But a universe where Sunny ended after S9 is a universe where we don’t get to hear Dennis’ spot-on CCH Pounder impression, and I’m not sure that’s a universe I’d want to live in.

I think it’s implied that Thawne went back multiple times and caused some sort of ripple effect, but as is usually the case with this show, they don’t bother to actually explain anything, leaving us to speculate.

The show has multiple Noras, now including Damian’s daughter Nora being a key plot element in the show. Why not two Ryans too I guess 

Thawne may be evil, but I never thought he was a monster until he put Mark on the team.

During the initial fight, they made this big deal of Batwoman leaping in the air and surprising Barry, but it was for an ordinary punch instead of some kind of shock punch or something, which felt anticlimactic.

In Dahrk’s case it makes sense, though; his great vulnerability has always been his devotion to Nora. And unlike 90 percent of the characters in this universe, he’s always been self-aware of who and what he is. 

There’s a great reason why he looks like Harrison Wells in this timeline: because the Flash finds it creepy! He’s been wearing Wells’ face for twenty years just so that when Flash turned up, he’d be weirded out. Whereas using his own face wouldn’t have much emotional weight, since the Flash doesn’t have any…

As someone whose DC Universe was back in the sixties, it was great to see Ryan Choi’s Atom suit. It really brought me back. And for the craziness of this episode, I was also reminded of the old “imaginary” stories from that time where crazy things happened like Superman and Lois are married and have kids. Certainly…

“It might have been fun to play this out a little more and get into the dynamics of this version of Team Flash, but instead many precious minutes are devoted to pushing Chester and Allegra toward the romance the regular timeline has been hinting at since last season. Why should we care if this soon-to-be-nonexistent…

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! The opening scene felt like a Silver Age comic cover come to life. The entire plot was nonsense, but it was the brand of nonsense I embrace, full of handwavium devices, dubious time-travel logic and hero/villain team-ups.

The Ryan/Sophie thing had me thinking that of course they’re going to adopt. And they’re going to find a kid whose parents were murdered and bingo! new Robin. I mean, what else would they do?

“-the whole Ryan/Sophie thing seems like a huge commitment/tease to make for Batwoman?”

Look, I’ll never complain about Tom Cavanagh showing up. S2 Harry is always and forever my fave character on this dumb show. But do the writers remember that that’s not actually what Eobard Thawne looks like? Eobard Thawne-who-looks-like-himself is Matt Letscher. There’s no reason for this Thawne to look like Harrison…

This show needs to stop with all of the scenes of characters lecturing other characters about love. First you have Ryan Choi, who is barely an established character in the Arrowverse yet talks as if we’ve known him for years. Then you have Dahrk who does the quickest about-face from villainy to encouraging pal ever.

Future Thawne-as-Barry put together a hell of a cool team. Well, except for Chillblaine. It would have been really gratifying if future Damian Darhk had murdered him 

One of the main things that The Flash is based on is Barry and Iris’ relationship. That’s great, but after six seasons they’ve done most of the mining that they can on it. Now they’re trying to replicate it to bring in new opportunities for storylines, and that’s not great. Chester and Allegra don’t have that spark…

- God, that opening scene was so freaking perfect. Loved every second of it.

I absolutely adore that it was Legends most, well, legendary storyline that turned the tide for Barry. Beebo bless Damian Dahrk. Honestly it justifies the entire exercise.  It would’ve been fun to have spent a little more time with the altered future, but I suppose actor availability played a role there.
