My Review of "The Flash: Season 5 Episode 22: Legacy"

Flash has never failed on its finales, and tonight was proof of it.

The team manages to convince young Grace to take the cure, and she does, but Cicada 2.0, manages to break free from her prison and comes after Nora.

The team, despite their hesitation, destroy the dagger to protect Nora, and in the process end up freeing Eobard Thawne.

Barry and Nora then went to the future to stop Thawne, and he explained how he has had everything planned from the beginning. Tom Cavangah showcases his brilliance as Eobard Thawne, and also solidifies himself as the best actor on the show, and arguably the best actor in the Arrowverse.

The fight scene between Barry, Nora, and Thawne was awesome. Great visuals and great nostalgia.

Team Flash showing up to help Barry and Nora was awesome. Thawne meeting up with everyone again was awesome. Great dialogue.

The team then stops Eobard, and Nora then realizes that she is going to be erased from existence. Though the team has the opportunity to save her, through the Negative Speed Force, Nora tells them not to and she then embraces her fate and thanks them both for showing her she is a hero.

Thawne then tells Barry he is looking forward to seeing him again very soon.

Jessica Parker Kennedy's acting was awesome, and she showed why she was the best addition to this season. Her chemistry with Grant Gustin, and Candice Patton was awesome.

In the aftermath of everything, Cisco takes the cure to be with his girlfriend, he also leaves Killer Frost with a new outfit to where. Joe is promoted to Captain by David Singh, who is promoted to Chief of the Police Force. Before he leaves, he informs Barry that he always knew that he was the Flash. Meanwhile, Sherloque returns to his Earth to be with Renee.

Loved the montage here. Best one of the series.

Barry and Iris then find a recording Nora left for them, in case she ended up dying. She the thanks them for being her parents, and showing her what it is truly like to be a hero. I almost cried, great acting and facial expressions from the West-Allen family.

In a post credit scene, the newspaper article then changes the date from 2024, to 2019. Psyched for the Crises on Infinite Earths later this year.

Overall, the finale of the Flash delivered on the emotion, return of the Reverse Flash, awesome visuals, great ending montage, setting up an exciting season 6, and strong performances form Jessica Parker Kennedy, Grant Gustin, and Tom Cavanagh, to deliver an awesome episode to a great season.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
