Seriously. Of all the things about this episode the Wally storyline drove me the craziest. All of this traditional family values bs is just beyond me. Like, I DIDN'T HAVE A MAN IN THE HOUSE SO NOW I'M FUCKED UP. Seriously? Fuck that narrative. And, obviously, as tons of people have pointed out Joe had no idea HE EVEN…

Loved this premiere, for all the reasons the reviewer describes. I even liked that fucking Shawn Mendes song they threw in there, against my better judgment. My only criticism is Jasper, not his condition, but the fact that everyone seems to be kind of hand waving his crazy behavior away. I mean they are concerned,…

I'm sorry but Joe West's tearful speech about not being there for his son was some conservative family values bullshit. "I wasn't there to teach him how to throw a baseball." "I wasn't there to teach him how to be a man." Srsly? F that shit.

Thank God somebody mentioned this. I was all WTF Patty??? This dude is carrying a syringe! Also, you are like 10 feet from him, how do you not see it is a syringe?!?? I was initially pretty impressed with Patty when she told the crazy shark thing to freeze instead of shooting him immediately a few episodes ago, but…

That "daaaaaaaaaamn!" fade into commercial was a fucking triumph. I literally might re-watch the episode just for that moment.

Fair point! That doesn't make it any less stupid and reckless though. lol.

Right, fair point. I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt, comic book style (i.e. crazy insane collatral damage but WHATDOYAKNOW no fatalaties). But you're right, realistically a ton of people died.

lol. thank you for that clarification.

I actually just started watching this show and it seems to have really improved from season 1 (skipped season 2 entirely). So I'm excited! Having said that:

Although generally I agree that the whole "I HAVE TO KEEP MY FRIENDS AT A DISTANCE TO SAVE THEM" trope is super overdone, it annoyed me a little less in this episode because Barry DID actually fuck up royally in a way that got people killed. He chose to risk the fate of the entire universe basically just to save his…

Thank GOD! I had to scroll down pages and pages of comments but I finally found someone making this point. All I could think while I was watching this episode was, WTF these people are idiot monsters! Not only did they condemn dozens if not hundreds of people to a horrifying death, but they put the people they came to…

I'm intrigued by your explanation, but I have to say I still don't understand how it explains why torture is helpful when someone is willing to tell everything they know. The corroboration you mention, for example, can be done with or without torture. And as for analyzing aaaaall the information, relevant and…

I have to say that even though I thought this was generally a good, well written episode, the fact that Barry was straight up told opening a wormhole could, you know, end all existence, and he STILL DID IT is totally insane. No amount of "You can do it Barry!"s makes taking that kind of risk to save a member of one's…

I think the woman at the end might be the woman who Oliver's mother paid off to leave town and tell Oliver that she had a miscarriage. Although I don't really remember what she looked like I'm mostly thinking this is the case because she talks to some kid on the phone after speaking to Oliver.
