Predictions: Wally dies instead of Iris, and, therefore, Barry gave up his perfect future for nothing. Also, I predict Barry will do something stupid to avoid Iris dying (but that is too easy of a guess). Regardless, I think this was the best episode of The Flash all season.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.
OMG! I immediately thought of Harry Potter when they mentioned the stone, but totally missed that it was Draco doing the telling.
Plus we got the Earth-3 Trickster.
OTOH, the computer-generatedness of some of the effects, especially while Jay was getting whomped on by Savitar, was really obvious.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.
But they're going to overdub it for the Commonwealth market to make it the Sorcerer's Stone.

Who was very Joker-esque, which I assumed was a tip of the hat to Mark Hamill.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've missed so much, I have very little idea of what's going on. I usually don't get to tune in until 8:30 or so, so I just watch the pretty colors. And Cisco.
And I don't know if anyone else reads Sherrilyn Kenyon, but one of the characters in her Dark Hunter series is named Savitar ... he's kind of omnipotent, omniscient, immortal ... with a bit of a temper and a fondness for surfing.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Oh, Barry, why do you even bother to wear a mask? I know you're a good guy and you're empathetic, but maybe don't give away your secret identity and the identities of everyone who works with you to a guy with an evil god thing in his head?
Arrow: What?

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 shaking my head at Barry outing himself and Team Arrow to Heatwave during the crossover. Mick is still a criminal that enjoys hurting people, even if he's currently working with the "good guys." Not the type of person that you want knowing the IDs of every active superhero.
I imagine Julian is a dead man come the end of the season at this point.
I will say I'm happy that Team Arrow didn't blame Ollie for Billy's death (he's going to do enough of that himself) though this would once again prove why Ollie's decision to go to a general no-kill policy was a good one outside of extreme circumstances.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Arrow: HAHAHAHAHA. Has the fandom completely imploded yet.
The way Laurel was written out of the show never sat quite rightly with me, so I'm curious to see what they're going to do with this. Is she alive because of the Flashpoint? But if that's the case, the Original Team Arrow would have remembered that Laurel hadn't died. This is so gonna jerk around Quentin (some more). I mean, enough with Schrodinger's daughters already!
If they wanted us to feel the tragedy of Billy's death, they should have, you know, made him into an actual character. But he was such a non-entity, all I got was, "huh, so that happened." I was glad that the Arrow Team didn't turn on Oliver, although I almost expected people to go, "Who's Billy?", Gilmore Girls style, when Oliver announced his death. So, the only person who could possibly be Prometheus is the over-zealous DA, right?
Awww, season 1 Diggle and Felicity! What fun nostalgic romp, with a side of rampant murders.

Arrow: I don't even know. What the actual fuck?
why Ollie's decision to go to a general no-kill policy was a good one outside of extreme circumstances.
The fake flashbacks seemed more brutal than normal, but he really did kill a LOT of people in S1. Not just the people on The List, but all their henchmen as well, who maybe didn't deserve to be arrowed to death.

Right? I didn't really care about his relationship with Felicity, because we really didn't see it happen.

I think the DA is the random extra vigilante.
Someone needs to HUG CURTIS NOW.
Ollie mentioned that Prometheus did a weird flippy-type move that he (Ollie) also learned in Russia, but that was never followed up on. So I'm super curious. (Although the flippy thing made me think, for a split second, that MAYBE Prometheus is Roy Harper, because PARKOUR.)
