I didn't care for this one. I'm so sick of the stereotype that more intellect equals less emotion. Not only is it a really, really hackneyed and lazy cliche that's been overused for decades, but it's simply not how the mind works, and it's a hurtful stereotype of gifted and neurodivergent people. Being smart doesn't make you care less about other people and their feelings. I've always thought it makes you care more, because it makes it easier to imagine other people's points of view and understand their needs. If you look at the world around us, you find that the people who have the least compassion -- e.g. people who embrace bigotry or refuse to wear masks or get vaccinated to protect others -- are generally not all that smart.
They tried to handwave it as a side effect of the Artificial Speed Force rather than an automatic consequence of superior intellect, but it still hit all the lazy, cookie-cutter beats of the cliche, right down to the really stupid trope that supergeniuses would somehow forget how to use contractions. How is it intelligent to avoid contractions? It just wastes time and energy.
Speedster Frost vs. the Flash was cool, though. As was seeing the shrine to lost heroes that was implicitly the beginning of the Flash Museum. Although I didn't get the bit about the names being nano-etched so they'd survive timeline shifts. That doesn't make sense. If the timeline changes so they never existed, nobody would've etched their names there in the first place.
