Episode 8.20 Negative Part Two

Thankfully, The Flash followed S&L's lead and chose not to end the season with a cliffhanger.  Since we won't have Barry and Co. back until 2023, that's good thing, IMO.  They just ended with Barry and Iris back in their apartment. 

I hope Thawne is gone for good this time.  I like him, but they've run him into the ground.  If they want Tom Cavanaugh to make more appearances, he can play Harrison Wells again.

Damien Darke made another appearance. 

Nice that they wrapped all the major stuff up.  Give us a fresh start for next season.

I didn't really much care for the graphic novels they did this season.  The stories dragged on, and on, and ON.  If next season is the last one, let's return to the stand alone format of the earlier seasons.

Caitlin was heard, but not seen.  Guess Danielle is too pregnant to appear now.

Thankfully we had no cliffhanger. I'm glad.

I think Thawne is truly gone, at least from his Big Bad status. The interviews made it seem like this was Thawne's swan song. I doubt we've seen the last of him, but I don't think we have to worry about him as Big Bad anymore. But no way they'll not put him into the final episode.

Yeah, they followed S&L's lead on this. 

Thank God.

Decent finale, and no cliffhanger.

Thawne suit looked great.

Wow, Damian was actually the cameo. It was a shock!

They actually tied that missing mom loose end.

And now Season 9's villain emerges from her cryotube. We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, I'm glad they wrapped it all up.
