I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. How could Barry justify saving Wally's life at the expense of countless others who would suffer as a result of his foolish decision to give up his speed? Why didn't anyone challenge Barry's decision?* Why the hell didn't Barry use his newly acquired speed advantage to

Which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, all things considered. Chuck clearly needs psychological treatment to deal with his acute anxiety symptoms (e.g. therapy, anxiety meds). What makes it all the more tragic is that Saul bends over backwards to accommodate his brother's quirks/insecurities (e.g. sending

Hate to be that guy, but the actual idiom is toe the line.

RIP: Well this is embarassing, it looks like I forgot to scan __________'s biological data into the Waverider's medical database.

Clearly some frustrated writers on the writing staff are trying to throw in a subtle barb against the prison-industrial complex.

It really is a glaring omission, isn't it? Our alleged heroes are absolutely fine denying their captives basic amenities (not to mention their dignity). How hard would it be for the production team to put in a prop toilet and sink in their cells?

There is no god.

My major concern is that they'll abuse this technology from a narrative standpoint. Now that they've introduced this miraculous regeneration technology, they can't ignore it, but if they overuse it they run the risk of deflating any sense of tension when the characters are placed into life-or-death situations.

Can you imagine how awkward it would've been if Snart shot himself in the face with his freeze gun and his head shattered like glass? Then again, Rip probably would have regenerated it or cloned him. Miraculous medical technology really lowers the stakes, doesn't it?

If they explain it away as Timeline drift it would be a pretty big cop-out on their part, especially considering how weak that justification was during this week's episode. It really felt like they were trying to distance themselves from a potentially interesting character-building opportunity. On the whole, though, I

I can understand why they went that route, though. Not only would it have made it extremely difficult for Snart to use his freeze gun (being unable to stabilize it with both hands), it would have restricted the kinds of actions he'd usually able to do while holding said weapon (opening doors, climbing ladders, etc.).

Good catch. I assume they avoided going back in time to save Mick Rory because it would cause a time paradox. Given how fast and loose they've been playing with the rules of time travel, though, they probably could have handwaved it. That said, I think this is an interesting direction to take Mick's character. At the

Same here, but it's kind of hard to avoid when they air it directly before the show. I always skip the post-show teasers for next week, though.

It didn't help that they included Mick Rory's "death scene" in this episode's "previously on" segment. That said, the reveal still caught me by surprise (in a good way). It will be interesting to see how they handle his character moving forward.

Patrick Warburton would've played a fantastic Captain Marvel (Shazam) back in the day.

…THEY CUT ME. IT'S LIKE RIDIN' A WIRE FENCE…

You've hit the nail right on the head, MissBeaHaven. Kids growing up today (hell, people only a few years younger than me) have been conditioned to depend on the internet, social media, and mobile phones to the point where their virtual life becomes more *real* to them than their actual lives. Life flies by them like

The best part: everyone giving Palmer grief for thinking that sending Kendra on a suicide solo mission was a terrible idea. Palmer could have shrunk himself down using his Atom suit, waited until Savage showed up, then up-sized and stabbed the guy with the knife. Failing that, he could've acted as a distraction
