The Flash - Season 1

Although I do question if his plan to stop his mom from dying is really going to work. How does he know that things aren't playing out exactly like they did before?

He doesn't. He's just hoping.

Yeah, it's Barry's inherent sense of optimism.

When it comes to Barry trying to save his Mom, I have a felling that they might take some ideas from the Flashpoint comic event. He'll actually change time and save his mother, but in the end time will change for the worse. Maybe he ends up dying as a child (remember, he apparently saved his young self originally, so maybe this time he saves his mom but his younger self dies). Or maybe just having his Mom alive changes history too much. A world with metahumans, but no Flash, leading to big problems?

I have no idea if this is where they'll go with this obviously, but I think it seems plausible. In the end, he'd have to let his Mom die to restore history. The idea of Flash screwing up his own time line and having to fix it, while not original, could be interesting. They could even have alt-Ollie show up, maybe as a much darker Arrow trying to deal with metahumans. It could work, although its all just a theory I have based on the time travel stuff.

I think you're probably close on this. At this point there doesn't seem to be much doubt we're going to get some kind of Flashpoint story arc.
 
Wha are the chances we will see him go back in time for the finale, actually succeed in saving his mom and then returning to Biff's... er. Well's world in the present for the cliffhanger? ;)
 
8 more weeks of anticipation?

You know what would be Fantastic?

What if after saving his Mommy, that when he gets back to the Future (Harrison's Doc Brown impersonation is hardly likely something that you'd hear form a temporal refugee? Eddie on the other hand doedn't know the name of Han Solo's ship.) that the world has been taken over by tallking apes.

So if young Barry dies how could he become the Flash let alone go back in time and try and save his younger self? It's bad enough Barry created the paradox in the first place, but I doubt if it's possible for him to change time.

Well, they could easily say something about his traveling through time doing something to keep him from disappearing if his younger self actually died, or to keep his old memories if he changes the timeline so his Mom lives. Its a superhero story, whatever it does with time travel is going to have to be explained with fictional super science or stuff like that anyway.
 
Yup, May suspension of disbelief had a bit of a second long lag whenever one of the scientists was asked if timetravel was in any way possible and they almost immediately said yes and Stein even got excited abot Barry running so fast he would break the time barrier to get on the highway back to the past.
 
It's very likely that Wells' target that night was the younger Barry and the adult Barry was just there to save his younger self. I very much doubt that Barry can change history.

Was it a red blur or a yellow blur that brought him out to the street?

We saw time change when Barry lost his powers.

The Flash Museum, if it's the Flash Museum, didn't vanish when the future it came from, if it's from the future, didn't just change by "ended" when there was no Flash to avert the Crisis.

It's likely that when Barry who is the Flash gets back to the Future, that there will be a Barry who is not he Flash standing in for him, indigenous to that timeline, who will die after an episode or three after some comical attempts at sharing their life.

Although, without the Starlabs accident, there are no metahumans, so who is the flash in the New timeline going to face off against every week?

It looked red to me, unless you're suggesting that Barry killed his own mother. It's pretty clear that in the time it took for Barry to dae his younger self, Wells was able to kill Barry's mother.
 
Chase's character must really like Joe to let him keep his freaky crime scene hologram show in her living room.
 
They're boyfriend-girlfriend now.

Why would a Flash kill a woman with a knife?

No matter the super speed shit going on, Henry Allen might just have still been a perfectly ordinary bloke who had to kill his wife. It happens every day in every world.

If the knife was brought through time from the future or the past then it's carbon dating would be wrong relative to everything else.

Like a religion I believe that you can't time travel and kill Hitler and if pressed, you have to save Hitler if possible, at least until the last couple hours in the bunker before his "apparent" suicide, at which point I'm cutting off fingers and making him eat them.

If Barry and Harry both travel back in time to "save" Nora, and no matter what spat they are in with each other, if Hank looks at them and realizes that they are trying to break time, then it falls on him to save the universe, even if to do so, his wife must die.

There's a thought...Henry killed his wife...Barry goes back to save her...Wells goes back to stop him from saving her.
 
Harry has been training Barry to increase his speed without which time travel will have been impossible.

Harrison Wells wants Barry in that room 12 years ago, and he has a few reservations that Barry can time travel without training.
 
I don't see any reason why Henry would kill Nora, there's been nothing revealed about their relationship that would explain why he'd kill her. And we've seen that he's outside of the circle that Barry and Wells make in the family room. And really the police did a poor job of working the crime scene, they should seen and tested the blood on the wall.

Maybe not because he WANTS to , but so Barry can become the Flash, and save the world. we'll have to look at the old footage, and see how surprised he is at being arrested or the whole situation. He certainly has taken Barry being the Flash VERY well.

Also, Barry is running out of Red suits, right? Maybe he wears the Reverse Flash costume to go back and make sure history goes right, and fights himself?
 
5 people in the room.

Young Barry Allen.

20something year old Barry Allen.

Henry Allen.

The Reverse Flash who is 90 percent Harrison Wells.

Nora Allen.

...They are all suspects.

:)

Someone killed Nora unless she is not dead.

How could her death have been faked?

Harrison Multiplexed her, killed the fake, and took the real Nora with him to the Future.

:D

All these names Sisco is "inventing" seems like the names that these Characters should have always had, but Sisco is a moving part that might not have been so involved in other timelines. Is Harrison feeding names and catch phrases into Sisco's mind hypnotically while the kid sleeps so that events in the present match up with his future news papers interpretation of history?

There's a red blur and a yellow one so I dbout if Barry is wearing a yellow suit. And how could Henry possible know in the past that the grown Barry would become the Flash? And there were two types of blood on the wall so no Barry didn't fight himself.
