Kudos to the show (though they were a bit heavy handed with it this time) for calling attention to the kinds of historical figures that are marginalized in our history books. Allison, if it's any consolation, the Lone Ranger wasn't based off of Bass Reeves. If we go to Wikipedia like the show's writers probably did,…

I didn't see this. Sorry.

"THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS!!"

I love Captain Holt's husband as The Judge and it makes me very excited for who they are going to cast in the Mindy St. Clair role.

Jason and Janet are the best. There was a lot tonight, but my personal favorite was,
"I now hate things. So far it's genocide and leggings as pants." I can see why Jason married her.

The best shouting of this episode had to be
HELLO! MY NAME IS HITCHCOCK!!

This Week in Andre Braugher Got Robbed at the Emmy’s
There’s just too much. These were easily the best episodes of the season. Fuck it. EMMY'S FOR EVERYONE!!!

This Week in Andre Braugher Got Robbed at the Emmy's
Rosa: Where did you grow up?
Holt: Where were you born?
Rosa: What are you miming there sir?
Holt: A child tying his tie. I'm trying to do a simple half Windsor knot so she knows I'm a baby. Look at this. See how basic this knot is?

This week was weird. I got wished a Happy Pearl Harbor Day. Someone should explain what Pearl Harbor is to that cashier. It ended with me getting so sick my friend's mom gave me her pill she takes to stop nausea after chemo. The fact it didn't work is a weird source of pride for me.

Sara's fight choreography is always awesome. The fight between her and Merlyn was amazing. Also, I don't know if it's just really good sound editing, but that drop down in the library was really stealthy. Also, Merlyn said "boy or girl," which means at least for now, the studio is losing their fight…

I never said it'd get there in a flash. Voyager left the solar system about a decade ago. That'd probably be OK or at least better than "sure toss it in the speed force!"

Bary: What if we throw the box into the speed force?
Cisco: Counter proposal, what if we call our friend who can fly into space or call our friends with a spaceship or call our sexy AF POTUS who has rockets and just launch the thing into the Sun?
Barry: NO! Speed force.

Hey Barry, sorry I murdered your Mom. Here, have my stuff. Also you're going to need to settle twelve class action suits, pay some property taxes on a giant building and settle some tax liens.

This is your brain. This is your brain on the speed force.

Iris: (offscreen) …now tell him to "run, Barry, run."
Oliver: No. How does that even..? Why did I agree to wear this earpiece?

Barry: I just talked to the President, which would be cool if it were under other circumstances.

Also, it's superficial but the bridesmaid dress was on point. I don't even know if it is technically a dress, but it looks fantastic on Thea (and Sara).

"We don't want to introduce labels," means "We want a bisexual character without having to acknowledge the character as bisexual."

It's "Umm…I have a boyfriend" taken to the next level.

There's a Russell T. Davies quote I am having trouble finding about male bisexual characters and how they always end up being written as gay men. I'm guessing that phenomenon may not be gender specific (anymore).
