Yeah -- he can't do that, right? Except he did.
'The Girl in Question'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Not even a proper cliff hanger.
HAHAHAHAHA okay, writers. I did not see that coming. I was banking on Fringe-style AU where Barry's mom lived and his dad died instead or something.
So, if Eobard Thawne never existed, uh, who built the STAR Labs? 'Cause the original Wells wasn't supposed to have built it until years later, right? Well, I guess there are more pressing questions to answer like "lol black hole on top of Central City". But seriously, I know they have Barry perform ridiculous feats, but he cannot reverse a fucking black hole, yo.
So many good moments tonight. I was totally expecting the episode to end with Barry saving his mom and coming back to a completed F-ed up future and Cisco being the only one who knew how it happened.
There's still some head-scratching paradoxes involved (such as Vonnie's question about STAR Labs) but yeah, black hole kind of takes precedence.
I do have to wonder if Eddie's going to return in some fashion, since they made such a big deal about his body getting sucked into the wormhole. Also, if Thawne turned back into himself as he was being erased, that likely means the real Wells is alive again somewhere, which I'm good with (even it means Tom Cavanaugh will have to reign in the creepy next season.)
It's a rule. No body means the door is open for a return, especially when a wormhole is involved. Which probably means Eobard could come back, as well.
I wanna know about the original Flash helmet.
I AM SO CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS?!?!?!
What was the Hitchhiker's reference?
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
Wow, that episode broke me. I can't imagine what it took for Barry to make the decision that he did. I really thought he was going to change something significant in the past and come back to a completely different present. I couldn't even get too wrapped up in the wedding because I assumed it would all be erased by the end of the episode.
Thanks. I missed that line, wasn't paying enough attention.
