McSpanky posted:Did I hear correctly that Prof. Stein said Barry would have to generate 6.2 tera-electronvolts to close the black hole about to destroy Earth? Because a TeV can be generated by a hilariously small amount of mechanical power. You'd have to go at crazy unheard of relativistic speeds of up to MACH 2!

Good drat I loving hope they do a live action adaptation of the Brave and the Bold's "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster" episode now!

Great episode, loved all of it. Even the cliffhanger ending which I had a feeling was coming but still made me say "Noooooo". Eddie went out like a hero, and the scene with Barry and his mom was legitimately heartbreaking. Nice first season, Flash! It has been awesome to have a FUN superhero show that is also good. Fingers crossed for Supergirl!

Fantastic ep! But I really don't understand how Barry can still have his powers when he comes back to the present if Wells/Thawne never exists/existed. 4 months til we get an answer on that... Also, really struck me as dishonorable Barry and friends just leaving Eddie's body there to be sucked into the black hole

I'm pretty sure Season 2 is going to begin with Barry waking up somewhere which we then find out 60 seconds later is actually Earth-Two

I'm thinking that opens up the option for a TACHYON POWERED EDDIE THAWNE WITH BLACK HOLE BRAIN DAMAGE to come up and RF all up in dis bitch. He got moved OUTSIDE OF TIME, so Eobard doesn't exist but that's also how he runs fast. No speed force for him.

I like that they're hinting that Jay Garrick's fought RF before, but how does that scene work? Garrick sees a wormhole open and just tosses his hat in, just in case there are any villains on the other side to be spooked out? I also wonder whether the emotional climax of this episode would have been ruined if it had instead been Eddie shrieking at the top of his lungs and holding his groin while RF phased out of existence.

The Flash always existed, even without Wells' particle accelerator fuckery. So just erasing Thawne wouldn't mean Barry Wasn't the Flash. Now, why nothing seemed to change? Idunno. Maybe they're going for a BttF riple-change style effect, and the singularity is a consequence of Eddie's actions (or the effect of some version of Barry trying to fix this?)

That was really cool. Kind of an abrupt end, but the VFX work on the singularity was surprisingly great for a CW TV show, and the sheer awesome imagery of Barry running into a black hole was loving RAD. Also, RIP Eddie. They never made him the bad guy, ever, and that's definitely to their credit. Eddie grandfather paradox'd Eobard, and it was so superheroic the only way Barry could possibly top it was by stopping a loving BLACK HOLE. This show rules.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it was light on action in the first three/fourths is because they blew half of the season's FX budget in the final part.

Alright so I'm not so mad now. But it still would have been nice if Barry had some other reason why he had to run inside the black hole, like it sucked up Joe or something. I like how the lightning near the beginning was red too,

Byers2142 posted:Actually, maybe that's what we're seeing. If the timeline of the show is one designed by Eobard, mandated by his very existence, then his removal makes it a timeline that should not be. The second wormhole, the singularity, it's time throwing a fit and erasing a world that should not exist. It's the paradox made tangible. That's what Barry's racing now, he's racing to stop the annihilation, to prevent the timeline's collapse and anchor a world that can not be. He's creating the Multiverse. You know what, I'm gonna go with this.

Having Wells hang out on Thea's couch all season would be a lot of fun. The finale felt like it was paced too slow at the beginning, but the only time wasted was the Ronnie/Snow wedding, which, given Ronnie's absence from Legends of Tomorrow, seems like it was building towards something that we never got to see. The ending was great - and the perfect point to stop given what unfolded. If Barry had saved his mother and screwed up the timeline, we would have needed a better idea of where things stood. Cliffhangers can work as season finales, as we weren't denied an ending to this chapter of the story. Whatever is going on is a whole new beginning, and worth leaving for next season.

I'm only 10 minutes into the episode but I don't really like Flashdad's "everything happened for a reason" bullshit especially because what happened to them was some time travelers coming around and changing history to begin with.

I still don't understand why RF was so mad when Future Barry ran little Barry down the road. Why was that some major blockage that meant he couldn't kill him any more? Sure, he was about to run out of speed force - but he didn't know that

The dude's been in prison for 15 years for a crime he didn't commit and he's only got two things to live for, his son and the heartfelt belief that it's somehow all for the best in the end. His pained expression of "I have to believe that" says it all, as terrible as it is it's the world he knows and made peace with, he's simply afraid of rolling the dice again and getting something even worse.

Why on earth did they even let Wells out of his cell? I mean he contributed to the effort in that he rebuilt the accelerator and it was all his plan, but him being allowed to go roam in any time he pleased never really struck me as a particularly bright idea, yet no one at any point seemed to be opposed to it.

That was not the emotional climax of the episode. That honor belongs to Barry tearfully letting his mom die so that he can go back to the timeline he knows.

Yeah it kind of does seem he could have just been left to rot in his cell. Unless the idea was his time machine was supposed to close the wormhole. Also, why couldn't Wells just run in the accelerator himself? He's clearly faster than Barry.

I guess all the stuff early in the season with the tachyon device was him trying to juice himself up enough so that he could do it himself, but then he found out it wasn't really working too well so back to plan A

Wouldn't Eddie simply committing in that moment to never have kids have the exact same effect on the timeline? Also: A black hole that can be destroyed by runs-fast. And, how is none of that extremely fast spinning debris he's running on slamming him in the face? Whatever, I love this show.

There's a fairly decent chance you'd not make yourself entirely infertile by shooting yourself in the dick. The safer bet is to just off yourself. Of course, personally I'd try the other option first, but he didn't have a lot of time. Goddamn you writers for that cliffhanger. When is season 2 again?
