This guy, Mark Hamill reprising his Trickster role, the totally comicbook-ish over the top Captain Cold and Heatwave (plus Golden Glider now) and even ****** GRODD himself - I love the villains on this show!! 

 

Also just for fun check out this Kickstarter campaign for a short film:

After a month, you have Clyde Mardon's brother Mark getting revenge as Weather Wizard by breaking Joe's leg and shocking the Chief of the Central City PD, Harrison Wells being revealed as Eobard Thawne, Edward's descendant, who did indeed cause the death of Barry's mother and took out Cisco when he found out, and...FLASH GOING BACK IN TIME TO THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE WHILE TRYING TO STOP WEATHER WIZARD FROM DESTROYING CENTRAL CITY WITH A TSUNAMI!!!!!!

Wow, awesome episode. There's something I'm having trouble with though.

 

Spoiler

It's the time travel thing. There's something that's bugging me.

 

See, at the beginning of the episode we have Barry watch an image of himself running a lot faster (let's call this image, Barry') what causes him to stop, take a look around, and then proceed to the morgue. So far, so good. Then, at the end of the episode, in order to save the city from a tsunami, Barry runs so fast he actually travels back in time and encounters an image of himself running but a lot slower (let's call this image, Barry''). We all got the gist of it; Barry' is supposed to be Barry at the end of the episode (future Barry) and Barry'' is Barry at the beginning (past Barry). No problem here either.

 

What puzzles me is that, at the end of the episode, Barry stops and takes a look around like he did at the beginning and watches the same events unfold (dogs barking; guy spinning sign; woman trying to hail a cab). In a (classic) time loop, Barry'' would've been the one to stop and watch these events unfold, not Barry. The fact that it's Barry who now does this tells me he has altered the timeline, even if in a small way. After all, no two Barrys can be at the same place, at the same time, watching the same events unfold. In other words, the timeline Barry' flashed into turned out to be different than the one he came from, and so is now the timeline Barry has flashed into. It's not exactly a time loop but more like a tree that branches out from a common starting point.

 

Anyway, now we have two Flashes in the same timeline. In fact, we had Barry and Barry' for the majority of the episode and now we have Barry and Barry''. I'm curious to know what Barry' was doing in this episode and how that will match up to what Barry does in the next one. I'm assuming Barry will have to return to the future (of Barry'') what could be an interesting setup given the fact the Reverse Flash is so eager to return to the future.

 

Oh, there's another thing with Harrison's explanation about killing Barry but it'll have to wait until tomorrow 'cause it's late.

Amazing ep, though depending on how the next episode plays out, it might end up feeling a bit cheap since all of the major moments from this ep could possibly just not happen once Barry retraces his steps and probably changes things. Iris will probably not tell him how she feels, she won't find out his secret, the chief won't get zapped, Cisco and Kaitlyn won't figure out who Wells is, he won't admit to killing Barry's mom and Cisco won't get fisted to death.

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

To be honest, I wish it were an animated series in the style of BTAS and STAS. I've never been a huge fan of live action.

So this was a sort of family reunion after all...! 

 

[SwobyJ]

I'm of two minds when I think of that hospital scene with the police's partner.

 

1) The "he's his family" is totally what I believe and PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS. STOP LIVING IN DENIAL, ANTI-GAYS.

 

2) I cringe when I see any sort of overt contemporary social messaging in fictional media. Cringy cringe cringe.

 

Then again, I've never loved the writing and acting in The Flash. What keeps me going is the 'cool shiz' happening.

So watched the new episode of Arrow...Man am I more interested in what's going on in Flash.

 

 

The Ra's al Ghul thing is getting old, and a dip in the Lazarus pit sure won't help it.

Arrow is becoming more Batman by the minute.

Probably a temporal anomaly.

Barry fully deserved that punch.

I don't think I'd like most of these people IRL. But that's the case with CW shows.

Well, I find The Flash cast to be more appealing than the Arrow cast.

They're less broody, more upbeat.

[The Love Runner]

With all that brooding Oliver does, he might as well be Green Batman.

[Dermain]

Arrow is becoming more Batman by the minute.

 

Which is one of the reasons why I can't stand this show.

 

Granted, Green Arrow and Batman have some similarities, but that's no reason for giving GA a Batman storyline.

[The Love Runner]

Oliver (With a Batman Growl): WHERE'S MERLYN???????!!!!!! WHERE IS HE????????!!!!!! WHERE'S THE BOW????????!!!!!!

Merlyn (steps in from the shadows): When Starling is...ashes, you have my permission to die.

Oliver (Still with Growl) *****, I'M ARROW!!!!!!!!

Oliver (With Batman Growl): HARRISON WELLS, YOU HAVE FAILED OUR CITIES!!
