I’m just going to take a moment to congratulate myself on guessing this was what the show was going to do. I don’t know if it’s the correct decision, but I get why they’re doing it.

Dries talked about that in an interview with Variety. They wanted to create some space between Rose and Day. Certainly i don’t think they could’ve done Alice’s story arc with kate as an active presence in the world.  Whether or not that’s a valid justification is an exercise left up to the reader.

amusingly, Black Lightning did just recast Jen.

Okay yes, the Power of Love being what saved Central City’s life was goofy as all fuck(a mysterious thing y’know). But, I contend, it’s the kind of goofy nonsense that I want from my comic book media.

True enough, however the whole reason the Speedforce died is because Barry brought the Spectre into it.  So it would stand to reason that the Spectre would be involved in its restoration.  And since Amell isn’t coming back anytime soon, if ever, why not have a Wells take up the mantle?

The thought just occurred to me because of the green energy, is he the Spectre?

The kid playing Johnathan is 100% the MVP of the show so far. His reaction faces — like when Lana and Sarah have it out in the diner — are so damn good.

I did love that even with super-speed thinking Barry is still a colossal dumbass. And Caitlin’s reactions to Barry’s brain going super saiyen? So, so very good.

obligatory, omg, Captain Luthor is from the Synderverse!

Barry trying to get the JV squad to correctly pronounce Sherloque is going to be a tough moment for the rest of the series to beat.

yes, yes, i am a dumbass.

I’m going to guess given the current state of things we won’t see Kara at all this first season, but if the world gets closer back to normal maybe next season if Benoist is willing? 

Lana’s a loan officer, that means she’s automatically sus (that’s what the kids say these days right?).

First of all, so help me show, I know you’re on the CW, but please resist the temptation to do the CW thing and have a love triangle between Jon, Jordan and Sarah, just for once do that for me please? And while we’re at it, it would be cool if Jordan doesn’t throw a hissy fit over Jon getting powers, but that feels…

I think it’s pretty obvious that “Captain Luthor” is from an alternate dimension destroyed in Crisis, who scienced a way out of the whole “people from alternate dimensions can’t live for long on the current Earth Prime.”

They already recreated that Crisis cover way back in Hoechlin’s first appearance as Clark.

And even if she didn’t come back to earth before Endgame, there’s no reason to assume that she didn’t spend some time there during the five year time skip in Endgame.  

Yeah, Alice’s plan was legit good for a crazy-pants revenge plot on a CW comic book show.  

Maybe, but this was just...a car.  It was like something you’d expect from a rejected reboot of Knight Rider, only without the cylon eye in the hood.

Mary status: still the absolute best.
