not sally writing a whole show where shes an amazing mother supporting her kid out of an abusive relationship and then becoming abusive towards her real life kid. not telling her agent that she has 'more to bring to the table than breakfast' only to end up as a waitress in a breakfast bar. not barry spinning a narrative to his son about being a war hero and even naming himself after superman when his son doesnt even know his real name or that they're on the run for murder. 'he thinks my name is emily' 'but he knows who YOU really are.' not hank telling barry that he didnt want to take everything for himself and wanted to split it 50/50 with cristobal only to kill cristobal and taking it all for himself but still acting like it's both of their empire. naming his business a combination of their names and erecting a golden shrine to his dead lover. everyone is acting. everyone trying desperately to live their own lie.
the fact that nobody's talking about how gene apparently killed his own son and sally ran away with barry and there was apparently a time skip and they have a kid now & the massive potential ramifications of all that bc were all so. fucking devastated over hank and cristobal.
I just watched Noho Hank, my favourite Barry character, almost killing the man he loves with sand, betraying him, killing his partners, yelling at him, refusing to understand him, breaking up with him, BEGGING him to not leave because he knew what he had to to next, letting him go, having a total breakdown, and killing the man he loves, ALL in the span of 33 minutes, Bill Hader you are a SICK man and my lawyer will be in contact.
