A Little Disappointing Until the End
17 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I gotta say going into this I was expecting to see Godspeed vs Flash, but at least we got to see him the show. I have mixed feeling about how they chose to portray Godspeed, but like I said before I'm just happy we got to see him. I didn't love Nora's mini origin story. They shouldn't have made it exactly like Barry Allen's. The story felt too similar and I would've liked to see Nora become XS in a more unique way compared to Barry becoming the Flash. I mean everything that happened from her waking up at the hospital with poker face playing to Thawne's speech was the exact experience Barry had. But then the last couple of scenes really bumped up my rating for this episode. Im glad Barry didn't cave into everyone saying "let's give her a chance" and actually stuck with his gut feeling and sent Nora back to her time. And his confrontation with Reverse Flash, man was that awesome. For a moment there I thought that maybe we would see the beginning of Thawne escaping (but that would've have made no sense given that early in the episode they established that there is no way he can escape). I hope this isn't the end of Thawne's life and he makes appearances in later seasons. Also could Barry's video message to Nora be from next years crossover? Cause if it is that would be interesting to see.
