Candice Patton was great in this episode. And I was not prepared for Barry reciting the children's book. All of a sudden I was crying and didn't even realize it
Loved it. I love the character development in this show. I think it's perfectly fit with progressing the story at a steady pace. I don't get how you guys don't like these episodes.
There is no way they can stretch a Gorilla Grodd plot over 23 episodes. If the rumors are true, next season is going to be painful
Grodd would have to have evolved way more from when we have seen him past. I could see a Gorilla City story arc being pretty cool, but yeah, it could get really tired.
I never even liked Grodd as a normal villain anyway. I get the impression generally he's really popular from what we've had so far but I was never big on it. I'd really like a human non-speedster. Maybe someone not even metahuman, like a Joker/Lex Luthor type villain, 'normal' guy but smart and cunning, pulling the strings of everyone else but I don't know what villains are in the Flash lore that fit that type. The best parts of this show were the Wells/Thawne and Barry relationship in season 1. Zoom started really promising but fell away after it was revealed to be Jay (for me). With all the singularities, vortexes, time travel etc I'd like season 3 to strip it back a little bit but the way it's going with speed force etc I can't see that
I cried half a dozen times watching that episode. B-plot may have been pointless, but that doesn't mean the entire episode is average.
B-Plot was ridiculously dumb but I feel like Kevin Smith loved the original Barry says goodbye to his mom episode that he wanted to add on to it a bit. That stuff always makes me ridiculously emotional.
One of the best episodes of the season imo. Everything with Barry was great. Iris was great. I liked the team all working together. The show is at its best when it builds up to and hits the emotional beats, and this one delivered. So much so, that the lackluster B-Plot didn't bother me. Though, I did love Cisco's line: "I'm so glad you're back.. 'cause we're about to die."
All of the Cisco's lines in the B-Plot made it worth it for me. It's now my dream to have Cisco vibe himself over to iZombie for a crossover episode.
Fudge I had a feeling this would totally pull what they did on The Tomorrow People and I was really, REALLY hoping for once the plot wouldn't go this route. God Dammit. Barry just turn back time.
This reminded me of Slade killing Moira, except where that completely came out of nowhere and blindsided me, this just was so obvious and forced. I don't think they earned that moment at all. Decent episode otherwise, and I'm finally enjoying Wally, which is nice.
Not enough Laurel but still liked the episode a lot. I'm curious how Zoom destroying specific buildings in Earth 1 is going to collapse Earth 2 and how he can open portals by himself. And there's still the man in the iron mask to deal with.
I feel like the man in the iron mask is gonna be revealed to be the real Earth 2 Jay Garrick, played by John Wesley Shipp. Feels like the most logical end to me.
Teddy Sears was impressive this ep for sure Glad Wally finally is caught up even if it's...not in a good way heh
I had zero time to process the ending of this because Agents of SHIELD was on right after, but ohmygodwhy. Also, I'm not caught up on Arrow. I guess now I know who dies.
Accidentally came in to this topic early and saw the initial spoiler free reactions. Honestly I was relieved it wasn't Joe, basically the whole episode I was whispering "don't be Joe" under my breath.
