Hero of Time

Elektra

- Nice to get a flash forward.

- Nora’s always late for work, just like her dad.

- This version of Godspeed is a total deviation from the comics, which sucks since August Heart had a pretty good story in the comics that could have been used for a really nice multi-episode arc next season. Not to mention, it would have given Barry more to do story-wise since he had a personal connection with August.

Also, having a one-off appearance like that is not only a waste of a really cool speedsuit, but a waste of BD Wong's talents. He deserved to play out August's proper backstory.

- What happened to all the Speedsters in the future? Where's Wally?

- The truck Nora ran into said “Gambi and Sons”. A little nod to Black Lightning?

- Nice throwback to the Velocity drug.

- Barry’s not the most forgiving guy, is he? He took the Nora thing a little too far with his anger.

- We still don’t know why Thawne looks like Wells. Are they ever going to explain that?

That guard really doesn’t like Thawne.

Elektra

I think that was the Warden. He also said something along the lines of "You're the second visitor he's had in 15 years"

I wonder who the OTHER visitor is that Thawne has had? I would say Barry, but we saw Barry show up AFTER Nora did, and he didn't exactly sign in at the desk. Maybe it was Iris?


On a side note: Did anyone notice that the Central City Citizen becomes a multi-media empire? It looks like Iris is the Cat Grant of Earth-1

This ep was better than I expected...

Though I'm not a fan of Nora, it was nice to see what her world was comprised of, & how she learned of her powers.

Don't know much about Godspeed, but he was pretty boring. Guess they needed to have a speedster that was brand new.

Barry was a little harsh w/Nora, especially since he lets KF off w/a slap on the wrist for her transgressions. That was OTT & ridiculous. But I guess they needed angst...

[rant]The one thing that I've hated for a long time is that WA never get to have any alone time, or family time. It ALWAYS involves the team. What should have been a family discussion was once again, in front of the team. I'm fed up to the teeth w/this. Hopefully, there'll be some new writers who know how to write family drama that just. involves. the. family. The only ppl who should've been allowed in that discussion were Joe & Cecile. NO. ONE. ELSE. [/rant]

I see things haven’t improved at Iron Heights. First it was the warden trying to sell Barry and other meta prisoners. Now Thawne is being tortured. People with powers must not have the same rights.

So that anti-meta future that Zari came from isn’t far off from happening.
