All Star Team Up is exactly what it is. Felicity and Ray are in Central City to get help with his ATOM Suit at STAR LABS, which of course turns out to be perfect timing as the city is under attack by robotic killer bees. I thought that ATOM's introduction to Caitlin and Cisco was great as it served up an awesome Superman joke. A bit on the nose perhaps, but still one that you couldn't help but smile at. I had totally forgotten that Emily Kinney (Beth from The Walking Dead) was scheduled to appear as Brie Larvan / Bug-Eyed Bandit. It's unclear if she will have any kind of major role on the show because by the end of the episode she is caught and heading to prison. I really hope we get more because she was barely in this one. The main crux of this episode was really about Barry wrestling with the idea of telling Caitlin and Cisco that he suspects Dr. Wells to be the Reverse-Flash. I thought it was kind cool that Cisco was somehow able to have "visions" of a future that had already been erased from exisitence when Barry altered time. So, to have Cisco remembering Dr. Wells killing him is a nice twist. Now, will Iris also start remembering that she told Barry she loved him and that he revealed himself to be the Flash? Will
Dr. Wells remember killing Cisco? Me thinks so. Overall a great action packed hour with a lot of moving parts from everyone involved.

One of the best and most thrilling episodes of the Flash happened a few episodes back and that was when Cisco discovered that Dr. Wells was the Reverse-Flash, only to be killed soon after. That episode the following week became nothing more than a cheat when Barry Allen as The Flash was able to time travel, erasing that moment. But in the ensuing weeks, Cisco has had flashes of an incident that never happened. So, it was really cool to see them invent 'Dream Catcher' goggles that would allow Cisco to tap into his dream. This leads to the Trap where everyone would basically recreate that very scene from a few episodes in order to get Dr. Wells to admit to killing Barry's mother.

The scene plays out exactly as it did before but this is Dr. Wells and he is smart for a reason. The twist is that he ends up playing the gang, revealing that he has been tracking all of them with hidden cameras everywhere. He has always been one step ahead. The secret is out. Where they go from here is going to be interesting, especially with Dr. Wells kidnapping Eddie. They both have the same last name, so this wasn't a total shock. I suspected that Eddie was in fact the father of Eobard Thawne. I don't know the history of the character, so he may be something else all together. The flashback scenes were great as well as we see Iris sitting bedside next to a coma-ridden Barry as she pours to heart out to him, takes his hand and gets a static electric charge. This will be the key for her finally figuring out that Barry is The Flash when she gets the same electric charge in the final scene. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

All season long I, along with any fan of the show, have been waiting for the Season Final which basically was teased from the first episode and onward. The showdown between Flash and Revere-Flash and the rush to save Barry's mother was the driving force of Season 1 and the Finale delivered in a big f*cking way. You think you know what's coming, but you don't. Hell, the writers actually went against what I thought would happen, which only made the episode all the more poignant when Barry gets to say his goodbyes to his mother.

The bulk of the episode was about whether Barry should or shouldn't go back in time to save his mother due to the repercussions of altering the future, thus erasing the relationships he has built. This leads to a handful of scenes that will have you tearing up emotionally. The scenes were great and packed a wallop.  Once it's decided that he would in fact travel back in time, the action kicks into high gear. I don't want to say much more if you guys haven't seen it. I love the finale enough to actually watch it again the following week and it was just as good. The only problem I had with it was how they ended the cliffhanger. It was just a weird, odd moment to fade to black. In spite of that little miscue, still one of the best episodes this season.
