Season 8x18: The Man in the Yellow Tie

‘The Flash’: Kausar Mohammed Teases New Speedster, Thawne’s Return | TVLine

 

This episode was soooo dope. I mean so much stuff happened and it was great having both Thawnes in this episode with connected but separate arcs.

Seeing Diggle and the apparent ending to the cube/ green orb arc was unexpected but welcome and it was nice seeing Ray again as well. Cecile getting a power upgrade I was more just like whatever but it fits with the theme of Team Flash leveling up so ok I guess lol.

This arc is shaping up to be something great and I can’t wait for the finale two episodes. I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again once the finale airs but this is the most consistent season of The Flash in a long time so hopefully they can bring the season to a satisfying end.

 

They spent 3 years w/ this Diggle thing only for it not to happen....lol so Arrowverse

 

That’s pretty true lol.

 

The way Thawne and Diggle described it this episode, it sounded more like Volthoom's evil power ring than a Green Lantern ring. The Guardians might have a better offer to make to someone who can resist Volthoom's power, especially if someone out there accepts the evil ring and goes on a rampage.

Since Cecile can manipulate the emotional spectrum now, I think that the Arrowverse hasn't abandoned its Corps connection.

 

I love how at the end, we get this deep, mysterious sounding voice and I'm thinking maybe it's the Monitor or a vision of another character, or maybe even someone from the Corps...and it just ends up being Deon of all people.

I did appreciate seeing Ray and him talking about what the Legends had been doing. I don't know if we'll ever get any proper closure or send-off for them, but until that day comes, I imagine this is as close as we'll get.
