Anyone watch it? I'm confused? 3 months only? What happened to his childhood? When he saved his mom where did he go?
Here are my assumptions: Preface - Barry is in his current timeline before he decides to save his mom. 1. Barry has changed the past and recreated the future. The intended consequence of saving his mom. 2. Having saved his mom, Barry grabs Reverse Flash, and they head into the NEW current timeline. The timeline from which he originally decided to go back and save his mom. This connects to my last assumption. 3. By going in to a new future, the powers which he brought with him(which in this timeline never occur) are diminishing. And there are probably more consequences but we may or may not see those played out later on. 4. At one point, in this new future, Iris says where did you come from or something similar. I believe the future has played out the way it was going with the Flashpoint timeline and Barry just shows up and continues on. By that I mean the basics still occur - he goes to school - college - ends up in forensics. So his childhood has already happened, again, only in a new timeline. The variable stuff - getting Iris namely and being the Flash - have/will not. 5. Reverse Flash, much like Barry did, takes them to the point of Mrs. Allen's death, assures it happens, and then Barry returns back to the Revised current timeline from which he initially left. Only - we have no idea what consequences of going back, changing the past twice, will be. It should be evident the Reverse Flash will probably be around this timeline ...
3 episodes in and thing are moving very, uh slowly..... Good to have Tom Cavanagh back in the fold, which apparently the Flashpoint did not seem to happen on Earth 2, and we get another speedster in the mix...
may sit this episode out... http://comicbook.com/2017/01/08/supergirl-flash-musical-crossover-episode-villain-revealed/
mark you calendar, March 21st is the date http://comicbook.com/2017/01/20/release-dates-director-set-for-the-flash-supergirl-musical/
The goodwill generated by the first season (especially the emotional payoff in the season finale) is gone. Season 2 got a pass because of King-Shark (my 10 year old self was in awe). Season 3 - I gave up way before the break and have no interest in watching the show unless they make some dramatic changes. Like cutting the story arcs into 10 or so episodes and do away with the revolving door of central city sprinters.
I'm a few episodes behind. Just saw the one where they went to Gorilla City on Earth-2. That's a cool idea, but not well executed - the effects were crap - although we really shouldn't expect more from a show on the CW. Some of the writing has been piss poor. In one episode, Iris was going after some deadly story and said she wasn't afraid of dying. In the very next episode, she was weeping in fear that she was going to die. Some of the acting has been poor. I really want to like Wally and Jesse but they have no chemistry. I'm still watching because it's cool to see things from the comics that you never thought you'd see on TV - Gypsy! Gorilla City! Savitar! - but the execution isn't that great. Cutting the season into two has done wonders for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The two arcs this season have made it much more watchable than Flash.
Finally got around to watching last weeks episode, woof, that was BAD. All the brooding, the inconsistency in the timeline and reactions. That was just a bad episode.
not sure who is still hanging with the the CW Arrowverse.... but I'll just leave this here.... http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/03/01/the-flash-run-iris-run-photos-iris-west-superhero/
