My dumb theory (sorry if I missed a similar one): There is an alternate or "original" timeline where Barry's dad is the Flash. Harrison was attempting to kill Barry because this death was what inspired the original Flash to become a hero, and he believed he needed this Flash's power. Because of time-fuckery, he ends up accidentally causing Barry to become the Flash instead.

VDay posted:If you want a comic book-y explanation, then just pretend that that wasn't actually "real" lightning, but just the best version of a lightning bolt that the weather wizard could create and direct. Oh I don't care, the scene just made me curious as to how fast lightning was. I thought the effect was very cool, as usual. zoux fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Mar 19, 2015 |

The "lightning" was actually a third time traveling Barry.

One thing I hope they start showing is news reports about people witnessing random, strange events, such as a storm cloud following a single car and zapping it with lightning, then disappearing.

I just watched it. Amazing how they do this kind of season-finale-worthy stuff as a return from break. I mean I get that it's more or less the start of an arc so the major stuff essentially "doesn't count" but still holy moly. Like others, I had a hunch what they were going for as soon as they showed the dogs barking and the sign spinner and Taxi Tits, but I didn't think they were going to return to it in the same episode. hiddenriverninja posted:Can I get another amen for Blake Neely and the background score because drat edit: I too found the security photo of Wells inexplicably hilarious.

My stepdaughter during tonight's episode - "Why doesn't Barry just forget both of them and date Felicity?" And welp, guess I really do need to sit down and binge Spartacus now. The spot-on casting for the Rogues so far has been a loving bolt from the blue.

Am I the only one who didn't notice that woman's breasts? She has three breast related nicknames in this thread already and it took me until this one to figure out who you were all talking about. Not chiding you guys, just surprised as i'm normally more atuned to that sort of stuff. On topic though, controversial opinion here, that was a good episode. They played all of the plot explosions just subtly enough that it wasn't instantly obvious that they would be undone. Most shows overdo their worst timelines and they have no impact as a result, I was believing this one was possible right up until the end. Question time: Would anyone have liked the episode more if Barry hadn't gone back in time? I'm torn between being angry about the retcon and excited about the time travel to come. I would happily watch a spin off series in which the Tsunami hit CC and Barry had to deal with crime in a disaster zone for the rest of the season without police or STAR labs back-up, but Groundhog Day sounds cool too.

It's especially weird when the one person who seemed to be blogging about it got a job as a reporter and still keeps it under wraps. I mean I know they want her writing about The Flash but I'm sure if she told them about any other metas theyd be like "yes, do that"

I don't want to look in the Arrow thread because I can't watch the episode just now, but it looks like it didn't even make 40 posts  PaganGoatPants posted:He's outrun lightning before by the way. My rational for this one is that wasn't real lightning either. I mean Barry was literally trying to hide from this guy so he could ELECTROCUTE himself, otherwise he would just ask Blackout for a quick topup

How awesome would it be if they pulled off a "52" with the new spin-off show, following the lives of the secondary characters until the main shows start back up again. And since there's time travel shenanigans already, they could even have the same main bad guy as in the comic! Bring on Mr. Mind.

It's cool as gently caress until Zoom reveals himself to actually be Eobard Thawne and then everything goes off the rails gloriously. Cisco though. Maybe he'll internalize the death strike through some crazy way and turn into Vibe?

It's probably more cause Arrow is Olly brooding and love triangles 24/7. He's just low rent Batman. This show however has been much better than it had any right to be.

I just felt kinda bad cause I was like "drat, every single time Vibe ends up getting killed in some weird rear end way". Comics? Oh, just choked to death by detachable robot hands. Tv show? Oh, no powers, just a sad scene where he gets his heart all kajibbered by a speedster. He was always the sort of hero who SHOULD have been cool, but yet, was annoying enough you wanted him to die. Cisco is awesome though, and he needs to hang around. That's pretty much the main reason I'm ok with the mini reboot. Still, massively pissed that they went with iris/barry instead of linda/barry, cause it seems like those 2 have way better on screen chemistry.

Oh yea, he's gonna be back in the next episode. No question of that. Just seems like the character is fated to die at least once per medium he gets added to. All that's left is for him to get murdered in the JL movie and the cycle will be complete.

I just Hulu'd the show and holy crap that was some of the finest television I have ever witnessed. I actually thought the show was going to end before it did which was an unexpected treat. How can they fit that much into 42 minutes blew my mind. I watched it and then re watched it with my wife. I am a grown rear end man giggling for the final 2 minutes of the show. CW what have you done to me? Did I see right that when he punches through time he is in night time but when he was running the first time it was day light?

It was night both times, but (as we found over in the Agents of Shield thread a few weeks ago) sometimes the brain plays tricks and auto-adjusts when it comes to memory.
