Nothing pisses me off more than the idea that this season, the final season, the season already has way fewer episodes than a normal season; for some reason needed THREE filler episodes. Even one filler would be too much. I didn't particularly like the Red Death arc but at least it was trying to do something. Why on Earth would they write and approve THREE random episodes that do nothing for the story but waste space that could have been used to set up this final arc instead of jumping right into it. As much as I love this latest episode, it would have been better served coming after one or two setup episodes about the Reverse Flash and his need to ruin Barry's life, Barry going missing, etc. I'm still hoping they do something to pay off the "Flash Vanishes" story that was pretty much erased after Crisis, which the show had been building up to for so long with no payoff (I'm still pissed they thought it would be good to just disregard it completely after such a long buildup). Even though it seems unlikely now, if Flash actually vanishing and the series ends with Barry returning years in the future (I believe originally he came back after 25 years or so), I'd more or less be satisfied.

[@justinsaehoon]

I was just thinking - in 1x23 barry interacts with norra as she is dying but as we know from this episode, season 9 barry interacts with norra but she doesn’t know he’s her son. So when norra is dying and season 1 barry comes to her, she’s already seen the face and maybe that’s why she’s not shocked as to season 1 barry claiming he’s her son. Just a thought - idk if I articulated this well

When you said "where was this quality the last 3 years" I felt that. Clearly they can achieve that but chose not to for some reason. The Flash is still one of my top 5 superhero TV shows all time. The first 3 seasons had a special thing going on with a great cast chemistry and quality seasons. I felt like they didn't count on 9 seasons and didn't know what to do after Crisis except change half the cast. Us "loyalist" carried the show to 9 seasons. Now all they have to do is surprise us with Cisco in the finale and everything will be balanced.😂

My theory for this episode is that there still is an “original” Barry out there. As Thawne has mentioned in the past things going differently, like the particle accelerator going off earlier or Crisis happening earlier as well. I think of it like a Sonic ring where he runs in and then is unable to get out, constantly going in a circle. But the loop is time and Sonic is original Barry and every time he goes around is another loop in the timeline. Not sure if this makes sense since I’m tired rn

As a hater of the show since s3, but a lover of S1-S2, i agree this episode is really great, so i hope 4 in a row, as a great finality. But there is no way 4 episodes redeem this season, with the awful Red Death arc, or redeem the show itself being trash since years. I would agree it gives a great way to let it go, to end a loop of a great S1 with great finale series episodes. But considering the whole garbage it was (beside maybe 2-3 great episodes per season), redemption isn't on my list of word. If they are able to produce episodes this quality, why did we have so much trash until now? This isn't a budget problem, you see the quality in the writing for this episode, but the budget don't really variates.

[@lucentnether9154]

Another thing I found weird after Barry failing to run back to his own time is the fact that he went to ask Joe for Tina McGee's coordinates. He could've run to the CCPD archive and looked for the intel or (if she lives in Central city) could've run through the entire city until finding her. And why after seeing the date, he suddenly dropped all of that. He knows it is the date where his parents will get killed and he also knows that he can't do anything about it. So he should've sticked to his starting plan to try to run back to his own time without interfering.

[@Why_Not_8744]

There was an original timeline. In that Barry became the flash in 2020 and remained active until 2024 when he died in crisis. Within that time frame he must've interfered with thawnes plan on killing his youngerself. The young barry that has grown in the current barry has not only disrupted the timeline since then, but with the crisis event merging earth 1 and 38 resulted altering history. The original timelne no longer exists, but current barry is one of the few being able to remember precrisis events along with experiencing his mothers murder 3 seperate times, knowing how that night plays out. This allows him to replace the place of the barry from the OG timeline while keeping things intact to not alter history more than it should completing his history making it come full circle.

[@vngaming255]

I can only imagine that we were theorising about an original timeline and the show runners were like "Wut? Where did you get original timeline from?" but that moment after all we watched for many many years, that was satisfying. Watching it from everyone's pov except for the Future Barry Allen that actually was there, constantly wondering what his POV would've been like only to have Season 9 start with Barry Applying for the job of Director of Central City Police: CSI Division and then this scene, it really moulds Barry from the Early Days Flash to the Experienced. Now thinking back to Gideon's words, he is the Director of Central City Police CSI Division and a Founding Member of the Justice League (i'm assuming that's what gideon said before they were cut off) and it just perfectly shapes him into what has become. He feels like the Future Flash but at the same time he feels like the current flash. The Flash we grew with. While I do have some small things I wish they did, with their budget this was perfect. The Nostalgic Music, the Season 1 Barry coming in to remind us of where he was and how far he's gone since then and getting our Barry to stop Season 1 Barry just like in Season 1 when I personally looked at the Future Flash stopping him and being confused as to why and viewing him as the Experienced and Future Flash. This entire journey perfectly moulded Barry Allen and it's been an honour watching his entire journey from start to finish. From Reverse Flash to Zoom to Savitar to The Thinker to Cicada to Bloodwork to Godspeed to many many other villains. I'm proud to have stuck around this entire journey from beginning to end.

