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…

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

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

He would never say such a thing unless Cox is already under contract. Otherwise that amounts to Feige saying, if Cox isn’t on board we’re never doing Daredevil, which is absurd.

Read that as Charlie Day for a second. 

Speaking of Silver Age Covers they made a reference to this one

I could’ve gone for a whole episode on the League figuring out the protocols, too. Some Stray Thoughts:

Counterpoint: No WandaVision theory ever made sense, people were looking for things that weren’t there, reading into things that either didn’t have anything to read into, or were actively shouting to the audience something else. And I know there’s “what about Evan Peters as Quicksilver?? That meant Magneto could show…

Well, they have had Justice League adventures off-screen already, since Barry mentions that the Injustice Protocol was in response to their battle with Felix Faust, so it’s possible that Kara popped on by sometime after finding out there’s a new Batwoman.

I’m sure they “met” during the Faust incident

Thawne didn’t hijack the story in my opinion.

- Joe gets run over by a train and there’s no blood or even shredded clothing? I’ve actually seen people run over by a commercial subway train. It ain’t that clean.

I had actual thoughts as the episode progressed but

They probably have to keep the flame going to try to dry off the floor. The Justice League must have 24/7 janitorial services that involve nothing but mopping. I kept getting worried at the combination of all that water and all that electricity.

I wish that maybe the reveal could’ve surprised me but of course it was Thawne. It’s always Thawne. Dude has been all about fucking up Barry’s timeline since episode 1, “maybe it’s Thawne” should genuinely be everyone’s first reaction when coincidences start piling up. 

Caitlin was a pretty big voice of reason this week too, and she got utterly shat upon for it. I guess she got a metaphorical last word when Cecile “thought of Joe” though. That’s something.

Cecile telling Cailtin she had no idea what Cecile was going through made me wonder if Cecile was possessed or something. What is there even to know about Caitlin’s personal life other than that she lost her husband

Imo, the problem with this “event” is that the writers are throwing so many new concepts at the viewers (Joe’s dead, the “Justice League” has Injustice protocols, etc) that the entire story just feels unmoored. It also didn’t help that I completely forgot who this version of The Top was and the whole deal with Iris’s…

Barry & Jefferson Pierce interact with each other so well.
