Am I crying? Yes. Yes, I am. Damn it, Flash. You did it again. You managed to turn me into a sobbing mess.

First of all, what was Mark fucking Hamill doing there? I've never seen him in anything other than Star Wars, so my first thought was a horrified "L-Luke?". Amazing. It takes some serious balls to cast such an iconic actor and then have him appear in just one scene. I applaud the showrunners.

Yay, Wally got his suit. Maybe he will finally stop whining.

I can't decide if I like Julian or not. Sure, he's not a bad guy, but he can still be an asshole when he wants to be.

"One shall betray you. One shall fall. One will suffer fate far worse than death."

Fuck off, Savitar. Nobody messes with Team Flash. And stay away from Iris. We've already lost Laurel, I won't let another plant-named love interest/moral compass/badass die on my watch.

So, Caitlin can control her powers now? It would be so cool (no pun intended) if she could use them without fear of turning into Killer Frost.

Drunk H.R. is hilarious. And his little happy dance with Wally in the park was absolutely adorable.

The Flash sure knows how to do a Christmas episode. I don't get nearly as excited about Christmas as I used to, but even my cold, dead heart warmed up a little when I saw all those decorations and all the characters together and happy for once. I was afraid something would happen and the episode would end on a cliffhanger, but no. Instead we got Barry and Iris being cute and in love. Someone punch me in the face, I can't handle the feels.

So, I guess this is the mid-season finale? In that case, see you all in 2017! And early Merry Christmas wishes to all of you!

Actually Mark Hamill has already appeared in 3 Flash Episodes:

  • The Present (2016) ... James Jesse / The Trickster
  • Running to Stand Still (2015) ... James Jesse / The Trickster
  • Tricksters (2015) ... James Jesse / The Trickster

@kmix Yeah, I actually went to his Wikipedia page after writing this review and realized that this wasn't his first episode of the show. I just didn't remember his previous appearances because I have a terrible memory, especially when it comes to villains of the week :)

@aniela-krajewska Thank's for now, Miss AK :-) Looooove reading your reviews, funny as hell too and aaaa LOT of great insights :-) Already looking forward for next years reviews.
Happy or merry something something later this month ;-)
Kind regards, TheAtheist :-)

@aniela-krajewska Mark Hamill has been in each season. This episode was the shortest of all three.
