Okay, Henry's dead. So the man in the mask is probably another version of him, right?

 

*sigh* Black Siren's cameo was pretty useless. I did however, get a HUGE laugh when Wally took her out with his car while she was monologing.

Wow---oddly, I'm a little disappointed to have been (essentially) right about the Iron Mask Man being Jay Garrick and  Henry's doppelganger. I mean, I'm never right, LOL. Makes you wonder if the writers are running out of ideas. IMO, they picked the easiest and most predictable person for it to be. OTOH, I don't have to wonder how they're going to keep Wells on the show next season---he'll be OriginalWells version 2.0 in a time-shift storyline. Barry's going to !@#$%^&*] over the entire universe to have his mom.

The other thing I don't quite buy is that Barry's pain has sent him over some kind of edge. I don't think GG really connects to this epically painful past enough to sell that Barry would ever consider giving up a future with Iris to get his mom back. The tone on this show is too upbeat for me to really remember Barry should carry these deep wounds that drive him. That's Oliver Queen/Arrow territory. Not Flash's MO.

Whenever a show (Flash, Lost, Fringe) deals with "time" and past/present/future, it's so confusing, but I still love them.   Okay, can someone easily explain what a Time Remnant is? The Flash that sacrificed himself in the finale was a TR - where was he from? How did the Flash get him? Is it just yourself in the past? 

 

So with Barry going back to save his mother, what are the repercussions that we know of?   Why did the Flash that was looking through the door vanish? 

 

If the multi-verse as infinite Earths, how can Zoom destroy something that is infinite?

It's pretty hard to explain but I'll try: when a speedster goes back in time the past self is referred to as a time remnant.The Flash that sacrificed himself was from the past, Flash went back in time to tell him about the plan possibly going wrong. The time remnant is yourself from the past.

 

Barry rescuing his mother basically resets the events that happened in the first two seasons of Flash and presumably the other shows (Arrow, Legends, Supergirl), it was a comic called Flashpoint. The Barry that was wiped from existence was the Barry from season 1, so since the timeline that Barry was in no longer exists, he also no longer exists.

 

The Crisis of Infinite Earths series, destroyed the multiverse and combined them together.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
