Her anger and betrayal feel palpable, and Iris deserves it all. Speaking of great performances, Kennedy deserves even more accolades for Nora’s face off with future Iris. Even if Tom Cavanagh and Jessica Parker Kennedy sell the heck out of it. In short: This connection still doesn’t entirely make sense. While she certainly had several real bonding moments with Thawne, his rapidly approaching execution means that Nora can’t possibly have had that much time with him. It’s unclear precisely why she keeps going back to him again and again, particularly after discovering the truth of his past, including his murder of her own grandmother.

She wants to know more about how to battle speedsters, especially following Lia’s death. Nora’s initial decision to visit Eobard Thawne feels understandable. Of course it drives her straight to the literal worst man in the world. That’d be a big enough dose in and of itself, but Godspeed also kills her best friend in front of her and she learns that the father she never knew was the Flash.

And not just that she has powers, but that her mother Iris deliberately suppressed them, and forced everyone they knew to keep the secret of them from her. ‘īecause while she’s investigating Godspeed, Nora learns she has powers. He’s trying to make it permanent so he can be a speed god forever Nora’s trying to stop him because he’s a bad dude.īecause at the end of the day, Godspeed, as himself, isn’t that important.
Godspeed turns out to be a guy who’s managed to recreate Season 2’s Velocity 9, the speed drug that can turn humans into metas. The actual beats of the story here aren’t nearly as important as the character work that goes on around them - which is probably why the plot of this episode, as such, is pretty thin. Just in case any of us weren’t 100% sure that this girl is the Flash’s daughter!

Our first scene with Nora running late to work mirrors her father’s original tardy entrance to a crime scene in the pilot, she ends up in a laundry truck after discovering her speed the same way Barry did, and she even gets the exact same training pep talk from Eobard Thawne at the end of the episode. Her story is basically a 2049 version of the original The Flash pilot, complete with an almost astonishing array of call-backs and similar visual cues. Even her best friend Lia is a charming mix of Cisco and Caitlin, blending weirdly advanced science skills with a knack for naming supervillains on the fly. She’s endearingly like Barry actually, all awkward social encounters and too-fast talking complete with a forensic CSI job on top. This future Nora - the Nora from before we knew her on The Flash - comes off as bright and upbeat. (Though since speedsters and vigilantes don’t seem to be around anymore by the time their future arrives, one really does have to wonder what on earth happened during the “crisis” we’ll see in the crossover next year.) The bulk of “Godspeed” takes place in Nora’s future, in which we meet the West-Allen daughter before she had powers, but still professed a healthy obsession with speedsters and their history. While the installment is named after the famous villain turned anti-hero from the Flash comics who briefly appears as a baddie of the week here, “Godspeed” is primarily an origin story about Nora.Īnd it finally, finally shows us the fallout from The Flash Season 5 Episode 17, “Time Bomb,” in which her secret connection to the evil Reverse Flash was revealed. Danielle Panabaker becomes the first actress in the Arrowverse to sit in the director’s chair and delivers the best episode of the season with The Flash Season 5 Episode 18, “Godspeed”.
