Like, it could be the "logical" (for Barry) move for Barry when he realizes he's made a mess of things but no one in his reality has enough experience or knowledge to help, so he pops over to E2 to get Wells' help and Wells reads him the riot act.

I am imagining the faces Wells would make once Barry tells him and it's making me want the season to start even sooner. :allears:

Let's hope this season is more lighthearted fun and goofy than season 2 imo and that they don't forget to give Iris stuff to do

Flashpoint is very much not a lighthearted story so I... have my concerns. :ohdear:

Flashpoint universe was way better, Barry is a dumb.

No. We need more Wells. More.

Earth-3 isn't doing much right now that isn't Supes related, just ship one of those over. Couple of timeline remnants, too, if you got 'em.

I want STAR Labs staffed by nothing but Harrison Wells.

Favorite part was Jay Garrick pulling Barry out of the Speed Force in the 90s to call him a dumbass and tell him to sack up.

Second favorite part was me going "ha ha yup good ol' Caitlyn still the same as OH MY GOD WHAT THE gently caress BARRY WHAT DID YOU DOOOOO"

Nah, I think we're finally good on that. Using Jay to go "okay that's enough of that, quit it" and having Barry explain to people why it's a horrible fuckup was a pretty good signal they're done with timeline reset chicanery.

Also I love that Flashpoint has given the writers excuses to just drop things in whenever they feel like it and have everyone go "The gently caress, Barry? What do you mean it wasn't in this timeline before?" :allears:

Shouldn't Barry be rapidly forgetting old poo poo and recalling new poo poo? The main dilemma 2 episodes ago was about how Flashpoint time fuckery was eroding his original memories and replacing them with Flashpoint ones. He should probably be remembering the speed room and forgetting...I don't know, King Shark or something?

DCTV has the least consistent time travel rules in fiction. That's a real accomplishment.

Best take on the Phantom is Peter Chung's weird rear end interpretation. Dude's art and aesthetics was made for that. The singer Deborah Harry voiced (Vaingloria? I think?) still creeps me out to this day.

Not liking the new Wells but I have faith in Cavanaugh.

Also I can understand Caitlyn not wanting to tell anyone as she's slowly morphing into the person that murdered the poo poo out of everyone on Earth-2. Panicking over potentially turning into a monster is a pretty good motivator to keep a secret.

So last season the "barry voice over intro" was "I'm the Flash, I hosed up and brought new threats to my world. I'm the only one who can stop them". This season is " I'm the Flash, I hosed up and brought new threats to my world. I'm the only one who can stop them". Will each season end with Barry loving up and bringing new threats to his world (and hopefully new Wells too)

You know how DC has elementals for all the major elements and life existences? The Red for animals, Wind Elemental for Red Tornado, etc.?

Barry Allen is the Fuckup Elemental. Wherever he goes, no matter the media, Barry Allen fucks things up. It's just what he does.

Her powers of Vertigo still don't make sense for the gimmick, but "spins around really fastand it somehow made her smarter" would probably look really dumb.

Top is a pretty bad name, but that can be hand waved by the fact that Cisco was under pressure for a name after getting sniped by Wells

It made more sense with the original comics guy whose superpower gimmick was spinning fast and top-based weapons, but going from inducing vertigo to being named Top is... ehnnnn. Maybe she'll get the spinny after her powers evolve, like Caitlyn and frostbite.

Earth-2 Killer Frost didn't seem to be one. She was just aces with murdering folks and suddenly super evil. It always seems like a Brotherhood of Mutants thing, where they're instantly social pariahs with superiority chips on their shoulders.

You'd think, being a scientist with a social conscience, she'd realize: "hey, I should think globally and combat climate change. I know a way to stop polar ice erosion..."

Probably "holy poo poo I just lost it and froze a man's arm off" would take precedence :shrug:

I would absolutely watch a whole season about Eobard Thawne being a huge rear end in a top hat throughout time and space.

If you can shut off the rational part of your brain for an hour a week, he's over on Legends doing exactly that, plus carting Damien Darhk around with him. He already killed Hourman because gently caress you, that's why.

Legends is fun as long as you don't think about it too much and concentrate on things like Mick's love of setting Nazis on fire.

I've been watching it just for that honestly. Though he's only really been on screen for a few short scenes so far, but that should be changing in the second half of the season.

Eobard is the antihero we need, the only man who will do whatever it takes to stop the rampaging murder speed of Barry Allen.

Also I like how he's not even trying to pretend to care about history right now. "I can get away with time travel because I'm not a huge dumb idiot like you Barry!!" *gives Nazis a nuke*
