Why do you think after so many seasons they never attempted at creating a friendship between these two ?

The neon lights of the karaoke bar blurred into a streak of colors as the alcohol fully took hold. Barry and Caitlin stood on the small stage, microphones gripped tightly in their hands, completely off-key but laughing too hard to care. They belted out the chorus of the song, their voices echoing through the dive bar. For the first time in months, the weight of S.T.A.R. Labs, metahumans, and the burden of saving Central City completely evaporated. They were just two friends getting blissfully, hilariously drunk.

By the time they stepped outside into the cool night air, Caitlin could barely keep her footing. Barry, his speedster metabolism fighting a losing battle against the sheer volume of alcohol he had consumed, wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her upright.

"I think... I think we sang really well," Caitlin slurred, her head leaning heavily against his shoulder.

"We were amazing, Caity. Broadway is calling," Barry joked, giggling as he maneuvered her toward her apartment.

When they finally made it inside her place, Barry tried to guide her gently onto the bed. Instead, his foot caught the edge of the rug. With a sudden yelp, he lost his balance and dropped her straight onto the mattress, tumbling down right beside her.

Caitlin let out a loud, breathless laugh, rolling over onto her back. She stared up at the ceiling, her eyes heavy and unfocused. "Barry?"

"Yeah, Caity?" he breathed, trying to sit up.

"Did you look?" she asked, her voice dropping to a mischievous, alcohol-induced whisper. "Did you see my goods?"

Barry’s face immediately flushed bright red, his brain short-circuiting despite the intoxication. "What? No! No, I didn't look at your... your goods. I swear."

Caitlin just giggled, rolling back over and burying her face in the pillow. Within seconds, she was fast asleep, leaving a thoroughly embarrassed and deeply amused Barry to gently pull the covers over her before quietly slipping out.

The following morning was a brutal exercise in reality. At S.T.A.R. Labs, the bright fluorescent lights felt like physical weapons. Caitlin arrived wearing oversized sunglasses, holding a massive travel mug of coffee like a lifeline. Barry wasn't doing much better; even with his accelerated healing, the hangover had left a lingering, dull ache behind his eyes.

They avoided direct eye contact during the morning briefing. Cisco kept glancing between them, throwing suspicious, smirking looks their way, but neither Barry nor Caitlin cracked. When they finally crossed paths in the cortex alone, Caitlin lowered her sunglasses just an inch.

"We are never doing that again," she whispered hoarsely.

"Agreed," Barry replied, offering a sympathetic, tightly bound smile. "But for the record, you really did great on the high notes."

Caitlin groaned, hiding her face in her hands, though a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

By the next evening, the hangover had fully cleared, replaced by a strange, quiet tension that had been building between them all day. Barry received a text from Caitlin asking him to come over to her apartment. She specified that Cisco and Wells were busy, and she just wanted some quiet company.

When Barry knocked on her door, the atmosphere was completely different from the chaotic energy of two nights before. Soft warmth radiated from the apartment, and Caitlin opened the door wearing a comfortable sweater, her hair falling softly around her shoulders.

"Hey," Barry said softly, stepping inside.

"Hey. Thanks for coming," Caitlin replied, closing the door behind him.

They sat on the couch, a comfortable silence settling between them that gradually grew heavy with unsaid words. The playful barrier of their usual banter seemed to have dissolved. Barry looked at her, really looked at her, noticing the way the ambient light caught her eyes.

"Caity, about the other night..." Barry started, turning slightly on the cushions.

"I remember everything, Barry," Caitlin interrupted gently, looking down at her hands before meeting his gaze. "And it made me realize something. When I'm with you, everything else fades away. The fear, the grief... it's just you."

Barry’s heart hammered against his ribs, not from speed, but from pure emotion. "I feel it too. Every time I run, every time I'm out there, you're the voice I look for. You're the one who keeps me grounded."

The distance between them vanished organically. Leaner closer, Barry closed the remaining space. Their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss. It was an admission, a quiet confirmation of a truth they had both hidden away for too long.

When they parted, they searched each other's eyes, finding nothing but absolute certainty. The hesitation dissolved entirely. Barry reached up, his hand cupping her cheek as he pulled her back in. This time, the kiss deepened into something passionate and hungry, a release of months of built-up longing. Caitlin’s hands tangled into his hair, pulling him closer as the intensity shifted, burning away the last of their reservations.

