The Flash: 10 Things Season 2 Has Got Horribly Wrong (So Far)
7. Henry Allens Exit
Considering that Barry spent nearly all of Season 1 desperately trying to free his father from jail, Henry Allen sure did get out of town quick. He gave some forced explanation for why he couldnt get in Barry's way but the whole thing just felt like lazy writing. The more likely reason behind his sudden departure is that the writers had no clue what to do with him for an entire season if he was hanging out with Team Flash. The problem is that theres no reason he couldnt just stick around in Central City and not be seen. Surely audiences would understand when Barrys dad didnt appear every episode. Even a few cursory mentions of Barry seeing him would be enough to convince people that he was still actively involved in Barrys world. The worst part of this is that it retroactively hurts Season 1. In hindsight, its hard to care too much about Barry recusing his dad when its now clear how little impact it will actually have on his life.
