On HR's absence: I recently saw a Youtube video from before this episode came out that pointed out that HR knew where Gypsy was because a "magician friend" told him how to put a tracker on her. Hmmm…

Can I just say that I love that the actor who plays Abra Kadabra has had roles in 4 comic book universes (Nolanverse, Gotham, Arrowverse, *and* MCU)? I wonder how long it takes to for someone to make a fan theory out of this?

Well then he must be playing an incredibly long con, since he was the PR figurehead of his Star Labs (or equivalent) on Earth-19 and was recognized by Gypsy when she came to Earth-1 to track him down. (And as far as they've established, time travel shenanigans in one universe don't spill over to others, IIRC when…

There's part of me that thinks that if S2 and S3 were a single, long, 30-episode (ish) season (or even two halves of one season, with more filler cut out; seriously, the King Shark episode didn't add much other than the partial reveal about Jay/Zoom), with Barry's arc being that he has to learn (as the Speed Force has…

Though to be fair, I wouldn't want to be around when Gypsy's in town if I were him, deal with Cisco or not.

Part of me wonders about her "partner," though maybe H.R. would have noticed?

"Where the sexes are reversed" except Wells?

They explained that he has vibe-blocking tech, that's why they had to use other means of tracking him down.

Does she count as a speedster for purposes of being able to see Savitar at all?

"If Thawne made this world to punish us, why are your mom's sandwiches so good?"

Probably. But where's the fun in that answer?

How come Barry's activities created Flashpoint, but theirs don't create a new Flashpoint-like event every episode (other than the daughter)?

Yeah, the rules of time travel in the Arrowverse are a mess. But I see it like this:

I guess I meant that one would at least think that because his effects on the timeline persisted, you'd think that the Time Masters/Gideon would at least know who he was. The way I recall that scene, it was as if because of Eddie, any traces of Thawne had been erased from history other than this lingering…

They haven't. My hypothesis is that version from the beginning of Flash S3 is the time remnant from Season 2, who plays out his timeline as edited by Flashpoint. This version isn't a proper time remnant, but a sort of time ghost or reverse aberration who survived Eddie's suicide because of Speed Force mumbo jumbo…

Yeah, they've never really explained which one this is supposed to be. Of course, the time travel rules in the Arrowverse (and Legends in particular) are very fluid. (Like, if Rip and the Legion can use aberrations as bait for the Legends to return the timeline to normal, why can't the team travel back a few hours or…

I guess my problem was that there are a number of scenarios where the jealousy might make sense (old fling/crush/"what if" that's still got it, if Mon-El were more clearly in the dark about whether the feelings were reciprocated because he was more peripheral to the direct interactions between Kara and Mxy and didn't…

One of the interesting things about "Scrubs" was that Carla/Turk got together fairly early on (and Dr. Cox and Jordan reconciled in their own way early on too) and (most of) the relationship conflict/drama was in the context of relationship issues that people experience in the course of time together, not in the…

You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!

I thought it was supposed to be public knowledge that Supergirl is Kara Zor-El, and that this was part of the comedy of Cat always mispronouncing her name since anyone with that kind of up-close familiarity with both should have put two and two together (for longer than they depicted Cat as having done). (Also, at…
