Wow, that episode broke me. I can't imagine what it took for Barry to make the decision that he did. I really thought he was going to change something significant in the past and come back to a completely different present. I couldn't even get too wrapped up in the wedding because I assumed it would all be erased by the end of the episode.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Thanks. I missed that line, wasn't paying enough attention.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
Cisco's been waiting his whole life for an opportunity to say that.

A DVR alert in a separate post so people don't miss it. It looks like. Lost Girl is going to be on Thursday this week instead of Friday.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah. I was in the same boat. Sure Caitlin's getting married and Eddie's getting back together with Iris, but Barry's going to change everything anyway...

And yet I don't feel cheated that he changed nothing like I did in the Sleepy Hollow episode with time travel and nothing changing.

This was more like City on the Edge of Forever, with Mama Allen playing the Joan Collins part.

Oh, flying. Got it. Definitely hoping for Wells. Brave Eddie will get wormhole revived. Did we see Barry signalling to Barry not to interfere? That confused me.

Did we see Barry signalling to Barry not to interfere?
Yes. Of all the people who gave him advice, at least he took his own.
I think I cried at least 3 times in this episode, which was a record set back in the day by "The Prom." (Barry calling Joe "Dad," Barry with his mom, and GOD DAMN IT EDDIE).

I hope they don't just easily bring Eddie back next season. That would be cheap imo.
I wonder if future Flash being more familiar with Thawne knew something of what he was up to or what would happen if Barry saved his mother and that is why he told him not to interfere.
