Iris doesn't actually have journalism skills.

You would think that whole thing about her only being hired because she knew the Flash would spur her prove them all wrong and show she's a good journalist on her own merits. Or maybe give up on journalism and do something else. Or, y'know, any sort of arc at all.

Yeah, that was weird.

It's the most obvious setup for either of those storylines and then they did neither.

I live at the poverty level and my mobile plan is basically nothing. It loads fine on my mobile and don't act like you claiming there's a problem loading gifs on phones that has anything to do with the person who told me to stop.

Like if there was a problem someone would've told me at near the OP, not 4 pages later when coincidentally, the incest fetishists and racists mocking black children come out to play.



Does your mobile plan load that blue star beside his name?

Aphrodite

The cast from other shows have been talking about it, so I think it will touch them but probably only around the crossover or something.

They're not going to use something that has never been addressed on their shows like that, it would be crazy.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

They already did 1, you probably forgot because they didn't go anywhere with it.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

They don't have to do that, they can just have someone dub new dialogue and use the old footage.

"Hello friend Barry. You look tense, let me show you this new sonic massage machine I developed. Don't forget to scream out the tenseness in your muscles, that's how it escapes the body."

"Happy birthday, Cisco! I have your present right here, let me just cut it from my flesh. I had it placed there so I could be sure you wouldn't find where I'd hidden it. By the way this toiletless, no lunch steam room you created is the best!"

i'm a little more optimistic now that i know flashpoint was just a one-off and not like, half of the entire season

i'm still doubtful they'll fix the problems i had with season 2 but i'll give them a chance to change my mind

The Flashpoint universe itself was one episode but an altered universe is permanent now.

We're in the New 52 now.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

That was a lovely Flashpoint. We needed some time coming apart at the seams, natural disasters, you know some kind of actual threat besides headaches and losing your memories of the lovely reality you came from.

Rocksicles posted:

To be fair, the movie did it in an hour and a half with the entire roster of characters.

And the comic was only 5 issues. That's like 100 pages.

Go into past, take mom back into future with you while burning down house on the way out. Simple.

(Leave a spare corpse in there if you have to, not going to be hard for Barry to find one of those lying around.)

Time isn't Law and Order, I don't think you can trick it.

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."

Time wraiths are for time traveling, not alternate timelines. Barry only traveled for about 2 minutes, then went back.

Alternate timelines are Booster Gold's job, and he blew it.

Lol at all the people bigging up "Flashpoint" since the end of last season and how much effect it was going to have on this show and the others.

It changed the only thing this show is about, Barry and Iris.

What happened to time wraiths and the debilitating headaches he got when he made significant changes to the timeline?

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

Except when it's not true.

I don't think this created a new timeline since basically all he did was talk to a dying woman (which now that's unfortunately erased and his mom has the most frightening version of her death instead, nice going Bar')

He didn't stick around in it but it still would have created one.

I have no memory at all of this.

They should all create alternate timelines, but not all of them have altered the prime timeline that most episodes take place in.

I like that they kept the Smallville tradition of superspeed being way better off-screen.

Barry took care of that problem in a split second. If it was on screen he'd have dropped down to normal speed for no reason.
