I didn't hear a name either until I read a recap of the episode. I would've preferred it to be Madame Xanadu or another supernatural DC character. Everyone was betting it might have been the Question/Vic Sage since he lives in Hub City but I guess Arrow decided to go with new character that may not have a DC counterpart.

That was another excellent episode despite the corny dialog from Iris at the tail end of the show. I felt the speed force gave him back his powers a little too easily, but I believe that was because they just wanted him to accept his mother's death. On the other hand, oh god, Henry just rose the red flag. He is so going to die before the credits roll on the finale.

I loved Cisco's iZombie comment. Also, the scene moved too quickly, but did anyone recognize any of the Metahumans that were there at the end?

Well that was... better than what we have had these last few episodes. There were some pretty good quips but I don't see how Felicity could just get fired when she is the person who runs the company. They listen to her, not the other way around. The flashback sequences were utterly pointless though, especially the one that was like 20 seconds long at the end of the episode. I miss the days when the flashbacks actually went hand in hand with the show's story. Now they feel like they are just there because they are too afraid to not have them there.

Oh, I did find something interesting out, which makes things even more frustrating. Apparently the show runner of this season is also writing the Agents of Shield comic book for Marvel, so he has his time split between two properties. WTF? That explains so much now why this show has suddenly taken a dip in quality, the guy isn't even fully focused on it.

Also, I've been meaning to do this for a long time now:

Isn't the character a little too lighthearted for DC?

Blue Beetle will be gruesomely murdered before the opening credits.

Kotobukiya might've sold me on an Art FX Statue.
