But this little plot diversion does result in a promising tidbit that may pay off down the line when Breacher decides to retire, he suggests that Cisco should take over his job - especially since it would give Cisco more time to spend with Gypsy.

The one plus point? An excuse to bring DC's vampiric baddie Crucifer to the Arrowverse, which is pretty hilarious, even if the green screen leaves something to be desired. Distractingly cute meta references to Trejo's real-life donut shops (which are known for their pineapple fritters and nacho donuts) make these scenes particularly cringeworthy - as if the show had to bribe Trejo to show up with some thinly veiled product placement. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith channeling their inner Jay and Silent Bob.The show's most overtly comedic storyline, involving Cisco having to tell Danny Trejo's Breacher that his 'performance issues' are due to old age (complete with a joke about him needing to take little blue pills) is so broad, the poor actors might as well be holding for applause between every line. And while it's definitely fun to embrace the idea that Jay and Silent Bob are now officially part of the Arrowverse's canon (although come on, who in their right minds would ever trust those two knuckleheads to unload priceless artifacts?!), the script just isn't strong enough to support director Kevin Smith's more playful instincts here. But the show is certainly committed to Ralph and his zany hijinks at this point, and this episode veers hard into comedic territory without a parachute (or, indeed, a whoopee cushion landing pad), meaning that a lot of slapstick falls flat. Ralph behaves like a child for most of this episode, and Barry is kind of right to call him on it, especially when goofing off can endanger people's lives. This is fine in theory, except we've seen multiple episodes dealing with our hero's control-freakery and his reluctance to listen to alternative points of view, so at this point, he shouldn't need to have these anvils dropped on his head.Д«esides which, Ralph is clearly in the wrong here - there's a time for schtick (although there's never a time for an in-joke as lame as 'we could take it to Washington, weвЂ™d be the the DC comics') and it's not at a crime scene where priceless vases can be destroyed, or during unofficial interrogations while wearing a respected cop's face. Despite the fact that Ralph keeps sabotaging their missions by being cocky, or refusing to follow Barry's directions in the field, the episode basically ends up with Iris gently telling Barry to remove the stick from his ass and accept that other people have different ways of approaching the same task, since there's not just one correct way to be a superhero. This week, his questionable superhero style isn't presented as his problem, but Barry's.

Poor Marlize DeVoe is trapped in her own personal groundhog day in 'Null and Annoyed,' but she's not the only one the show also seems eager to keep repeating the same beats over and over again with Ralph, who has had approximately eleventy-five chances to discover the hero inside himself this season, only to revert back to being annoying, insecure, or overconfident whenever the plot demands it. Hey gang, Laura here, subbing in for Jesse this week (hence the delayed West Coast review) - it's been a month since our last installment of The Flash, and unlike Harry Wells, not a lot has changed since then. This review contains spoilers for The Flash Season 4, episode 17, titled 'Null and Annoyed.' To refresh your memory of where we left off, check out our recap of episode 16.