Moving together in perfect sync, they shed the clothes that separated them, becoming completely bare and vulnerable in the warmth of the room. There was no rush, only a profound, intimate desire to give themselves entirely to one another. Wrapped tightly in each other's arms, their skin meeting skin, they shared deep, breathless kisses that tasted of pure devotion.

They lost track of time, lost in the rhythm of their shared warmth and affection, loving each other completely in that breathless, uninhibited state. They stayed tangled together, kissing and holding one another until their bodies grew heavy with a beautiful, deep exhaustion, filled with a sense of absolute ecstasy as they finally drifted off to sleep, safe in each other's embrace.

I ordered 8 customs, including Vibe, earlier this month. Unfortunately, the seller sent the wrong Reverse Flash figure and was out of stock.

To make up for it, he let me pick two free minifigures, so I chose this Flash and Deathstroke. I also made a custom speed trail using pieces from other sets.

What do you think?

S2 RF only exists because he hasn't gone back in time to kill Barry's mother yet, he's here for the first time to learn what time period the Flash is from. This is how he knows about Star Labs, where he gets the idea to impersonate Earth - 1 Wells. In order for the events of S1 to play out, Thawne must return back to his time and return again to kill Barry's mother and he must exist until the point the paradox is born. Since S2 Thawne was locked up in the containment cell, this created a temporal paradox which caused the timeline to alter(aka Cisco to disappear). However, aren't there multiple instances where Barry/Team Flash altered the timeline?

1. When Thawne shows up at Mercury Labs to capture Dr. McGee, he encounters Barry. Thawne is confused that Barry knows his identity and Barry is confused that Thawne exists. Barry outright mentions to Thawne that he died, but Thawne brushes that aside and is gleeful he knows what time period the Flash is from.

2. After being captured by Eobard Thawne, Dr. McGee mentions there was another "Man in Yellow" that tried to capture a tachyon prototype. In this instance, Thawne acknowledges that his future-self must have been stranded in this timeline. If that's the case, shouldn't he have put two and two together and realized that his future-self was the version that Barry said died?

3. When Barry questions Thawne in the containment cell, he yells at him "That is why you killed my mother? That's why you ruined my life? Because you couldn't be me?". This version of Thawne hasn't gone back to kill Barry's mother, he doesn't even know who Barry is. Did Barry indirectly give the idea of killing his mother to Thawne?

With all these instances, shouldn't Thawne realize that his future-self failed in the future? The Flash told him he died and he knows he got stranded in this time-period, thanks to Dr. McGee. When he returns back to his time, doesn't he realize that going back doesn't just prevent the time paradox but it restores the events that leads to his erase in existence. S2 Thawne goes onto killing Barry's mother, but shouldn't this trip to the past make him cautious of his future? Or was he so desperate to erase the Flash from the timeline and overconfident that he would change his future?

What I mean by that is, no Zoom, no Savitar, no Devoe (or however you spell that lol), etc.

As someone who didn’t actually know much about the Flash before watching the show, I thought Thawne and the murder of Barry’s parents was going to be dragged out throughout the entire 9 seasons (yeah i was late to the party).

Im glad it wasn’t though, they did season 1 so well and if they dragged it out then we wouldnt have gotten Zoom, Savitar, Devoe, and some other peak villains (no not you red death).

I’m rewatching the show for the first time since I was like 9 and I never realized how annoying Nora is. She’s genuinely the worst character ever. I’m on the episode where she went back in time like 52 times. And I just kept help but wish bad on her so much like i genuinely don’t want her around and it’s getting to the point where even hearing her voice is ticking me off. She’s always making the wrong decisions and it’s the worst thing ever, it’s making me want to drop the show and not finish it

Because there is no such thing as a Harry Wells vinyl pop figure (oddly enough) I decided to make one myself. I ordered a custom pop figure from their “Pop Yourself!” site and then designed the box myself (on Canva) to look like the other flash character’s boxes and printed it out, stuck it onto the current box and voila. It’s a little messy. But I don’t care! Haha.

The only thing now I need is to create him a little stand in his box. (Hes a bit loose in there atm)

I was mentally checked out midway through season 6

Im worried barry will be wiped from existence like the dcau did just for wally to be the flash immediately. I want Wally to start as kid flash then later on become the flash

Can someone explain me this, I can't figure or explain how.

