Oh yeah, Cisco has powers

Kadabra's is back, so I guess Crisis is responsible for his return. Vibe makes a return what was the point of taking the damn cure then( Ugh)

 

[Primal Slayer]

Laurel mention

What character is that? I should know if they're from the comics.

Death itself, apparently

Lol the timely earthquake to avoid the kiss. Clever.

I want a Central City Strong shirt! I like that they showed the fallout of what Eva did and seeing S.T.A.R. Labs helping the community.

Hey, look, actual CSI work! I really like Abra Kadabra too.

It's night and day how this show has handled Iris and her reporting compared to Lois.

Started the episode a little late and poor weather cut off a little bit of the episode. Cisco was examining Frost and then all of a sudden Abra was attacking Flash. What did I miss there?

What the heck is that thing?! I think the fight/action scenes are where you can really tell COVID has impacted this show. Not any real action scene between Abra and Flash and then a CGI monster shows up.

Caitlin and Frost separating kind of makes sense?

Easily the best episode of the season so far though. I'm just going to discard most of the first few episodes aside from Eva's impact on the city. A step in the right direction to "begin" season 7.

Definite step up from last week.

That ending....finally the two are seperated! Though a happy Frost isnt as fun as a Killer Frost. But since they couldnt merge the two into 1, next best thing is to give each their own bodies.

I have to give the writers credit, it takes some skill to go from their safe, somewhat boring writing to writing and executing this episode that I am genuinely offended and angry at them. I am damn lucky I did not throw my remote through my TV when that music started up at the end of Iris's speech. The marriage therapy was always bull****, as shown by how quickly it was dropped. But this, this was a whole new level.

Not a bad episode. And I loved the Frost stuff at the end. But I have to laugh at the shift in logic from season 1:

Season 1:
Here’s Peakaboo. Her worst crimes are that she steals. Let’s lock her up indefinitely in solitary confinement in a 6’x8’ cell with no access to sunlight or fresh air.

Season 7:
Abra Kadabra just murdered 2 people. One of them he mutilated by stabbing him with thousands of playing cards all over his body. But hey, it’s ok because he did it because he was sad.

 

[terry78]

Angst is what the CW loves.

Kaitlyn and Frost standing side by side, easily the best part of the entire episode!
Everything else... What is this with the warm-feelies being able to switch a guy from dedicated mass-murderer to suddenly being Flash's side-kick?! As stated above, he slaughtered two people! But he was so sad.
Does this mean that because Barry misses Oliver that Barry can kill a few people now? Cause I want to see that now!
I will say this about Abra though, he died with perfect hair.
And I skipped Iris' speech at the end, and I am also sure I did not miss a thing by doing so.

My idea for the rest of the season. Let's focus entirely on Cisco and Kaitlyn, and dump everyone else.
