No, Killer Frost had a reason — Zoom had only kept her alive because she looked like Earth-1's Caitlin Snow. Now that he had Caitlin, he had no reason to keep Frost around. Her plan was to kill Caitlin so that Zoom would continue keeping her around.

All that time Jay was hanging out at STAR Labs, he did plenty of advanced ~Science!~ with the team. So I guess the backstory is that the crazed serial killer got super powers and then decided to use his new lease on life to get an education? OK, I guess…

They should have found Robin and sent him and the baby off with Ruby and Snow. If his only job is going to be taking care of the child, what's the sense in having him do that out in the woods in the Underworld?

The chip's been passed down through Natblida all this time and nothing's come of it, so I don't see how getting chip 2.0 to Luna could help. My guess is that they have to install the chip in someone connected to the City of Light allowing Allie2 to overtake Allie. Maybe that will include a crazy battle sequence with

I don't think she saw it as betrayal. She probably figured that a handful of dissidents didn't stand a chance against Pike and the might of Arkadia, so she went for a plea deal — Monty gets clemency for his "crimes" in exchange for (unwittingly) leading Pike to Kane and the others. Remember, she didn't think of Pike

I just find it odd that Allie/Raven couldn't have figured out the plan earlier. I mean, it was Raven's plan to start.

I thought the Superman fakeout was hilarious. Had lots of problms with other stuff though.

The criticism about the bodyguard's sudden change of heart and hanging isn't unfair, but I chalked it up to being a parallel to Judas. The coins may not have been silver, but the allusion was still far from subtle.

"Matt says he didn’t ask for the name “The Devil Of Hell’s Kitchen,” but what did he expect when he started beating people up dressed as a devil?"

I can believe Thawne-as-Wells accepting Barry's explanation that he won. Thawne is an evil genius, certainly, but he's also arrogant enough to take Barry's story at face value rather than consider that he might have loss. There might be an element of denial here. Before Barry interjected, Thawne was putting the

Interesting perspective that Stacey is scheming as she takes advantage of Mike. My interpretation was that she genuinely (and mistakenly) believed she and Kaylee were in danger in their old neighbourhood, with the false gunshot as a sign of paranoia or something. I'm not sure what to think of it now.

I still don't understand how the Flash is fast enough to time-travel but not fast enough to easily jump those distances.

It makes zero sense to me that Shield didn't have Talbot call up all the delegates afterward to warn them that, "hey, Gideon Malick is the REAL head of Hydra and I only played along with him because he was holding my son ransom". That leverage is gone now, so why are they still letting Malick get away with all this?

Whoa, I had not realized that Zoe and Abby were played by the same actress. Mind blown.

Definitely the best episode so far. Nitpicks though — it seems like a serious design flaw that there isn't an emergency override to open those bulkhead doors. And it seems like an advanced AI should be smart enough not to pilot the jump ship full of pirates straight back to the Waverider. Or if the pirates followed

I'm not sure that's true. They went at night, after all. And they all knew from the start that the grounders would resist, so even if they hoped that violence wouldn't be needed, they weren't banking on that. They planned to fight.

Pike, Hannah and the rest of the Farm Station crew are so frustrating to me. They justified the massacre of allied grounders by painting them as bloodthirsty savages who will turn on Sky Crew. In response, those same grounders show major restraint by offering peace instead of retaliation. So Pike responds by once

I'm the pretty sure that the mobster's victim was a bodyguard/goon, not just a passerby.

I thought it was infected snow at first, but the context makes me think that it was an Ice Nation attack, pure and simple. The children were playing in the snow, in which Ice Nation warriors were hiding. They were attacked and Monty's father risked his life to save the kids, falling as he went for the fifth.

I understand the technical necessity, but I still found it weird that the White Martian would default to the senator's form so often. When it was outed at the DEO, why stick to the disguise? Why not revert to its actual form, or disguise itself as various DEO soldiers? But the most jarring instance was in the final
