What a breathtakingly paced episode!
Not only was it good on it's own merits, I thought, but an excellent pre-break choice as well. Answered some questions, left others open, and left the viewers wishing the next 4 weeks would fly (race?) by.
Who else loved Cisco geeking out over Time Travel and then his clever way of explaining it to Joe using pop culture? *raises hand*
The Ronnie and Martin Stein story was very well told (that was clever of Ronnie to cut his arm like that!). Though I do wonder why Stein didn't call Wells out for drugging him? I've seen some fans theorize that Stein thought he fainted due to his separation from Ronnie, which I guess makes sense? And the reference to Pittsburgh was a cute touch.
I am a bit dismayed that so many people now know Barry's secret identity. It's getting a bit ridiculous. By now the only ones who don't know are Iris and Eddie (well, and a few of the Rogues)! At this point, he might as well just come clean to Iris.
Speaking of, her growing suspicious and teaming with that reporter could have interesting consequences, provided they don't just have it take the usual route (a la, have Iris get close and almost figure it out then at the last minute something happens where she can't/doesn't/etc.).
But it was the last few minutes that truly took my breath away. Wells revealed in the RF costume, Grodd (and his telepathy!) taking Eiling, just...wow!
As I said, left me breathless and wanting more, which is the mark of a great story.
Looking forward to the return from break.
