And the water's not all bad, either. As we say in Springfield, "If it's brown, drink it down. If it's black, send it back."

It's more a Pet Sematary ripoff than anything.

Well, it looks like we're finally going to get a followup this season on the whole HIVE-had-his-brother-killed thing. So there's that.

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts
Please remember, it's just a show
You should really just relax

My guess is that, as a STAR Labs employee, anything Cisco designs is technically the property of STAR Labs, so he doesn't get any compensation for the stuff he builds beyond his base salary.

How do you think she REALLY got all those interns to work for free?

I'm waiting for the episode where it's revealed Barry's dad was part of a prison gang, and now that he's free he's expected to work for them from the outside, and he doesn't want to do that in the town where his son, the superhero, is likely to find out about it.
That's the only thing I can think of that makes sense.

I never had the problem with his first season work that some people have. Yes, he was often very stiff, but that seemed fitting given that Oliver had spent a long time away from human company and obviously had some PTSD going on.

"Damon/Alaric/Bonnie are amazing. Please make this show only about them. Preferably solving supernatural mysteries."

Who's paying Matt now, anyway? As Enzo pointed out, Mystic Falls doesn't exactly have a lot of taxpayers left.

We know Sebastian became a zombie because he licked up some of Liv's blood, so I'm guessing other bodily fluids would have the same effect.

Not necessarily. Blaine may miss food too much to go back to zombiedom.

Something kinda interesting about this season is how they're dealing with the fact that, after three years of supervillain attacks, people are just picking up and moving out of Star City en masse. Proving that people from Star City are smarter than people from Gotham.

Minor quibble: whose bedroom were Major and Gilda in at the start of the episode? We know they weren't at Major's place, and since Gilda is roommates with Liv, going back to her place seems . . . complicated.

In almost any show where the main character has a big secret they have to keep, characters who are close to them but are completely in the dark about the secret are almost invariably uninteresting. But then, as soon as they find out the secret (or embark on the process of finding out, like Major did last season) they…

That's wack!

That guy's eyes . . . they're EVIL, I tells ya!

To be fair, they introduced the Lazarus Pit last season, something that in the comics, and in legends within the show, can bring the dead back to life. And currently it's controlled by someone who's sorta friendly with our main cast. They kinda HAVE to try using it at some point.

Y'know, with the superspeed factor, it might be interesting to see Barry put in the old "two dates at once" stock plot.

Remember, while Gideon SAID it would obey Barry's orders, we later found out that Wells/Eobard knew full well about Barry finding Gideon, and that this was all part of his convoluted plan. It's possible that Wells/Eobard simply told Gideon to say that, when actually it will only obey Wells's/Eobard's orders.
