ravioli! i love that. i couldn't get into the case either - it felt like the second half of a two-parter, except we never saw the first part - but all the stuff around it was cute. liv and lowell are adorable, the rats are adorable (except the zombie rat, because ew), ravi is THE CUTEST, ravi and lowell bonding is adorable, major is the dumbest of the dumbasses but i still like him, and aside from the case it was a really enjoyable episode. and now every time someone mentions idris elba i'm going to think "big piece of yum". heh.

That's a great way to describe it. Other than the case, though, it really was an enjoyable episode.

I read another book of Margaret Macmillan's and also found it terribly, terribly repetitive. I'm sorry her style hasn't improved in the 14 years since I read the earlier book, but glad to know I'm not the only one who found her a tough, tough read.

Maybe she and her editor think it's the only way to get the point across? I don't know, but it didn't make for a great reading experience.

Lowell! He's so attractive! I really hope he's not Blaine's plant.

but he did have the plates run before breaking into the car. The reporter on the phone tells Major her cop friend ran them, but the car is owned by a shell corporation, and they are stuck without a name.

Oh, right. as you can see, that made very little impression on me.

And also that basically confirms that the LT is under the thumb of Blaine, which was kinda assumed because of his strategic position of power, but not explicit, per se.

*nod nod*

And I imagine the department his now seeded with zombies to carry out Blaine's bidding.

wait, where'd the white rat come from, because I had been paying attention to the cutie pie ratties in the earlier scene, but then I was like ohhhhhh I see what you did there show.

Ha, yes. I love how clever it is visually.

I miss liking Joe, but he keeps digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole for me when he compounded his refusal to give permission for Eddie to marry her by saying he was doing it for her own good because she doesn't realize she loves Barry. Literally patriarchal bull.

When Barry had his "The big hole in your hypothesis is that I don't have any powers," moment, I had a major "You're going there?" reaction. Let's not just lie to Iris about one thing, let's make that lie the centerpiece of an attempt to tell her she's crazy/misguided to lie to her about other things too. If I were Iris, I would kick his ass 15 ways to Sunday once I found out he's the Flash.

I really hope Iris nails them both to the wall and then cuts them out of her life until they realize why keeping secrets and gaslighting her was hurtful and terrible and wrong. I know this is a vain hope, but I do have it.

The *original* timeline is the one where Barry's father becomes the Flash in 1990, works with Christina McGee, and takes down the original Trickster.

...You know it's gonna come up somehow.
