"The more you time travel, the less the rules apply to you."
In other words, the Flash writers have given up on having any coherent rules on how time travel works in their universe.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

They were trying to follow coherent rules before?

I think they also gave up on a coherent plot.

Maybe we should just be glad they're speaking in coherent language. Not necessarily making sense, but at least it's something recognizable. Most of the time.

We've had multiple marker board explanations of how time travel "works" so they were at least trying to have rules, they just couldn't seem to adhere to them.
I will say this week was weirder than most with Savitar losing his memory at the same time as Barry and therefor being unable to have given Wally speed, but everyone still remembered him having speed, and Savitar even still existing despite him having no memory of Barry's betrayal (or anything else) to motivate him.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Details... Details...

Huh. I was expecting Dolph to show up again in the modern storyline, not the flashbacks.

Flash: These people need lessons in good judgment from Oliver Queen. That's how BAD their plans and ideas are.

I figure it's because everybody on Team Flash's heads keep exploding whenever they try to follow what's going on with the timeline. That can't be good for one's reasoning skills.
This is your brain... This is your brain on Flashpoint... Any questions?
