Celebrating 100 episodes doesnt quite mean what it used to.

(Read my spoiler-filled postmortem interview with showrunner Todd Helbing about the episodehere).

Dampening dagger dampener?).

What’s Past is Prologue

Leave it to clever Nora to come up with the idea.

Barry and Nora accidentally fall out of the Speed Force and land on the ground at the wrong time.

Nora suggests that they simply ask Thawne to help them, but Barry assumes he wont.

Alas, its their only option.

Well, things just got a lot more complicated, didnt they?

(Another funny moment in this time comes when Thawne makes fun of Savitar.

Hmm, you know whats funny about your dad, Nora?

Did you see the pizza face?).

It feels right to revisit the thing that started it all.

Team Flash heads to the hospital and lures Cicada out to play.

The dagger dampening gadget they made works, and Ciscos able to breach it into space.

The episode piles on multiple scenes as it nears its end.

She starts to send a message along with them, but then she decides to deliver it herself.

I think the Thawne twists work well because the show has been spreading bread crumbs all season long.

Honestly, Thawne cast a shadow on every episode preceding this one, and now we know why.

This is probably the best reveal the show has had since season 1.

Overall, I lovedThe Flashs 100th episode.
