So I'm like 20 pages behind in this thread, but is the general consensus that the end of the last episode was Barry getting pushed into the speed force and Wally and Jesse probably gaining speed powers from the blast?

I'm taking it that yeah Barry's now 'in' the speed force and will become one with it or embrace it in some way that just makes him naturally so much faster than Zoom or anyone else who's just tapping into it like he used to. This will include Wally, etc.

I mean have Barry from that show somehow end up on this show's Earth for an episode. Shouldn't be too hard since they have the actor.

I'd be really shocked if they don't have them after that. Will they call Wally Kid Flash or just have two Flashes?

I can imagine this getting lost in translation and ending up with Zoom becoming a hero in the eyes of the public, and he just ends up rolling along with it.

Don't worry, they'll spend half an episode on his history of exposing himself to an all-girls middle school to explain the name.

I don't expect it to happen, but it would be really cool if they actually ran with this, just made Wally and Jesse the new Flashes of their respective Earths until about half way through next season when Cisco suddenly realises that Barry's still out there and they have to rescue him.

enraged_camel posted:

They have dropped huge hints about both of them at this point. Heck, Joe flat out said something like "i know you want to do something that satisfies your need for speed and also help people, but..." and it was kind of an :rolleyes: moment because it was so hamfisted.

Also, the episode was annoying in the sense that it was yet another powerless-Barry episode. The projection thing was clever but watching Barry anguish over yet another big decision was just frustrating.
I was actually waiting all episode for someone to say "Wait, if you know the formula to give someone speed powers, why does it have to be Barry?" I bet Wally would have volunteered. Or Henry. Or Wells could have done it after Barry decided it was too dangerous, just go "Look, I know what I'm doing and it's perfectly safe. If you won't do it, I will."

Cisco will probably come up with at least whatever either Wally or Jessie end up calling themselves, probably Wally though. Gotta keep that running joke going after all. (No pun intended.)

I assumed it was because Barry spent the last year and a half learning how to go faster by people telling him to go faster, and they didn't have time to tell someone else how they need to go faster over the next 18 months to get back up to Zoom speed, even with the deus ex machina chest claw.

Alternatively, no one there knows how to sew to resize the suit.

They've established over and over that the particle reactor accident gave people powers somewhat related to their life history and their personality so basically nobody in Central City but Barry thought about going fast :shrug: .... UNTIL NOW

We don't need more speedsters. If they act anything like Barry time itself will unravel because they just do whatever the gently caress they want with time travel.

They could always be creative and change up their power sets so instead of super speed, they have other speed force connected powers like the kids Wally had in the comics. Highly unlikely since it requires a bit of creativity, but it'd be interesting
