“Do… people just walk into your secret base of operations?”

I'm about to unleash my extremely geeky side, so apologies in advance, but it was actually the Jedi line that rang a little false in my ears. Because even though it was an (almost) Jedi who came up with the cable strategy, he wasn't able to use it himself because his speeder was shot down. And it wasn't an overly

The show has directly referenced Fringe before through Cisco, so I'm pretty sure it was deliberate on the part of the writers.

Me too. The fact that Cisco let him stay there shows they've made tentative steps towards reparation, but between Barry's over-eagerness to do stuff for Cisco, and Cisco's awkward refusals, it shows they still have a ways to go.

I took the inconsistencies as a consequence of him being in denial about his bitterness and jealousy. Once he was forced to confront his (almost) actions, he finally admitted his pettiness and insecurities to himself as well as Barry, thus clearing his mind of his irrational prejudices.

Barry point blank offered to share what their Flashpoint lives were like if they wanted him to, and all of them (including Wally) collectively decided they didn't want to know, so…

I know; Lockhart is mostly remembered as a bumbling, incompetent, comical character, but at the end of the day he was a truly despicable person who deserved his fate. So I hope HR is exactly as you said - exploitive but with a heart of gold.

I agree completely. Wonderful to see Caitlin start such a full and compelling arc. And I really like how much exploring we got of Julian's worst and best traits. We learned that he has a few chips on his shoulders that foster out-of-proportion resentments but that he also truly wants to do good and has a hard time

Iris's disgusted glare at him kind of made me want to reflexively shy backwards - she was NOT impressed.

It feels obvious that it's the doppelganger of someone we know since the only thing he said was that his partner was a "he." I'm going to theorize Stein-19, but I really want it to be Ronnie-19 (the beautiful melancholy theme of Ronnie's Firestorm playing as Caitlin talked about him made me miss him all over again).

So this could be because Tom Felton's presence is making me see things through Potter glasses, but HR basically came across as a less pompous and cowardly Gilderoy Lockhart

Murder on the Titanic:

I really want Cisco and Barry as roommates to become permanent.

THANK YOU.
I know in theory that I'm not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes it seems like I am. I have my hopeless romantic moments and ships I will go down with, but I am equally as fond of seeing any manner of close relationships develop, whether it be familial, friendship, or romantic. It frustrates me so much

I'm pretty sure J'onn said 5'2" sidekick just to incite Winn's admission, and it was hilarious.

It's only Mon-El's second episode of consciousness, and I'm already fully in support of his two burgeoning relationships with established characters: 1.) His bromance with Winn (please please please let that be a continuing friendship and not one that just shows up whenever the writers remember it), and 2.) His

That's exactly how I interpreted the purpose of Mon-El's flashback - the prince survived, completely blames Krypton for what happened to his planet, and hates all Kryptonians beyond reason, dividing Mon-El's loyalties…

The amount of disdain Maze injected into the "President of Mars. Duh" was incredible. Her unlikely friendship with Trixie would probably keep me watching even if the rest of the show completely tanked. It's truly fantastic.

Thanks to the last line in this article, I will now have "Not Dead Yet" from Spamalot stuck in my head for the rest of the night. Doesn't exactly feel inappropriate for Halloween though.

*adjusts (actual) glasses* Rose Red is actually not at all connected to the Snow White of Seven Dwarves fame - she comes from another fairytale called "Snow White and Rose Red" in which her sister is an entirely different girl who just so happens to be to have a name that English translated as Snow White, even though
