Wait, are we allowed to dismiss mods in the TVIV now? Also, Koalas March, am I a racist if I think Iris and Caitlyn are, more often than not, poorly used on the show? Am I a sexist if I say I think Iris needs her own subplot and/or villain? Is thinking that Caitlin should become Killer Frost (but heroic like Barry "the Fastest Murderer Alive" Allan) mean I want to make America great again?

AAAAAAAAANYWAY since it's a given that Bary will kill metahumans to sate the speedforce-fueled bloodlust that courses through his veins, what percentage of the metahumans this season will survive the encountering the blood-red blur?

Spergatory posted:The thing that gets me is that Wells Flash offered him a chance to do exactly this at the end of season 1, no strings attached, and he turned it down because he liked the life and friends he had. Thawne seemed genuinely confused that Barry would turn down the chance to undo the damage he did to the timeline-- not in a "curses, you didn't fall for my evil plan!" way, but in a "holy poo poo, I just offered you, my sworn enemy, a golden goose with no strings attached, and you spat in my face! What the gently caress is wrong with you?" kinda way. And then at the end of season 2 he goes back and does it anyway, so it's almost like he didn't do it in season 1 just to be a dick. Not to preserve his relationship with his friends or found family, but just so he could gently caress Thawne over and murder him (and his ancestor!). Jesus, no wonder Thawne hates the guy. [nerd alert] In the original timeline Barry's family wasn't attacked that night and Barry didn't become the Flash until like 2020 if I remember correctly (whenever the particle accelerator explosion was originally going to happen.) No murder, but the more important detail, no attempted murder. Even preventing her murder left the attempt, which means that the police were called in that would have responded to other things that night, insurance claims were filed that didn't exist before, etc, etc. Obviously the Arrowverse uses a more strict butterfly effect than most shows with time travel. Thrawn!Wells mentions it when Barry changes time both times in season 1. Things that he didn't directly effect were changed because of other, smaller changes. [/nerd alert] Just ignore all the evidence that doesn't agree with this theory.

LinkesAuge posted:Which only makes it worse because now superpowers are some kind of sickness that make you crazy/evil? That's opening a can of worms. I have to assume they're doing that to set up why the show will have to take away Caitlyn & Wally's powers during the season finale. You know, because heaven forbid we have more than one superhero per superhero show. What do you think this is, Legends of Tomorrow? In a semi-related thought: Post-Flashpoint do they still have Black Siren locked up in the no-lunch supermax?

MiddleOne posted:It was 70% Arrow melodrama Since I didn't have to watch any Arrow leading up to this episode and I won't have to watch any Arrow after this episode I can say it was actually a pretty ok episode of the crossover. I mean, I still had to watch some Arrow during this crossover, but I'll take a half-hour "no one can accept the perfect matrix" melodrama episode that all genre shows eventually do over the Felicity cry-talking of season 4.

If I remember correctly the Cisco blog thing from season one said that the no-bathroom-breaks pods connected into another room when they weren't being called up to talk to Team Flash. Though now that I think about it that would just raise even more questions about no-lunch supermax.

I feel like the time vault is something the writers specifically ignore unless they need it for something. Because I can't imagine a reason that Cisco not to be in there every day data mining cool future tech or info about potential metas.

[Overthinking CW show] So this is the Savitar that escaped from an eternity in Barry's Speedforce prison hell thing (I'll take No-Lunch supermax over that fate any loving day) then eventually Barry will also eventually have to deal with the original Savitar who hasn't yet been hell-prisoned. And then eventually he goes insane* and becomes Savitar and travels back in time to gently caress with Barry, gets imprisoned, breaks out, kills Iris, and gets dealt with again. Savitar has already proven he has a pretty good recollection of exactly what happened while he was the Flash, so how did he not avoid being captured the first time? Where are the Time Wraiths? Where is the Black Flash? Where were the Timemasters? (gently caress my head hurts) Where are the Goddamn Legends of Tomorrow!?! [/Overthinking CW show] *Obviously at some point the Speed Force clues Barry into the fact that his life sucks because he's a character in a CW show.

nelson posted:I think all of you are missing the point of the episode which was Caitlin's Iceman Slide. That's the coolest thing I've seen in this or any other series. I also thought it was awesome in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends when I was a kid, but this is real and that was just a cartoon. That was goofy, and dumb, and loving sweet! I love when ice characters get goofy 60's comics powers. She needs to capture someone in a snowman at some point. R-Type posted:This all seems like a massively convoluted plot to get rid of a useless character. There are so, so many ways Iris could be a not useless character. gently caress, HR was made not useless. Also LOL if you think they're killing off the girlfriend for more than half an episode before Barry Flashpoints himself a better timeline again.

Arrow (all) - Cry talking, poor decisions, purestrain CW drama.

Has Barry considered just swearing to never use time remnants or would that be too easy a solution (and too hard on the writers when they need a source of cheap "Barry's gonna' die!" drama)?

It's so Cisco can hit her with another happy memory and she rejoins team Flash, maybe after a motivational talk from Snart about being a cold based bad guy and learning to do the right thing, all just in time to wrap up the season. Also I expect the cheap drama will be Julian being killed because no way he stays on as a member of the team for season 4 and no way they get rid of Wally "Better than Flash in every way" West by killing him or depowering him.

She can learn that being a cold based character doesn't mean she has to be evil, have a doomed romance with a main character (since Ray and Nate had their turn let's mix it up and have the romance be with Captain Lance), and at the end of the season when they dump her character she can come back to Flash just in time for Season 4 to start.
