  • Awesome Guest Star.. Angela Bassett

    Great opening shot in this episode, the hands out of the cell bars, and holding a cigarette. Then the camera panning into Cotrell.
    Later when Elliots bodyguard is following Julio, Barry and Tina didnt see him follow Julio into the building. This I find hard to believe. Then, we find Angela Bassett playing Linda.. (Who later plays Tina Turner) Just as The Flash is tossed out a third story window, and survives to boot.

    Great save at the end as Linda saves the day by walking into the club and singing. While everyone is thinking shes a ghost. Will the flash get Linda to the prison in time? Will Elliot sit and watch his innocent brother die? Watch and see.moreless

    • Elliot's apartment has a great mural of a hand holding a trumpet with a tongue sticking out of the bell. Edit
    • When Whisper smashes into the big clock, he supposedly stopped it at one minute to midnight. However, during the actual smashing the hands move to different positions, then it's back to 11:59 in the very next scene. Edit
    • The bulk of this episode actually occurred in "real time" as the series 24 would years later, as the clocks in the background match the air time, until the last six minutes. Edit

    • Fantastic Four The woman murdered in place of Linda Lake was named Susie Storm. We never see Susie, which is appropriate - Susan Storm is the name of Marvel Comics' Invisible Woman, from their flagship title, Fantastic Four. Edit
