I get the A.T.O.M. bit. But his suit is just too Iron-Man-ish. Flying, armor, bolts from the hands, pop-up display -- I'm surprised that he doesn't call the AI "Jarvis."
During "the Undertaking", Malcolm stopped an individual
hopped up on Mirakuru. The way he did it, to us,
seemed to all but hang a sign on Malcolm, saying
"I'm on Mirakuru also." Episodes after that seem
to say the opposite, moreso as time passed.
Did you have the same expectation? Did you come away
from that exchange confident he had Mirakuru in his
system?
The thought hadn't occurred to me, but it's not out of the question. You're right about subsequent events, though. He certainly doesn't seem to be "using."

When I have time,
I'll review that fight scene, then compare it to more recent fights.
I'm reminded of the time Spock yelled "Khaaaannnn!!!!"
Interesting. Assuming you're referring to tonight's Flash, is the mention of SPOCK's yelling "Khan" in the revised timeline being compared to Thawne's cry?
(That shouldn't spoil anything for WW, who, I'm sure, hasn't seen the episode yet.)
Apparently, the success of "Arrow" and "Flash" has promoted a spin-off of both shows. As yet untitled, it seems that it will be a team-up show (both heroes and villains). "Brave and Bold" seems an obvious choice.
It was the iconic line being spouted by the wrong person.
Luke Skywalker saying "I, am your father..."
I mean, you saw it coming from a mile away and you just sat there and waited for it, groaned when it happened, and just kind of hoped we could just move on (which the writers mercifully did).

Playing the father (or mother) of a character one played in the past is not uncommon, and, of course we see it here with John Wesley Shipp. Less common is playing the SAME CHARACTER, over twenty years later. Amanda Pays reprises her role as Dr. Tina McGee. Hey, I'm a sentimental slush. I love this stuff.
Yes. Although Jane Badler reprised her 1980's "V" role as Diana in the 2011 re-vamp.
"Tina McGee" is a scientist in both "Flash" versions (along with the comic books), though in the earlier series, her character was sort of a cross between Dr. Wells (in the "help Barry figure out his power" sense, not the "kill Barry and his family" sense) and a love interest. Obviously, this older "Tina McGee" won't be a love interest for Barry, but I hope she appears in more episodes.

It was a direct quote of the LoT "Invasion!" episode,.at 6:20. "Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra!" "I'll take that as 'have fun storming the castle." "Oh. For real? You're gonna use Princess Bride

That's what happens with Ralph Dibny in the mix. (Of course, Gypsy's dad was a hoot, too.) George

I am a season and a half behind on Arrow

Do you want us to hold off on spoilers on Arrow,
to be vague about stuff or not talk about it?
Otherwise, I have a continuity question for George. I want to check if something I
thought was said, was said, and if it's been forgotten since then
(which would be a major thing to forget about 1 character.)
(Still haven't seen the latest episode of "Arrow", so please keep that in mind.)

All right then.
Concerning "Arrow"....
During "the Undertaking", Malcolm stopped an individual
hopped up on Mirakuru. The way he did it, to us,
seemed to all but hang a sign on Malcolm, saying
"I'm on Mirakuru also." Episodes after that seem

He's been a LOT squishier since then.

The reason I thought of Spock should be obvious.
It was the iconic line being spouted by the wrong person.

The same character over 20 years later in a show that has a different continuity. Rare indeed.

WordWolf, let us know when you're caught up with the "Who Is Harrison Wells" episode.

I didn't see it last night, myself, though I expect to watch it tonight.

I'll keep you posted.
BTW, based on the episode prior to that,
I have my own theory of EXACTLY what Eobard wants.

What, the bees episode? Brandon Routh is like a sleeping pill to me. What's your theory?

We knew he wanted to go back to his time.
We knew Barry's speed is the key to getting him there.
I think he's trying to get Barry to his ultimate speed,
then do what he did to Harrison Wells to Barry
and "steal" his speed.
