* AuthorsSavingThrow: A minor case, as the aggravating case of Warden Wolfe getting to remain a VillainWithGoodPublicity to the public even in death has somehow been reversed with his corruption being revealed.

* CounterpartComparison: Many have noted how Cicada's origin is not unlike Agent Liberty / Ben Lockwood's from the concurrent season of ''Supergirl'': their villainous crusades of FantasticRacism are fueled by what happened to their families - Ben lost his house and dad in two different alien attacks while Orlin lost his sister and brother-in-law and then his niece landed in a coma thanks to two different metas. The difference is that Orlin is portrayed slightly more sympathetically since Ben is a SmugSnake DirtyCoward {{Hypocrite}} who doesn't care who dies in his bigoted crusade - human or alien, while Orlin is more of a PayEvilUntoEvil type, since most of the metas he preys upon are violent criminals... when he isn't going after Team Flash.

* AssPull: It's quite hard to take seriously the team just assuming Barry can't possibly run faster than lightning given some of the other stuff he's pulled off, especially spending an entire episode within a single instant last season or when he dodged a lightning bolt back in Weather Wizard’s first appearance back in Season 1. Or even better, when he ''came back in time'' with his own speed still on Season 1, and later on the Season 3 crossover.
