Okay, Flash.

It's really annoying that everybody with a penis thinks they have a right to control Iris' actions. However, what really gets me is that they don't just talk to Iris about their concerns - no, they freaking triangulate, every time. "Barry, tell Iris to stay home!" "Joe, back me up when I tell Iris to stay home!"

Joe's the same guy who keeps lying to his loved ones "for their own good" and trying to coerce everybody else into lying to them too.

I really wish the writers would take this seriously and tackle the amazing dysfunction that is the West family's approach to interpersonal problems. (Also? Barry/Iris is incest. There. I said it.)

You say that like it's a bad thing. :)

Good or bad, it's weird that nobody on the show acknowledges it. FFS, Joe refers to Barry as his son, and he's the biggest Iris/Barry shipper around, and it is weird.
