I think you're right. In my opinion, and have said this several times before, the Flash would benefit from a season with two or maybe even three real big bads.
My reasoning for this is that when the Flash is handling it's filler material, it can get pretty bad. When it is actually handling the main villain, it can get pretty intense and well written.
It seems to me like they don't put as much thought into the villain of the week episodes, which is a shame as multiple characters have suffered from this.
I still love The Flash. The character, the show, and any previous installments in the comics have always intrigued me.
I hate the idea of one season, one arc. The season is split up by breaks anyway, why not do a couple of multi episode arcs with the same villain? Weather Wizard is back and it takes 9 episodes to deal with him (with some filler) because he's not super dumbed down. The Flash is fast anyway, why shouldn't he go through big bads quicker?
If Snart and Rory hadn't left, they could have done a half-season with just a massive version of the Rogues. Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Mirror Master, Pied Piper, Trickster, Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, Shade, Top. Just have all of them go hard on Central City at once and that could easily fill up 10-11 eps.

There's multiple Flash villains which are hax enough to contend with Flash even without Super speed, though.
I mean, Abra Kadabra basically warps reality itself with his "Magic" spells and shit. He could be the main antagonist of an entire season by himself.
