Love how Wells puts his glasses back on at the end... "My work is done here."

Why doesn't his suit come off?

I'm assuming it has something to do with the Speed Force.

In the comic the Speed Force generate an aura around Barry and whoever he's carrying so that they can breathe and friction doesn't cause them to combust when moving at high speed.

Now the only reason why that happened in the first few episodes and not later on. I'm guessing it is because Barry got better control of his power. He has been training like crazy.

I guess the speed force allow Barry to "keep" whatever he's wearing and shift their molecules along with his body when he's phasing.

In other words. Speed Force is an amazing thing.

Edit: a lot like how most of the time when you see Superman fight. His cape will get torn off but his suit remain mostly intact. Superman actually generate a force field that form itself around his body. So that help protect him from damage. And by extension his suit. Though most of the time it doesn't extend far enough to protect his cape.
 
So we know what kept RF from leaving the current timeline, but what has kept Future Flash from coming back again or at some point? Could the white logo be a glimpse of future flash somehow?
 
I don't know if anyone caught this, but there may be a "fake" credit...

One of the first credits is a story-editor named "Grainnee Godfrey"... and I was like... oh yeah? As in Granny Good?

Anyway, a search on IMDB comes up with no such person in the crew for the episode.

If I am right... what is gained by a super sneaky Darkseid reference?
 
so this episode has some interesting details

- Original Barry (pre Mommy dead barry) is the one who initiated the time travel and shows up first with RF in pursuit

What I dont understand is why Barry still goes to his old house with RF following him unless he didnt know he was being followed until the last minute.... even then why take the fight inside the house?

- RF is the one who SAVES young Barry after the fight.....

I get the "why" AFTER the fight since he needs Barry to become the Flash... but in the heat of the fight does he realize that they could inadvertenly kill his past self and change everything?

- RF is stranded.... but what happened to Old Barry?

Are they going full Back to the Future where THAT version of Barry no longer exists or is his still somewhere around.... Or did he flee back to his time (how does that even work?)

Efffing Time travel stories man. You can never really close all the loops and gaps in logic can you? I wonder what they will do

I think you've got their colors mixed up. Barry is the one chasing Thawne into his house, and Barry carries his younger self away. In the gif above you can see Thawne try to attack young Barry and adult Barry pushes him off.

Whoa

Why is barry Yellow and RF red?

has that always been the case?
 
Damn damn daayuuuummm. This show. Every single week. So good.

Wells spoilers -

I kind of hope a portion of Wells still exists in the Thawne body/consciousness. The fact that he's basically a bad guy makes the good he does so compelling.
Obviously Thawne is doing stuff to push Barry into breaking into time travel for his own gains, but I hope there's some Wells in there too genuinely helping and looking after Barry.

But if Barry succeeds, the accelerator doesn't get built until 2020. Also, theoretically without Barry hunting his mother's killer, he never meets Ollie and the Star Labs team never synthesizes a Mirakuru cure.

Unless Barry steals the device that gives RF all of his information, thus speeding things up for Wells.
 
is it possible that Thawnes computer cant actually "See" the future and is simply simulating it based on the data from his timeline compared to the new one he currently resides in?

If so the butterfly effect/chaos thoery has to be effecting the limits of how much the computer can simulate and predict....

Also what future could he jump to that would be his? He can never go back to HIS timeline right?

It no longer exists much like the timeline where Cisco dies no longer exists

I didn't expect there actually have been a Harrison Wells. That reveal was even more shocking than Wells being Eobard/RF in the first place.
Click to expand...

It makes sense that there was

If he had made up the personality it would have been that much easier for detective to determine that he had no history of existing as a person prior to when he arrived
 
Not sure if it's a rocketeer reference at the end because I saw the movie recently.

Also cubs fans can't be happy about that joke.


And I guess
The Skull Joe and the arrow cop guy find is the real Wells's body?
 
I know whats going to happen with the time travel element

Barry will save his mother, The pre-Wells reverse flash will not kill Wells. Wells becomes a Good guy and both Barry the flash and Wells the scientist fight the Pre-Wells reverse flash. Barrys mother and father go into safe hiding.
 
Woah. Dude that played mayor Bellows in that last episode also played officer bellows in the 1990 flash trial of the trickster episode... Kind of gives more depth to the tricksters lines.

mind blown.
 
Out of many amazing things about last nights episode, one of my faves was when RF and F traveled in time to fight in Barry's house, they used the Back to the Future sound effect when they came through the time jump. I big puffy heart love this show.
 
I think when Thawne used that genetic camouflage it not only changed his outer appearance, but it also "bled" Wells' knowledge and memories into Thawne.

I think this is the reason Wells has a good side to him.

Every time Barry says "I can't" when trying something impossible, Wells always delivers a motivating speech/message which pushes Barry to the next level. I think if the real Thawne was in full control of the personality, he wouldn't be such a sweetheart with Barry, Cisco, etc. the only time we see Thawne "come out" is as RF and when he's off making someone "disappear". I'm of course using the reveal of the real RF as a reference to his actual personality.

Thawne may be smart, but he's not Harrison Wells smart. Just because he stole his face, doesn't make him make instantly know how to create the shit that caused the accident and Barry to get his powers. It just wouldn't make sense if he only stole his face, he even said "I need you to make that device (I forget the fucking name) a little earlier than 2020".. Killing him wouldn't make that happen, but stealing Wells' knowledge and memories is what would make him capable of building the machine. Just because you know what happens in the past, even with the information, doesn't mean you'd be able to make it.

Wells is in there, somewhere.

Oh and btw, Flash's streak is read, not yellow.. Which is why Iris dubbed him the red streak in earlier episodes. In close ups you can see some yellow lightning but when zoomed out it looks like a glowing red. RF has yellow streaks when running. I know it's supposed to be the other way around (comics and animation) but it appears red.

Goddamn. These one week breaks are so annoying. Is Arrow going on break too?
Click to expand...
It could be worse. That month long break saved us from having multiple one week breaks. And before you ask, these breaks are used by every broadcast network because they need to stretch out their 20+ episode long seasons into 30+ weeks.
 
Out of all people they tell him about the flash? You gotta be kidding me... As if Joe couldn't have convinced her to drop the case.

Other than that great episode.
