Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with Candice Patton about the last couple of episodes.
No big reveals, but it's still a nice read.

Spoilers The Flash - Season 6
- Thread starter Christopher
- Start date
Showrunner Eric Wallace mentioned a few things to TV Guide (there are no spoilers) but ideas for seasons eight and nine and the possibility The Flash may still have many years left. Season seven seems to be the last season on Grant Gustin's original contract (as others have pointed out in this thread, listen to the Inside of Me podcast episode).
So will they extend Grant Gustin's contract a couple more years or will they continue the show with a different Flash?
Per Grant Gustin in the article: "The conversations actually had started already for adding a potential eighth and ninth [season], but then this pandemic happened, and everything has stopped," Gustin told Rosenbaum. "We don't know when we're back, and I don't know when we're going to continue the renegotiation talks."

I just watched this week's episode. I agree that it was a real step up. It seems like COIE was a detriment to The Flash's arc this year. It would have been a fantastic season if the current storyline had been more integrated from the beginning and didn't have that break in the middle.
I also agree that Candice Patton has become a real strong point of this series. Back in the first couple of seasons I admit that I was waiting for the Death of Iris arc but the writers have really given her material that lets her show off her acting chops. That final scene was brilliantly done.

There's a variety article on how the production and content of shows might be affected by the ongoing pandemic:
I immediately had a mental image of Zoom running around as a courier, rather than using the software.

^ Yeah, I read that whole article, and it's kind of worrying. I don't know how you can hope to create satisfying TV when characters can't touch each other, or even share a medium shot. If these kinds of restrictions are going to be necessary, I'd almost rather see them scrap the 2020 season entirely, and just try again in 2021.
Something like that would probably just be way to complicated at this point. It would require hiring a mostly new staff who can do animation, on top of all of the people who are already doing the live action version.
As for the stuff in the call, I really think for the show with a lot of action and fight scenes it might better off just waiting until all of these rules and limitations are going to be phased out. I just can't see these kind of shows working when the can't do any fight scenes or things like that.
Some of the regular dramas and sitcoms can probably make it work, but not stuff like the Arrowverse shows.
Candice Patton is on her second episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? tonight.

Unless they do it as CGI animation. They already have digital models of most of the characters for action scenes, and a lot of sequences are already all-digital or nearly so, like the climactic action in last night's Supergirl. There was even dialogue spoken by all-CG characters in that sequence.
OK, I guess the animation idea isn't as bad as I thought, that is exactly what they are doing for the season finale of The Blacklist. It will be a combination of what live action footage they shot before the lockdown, and then "graphic novel style animation" for the stuff they didn't get filmed. The voice recording and editing all being done from home.
The Flash's reserves of speed force seems a bit inconsistent and plot dependent. I mean, we keep seeing the watch turn red indicating that he is using up too much speed force, sometimes we see him barely even be able to move at super speed at all, he did nothing when Godspeed first showed up, but in the climax of the episode, he was able to run at supersonic speed across several city blocks. Just how much speed force does Barry still have?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's very inconsistent.
Another issue just occurred to me -- why is Iris's hair still straight? If she's been trapped in the Mirror World for five weeks, shouldn't her hair be reverting to its natural curliness by now? Or has she been going to some abandoned Mirror World hair salon between episodes? You'd think she'd have other priorities than hairstyling right now. Not to mention that I thought it had been reported a while back that Iris would be reverting to her natural hair sometime this season anyway.
And when Cisco was telling Barry they should call ARGUS or someone to help them fight Godspeed, why didn't he suggest contacting Supergirl? They're on the same Earth now. This is what I was afraid would happen -- the individual shows are just ignoring the potential of the merged Earth and carrying on with their separate stories as if it didn't happen, except in those few cases where it's convenient to attribute some plot point of their own to Crisis. It's very sloppy.
Meanwhile, I feel like I've been missing scenes involving Frost. Last week she decided she had to contact Caitlin's mother for help, this week the help has already happened and suddenly Frost is talking about having to go away for some time, as if that were something already established.
I was expecting the watch to turn green at the end of last week's episode (indicating that the healing was the result of the new speed force working).
She probably has a hair straightener at her Mirror World home. Though, it's a little unclear if the Mirror World contains a reflection of everything from the real world. For instance, are there any living creatures in the Mirror World (plants, animals, etc.)? If not, what do they do for food? Or do they not need food (and also not need to straighten their hair because they are in some sort of stasis)?

How much speed Barry has has definitely been a inconsistent.
Other than that, I though this episode was another improvement, the stuff with Hartley and his boyfriend was pretty good, and team Flash helping them was a nice way to help them work through how they are dealing with Iris and Kamila being trapped in the Mirror World.
Godspeed is definitely one of the more interesting Speedster villains we've gotten, and I can't help but wonder if his/their ability to siphon speed is going to come into play in creating the new Speed Force.
I had forgotten Danielle Panabaker was pregnant, but I figured it out when I noticed that the pillow was blocking her stomach and she was only being shown from the shoulders up. She's also only been laying down or sitting on the couch in the last couple episodes.

Entertainment Weekly has posted an interview with Efrat Dor, the actress who plays Eva McCulloch. We will be getting to see her in the Mirror Master suit in the finale.
It was an ok episode, and considering it ended up being the de facto finale, I won't hold that against it. However, there was only one scene I liked and that was the big fight scene that felt like it was written as a comic book. I just thought that was pretty cool. I wasn't a fan of the Nash telling Barry about the deal though. I mean it was a very tempting offer, and I am a bit bummed they didn't get Iris back in this episode. Unfortunately where they ended it I'm not entirely rushing to find out what happens next.
