That was fake Wells in the flashback.

So he didn't start using the wheelchair after the car accident? When Wells wife was killed. Sorry. I guess I'm really misremembering.

When real Wells' wife was killed was when Thawne did whatever weird thing he did to take real Wells' body. And then he said he survived the car crash. So there was no wheelchair until after the particle accelerator went kaboom.

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.

Every time I hear the name "DeVoe" my mind immediately goes to "Bell Biv DeVoe" and it loses all possibility of being threatening.

Also, I was annoyed Barry ended up rewarded for his stupid creepy/stalky/obsessive behavior with a confession from DeVoe.

Meanwhile, Team Arrow are also idiots. As soon as the fake cops started playing punching bags (and made no effort to kill the fleeing citizens) it was super obvious the evil plan was to get Team Arrow on video beating up cops.

Also, FBI lady is pompous and annoying.

Yes, that earworm tends to follow shortly after.

Holy shit, Arrow just BLEW MY MIND. That was worth being unspoiled for.

That was fun. I simultaneously feel bad for Alex while being thoroughly amused by her awkwardness with Sara (when they're not in battle, anyway.)

The Earth-1 Thawn wearing Wells' face while being a gung-ho alternate-reality Nazi supporter is just weird, though.

So my guess on the awkward attendant at the wedding was time-traveling granddaughter (or some other future family member) of Barry and Iris.

How does Dark Ollie still have a bow and/or arm after his encounter with Killer Frost?

Shallow note: I've always thought Melissa Benoist was adorable but not really "hot" in the traditional sense, but her dress in the rehearsal scene made me re-evaluate.

Tommy BLEW MY FUCKING MIND. I'm so glad they got him for that scene. I actually audibly gasped. I can't remember the last time a show/movie made me gasp.

The Earth-1 Thawn wearing Wells' face while being a gung-ho alternate-reality Nazi supporter is just weird, though.

Seriously, why does Thawne care? I mean I am LOVING getting to see Tom Cavanagh as (what I think of as) S1 Thawne, so I basically don't really care what Thawne's reasoning is. But it's weird that he's all "Yay, Fatherland!"

That's what Tim thought, too. It flew right over my head, but it makes sense.

I am curious what they're setting up with her. Unless we're going to get a female Impulse. That might be kind of awesome.

I have no idea if the intention was to make Wally look like a stage magician during the big fight in the church, but between the hair, the purple suit and the way he was waving his arms while redirecting the bullets, that's totally what it ended up looking like to me.
