* RealityEnsues: Barry and Iris may have never seen each other as brother and sister, and Joe may have been very supportive of the two forming a relationship, but Barry still sees Joe like a father, and likewise Joe raised Iris and Barry alongside each other, plus Barry is dating his daughter, so there's bound to be some uncomfortable moments between the two of them when Iris wants to be a little more intimate with Barry.

* WritersCannotDoMath: Barry's supposed fastest speed is again mentioned as being Mach 3. In season 2 Barry could normally run at mach 2, and at one point managed to reach mach 3,3 and then got tachyon enhancement which increased his speed about four times meaning his top speed should be ''at least'' mach 8, if you take it being four times faster than his standard, or over mach 13 if you take it as four times his top, either way it should be way more than mach 3. Thought it may be that Barry was holding back.
