I enjoyed this episode. I thought it was pretty fun and had a lot of entertaining moments. Liked the Jay and Silent Bob cameo. Also kind of interested to see where they go with the Wells storyline.

This is old business, but I've forgotten, -who do Caitlyn and Cisco actually work for, and how do they make a living.

Didn't Wells give them Star Labs or something? I assume they DO something off-screen that earns them a paycheck, and that the "Flash-cave" was just one floor of the building or so that is off-limits to most of the people at Star Labs. If I recall correctly the Silly-NotSmart-Wells came up with some idea to make Star Labs an attraction or something to help bring in money last season or so which featured them in the lobby for some scenes a couple times.

I like Danny Trejo as much as the next movie nerd, but Breacher has to be the poorest written, one dimensional character ever. I know the rest of the cast are fun lovin' millennials and a few hip elders, but is it that hard to write "tough guy" without making him sound like a five year old playing with his Machete action figure?

Thawn willed Star Labs to Barry. I’ll assume he willed the rest of his judgement proof fortune to him too because he was still living in an expensive house after the particle accelerator explosion. Cisco and Caitlin are paid as the only employees until next season when writers from Arrow have Barry fire them for unnecessary drama. There’s no one else in the building.

Decent mostly one off episode. You could tell it had the Kevin Smith influence with some of its quirkiness, especially the Jay and Silent Bob cameo.

I imagine his brain is changing due to the "booster" helmet he's using. It may also be the exposure to dark matter or Thawne.

So Barry couldn't use his arms to create vortexes to make him fly or at least glide down?

Loved the DC comics joke at the beginning about taking their improv act on the road.

Fun episode but they've drug out this Thinker plot so long that I barely remember the dude with the tears.

So are all the regular Metas just conveniently taking a break from crime while Barry deals with the Dark Metas?

So now that Cisco helped out Breacher, will we see Gypsy soon? I'm ready for a return.

At the height and rate at which he was falling I doubt he would have time to sucessfully pull that off. In the past that trick only works in a 10-20' range, IIRC.

Huge Trejo fan but his character here is just awful. Hopefully that was the last we see of him.

Another dumb episode.

I guess Flash couldnt vibrate superfast to get the floating affect to wear off faster.

It's embarrassing for Danny Trejo, one of Hollywood's best scene-stealers, to be given these lines. The Flash producers write the character as a bad parody of the "tough guy" persona. I cringe whenever he makes an appearance on Flash.

He has a great cameo role in the new Lance Henriksen Western, Gone Are The Days.
