Ahh ok. I mean I briefly read his wiki article before I watched the show, so I realized he must be vastly different than his comic counterpart, and honestly I like this version. I think it's a lot better for a serialized TV show.

From someone who's never read them I love the show, isn't he like a giant asshole in the comics that doesn't care about humanity at all?

Coming through late on this so excuse the time gap, but in Season 1 they mention New York to Europe was about 2 hours. It was episode 2 or 3 I believe.

Yeah and seeing the way flashpoint worked, they would have known if something changed for her to be alive.
Time travel man.

I think in Season 2, episode 10. Don't know if they were living together, but Barry wakes up from that nightmare with her in bed. Same episode she leaves the show I think, but still.

Oh for sure. Which is why the whole bit during the civil war where the master wanted her alone made a perverted type of sense.

No I know I don't mean it needs to be addressed in the review, it's just a slightly odd part of the show. Doesn't need to turn it into a social justice diatribe like him though, you're right.

To be fair it is a little odd to see Jax or Amaya just hanging around in a Chicago club in the 20s and nobody saying anything. I know they touched on it slightly in the Nazi episode and more in the Civil War, but it is a little odd.

Ah ok hadn't seen that, would make sense that she's real in some way then.
Assuming either flashpoint or Black Siren.

Is she? They never really touched on whether they repatriated them back to Earth-Two. Would be weird if they kept them all on Earth-1.

Very true. Who knows at this point.

Yeah honestly any of those could be plausible at his point.

Banged his best friend's girlfriend literally the night before he died too, good to see he's still got that killer instinct.

Yeah I remember in the comics he was the hero with the killing problem, and he had only killed 14 (on panel). One of them being our current psychopath, Prometheus (albeit a much different character in the comics, he took out most of the justice league minus Bats+Superman.)

Yeah they didn't even try to hide the fact the DNA sequenced was literally just a cash register with a blue light.
I mean they couldn't paint it or anything?

Maybe totally-not-shady reporter Susan drugged that Russian vodka they focused the camera on for a few seconds too long, and he's hallucinating.
Or Black Siren traveled to Earth-1 for some reason.
Or Barry's shenanigans have fucked everything up again.
God he's kind of a dick isn't he.

Very true, Barry does also keep dozens of metahumans in 5x5 cells with nothing else in them. Or did for a time at least.

No it's just some weird inconsistency from the show tbh. Although I prefer it over the whole "I can't be close to anyone" attitude he used to have.

I mean him and Patty were literally already sleeping and living together. It's just the inconsistency of the show that's amusing to me.
Also at the moment they don't end up marrying, Barry showed Oliver the future newspaper without her at the byline.

Thawne/Wells also owned a fair amount of other real estate in the city. And the Hall of Justice. So he should still be quite wealthy outside of Star Labs.
