MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

Okay this is a new one for me. "Mirror Master." Even sci-fi, in my opinion, should not go beyond the realm of believability. In my wildest imagination, I can't perceive someone going in and out of reflective surfaces, and traveling through them as well. Of course, there is the question, why couldn't the Flash do that? As a speedster, he should have been able to do it much faster. Or is this a way to cage the speed force.
Tonight's episode of the Flash (10-25-16) just didn't make any sense to me to the point I almost shut it off. Good thing shows have multi-plots. There is Barry's relationship with Iris, Jesse Quick, and what was developing between Wally and her. I do appreciate that they found a way to keep Tom Cavanaugh on the show. He and Jesse L. Martin play my favorite supporting roles.
Also, what's bothering Barry? Don't tell me nothing. He almost always looks like he's preoccupied with something. Is he still pondering how to make the timeline? Let's face it, Dante is dead because of him. Kate is getting frosty because of him. Did the timeline shift also affect Earth 2, and is that how Jesse became a speedster.
This season is creating a lot of questions. I wonder if at least some of them are going to be answered in that 4 parter in December. Are all the timelines going to merge? Gee, I hope not. That could mean Supergirl, Flash and Arrow and the Thursday night crew will all be going after Vandal Savage. Of course, they could create a whole new timeline where Supergirl, Flash and Arrow are in one timeline and the Thursday night crew will be on it's own. With all the timeline shifting on the Flash, we can't discount that Thursday night crew could be constantly changing the timeline. And maybe that's part of the problem with the Flash timeline. He might not be the only one responsible for the shifts in the timeline that Barry has experienced. And maybe this is what the 4 parter will be about at least in part. I'm sure there are other issues.
Timeline shifting is believable. But traveling through reflective surfaces like the Mirror Master just isn't, at least not to me.
That's my take. What's your's?
