The Flash S01E15

TIME F**KING TRAVEL B!TCH :shock::hyper:
OMG!!! WTF!!! :hyper: :hyper: ..To Be continued... now I have to wait for another week :hissyfit:
Finally watched. CGI in flash is top notch for a tv series. /r/flashtv in reddit is already pouring with countless GIFs expressing what happened on the last episode. I've a question now.
Before Joe's kidnapping, Barry 1 (real) sees another Barry 2 (another Barry at his side). Barry 1 asks Wells about what it is, and he says it's a Speed Mirage. Episode moves on with Barry 1, and he runs back and forth on the shoreline to stop tidal wave, and thus accidentally time travels to the point where he meets another Barry. Now Barry 1 (future) sees another Barry (past) running before him, and stops for a moment to sees the same things happened before. So in this timeline, Barry 1 is Barry 2. Where's Barry 1?

About your first spoiler, I think ...

That's really a gross overlook on the part of the series. Or we might be missing something. For the most part though, it looks as if they really missed that. Flash 2 can't *become* Flash 1. How the hell a show which deals with Time Travel can make such a mistake. I have less hope for the parts dealing with Tiem Travel now. :(

About your 2nd spoiler..
I am extremely sad for that too. You CANT KILL CISCO! Btw... some optimism can be held here. Remember Flash 2 is now in the past? He might save Cisco eventually. I f**kin hope so!

But

Wells shows us how two same persons can exist and merge again. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to assume that Flash 2 to be Flash 1.

But...
When Wells shows that, he splits himself into two persons but each one of them is just one person. It just *appears* to be another person. When Flash 2 runs so fast that he accidentally uses the Speed Force to travel back in time, now at that time he sees his past version: Flash 1. Now here, Flash 1 and Flash 2 are two *separate* Flash each of them belonging to separate times but coexisting in same time. So here there should be two flashes when he stops to see the lady shouting for cab. Which we don't see.

This is totally different than what Wells shows.

This is how Time Travel works.

Exactly. What wells done is "Speed Mirage", as he termed - same person moving back and forth to appear as two separate entities. But what Flash 1 & Flash 2 are two separate persons. In comics, Flash have demonstrated this "Speed Mirage" by moving back and forth as "Barry Allen" (in his civilian clothes) and "Flash" (in his costume), so for an observer it will appear like Flash and Barry are two separate persons.

Nice trick huh? :cool:

Arrow and flash: subscribing. Btw did anyone find laurel lance irritating?
Most. I've asked the same question in Reddit as


  1. Oliver - For the five whole years, he adept himself to survive, learning tactics all the way and trained by skilled persons like Yao Fei, Shado, Slade Wilson and possibly by Maseo and Tatsu (ongoing) and by Malcolm (future, to defeat Ra's).
  2. Roy - He was raised in dangerous Neighborhood, worked injected with Mirakuru (past) and properly trained by Oliver. He was fascinated by Arrow, to become a Vigilante like him.
  3. Diggle - He was a ex-military with military training, possibly know many contacts because of A.R.G.U.S. He's also adept in handling firearms.
  4. Sara - She was trained by League of Assassins in Nanda Parbat.
  5. Felicity - Though she's brainy, not a muscle and limit herself to online tasks.
Others:

  1. Ted Grant - He appears as a boxer, but well trained in martial arts and once a Vigilante in Glades while Oliver was gone.
  2. Malcolm - Like Sara, he was trained by League of Assassins in Nanda Parbat.
Laurel: She is an attorney, and only learnt boxing from Ted Grant for few episodes.

And that's why she always keep getting her a$$ kicked.

- - - Updated - - -

Is it just me or Flash s01e15 deserves an oscar?

Oscar for? Visually it would be good. But logically, the way they handled Time Travel was disappointing.
Writers got confused with BTTF and Edge of Tomorow's logic. :(