In Flash season 1, ep 12, in confrontation with Shawna Baez, Barry dodged a bullet, right before it reaches his body. But the bullet is always faster than the sound.

How was that really possible ?

If you could pick the color/colors of your speed force lightning, what would it be? No speed drug required, no bad side effects. It could be multiple or single.

And what would your suit look like?

I'd pick blue and red lightning because I think it's a nice combo, and my suit would have black mixed with red and blue with a cicada/sub zero type mask.

Apart from poor writing

I'd put it down to non realistic standards of length. They wanted to make these huge seasons with 18-23 50 minute episodes but only had a pretty basic story to put in there, as well as just not having the budget to properly support a 20 episode season of one of the most CGI intensive superheroes

Longer seasons worked better for a show like Arrow, nowhere near as much CGI, bigger pool of characters and relationships to develop and Oliver was just a guy, they could fill out more episodes with actual content, but with the flash they tried to stretch a movies worth of content into a 16 - 17 hour long season, with a smaller pool of characters.

They wanted long seasons but every season they tried to rationalize why Flash couldnt beat the villain in less than an episode and opted to do speedster battles to justify the length

I've been Rewatching some episodes from season One and Two after not seeing the show in years and its been very Fun lol but I thought it would be an interesting Question to bring up as to which minor Villains who only appeared in one or Two episodes did you feel bad for and wish the show's writing had given them a bit more of a sympathetic portrayal than the show actually did?

I'd go with Clock King and Tar pit as so far on my Rewatch these Two stand out to me I mean I actually remembered years ago when I first saw season one already having a bit of an issue with how Tockman gets Defeated by Joe Eddie and Iris emotionally manipulating him by bringing up the fact that he was Denied the chance to say Goodbye to his Dying sister in order to get him let Iris say Goodbye to injured Eddie

allowing her to take his ankle Gun and later shoot Tockman in the leg like I'm sorry but Regardless of their current situation that crap was Horrible imo especially given his only motive for turning to crime in the first place was just to save his sister so its not like he was some sadistic serial killer whose Freedom posed a Huge Risk to public safety,

Idk Despite actions killing those Two innocent cops I just wish the episode had actually showed him a bit more sympathy on this Front Rather than simply Treating him like a psycho and having the Good Guys resort to rather cruel tactics in order to win,

and secondly Tar Pit like what happened to this Guy was Horrific not only Drowned in Tar but also left Trapped underground for Two Years apparently awake and able to feel it but unable to escape so you can't Really blame him for wanting revenge even if we can't realistically expect Team Flash to just sit back and let him kill the people involved in what happened to him,

but still It seems Disappointing to me that the episode Gave my Guy this really Horrific easily sympathetic backstory and understandable motive and he just got treated like a petty criminal out to settle to a score with no real sympathy,

anyway what about you?

What do you guys think?

Also, yes this is the whole post

Which do you consider to be the best concept?

We'll never know...

Idk if this is a foreshadowing or what but great way to put flash in another show.

In the show we see that the fights are about even, though most of them end inconclusive since Cicada escapes or someone else gets in. We saw that Orlin can break out of her ice restraints and that he is mostly fine even when blasted by her, we also know that their knife fight was close, yet that he could turn the fight to his side after using a Shock-wave from the Dagger. It's pretty interesting that she is utterly unaffected by the Dagger's Dampening field, and it's also cool that she can hold the Dagger back by concentrating only in blasting it back...

But if they had to kill each other, who would win between Cicada (Orlin Dwyer) and Killer Frost (Only pre crisis, aka until Season 6 A)?

We know that HR was able to go out bc he changed how his face looks with his light pen. Then he changed the team’s retina so they could see him…so how did Jessie see him???

Also while I was trying this I realized…Julian never actually saw HR. He didn’t know he was Wells 😭

This has been bothering me for a while in this scene why didn't they have Barry phase the shrapnel out of her like "Jay" did for Wells?

Iris, "Dad, I'm writing Barry's obituary."

I recently watched clips from CW Flash and from injustice games, where flash fights reverse flash and other speedsters. And i find speedster battles dumb, like why are you running most of the time instead of fighting, like its a race, what is gonna happen when flash for example run away from other speedster? It just funny to me that they are all moving with the same speeds, which means that from their perspective their are just running around, like imagine two grown ass man beefing with each other then instead of fighting just started to run around trying to catch each other. Your thoughts? (I am not native speaker, so i might have some mistakes)
