But Miss Teschmacher could mention 2 weird people appearing out of thin akr beating the crap out of each other with superpowers and disappearing again.
Won't also happen unless relevant in a conversation, unlikely but at least possible.
Spoilers The Flash - Season 3

If I recall...She was hired under Cat. So maybe she got scared, cleaned the mess and had the table replaced ASAP, and was hoping that Jimmy wouldn't be in the office for a while, and wouldn't notice
I couldn't find the clip on You Tube but I was going to post the scene from STM where Superman grabs the Hackensack Missile and throws it into space and Lex bellows: 'MISS TESSMARCHER!'. That would have been a very appropriate response to your quote

Well, in my mind, I already know everything I need to about Earth 19..... it had a blight that wiped out coffee, and is so paranoid after an invasion from another Earth that they over react to anything related to interdimensional travel.
I watched that Earth for a few years on Fringe.....
Makes me wonder what the source of their super humans is, and whether or not Walter Bishop had anything to do with it....
I know this is more likely and my first reaction was wrong, by my initial thought was Apokolips!
Maybe it's a good thing they don't have coffee.
I agree with the AV Club reviewer that last week's ep was lame and dull, with lots of tired, recycled secrecy melodrama and a totally unengaging FOTW. And for a show that's thrown some dumb ideas at us over the past few years (magnetic Christmas presents, anyone?), phasing the entire train, which not only works despite being made of vastly different materials, but fails to liquify any of the affected non-speedster humans, was a whole new, worse flavor of stupid. A big step down from the humor and freshness of "Dead or Alive".
You know it's too bad that dimension-hopping' sequence couldn't have included a few more Earths with the hints as to which Earth it was taking the form of music queues from DC films/TV shows, for instance Hans Zimmer's Batman score from 'The Dark Knight Trilogy' or John Williams' 'Superman' theme. They could even have had them as Lego figures (of course that would have taken time and money to animate and maybe pushed the gag too far) as a way of plugging 'The Lego Batman Movie'.
It would have been neat to see some red skies foreshadowing with them landing on an earth where the anti-matter wall is creeping along.
Not a coincidence, since former Fringe writer-producer Zack Stentz is now on the Flash staff. He's probably responsible for those winks and nods to his old interdimensional stomping grounds.
Well, phasing is a nonsense idea from the start. The idea that you can make solid objects' molecules pass through each other intangibly if you vibrate them fast enough is gibberish. The conceit is that, since solid matter is mostly empty space, it should be possible for the particles to pass between each other unaffected. But the fact is, the thing that makes matter solid in the first place isn't the particles, it's the fields of force between them. When you press your hand against a surface and it resists your push, that's the electron shells of its surface atoms electrically repelling the electron shells of your hand's surface atoms. And there's no way to overcome that electrical repulsion with mechanical vibration. Okay, since the Flash's powers have been retconned as somehow electrical in modern times, you could pretend that the "speed lightning" or whatever is altering the electric fields of the body, but that would probably just make it fall apart, because those fields are what hold our particles together in the first place.
So you might as well complain that a wizard's magic spell to make the train intangible shouldn't have affected all the components equally. It's just a plot device in a fantasy story.
All of this is still conforming almost perfectly with the alternate universe from Fringe, which WAS invaded both decades AND years ago by Walter Bishop and his cortexiphan powered superhumans, leading to their paranoia, a society with a lot more survellience then ours, and huge penalties for breaches that could break the fabric of the universe (the cause of the coffee blight to begin with.) Makes me wonder, would Earth 18 or 20 be the standard Fringe blue universe, does Earth 19 have blimps like Earth 2, and which universe would have an Observer-type species? Does DC comics have any characters/races that are like the Observers?
Sorry, love Fringe and having fanboy moments of speculation and make believe...
But those incursions were in 1985 and 2010, while the invasion of Earth-19 was in 1991-2. So yes, there are homages, but it can't be an exact match because Bad Robot would sue them.
I can buy that Barry's body is magic enough to phase through stuff, along with his suit for obvious visual reasons. I can't buy that he's able to extend that magic to a freaking train full of people.
It could match "exactly" as long as no actual direct characters and events are mentioned. People speak in round, vague numbers. Not sure exactly how any invasion date for Earth 19 was established with the bare bit of info given.... IMO, 85 and '91 are close enough for any backdoor homages/crossovers/shout outs.
As for comic books, there are already cases of
But its the same as what allows his suit - either by physical contact, or, by a speed force bubble/layer around him that extends to what he immediately touches. its the same thing that allows him to run fast while carrying/accompanying someone, without leaving them torn to shreds, either.
If the train phased through everything else, how did it stay on the tracks?
Speed Force magic.
The same way nobody ever falls through floors and decks of the Enterprise when accidentally out of phase ?
Maybe the phasing effect is polarized, so it only applies horizontally.
