Fun episode. I'm liking the tone this year. However, how great of a 'thinker' is this villain that he can only manage to work on turning a single person from the bus into a villain per week? That's pretty convenient for Team Flash.

That could have been some solid 4th wall breaking right there. I totally forgot about him as well. Poor Wally.

I actually thought it was Metron for a minute too. Would have been much cooler if it was a New God fucking with the Flash than Davoe.

I think they are pulling back on a single huge arc running the entire season. The Thinker is definitely a second or third-tier villain in DC Comics. The producers have said as much they didn't want Flash going up against yet another speedster villain in season four.

I think that's why I'm liking him as he's not the same old same old. So too with Hazard.

Speaking of 3rd tier villains, where's Captain Boomerang?

Wasn't he on Arrow a few seasons ago?

Yep, so I'm wondering why he hasn't shown up on Flash yet?

Well, the name "Davoe" sounds like he should be the arch-enemy of Lenny and Squiggy ....

After a rocky start to the season, this episode was pretty great. The right tone of humor that fumbled in the previous week.

The whole bus thing was so familiar until I remembered The Strangers from Malibu Comics in the 90s. I'm sure I'm the only person who would remember that series (tho Night Man was on that bus too and he had a TV series).

The character is part of the Suicide Squad film franchise now. Just like Amanda Waller. No more appearances unless the TV producers beg for it and give DC a good reason for that appearance.

Boomerang was on the season finale of Arrow last season. He and Malcom are presumed dead.

Peyton List has been cast as Poison Ivy on Gotham, so it looks like we can kiss her Golden Glider goodbye on Flash. I guess we now know why Gypsy came back this season.

As we know that means little. Malcom is, well, Malcom and Boomerang is one of Flash's main rogues so he has to show up on the show eventually...
