Time travelling to the 90's is the new time travelling to the 50s/60s/70s it seems.

...I think this is the only time I've heard of characters traveling back to the 90's.

Oh right. I was thinking of Captain Marvel really, but that wasn't time travel so much as it was taking place in the 90s.
It's mostly just me wincing at how long ago the 90s was.

I mean, finally, I can agree with that. Thanks CW's Flash. Nobody ever travels to that time period.

Should've guessed that after it was mentioned last episode and then became a plot point during a nightmare sequence this episode that Killer Frost's being a fugitive again would come back in a big way now.

I really don't feel all the hype they are giving this new threat now. So far they seem like fairly standard villains.
But we'll see.

Well, Everyone enjoy the Flash today. My TV just died. I may be able to watch in another place in my home, and I can get a new one tomorrow, but for now, I can't watch anything at all.
Edit: Never mind. TV started working again on it's own.
But that bitch is Season 4 Oliver Queen to me now: untrustworthy.
Anyway, was able to catch the later episode. Still Force is (ironically) on the move.
And next week, Mom Force acts like a mom.![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

The Speedforce acting like a normal person just felt wrong. It's supposed to be a larger-than-life cosmic force.

Yeah, that feels so weird.
Yeah, I was expecting more Blue-and-Orange Morality or otherworldliness from a fundamental force of nature in human form, so the fact that most of the time she talks and acts like just a regular old part of the cast felt weird.

I feel like this is an excuse to have adult Barry interact with his Mom. I'm not saying its a bad decision, but yea it's kind of weird.

What did Oliver do in Season 4 that made him untrustworthy?

Yeah I think that might've been a mix up with Season 3 Oliver.

Ohhh yeah, Season 3 Oliver was a dick. Season 4 Oliver was pleasant if not for the Felicity thing.

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Lets thank that old Robot Chicken sketch for reminding us Chillblaine exists.
Cause I actually did guess him when I started counting down all the Ice villains that hadn't shown up yet.
So I pumped a fist when I turned out to be right.

What a lame Villain name.

And his last name actually is Blaine. So it's like he's saying he's Chill Blaine, not like that other Blaine you know, the one who's uptight all the time. Uptight Blaine we call him.

Super funny. I had two thoughts going through this episode. First Mom Force. Second was that they made it super obvious that it was the Bar Guy from the start and even Frost's snark couldn't save from Chillblaine's corniness. Frost turned herself in and KK escalated the situation way beyond following orders, this is a women with a backstory.
He's named after a medical condition
related to cold, at least originally. Like Kilgrave in Jessica Jones, the show made more of a joke out of it.
Anywho, Chilblaine was interesting. It's odd seeing that character outside of his only real claim to fame, that is the thing with Captain Cold and Golden Glider. Odder still is that he got a little more to him than most of the oneshot villains in this series, a whole Motive Rant and scene about his villain philosophy and all, which almost gave me the impression that he was being set up for multiple appearances.
If not for the way this episode ended, I would've thought they were propping him up as a seasonal archenemy for Caitlin or something.

There is still the possibility for it if the show decides to cash in their Cardboard Prison Card. I don't remember when they did and if they did it has been a while.

Yeah, Nora-Force still doesn't work for me. But Killer Frost's arc intrigues me very much.
Flash will be taking a 3 weeks break already now though

A detour to the 90s is the last thing I was expecting.
