The Flash - Armageddon Part 4

Tom Cavanagh is always a gift no matter what role he plays, and he's played a lot of them. There is something particularly special about him playing Thawne, and he got to play him in a new way this time, which was great. His back and forth with Barry is always great, and to see them switch costumes was fun too.

 

Damien Darhk has been hit and miss. He was definitely used better in Legends than he was used in Arrow, so it was nice to see this be a continuation of the Legends arc. Neil McDonough slipped back into the role with ease, and it was like he was never absent.

 

Things pretty much wrapped up this episode, so it will be interesting to see what part 5 will bring. Grant did some fantastic acting when he realized Joe was alive again. It is nice to see the emotional crux of the show (Barry and Joe) still intact.

No competition this week, but the episode was great regardless.
