The scene between Neal McDonough and Jesse L. Martin justified this episode for me all on its own; that Damien got to say goodbye to Nora was a nice little extra treat.

It was a nice acting challenge for Tom Cavanagh to play a new Wells every season & he certainly was up to it. But a shame in retrospect to think that they could have just kept Harry & they never came up with another Wells that was as good a character as he was

They can’t be the same person. Blade wears sunglasses and Cottonmouth doesn’t. He wouldn’t be able to see.
Alfre Woodard has been in the MCU as two different characters, major one in Luke Cage and the woman who goads Tony Stark into signing the Accords in Civil War, so yeah I don’t think they care that much about different characters being played by the same actors.
They’ve had actors in multiple roles before; Sersi in Eternals was identical to Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel with a different skin color.
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.
Speaking of Alex, this Supergirl fan was hoping Sentinel might show up for the final battle. The video-chat scene from the earlier installment established that she was around and presumably available. Still, I did like the golden-boots scene where the hero finally lives up to his insane power levels and curb-stomps…
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.
Having now watched all five parts, it does seem like they could’ve cut to the chase a little sooner, condensed parts 1-3 and fleshed out more of the Reverse Flashpoint world and resolution with Thawne. I liked Armageddon overall, and it gives me hope for the rest of season 8, but the time with Despero feels wasted and…
See, I can understand Batman’s no-kill policy. The way he operates and his mental state, it’s relatively easy to see him fall off the slippery slope. But Barry Allen is far more mentally stable, and if ANYONE deserved to be killed forever, it’s fucking Thawne. The fact that Joe, a cop, was so vehemently against…
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.
Felicity is still alive in the present, it was future Felicity that was taken by the Monitor to meet Oliver.
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
Shocked and delighted at the Nora Darhk cameo. The Darhks are easily my favourite family in the whole Arrowverse and it was very nice of Flash to give their storyline (another, some would say unneeded) resolution. Of course, Joe immediately adopted her and became her new father.
