    Re: The Flash (Spinoff from Arrow)

    I don't mind the episode except for the very last scene.

    Everybody is crying yet Barry's all cool...like he's going to summer camp and he'll back in a few months. We all know it won't last. IDK, it seemed pointless to me.

    Forbes has been pretty critical of Flash this season but the guy makes some good points.

    The Flash could have made some hard choices in last night's season three finale, but instead it went directions that sapped most of the emotion and drama out of the end of the season.


    This particular passage cracked me up:

    The whole thing doesn’t make any sense, and you’ll notice that Wally and Jay had zero lines during this moment because it would have raised the obvious question of why neither was volunteering to take Barry’s place. I mean, Jay literally just did that earlier this season. What's his story now? "Eh, you know what? I'm good. I know you're about to get married Barry and we just did all this to save your wife, but I really want to retire to Boca Raton."

    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

      Yeah, I couldn't get his laid back demeanor in that circumstance.

        I have a question. Never read a single comic book so I don't know the history.

        If Savitar was the one that gave Wally his speed, should Wally have no powers now that Savitar does not exist?

          They at least acknowledged Wally/Jay were there already and mentioned that both said how horrible it was. Why would they volunteer to go back? Not to mention Barry wants to go because like he said, all this started because of Flashpoint, so he's accepting his punishment.

          But they couldn't have just sent Savitar back in the speedforce? No armor or anything, just him by himself. He can't escape, and nobody else needs to go to the speedforce.

            The whole scene was cheesy as heck.

            It didn't even seem like they recorded it with the rest of the episode.

            I promise its like they rushed it just because someone said the script had to be done in 3 hours.

              Yeah, there's about a .0000000000001% chance of that happening!

              I'd like to see a significant time jump (1.5-3years) with the season premiere having him out of Speed Force Prison. It would be nice if Barry was changed a bit after going through a few months of "incarceration". Maybe have him and the new Killer Frost get together?

                For Barry, even if it's just 4-5 months, wouldn't that seem like ages to him? Don't know if they could do time jump though because it seems like all the DC shows are set in present day(even Legends of Tomorrow, if they return to present day, they mention the year too, so for Flash,being in 2019 or something when everyone else is in 2017, don't know how it'd work,especially crossovers).

                But alot can still happen in 4-5 months.

                But speaking of the future, I wonder what'll happen in that "Flash Missing, Vanishes in Crisis" article. Is Barry even gonna bother trying to alter that future? Seems like he's more concerned about who wrote the article than the article itself.

                  Yeah, given the Arrow-verse alignment you'd probably have to restrict a time jump to under six months.

If someone else went into the prison, we would have had 2 out of the 3 seasons of the show where Barry isnt even the hero, and worse yet let others make the sacrifice for his mistake.

                        Has Barry ever actually defeated any villain? Reverse Flash was killed because of Eddie. Zoom was killed because of those time guys. And then Savitar killed by Iris.

                        lol, I know Barry likes DBZ, but does he have to be the same type of hero as Goku(meaning he doesn't actually defeat the main villain)

                          I thought it was a pretty good end to the season. Bummed about HR because that character was so great. The final battle was kinda ho hum and the ending was a little sappy but overall I enjoyed this season. Not sure where they are going next season but can't wait.

                            All DC shows I got no idea where they're going next year. Arrow can literally go anywhere with that ending. Flash with Barry "gone" could go many diff ways. Legends had their weird ending which doesn't lineup with flash or Arrow at all(despite that ending being in 2017 on earth-1)

                              That is a bummer.

                                They mentioned it in the previous episode about somehow stuff not affecting the future.


                                Plus this whole thing could have been for nothing. This could have been how Savitar was created. Barry goes to prison and then creates his copy to get out. So the whole thing happened as it was supposed to.
