Listen, Caitlin wanting to kill Thawne was the most interesting she’s been in years.

How many seasons before we see or even hear mention of Ryan Choi again? Or the Hall of Justice?

I agree that the content of Joe’s lecture was stupid, but Jesse L. Martin brought the dad voice and I loved it! It seems like they tried to make up for not having him in four episodes by letting him shine this week. They are almost forgiven.

Nora still had her trademark light blue jacket, which was her nod to the fairy godmother blue dress, so I assume she still is. I like to tell myself the color choice is because fairy godmothers are all Man City fans, but I’m a little biased.

I thought somehow the cabin in the woods was gone after Crisis. Post-crisis Mia lives in the Queen mansion with her alive again grandmother.

Joe’s angry speech to Iris and Barry reminded me of the heroes’ strategy meeting during Supergirl’s Season 3 finale (the Reign/Worldkillers arc).  The context is different in that the villains’ enforcer is not depowered or in custody and the entire Earth is under threat.  Still, when one character talks about…

Felicity is currently raising Mia in a cabin in the woods.

I thought Nora’s “Why does this keep happening line” after she sees Damian was a nice enough acknowledgement that they keep going back to that well.

Damien Darhk showing up at the beginning of the episode I found to be absolutely delightful. Also some Nora, that was nice too. 

2021 Felicity is still around right?

I’m generally fine with the mix they got, it felt like Black Lightning’s role was written specifically for the character but the rest were somewhat interchangeable roles. Possibly Routh and Ford were negotiated as a package deal for them to come up and film the Legends 100th episode as well. Given two of the…

Yeah, given Mia seems to be “passing through” in this episode it makes me wonder if there’s some general plan about tying up her arc at some point on one of the shows. Given she’s now in the present and time travel is involved, it seems to open the doors to her appearing on any show in the future.

To be fair, Harry was just wandering around STAR Labs unimpeded at the time, and Joe had every reason to think he was Thawne about to make another attack. Here, Thawne was safely imprisoned and not an immediate threat. As a not-real TV cop, that probably fits the rules of engagement based on Joe’s police training.…

The “Mia Queen shows up on a quest of her own” aspect of the episode reminded me of the experience of reading comics crossovers. They always wanted you to pick up one issue of a title you don’t read just so you could have “the full story,” whether or not the hero of that book was currently in part 3 of their own…

Maybe Mia will finally find William on a crossover episode of Legends of Tomorrow, since his abduction apparently involved time travel? I will be pissed off if we don’t get payoff of that though, especially since William was the best character and actor from the Green Arrow & the Canaries spinoff that didn’t happen 

Remember back in S2 when Harry showed up from Earth-2 and Joe walked in and just started firing bullets without waiting for any explanation?

Iris continues to be insufferable, giving Mia a speech about how killing is never justified, even to save a loved one.

Which is an interesting moral stance from the woman who killed Savitar back in The Flash season 3 finale.

Among this, Rick & Morty, and the MCU, multiverse fiction is in. Now is the perfect time for a Sliders reboot!

I feel that Dustin Hoffman’s absolutely spectacular performance as Captain Hook should not go unmentioned.

My favorite part: “I lost my marbles.” He finds his marbles.
