all, she’s
known him since they were kids – but it was still good to have Iris wanting
Barry for just being Barry.
Overall, the date itself and the writing of
Barry and Iris’ interaction may have been a tad bungled by the show, but it was
at least good to see that Iris was more interested in the regular Barry Allen
than the more superpowered side of him. This was something that felt sincere
and reassuring in a situation and setting that was soon thrown on its head.
