The Flash S3 |OT| It was me, Barry.

I hope they do not. Barry best learn to clean up his mess without messing with time.
Maybe I am just suffering from withdrawal, but I seem to like this episode more than most people here or AVClub.
Although, I mute all the cringey/boring parts. Maybe I should start listening to those again.

Thawne certainly made up for it. But the episode needed 100% more Wells.
B/B+ for me. Currently re-watching it now, and some things are definitely bothering me now.
This should have been 2 episodes long. It would have fixed a ton of these issues.

You mean don't fix the time line ?
He can't clean up his mess without fixing the timeline .
Every thing else is just a band aid for now.

That's fair and what I'd give it.
The episode is defnitely charming but at the same time pace of the episode was too fast (hah) or just not really engaging enough for me to buy that Barry really needed to go back.

FUCK, I forgot this was coming on!
Throughout the episode, Thawne ate all of Barry's lunch except the one he brought him.

So Barry messing up time again is what brings Supergirl to the Arrowverse?
Their love can't be denied!!

Reverse Flash definitely made the episode that much more enjoyable. Dude just stays ahead of the game whenever Barry faces off with him.
Solid premiere. Didn't expect there to be this many consequences after "fixing" Flashpoint.
Reverse Flash continues to be the best Villain in the CWVerse. I hope they don't fuck him up like what they did with Merlyn.
I wish there was bigger consequences for Flash wanting to revert back to the regular timeline. Like, Oliver queen being dead and the Time Masters are on the verge of destroying Earth; I like how they changed Flashpoint to be more personal
but I wanted there to be like an "oh shit the world's going to end" sort of moment.
Didn't AVClub rate the episodes for last season Gotham like, pretty average? I don't know why people keep posting their ratings like they mean something and it's not like they're the only site out there that reviews episodes.
That makes the most sense. Either that or 4 way crossover.

AV Club has different reviewers and it's always been that the reviewer scores episodes based on the average of the show not compared to others.
Besides, just like gaming GAF, if you don't care about reviews just don't talk about them because it doesn't affect you.
Yeah I know.
I'm just saying, might as well link other reviews up if we're going to post them. I feel like I only ever see AVClub's reviews posted.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I have my problems with the reviewer who the AV Club has on the Flash, too. But...
This is basically the tact you need to adopt. The guy can have whatever opinions he wants. I know it sucks as a fan to see someone who just doesn't seem on board in charge of reviewing the thing you like, but it just doesn't matter.

So when does this get uploaded to the CW app?
I hope we get to see future "Disappears in Crisis" Flash eventually, the one that Reverse Flash actually hated.
With all these alternate characters we're seeing I feel like it's a possibility.
Supposed to be tomorrow.

Yeah me too. I've wondered about that. I'm guessing they just disappear and/or merge with the current/correct timeline. It's kind of unsettling thinking that they just disappear or "die".
This time was just Iris helping out, last time it was the whole team greeing to kill themselves and the planet/reality for Barry to save his mom...I hate time travel in any show outside of the aforementioned Doctor Who
I'm guessing they just continue. Iris just continues to live her life with Wally being injured but Barry gone.

AV Club is pretty good as a whole, it's just that their Gotham guy cannot seem to wrap their head around the show as it is. That's why you get reviews complaining about the show being wildly inconsistent or still struggling to find itself when it's pretty clear that they've figured out their niche. The niche in question is "batshit insanity," but it's been found.

"Oh god, what did I do?"
You're damn right Barry.
Hold this:
For a second there at the end I thought it was going to be The Black Flash approaching Clariss and giving him Negative Speed Force powers. Instead it was related to Dr. Alchemy and Mirror Master.
Thawne maintain's his spot as the best Speedster and Villain.
Seriously. The OT title should be: "Hey Barry, keep taking those Ls."

Reverse Flash cements his place at the top of the goddamn heap. Deathstroke levels there.

I'm really hoping Reverse Flash keeps that momentum going into Legends of Tomorrow. He's easily my favorite part of the Arrowverse in general at this point.

No. It just seems that in the current timeline Alchemy plays a part in awakening the Rival's speedster powers.
No. As it stands, so far it looks like:
The Rival (Edward Clariss) is a bad speedster in the Flashpoint timeline, but is just a normal person in the new 'fixed' timeline. But Alchemy is aware of Flashpoint and wants to Clariss to "wake up" to his old identity.
So far all we know about Alchemy is that he's voiced by Tobin Bell and the most likely suspect for his identity is Tom Felton's Julian Albert as they share a name.

Dr. Alchemy has yet to be cast, but Saw's Tobin Bell is doing the voice. (Like Zoom last season.) They are different people.
EDIT: Zero covered it.

In terms of major events that are caused by Barry or needs Barry, what's next? Is it COIE?
Dead Barry, I like it.
We've still got the "Barry in jail" thing from the comics and S1 finale. Dead Iris, I like it.

Let's be honest, last season's villain was just a character using the Hunter Zolomon and Zoom names. He's no real Zoom.
