Is Barry trying to find a timeline where he's not a complete idiot or what?

That's the timeline where he goes back to the night his mom died and he shoves 10 year old Barry in front of the knife.

Flash needs to go to a timeline where he played Chrono Trigger as a kid. He can make time duplicates so if he really wants to save his mom without changing the timeline there ya go.

Seriously, Barry goes back in time a week before his mom dies, grabs her, does the time rodeo and makes a chronal remnant of her, leaves it at home and puts mom up in a hotel for a week. Once Thawne kills the remnant his mom can go back to her life.

The Barry who did that can't exist without suffering the tragedy of his mother's murder as a child.

Time doesn't just say "Oh, a Barry's mom died. Whatever."

Fine! He can bring one of them to the present so he still has the trauma and also a living mother!

For how often one of Barry's loved ones dies he should have a whole room full of time remnants.

Ollie's city is so loving stupid that no one noticed the enormous construction of an entire underground city happening, including the obviously needed power plant, exhaust ports, etc.

Also there is a cavern full of super-assassins that apparently is a 15 minute bus ride outside the city limits.

Eh, it was more like a large, ritzy neighborhood.

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

It seems like her powers come with a significant +Evil side effect, which is unfortunate, but not uncommon. Many metahumans seem to suffer from this effect. In fact, aren't Barry, Cisco, and Firestorm the only metahumans in the entire world who aren't assholes?

Also, I thought the actual reason Killer Frost is Killer is because she basically has to suck heat from her surroundings (and occasionally living people) in order to keep living. Did they drop the heat vampire side effects, or are those going to come in later?

When they revamped KF during Underworld Unleashed she no longer had any control of her powers and was compelled to seek out massive heat sources in order to feel even slightly warm.

Every season is going to be a speedster baddie. They don't know how to write challenges for Barry if his opponent doesn't have the same power set ONLY BETTER. For gently caress's sake, DC editorial mandated the creation of yet another super fast jerkoff so they can adapt him to the show in a future season.

In the vibe she was full on Frost so yeah, Cisco is probably the one who goes bad. Savitar probably shows how easy it is to save Dante and that sways him.
