Well, Barry did have a conversation with Draco and then immediately run to fight the Rival, where Alchemy was. Unless Alchemy is yet another speedster/time remnant/homunculus or whatever, he can't be Draco.

poo poo, he's probably Draco, isn't he?

Maybe they'll at least do a twist and have it be a Jekyll and Hyde situation, where Draco is Alchemy but doesn't know it.

That would be cool. Or it'd be awesome if Draco is Alchemy's twin brother!!

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Draco turns out to be a stand-up guy, and Alchemy is played by Daniel Radcliffe.

You know, Jay Garrick just totally stole two people's 1998 clothes, then went into a diner and broke one of their mugs, then peaced out back to his own dimension. What a dick.

Time wraiths only go after people outside their own time. If you hosed with time but returned to your present, you're clear. Mostly.

DEATH WISH AT 120 DECIBELS
Last season had Time Dementors and this season has CSI: Malfoy so I guess all their stupid or weird decisions are based around their love of Harry Potter.

Also there's not way the British guy isn't evil. That's a rule.

Also he's too big a name to just be a guy who is a dick to Barry, even if that alone kind of makes him the hero of the season.

He was in some police procedural too. He actually hasn't done very much at all. Small roles here and there. No idea if he does theatre or something.

Daniel Radcliffe is well out of reach of this show. There's no chance of him being alchemy.

I think he stepped back a bit intentionally to put some distance between him and Harry Potter.

Also, he suffers from child actor disease, what once was a cute and adorable yet precocious child turns into something else entirely. The ravages of time and genetics turn those afflicted into a distant reminder of once was. Features that accentuated their cuteness in their youth only serve to make their misshapen heads and bodies look more grotesque. (see: Macaulay Culkin, Haley Joel Osment, Danny Bonaduce and more)

Culkin had a ton of drama and later mental health issues in his life that basically derailed his life. Osment was doing fine into his late teens until that car crash where he was caught with drugs. He's only now starting to do stuff again.

I think Daniel Radcliffe has done a tremendous job, even while Harry Potter was still going on, of choosing good, varied roles that showcased his ability. It would have been easy for him to sign on to any old blockbuster but he's gone out of his way to do edgy, indie stuff. It's pretty amusing to see him go from Harry Potter to 'farting, animate corpse' just for sharts and giggles.

Wasn't Culkin one of Michael Jackson's pet boy stars for awhile? That's likely enough to mess anyone up.

Oh wow. Yep.

British people are too polite to openly dislike others.

Although I guess since Barry seems to constantly say "I hate that guy" in front of him, you can't really blame him.

No, Barry, they've only ever known the lives that they have. You just screwed up your idea of them. Just deal with it and move on.

I love the idea that Barry is going to end up as a broken, jaded gently caress because he's the only person who remembers the 3,627 other timelines he's hosed up trying to 'fix' everything after his first few time travel attempts.

I mean that poo poo is horrifying to contemplate.

Barry and Draco's last conversation was basically Dexter and "Suprise Mother fucker" guy.

Has there been any changes at all visible on Arrow? I can't remember Diggle's kid being mentioned yet?
Have they confirmed that both shows are now running in this new timeline? It would seem a little odd considering the massive changes that have occurred around the Flash show for the only change in Arrow being isolated to Diggle's kid.
