That's a mystery from the S3 Flash premiere that never got an answer. Once they left Flashpoint and re-killed Nora, Thawne kept his powers and got to run off to 2016 with Barry then to wherever he went afterwards. At the time, I accepted that as them passing the baton (ba-Thawne?) to Legends. I figured he'd get…

If you scroll to the discussion between Kenneth and I in this thread, you'll see where he points out how they seem to be having it both ways with Thawne (both Flashpoint-Thawne and suggesting it's another version) as well as me agreeing with you that time remnants exist in finite moments and therefore there could be…

Going way outside anything that's been explicitly stated on the show, I'm noticing you and I interpret time remnants differently. You talk about remnant Thawne as if his whole string of causal events is germane - as if he's one single time remnant moving through the Eobard's Greatest Hits sub-timeline. To you his…

Don't worry about that. There are assuredly other Reverse-Flash time remnants out there on different spots of the timeline.

The last time we saw Flashpoint-Thawne, he was running off after having dropped Barry in 2016. He'd already killed Nora, but Barry's meddling led to a situation where Flashpoint-Thawne was fully aware of his situation and still had powers. Therefore there's no need for him to take on Harrison Wells' identity to build…

Don't worry. I've never been worked up enough to require relaxation.

Black Flash isn't a Time Wraith as far as we know. He seems to be the Speed Force's enforcer, doing whatever the Speed Force needs. Need to stop Barry from rescuing Wally? Send Black Flash. Need to chase down a rogue time remnant? Send Black Flash.

Nope. Can't watch that again. I'll get to the Jean Grey orgasm part at the end and my childhood will lose another ounce or two of innocence.
*clicks link anyway, must rock out to theme song*

I like the characters and they thoroughly nail the humor these days. I dig those aspects. I just want the storytelling to be on those same levels. It's like your slacker friend that has a lot to offer, but isn't being all they can be. You're almost there, Legends. Apply yourself.

"If you think about it Arrow shouldn't even be a show, since he could just call Barry who will be there in a few seconds to solve the situation."

For me, the time travel rules and a compelling narrative are inextricably linked on a time travel show.

They had the same issue last week in the destroy/save the Spear showdown by the furnace. That really shouldn't have been any kind of contest. Most of us give The Flash crap for always having a speedster Big Bad for the season, but it's hard to put a speedster in a room with humans or even other metas and not have…

Prime-Thawne as you call him was Wells-Thawne and he went bye-bye. The way The Flash set up time remnants was that they only exist in the minimum number of moments the erased individual must be present for the timeline to hold together. We just don't know how many instances of a remnant Thawne that means. For sure any…

If they could've figured out the effects, you know they'd have been happy to set Tumblr on fire with that.

Yep. One Eobard should be enough to mess them all up badly and that's why the run away from Black Flash timer served a purpose this season. It was nuts to me when they ran in so many Thawnes. When he said he was leaving for backup, I was expecting surprise cameos from other Arrowverse villains for the big battle. When…

Always the most constructive type of reply on the internet.

Logic = Fun
Fun = Fun
No logic = No or reduced fun

What I learned in last week's episode: if this show were dimension hopping between alternate Earths every week, I'd like Legends of Tomorrow as much as everyone else seems to. That was just a small taste, but I'd like to see it all the time. Go to Earth-6 one week to a world where every citizen is a meta, Earth-42 the…

That was aggressively illogical. By that I mean it made no goddamn sense whatsoever. Let's just start towards the end with the very large misunderstanding by the Legends creative staff: Reverse-Flash is supposed to exist. Black Flash isn't around to kill Thawne. He's after him to take Eobard back to where he's…

I seem to want different things from this series than others. This was my favorite episode of the whole season. Alternate realities are way more fun than time traveling.