The Barry from the original line comes from a portal and for some reason never appears and the Barry we know from the series has to impersonate him to form a new savitar-style cycle. If you remember the Barry of the future comes from a portal while the Barry of the series was already there long before, so the original Barry we will never see him and he will never appear

[@mang4260]

But, isn't it a problem to considerate the original Barry (coming from a world where his mother wasn't murdered by Thawn), was coming from a portal following Thawn? I mean the "portal" thing from S1, i think they just forget it to connect it for this episode, but the Flash in S1 doing the hand gesture and the Flash here being the current Flash are the same, not different ones. I think we never saw the original Flash in fact, at no point. Because the murder of Nora is a fixed point, so the Flash from the original timeline can't exist in a world where the current Flash exists. In fact, he disappeared in S1, forever, the moment Thawn changed the timeline and made the murder of Nora a fixed point.

It has been a long time since I’ve seen season one, and I haven’t watched Flash consistently since Season 2. But I was under the impression that it was explicitly stated in S1 that Thawne orchestrated the particle accelerator incident so that Barry would get his powers earlier than he was supposed to. Thus Thawne altered the timeline when he killed Nora Allen, and stole Wells’ identity. That’s why people were saying the Barry from those flashback scenes was from an “original” timeline where Barry got his powers independently of Thawne, Thawne and Barry became enemies and Thawne tried to kill Barry as a child. It wasn’t a temporal loop that “always” happened. Even though that sounds like a cool way to end the show, that they clearly didn’t plan ahead of time

The "original timeline" i think does exist, think about it. The suit change is probably becuase its a different timeline. You have to remember barry has changed timelines a lot.

It's not Because the OG Barry timeline was never shown and the flash that we never saw never had his parents killed and og flash became flash in 2020 unlike our Barry who became one In 2014 .

[@OmarO_721]

@@chewwiezonyt354 I’ll be honest I’m not 100% sure myself. But basically Thawne killing Nora is a fixed point in the timeline it’s always meant to happen. The Barry that fights Thawne did not come from Crisis 2024, but he was transported there by the entity in the Blue Crystal. After killing Nora, Thawne loses his speed, Barry disappears (because of the blue entity), Thawne steals Well’s body, Season 1 events of The Flash begins, and the story is thus… It’s a loop 🔁. If it helps, think of Terminator series. Skynet sends a T-800 back in time to kill John Connor, and in response John sends Kyle Reese (his own father) in time to stop them. In the past, Sarah and Kyle give birth to John Connor, and the parts from the future T-800 were used as a foundation for Skynet’s birth. Practically both John and Skynet ensured their own existence by sending Kyle and T-800 back in time, and the cycle repeats

Im glad they got rid of the filler stuff first in the episode

[@insideartist3374]

There was an original Flash as reverse flash stated back in Flashpoint, however the reason why we see season 9 flash in the start is because of the bootstrap paradox.

[@StormPrime]

What I love and both hate is that it’s not “that” flash but a different one. “That” flash is from a timeline where Nora lived. This Barry had his mother die

[@kingtchala6832]

[@AnakinSkywaIker66]

The reason these last 2 episodes were so good..was bc it’s actually focused on the main character. The show has been lacking on making Barry the most important part and tried branching off to people we don’t care about. Hopefully they learned their lesson and the last 3 episodes are also focused on Barry and the best villains.

It has to be. OG Timeline: Barry becomes the Flash in 2020 and travels back in 2024 to 2000 to fight Thawne. S9 Timeline: S9 Barry from 2023 is sent to 2000 and does the same events of OG Barry. What happened to OG Barry then? Those aren't the same therefore something changed. It's either a retcon from Crisis or it's a plot hole. Pick one either works. It seems to me that they changed it to where OG Barry never went back to stop Thawne in the OG timeline post-crisis

[@cameronbaker97]

I do think there was an original timeline, but with Nora's death and even Crisis, it doesn't exist anymore.

[@SkylineK]

*No there's still a plot hole* In the original season 1, Barry and Eobard both come out of a time portal and the implication of the original season 1 is that Barry was destined to be the flash and it was NOT contingent on Eobard killing Nora Allen and creating the particle accelerator explosion. The season 9 Barry that is placed in 2000 DID NOT come out of a time portal with Eobard. Additionally, season 9 Barry is a flash that was created BECAUSE of Eobard killing Nora Allen and creating the particle accelerator explosion. Season 9 Barry placed in 2000, is incongruent with Barry in the original season 1. The two Barrys do not overlap and therefore there is a plot hole. They tried to explain March 2000 (season 1) using March 2000 (season 9) but it doesn't work

[@shadowphoenix2328]

That original timeline was a paradox and was erased from history when the series first started.

[@SkylineK]

@shadowphoenix2328 Nope that's not true because Eobard revealed why he hates the flash in season 8. The flash that stole his glory is not the future version of our Barry Allen. That flash is the Barry Allen who was always destined to be the flash. That same Barry Allen who was always destined to be the flash is the Barry Allen that chased Eobard through the time portal in the original season 1. This means that timeline was not erased when the show started. Eobard's reason for hating Barry proves that the original timeline where Barry is destined to be the flash, is still there.

I think one thing you miss that tanks the Joe and Cecile scenes is the complete lack of chemistry the two actors have and the director's lack of adjustments to that. You can try and minimize lack of chemistry, mostly by not framing both actors in the same shot, but this show ALWAYS frames them together and magnifies it...

One thing ill say thought is that i think there was an original timeline Barry, since crisis happened years early, and since Thawne's timeline got destroyed in season 1, I do think the future Barry from the end of season 1 was a different Barry, buuut considering every single season stuff is retconned via time travel, technically the Barry we know has changed himself plenty of times and the "original" Barry probably wasn't the original anyway as im sure he time traveled too
