Was that a clip show in disguise? -eek-

Either way, it was a cool episode.

Does Thawns' "At least you have one" comment have a double meaning? Referring to Barry have one Nora now after his mother's death and one kid. It seems Thawn knows about the Tornado Twins and not this daughter.

So who was she visiting in the future - Thawn before the entire series?

This episode is why the Flash still ranks so much higher than the other Arrowverse shows. It was a great episode with a lot of interesting implications, while also being a nostalgic look back at the Flash's greatest hits. Touching in a way.

It would be something if that Thawne is from a completely different timeline, possibly the original one where Barry becomes the Flash without Thawne killing Barry's mom.

Cool to relive all those pivotal moments in the Flash show. :up:

What was up with the shard from Savatar's suit? It blinked out of existence for a second. Did something change, or did the arrival of the speedforce ghost restore the original (as if there still is one) timeline?

I was confused by that as well. Sort of a blink and you miss it moment.

This is still a good show the last two seasons when the big bad is in less than 25% of the scenes, maybe they need to shorten the arcs on these guys.

He is still the best villain of the series.

I thought it might play negatively into their plan, but Cicada took care of the gizmo so quickly it hardly mattered.

They had to get it into the Speed Force before it was erased from time. When Savatar was killed the suit would never exist. They had to pull it out of the timeline before time reset. Team Flash mentioned it when they were making the plan.

Nice to hear Morena Baccarin voicing GIDEON again.
FUN romp through the past few years of the FLASH.

Was great to see Cavanagh back doing something that doesn't ruin every episode. If they were smart they would find a way to dump the ridiculous latest alternate Wells and give Thawne as much screen time as the story will allow. Those brief scenes were the best part of the episode. Cavanagh is much better playing a villain that doesn't involve him using an stupid, inconsistent accent.

Anyone notice Thawne-as-Wells handing Nora a bottle of water and then showing her drinking it in the next scene?

But didn't Thawne "become" Wells because he was trapped in the past after killing Barry's mom (and losing his connection to the Speed Force)?

If this Thawne was from the original timeline, he should have his original face.

Is Sherloque actually Thawne?

One theory is that Nora is actually Thawne's daughter

Wow, awesome episode. Great revisiting all the villains and tying the plot into the current villain. Also glad to see the Time Wraith finally show up for Barry & Nora fucking with the timeline. Shouldn't there always be one chasing her?

I actually thought for a second that they were going to wrap up the Cicada story before the big crossover and have a different big bad for the second half of the season. I'm kinda bummed they didn't go that route.

Also, Cisco should have vibed Cicada's blade to a different Earth. End of story.

Also, this would probably kill the show, but when fighting a villain why doesn't Cisco open a portal right to a Star Labs cell and Flash just run and knock them through the portal into the cell?

This show was a great reminder that Cavanaugh as Wells Prime is the best.

Yes but what is the significance of this?

What would bring anyone to that conclusion?

It is and as reverse flash as well.

Then when Flash from 1990 showed up holy cow.
Is that why it was Earth-90?
