I could only bare to watch 1 episode and a half due to the poor acting. It just wasn't believable as a show and concept.

[arista]

I thought episode 1 was good




Well Done DC Comics/Warners

Oh I'm watching this with my son

[Niamh.]

Anyone watch the Finale yet?

[Lostie!]

Yeah I have! Bit of a mixed consensus it seems but I really liked it. The ending has me really excited to see what happens in Season 3

Spoiler:

and how Barry saving his mother changes things.

What happened to Zoom was a cool reference to the comics too (I haven't read them but I've read up quite a bit online) when he was attacked by the Time Wraiths he ended up looking like the Black Flash.

I really liked it too but my son hated it

Spoiler:

I love that whole butterfly effect/sliding doors kind of thing where you change something and see everyone have different lives afterwards, that idea has always fascinated me. Also, it's a good way to reboot for Season 3, it would be dull to have him live happily ever after with Iris etc. That bit at the end with Zoom was creepy, those guys remind me of dementors

Spoiler:

Yeah I completely agree. I hope we see some really cool changes (that last, I don't want them conveniently undone by season's end ).

One of my slight gripes has been that I've been excited for Caitlin to become Killer Frost since the show started and then they just had that role be taken by her Earth-2 counterpart, so it'd be pretty cool (pun intended ) if the Earth-1 Caitlin is now a villain (which I've been wondering about since they've made a point of having Zoom tell her that she has darkness and the capacity to be like Killer Frost in her, I wonder if that was foreshadowing).

Nora being alive in general is exciting too because it gives us a heap of possible new character dynamics (since we've only known her in flashbacks so far so having her around in the present-day is bound to be interesting).

I wonder if the butterfly effect of this change ends up with the Earth-1 Harrison Wells still being alive? Since Earth-2 Harry returned to his Earth in the finale, it would be a way to keep Tom Cavanagh around.

Spoiler:

Ohhhhh good shout about Killer Frost Lostie, i don't want Caitlin to be bad though, maybe Barry can make her good and she could have her powers still

They're going to have to keep Wells in it too imo whether it's bad Wells or good wells, he's one of the best characters

Spoiler:

Yeah totally agree, he'd be a big loss if he wasn't around anymore. I like the thought of Earth-1 Wells being around since we don't really know him beyond the flashbacks. And the team have never yet met him in the original timeline (since the guy they thought was him was Eobard Thawne the whole time).

Though there probably isn't even a "team" anymore.

Spoiler:

But if there isn't a team or a Harrison Wells then Barry wouldn't be the Flash either, would he? hhhmmm

[Niamh.]

Ohhhh I don't know alot of the history of it, that's really cool though

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Really tempted to unspoiled and see what happens in the finale but will wait until it next tuesday. Still need to catch up the latest episode on Sky 1 anyway.

[user104658]

Spoiler:

The time travel thing I think could get a bit too complicated / not make sense, to be honest... it's really problematic. Why would everything have happened exactly as it already has other than a few key points in Flash itself? For example - there have been many crossover concepts between Flash and Arrow... from Barry saving them on occasion, down to little "mentioned" things like Cisco making Black Canary's sonic device. If the whole flash universe has changed... would Cisco have made that? If he didn't, was there ever any Black Canary? If not... why is Laurel Lance now dead in Arrow?

HOWEVER - don't know if we all watch Legends of Tomorrow - but there's going to be crossovers AND in the finale last week, the closing scenes involved them discussing how the Time Masters were now gone (the people previously responsible for keeping time intact, basically wiped out by the Legends), the Legends of Tomorrow team would now have to take on that responsibility... so, will we see crossovers where they have to take responsibility for making sure that all of the major "anchor points" in time that have now been screwed up by Flash are kept in order, and everything ends up as it should be or as close to it as possible? Hmmm. Also Legends ended with a member of the Justice Society (sort of a precursor to the Justice League) crash landing from the future to tell them about some major **** going down. Caused by Barry upsetting the timeline, maybe? Also, Supergirl is moving to the CW for S2 and is merging with the Flash/Arrow/Legends universe permanently (Flash went to Supergirl-world for one Supergirl episode last season, accidentlly hopping dimensions when he was testing the Tachyon device). Part of this Flash-time-reboot could maybe explain Supergirl now having access to Earth-1? I think they'll keep her world in general separate to it, becuase otherwise they have to say that Superman is now active in the Flash universe, which is a whole can of worms as they can't actually cast or use the character due to licencing issues. Basically they can only "hint at" Superman and Batman, they can't explicitly use them, e.g. I think someone mentions "That other guy... in Gotham" in an Arrow episode and in Supergirl they mainly make vague referrences to "her cousin" without him ever appearing other than an occasional glimpse.

Thinking about it though, pulling Supergirl (and maybe the whole of National City?) into Earth-1 would be a good move for that show as it eliminates that issue. Superman would be left back in his own world, and Supergirl would now be the only Kryptonian on Earth-1. Solves a lot of problems really. Maybe even hinted at with Zoom talking about "merging universes" and Earth 1 being the focal point? Hmmm...

Anyway... I do agree that it's a good bet that "real" Earth-1 Harry will be the "new Wells" next season, with Barry stopping Thawne in the past now meaning that he won't kill and replace him. That could be interesting - would be a sort of fun tradition to have Wells be in every series but a new version every time

[Lostie!]

Spoiler:

It's been confirmed that Tom Cavanagh is returning as a regular for Season 3 (though I don't think we ever thought otherwise ), so hopefully this means Earth-1 Wells is gonna be a big part of the season. He's one of the characters I'm most interested in since we've only ever seen the real him briefly in flashbacks.

I think I'm more excited for Season 3 than I was for Season 2 since this reset timeline opens up a bunch of new story avenues!

[Lostie!]

The title of Season 3's premiere has been revealed.

Spoiler:

It's called "Flashpoint", so this confirms the Flashpoint story from the comics that I've been hearing so much about since the finale. That was already pretty much confirmed after what happened in the finale but this episode title is a nice touch.
