Pretty cool

Although not perfect, this episode is definitely my favorite episode of Armageddon and arguably the strongest episode of Armageddon overall. Thawne's twisting of the timeline made for some compelling story-telling and performances from Grant Gustin and Candice Patton. Grant Gustin shined as the Reverse Flash and broke my heart as Barry saw everything in his life weaponized against him. As always, Tom Cavanagh is very entertaining as the gleefully evil Eobard Thawne and it was fun to see Reverse Flash throwing another wrench into our Scarlet Speedster's life. Chyler Leigh is always a delight and it was wonderful to finally see Javicia Leslie cross-over to another Arrowverse show!! Her scenes with Candice Patton were incredibly touching and heartfelt and I really hope to see them interact again. I wasn't a fan of Ryan Choi when he was first introduced in Crisis On Infinite Earths, but it was cool seeing this alternate version of him in this timeline. I feel like it would've been cool to have Brandon Routh here instead just to raise the emotional stakes for Barry. I only wish that Katie Cassidy's Earth-2 Laurel/Black Canary could've appeared in this episode, too. Including her character would've been really fun to watch, given the history that she was with Team Flash.
