Well, the Flash’s Moral Of the Week this week was “it’s OK to want to do good and save the lives of your loved ones... but there’s no point doing that if you don’t Be True to Yourself and always do what YOU want to do at every fucking moment, the rest of humanity be damned!”... so yeah, the “just never stop being…

The wet Hall-of-Justice floor makes it look scuzzy - like the roof leaks. But, maybe that’s the point.

I don’t mind the Astra-Behrad thing being a slow burn, but I do think it has lost  some possible momentum that it had after their engagement in the episode where they were trapped on TV. I think it could still work though even if its most interesting aspect might be that Zari 2.0 objects to it as she thinks Astra is a…

As soon as you saw the conveyor belt and heard the instructions to put a washer on each bolt, you knew exactly what was coming. Did not disappoint.

I was convinced Nate was going the way of Martin Stein during those final minutes.

Barry brought back Cold before he became a Legend. Wanna say during Season 4?

Ava getting stuck in an I Love Lucy situation was pretty great. I thought this episode was really solid all around, it handled the issues deftly. 

It belatedly occurs to me that I related strongly to Astra & a lot of this is because she grew up in hell & perhaps my childhood was also not the best

(Still working out what Gary’s all about on the latter front, but this particular pursuit of knowledge has been fun.)

Yeah, it feels like that thing that US network shows love to do: use the early few episodes (and the finales) to show us how interesting the show could be if they messed with the formula, while they think they have people’s attention, then immediately revert to the fixed formula for plot-of-the-week episodes for the…

I realize the logistics of it make it difficult (if not impossible), especially with characters from shows that have ended, but this is what I wish every Arrowverse episode was like; small pop ups here and there just to acknowledge everyone does actually talk to each other more than once a year.

It seemed pretty obvious that Barry was getting gaslighted (gaslit?) in this episode - the overly dramatic reactions to him just seemed off all-around.

Not really that big of a deal to me to lose Star Labs. Feel kind of like the knights deciding it was okay not to go to Camelot in Monty Python & the Holy Grail. “It’s a silly place.”

Well, they’re sticking with Barry’s perspective including “lost time” and all, which helps build paranoia. It’s effective so far.

- Just to note, the closed captioning spelled it “Xotar.”

The Gideon Bishop has is a backup of our Gideon he stole when he was hanging out with the Legends last season that he reset back to the factory defaults so now she’s laser focused on keeping the timeline not screwed up (even for the better).

Shameless shipping post:

I don’t think promoting someone who was with you when you only had three employees over new hires counts as cronyism. They may have more experience in general, but she has more experience at the Citizen.

There are 5 Noras

Barry’s mother

I thought about that briefly too, but I think it’s more likely that his self-pity party was making her feel bad by proxy, which made him feel bad, which made her feel worse, etc.
