Fair point.

Nope. Wells is from a different timeline, this timeline's Eddie dying won't erase him. But he needs him alive to ensure that the future of this timeline is as close to Wells' original as possible.

Well, when we saw Letscher's Thawne, Gideon said it was the latest of Thawne's battles with the Flash. Battles that to our Barry haven't happened yet, but to Thawne have. We'll get Letscher back to see those fights later.

My hope: He's depowered, and we get to see him pull a Hannibal Lector from inside the reactor cells. And then get Matt Letscher back to play the earliest version of Thawne going to fight Barry.

Come on, Papa Midnite is better than Agents of SHIELD's HYDRA (although the film HYDRA is better). Michael James Shaw's Midnite is great.

The comments next week are going to be glorious.

Hey now, having binged Daredevil, I can safely say that Foggy and Matt are like Sam and Jon Snow. Just…not at the Wall.

Eddie is just so darn friendly. It's like Wells, Barry can't help but like him.

"That's what I said now, princes, princes who adore you."

Cisco?

Did you just suddenly turn into Black Adam after typing that?

Seriously. I'm sure Mad Men or some other "quality" show will get all of the Emmy nominations, but Tom Cavanagh is incredible. This entire episode was just a tour de force from him. Such a brilliant performance. The producers better submit that to the Emmys.

Best bit is that it's clear this is Terminator-style time travel with multiple parallel timelines, not Lost whatever happened happened style.

I love Barrowman, but Merlyn's way more "a likable Norman Osborne" than the Arthur King of the comics.

Exactly. And it just killed the pacing so much.

Someone coined it on reddit I think, and I've seen it there and here multiple times. Thought it was just a common fan nickname.

That would be great. If season 2 is Fisk mostly locked up with Vanessa going full Lady Macbeth and hiring Bullseye, I'd love it.

Killing Ben was the mistake. Sucked the momentum out of the episode and they had to struggle to get that going, then rush to the climactic fight.

At least Matt learned: Aim for the head.

Yeah…I was bummed out by that. Narrow space, no real theatrics. Wasn't as brutal or dramatic as I expected.
