Best villain of the season so far- the empty Reverse Flash suit.
Man, what an awesome episode. So many creepy moments. Everything I thought I knew is totally up in the air now. One thing I'm not sure about--is the female Cicada an adult version of Grace or someone else completely new or her mother?
I notice that in the Flash Museum, Cicada was now Orlin Dwyer. So is that now a new memory that Nora has formed since being in the present or did she always know that? Because she didn't know his name before. But if Nora is forming new memories then other things should be changng from how she remembered them before.
Something else that might just be totally accidental, but the juxtaposition of Nora with the doll's house made the connecton for me with Nora in Henrik Ibsen's A DOLL'S HOUSE.
With Earth-90 being a part of the crossover it broke the 53 Earth limit. Now it is confirmed that with a Jervis Tetch living on Earth-221 that there may well be infinite Earths.
I was surprised that the Flash famiiy were on the ice in that arena without helmets--except for Ralph. It's standard in every Vancouver arena that you have to have a helmet on. And the last time I tried to learn how to skate, I was falling all over the place until finally I was going off the ice when I had one big fall and hit my head smack on the ice--even with the helmet, I was worried I might have got a concussion.

Curious to see how they will go with this and depending on the quality of the child actor (which are always hit or miss) Im cool with the child being the true villain or true Cicada who could somehow be pushing her uncle into action along with the doctor. Though I still think the doctor will turn out to be artificially keeping her comatose to push constipation face to do his stabby thing.
Cicada could really be a combination of all three--which would explain why Chris Klein overacts when he's in Cicada mode. This episode rescued the Cicada plot for me and made it much more interesting on a psychological level. I still hope they wrap it up in the next few episodes, but the pay-off could be pretty big.
Given some of the bad child actors they've had on CW shows, the girl playing Grace is pretty good.
In Nora's memory, shouldn't Singh be the governor (or at least the mayor) by then? And Joe would be the captain. Maybe if Jesse L. Martin had been available they would have done that differently.
Robert Picardo was the voice of Dexter Myles in the Flash Museum, so I hope we get to see him in a future episode.
Wouldn't Wally and Iris be subjects for Cisco to compare their DNA? Wally is metahuman and Iris isn't. Even if Wally is off in Tibet, they still would have his DNA on file at STAR Labs.
Fun episode seeing the flash museum! Something I saw that was really awesome was right before Barry and Iris see the reverse flash suit they are in a room with monitors, playing on one is a scene of DCEU flash from what looks like Justice League
Are they trying to make the viewers hate Cisco, because I am really starting to not like Cisco. His obsession with this cure is dragging his character down so bad, and we all know his cure is not going to end well for someone on Team Flash.
