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.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The Flash and Arrow are both doing a nice job of playing with their introductory voiceovers.
I’m not sure I understand Barry’s trip to the past, but it hit me in the feels. And Eddie, dude, that’s some serious hero shit right there.
Also, holy crap what a cliffhanger!
iZombie also pretty big with the feels. Major is reminding me of Captain Awesome (and kind of Tom Haverford) in that I like him so much more than I would have guessed when we first met him. A character that can look at his experience and say "well, that's gotta be a delusion, better go get some treatment" rather than doing the standard I-know-what-I-saw-it-was-so-real dance gets a lot of points with me. Sebastian would have been the first person Liv killed, except how he's not exactly all the way dead, but I guess he is the first zombie she's, um, made? Don't know verb to use. I hope Zombie Rat yields up some powerful information or is otherwise important.

Oh!! Because he ate her blood. Now I get it.
I didn't expect the Max Rager plot to come back! Things are getting more complicated. I kind of miss the lightness of the first half of the season, but it's doing well like this too.
I am miffed that twice now they've teased a potential recurring Indian woman and then only brought her back to be dead.

All is well that ends in pizza.
OTOH, it would be a good cameo for Supergirl to show up and help with the black hole...

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.
I think Barry fully intended to go save his mom until his future self told him not to. I can't see him bothering to go through all that just for some minor closure in telling her he turned out okay.
I'm still weirded out by the fact we keep being told that future Barry is the one who took young Barry out of the house, but we keep seeing a yellow blur actually do it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Barry has a red costume and a yellow blur, while Thawne has a yellow costume and a red blur.
