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

Time travel? speed force? Barry's mom? The writers will figure something out.
I wonder if the actress that plays Barry's mom was happy she got to do other stuff other than being murdered again.

Spinning Speed Force Punch and a Speed Force Punch to the Solar Plexus..... That will fuck anybody up lol.
I like that they are mixing up the ways Barry punches his opponents. Gonna need a spinning back fist and some hellbows!

As big of an L as Barry took, comic Barry created a worse Flashpoint and his "putting things right" was the New 52. It took Wally to clean up comic Barry's time travel mess.

One could make an arguement that our Barry is the Time Remnant from last season but that's just crazy.

Lol.
One thing Barry has taught us all is that a clear board is necessary to explain literally everything. Why is zero RPing as Thawne? *grabs a clear board and draws or write things to explain it*

Way to go barry you killed a baby.
Anyone else notice Tom Felton isn't in the main cast? He got demoted to the Special Appearance category, which is above Special Guest that even Calista Flockhart didn't get it. Weird deal.
just saw this. ew. no. grandson, not son.

Well seeing as you're from the future I'm sure you've already seen every season of this show anyway.
Forgive me, but for me this show's been over for centuries.

Isn't he still dead but the one from the past is still alive because of speedforce?

There's a version of Eobard preserved that is pre-Wells Eobard.
Also, using Flashpoint to get speed up the age of baby Diggle is brilliant.
Yes and no. The nature of television and how these shows are written means big bads are usually more prominent and pop in and out a lot. An evil speedster showing up every sixth episode in the comics is three to six months, but on a tv show is six weeks so it's all a bit more condensed and noticeable.
But I mean yeah there's like thirty different speedsters in The Flash.

I just thought about something.....
Does this mean that Diggle and Lyla never got back together? His new son looks like it would be more him and his brother's ex wife than him and Lyla.
Damn Barry.....

Neither of them can do that IIRC. Only Zoom could. Everyone else required very powerful, expensive, and complicated technology.
Edit: NVM, Barry did it late in season 2. I don't think Thawne can though.

Also this 👌
Time rule inconsistencies aside I absolutely loved this episode. I also love the implication that there are now weird monks that can see into multiple timelines and how that'll come to bite Barry in the ass. That's incredible.
Edit: Also for those of you criticizing how Barry is too slow for the new speedsters, my head canon is that it's because dude just isn't trying as hard. He's trying to pace himself cause as we saw in the scene where he goes back and forth between Iris and Joe, he does get tired. I mean over the last few months he went so fast he went back in time and killed himself, then time traveled multiple times after that, and on top of that has been fighting baddies. Maybe he's either tired or just wants to slow down a bit.

Time Travel itself is not causing these problems, but Time Travel within the Speed Force. Speed Force has been described to me earlier in the thread to be a sledgehammer when it comes to time travel, whereas Rip Hunter and the Time Masters developed tech that is far more precise and elegant with it.
In addition, there have been MULTIPLE times where Legends have fucked up the timeline. Remember Star City?

This needs to be reversed after Barry punches him so he's just getting knocked back and forth between them.

Felicity should be a Flash regular instead of Arrow. It´s the old fun Felicity when she is with Barry. It´s not a shipping thing, but her character is much better when she is with Barry. I want the fun Felicity back.
You know there would immediately be relationship drama between her and Barry, right?

No there would not be. They are friends you know.
You're so, so naive.

It's so brilliant, totally providing an in universe explanation for the usual TV thing of child going from baby to like 4 or 5 in a year.
Why was Dawson's Creek on a TV in 1990? That show started in 98. Also the running between Iris and Joe was absurd. Usually I can ignore inconsistencies but man it was bad. He runs over to talk with Iris for like 10 full seconds and then runs back to Joe like no time had passed. Sure the travel time is nothing but talking with other people takes time. Would have been a better scene if Joe and Iris just knew he was running back and forth and acted like it was no big deal.

I love the pace of this show. Flashpoint got solved in one episode. This drama crap got solved with one episode. Good thing that e can move on from that.
He has Iris, Felicity will be a supportive friend that verbally kicks his ass when he needs to, like in this episode.

Jay said it was 1998. Not 1990.

Really good episode, I like the whole idea of ALchemy giving people back there powers from flashpoint. I also like how when Barry said that he looked at wally lol.
