So I may have missed something, but what was the point of Cisco and Caitlin dressing up like their counterparts to delay Black Siren for five whole minutes until everyone else could turn on the convenient knockout machine? Maybe she was just about to knock another building down, but how would they have known that? How did they even know where she was in the first place? Also it's pretty convenient that the opposite of Black Canary is apparently Black Siren and not White Canary, or things could have gotten even more confusing.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Well with how he was in denial after she died, it's probably better if they don't tell him because he would absolutely do something stupid. "You telling... You saying my baby girls still alive?" No. No sir. This is just someone with the same name, different life. Nothing alike except her appearance. "My little newborn baby girl, she's still alive! My little, just got brought in by da nurse, little stub of umbilical cord still on her belly, skin to skin contact with her mother, apgar 5, six pound two ounces, little beanie cap to keep her head warm, little baby Laurel. You're telling me she's still alive!" This was a mistake. "Oliver, this is detective Lance, from Star City, you know me from work. You call up your buddy black driver and you tell him I said to tell the green arrow that Laurel is alive!"

It would be really funny if Wally ended up being a better and more beloved Flash than Barry. Again.

Did they seriously bring in an army of metas just to get rid of them next episode, not even using them in the finale?

Given that they have 42 minutes left to at least temporarily wrap up Zoom, mourn Flash-Dad, deal with Earth-2 and tell us what's up with the man in the iron mask I'm not too torn up.

Maybe the man in the mask is Earth 2 Captain Detective Lance and Zoom keeps him locked up because he's also the Earth 2 version of Constantine. Also, Wally sideswiping evil Laurel makes the rest of this season worth it.

I wish the end scene had showed Barry using his powers and trying to stop the vibrohand hitting his dad, but not being fast enough, feel like there was a missed opportunity for some really cool visuals or something. Instead the scene was just kinda forgettably presented, and had all the impact of a wet thud.

I want them to show Earth-2 Laurel to Detective Lance and have him go, "Just because she looks like my baby girl and has the same name doesn't mean that they are at all connected. This person means about as much as looking at a wax model of my daughter. Don't you idiots know how alternate realities work? Wells, haven't you explained this science poo poo to them?" Then Wells can just shrug because he seems to be the only person in a group of highly intelligent but stupid characters to get it.

VagueRant posted:What on earth makes you think that any of the characters on either of these shows is that sensible? I don't think it would be in character but it would be funny.  What he'd actually do is have her mind wiped and then just convince her that she was Earth-1 Laurel. I would also be fine with this because it would undo the idiocy of the Arrow writers and everyone could just pretend that it never happened.

I liked this episode quite a lot, Flash Dad getting the vibro hand actually surprised me because I they were setting stuff up between Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays. I'm sure he'll still have appearances though, if only in dream sequences or communing with the Speed Force or whatever. Wally running over Laurel was the best thing in the entire series, the little dent in the quarter panel was the best part

Poor Henry. Sorry I knew you were going. I am intrigued by Zoom's plot of "You are me. And if you're not, I'm gonna make it true." Not because it's particularly fresh or all that interesting, but because it's so petulant that it's funny. I'm really curious as to how they're gonna fix Barry running around Earth so hard that it splits in half. Hell, I just wanna see how they cram in a funeral and final boss battle in one episode. They also gotta give Wally powers now. I pray that he goes full Thea upon learning that Barry is The Flash. We do not need more West Drama (TM). I hate Jesse standing around because everything that happens to her feels like "Okay, now she's fast." Is her headphones not working supposed to be foreshadowing?

"But, the parent thing...and..." "Yeah, this isn't the betrayal of one of the people I trust more than anyone else killing the other person I trust that much. Just a jackass in a gimp mask killing my dad." "Uhhh..." "And it's not even the dad that really raised me. It's the one I didn't see for, like, a decade straight. At best this guy is like a really beloved uncle." "B-but..." "And didn't you go to a really lovely orphanage for the rest of your childhood, too? How are you gonna replicate that, Hunter?" "Well..."

I just realized the worst possible and thus most likely ending. After Zoom and Barry race and destroy Earth 2, the fight continues on Earth, where Barry snaps Zoom's neck killing him. Joe then arrests Barry for crossing the line, his identity is revealed to the world and the next season is the trial of the flash.

I think it would only push Joe over the line if they had already captured/depowered Zoom, and then Barry killed him anyway. Otherwise it would be some pretty terrible writing to have him decide killing Zoom was going too far. However, it is very likely that Iris lays down some kind of ultimatum about killing him, forcing Barry to choose between revenge and her. He will of course choose revenge and be extra full of angst next season.
