The Flash 1x15, 1x16 review

Hey guys,

the 15th and the 16th episode of the first season are basically the 1st and the 2nd part of the same episode. They are all set in the same day relived twice by Barry who for the first time broke the space time continuum. Episode 15th left us shocked in its last 7 minutes, the best and most intense 7 minutes that I've ever seen in a comicbook adaptation. The revelation of the identity of Dr. Wells the revelation of Barry's identity to Iris and Barry travelling back in time are scenes that should be amongs the best moments of this season. Unfortuantely the second part of the episode wasn't as good as the first one and that was easy to predict. It is hard to top what happened in the Out of Time episode.

One thing that left many puzzled was that in this episode there weren't two versions of Barry and to me that is perfectly understandable when I think about. There can't be two versions of Barry in such a limited time. I believe that Barry will be able to meet a past or future version of himself only if he travels very far into the future or very far into the past otherwise his body will always merge with his past or future self.

Overall the Flash has been doing an awesome job at telling the origin story of Barry Allen and at keeping us on the edge of our seats for many months. There's still a lot we don't know about Eobard Thawne but the season finale is close and all we'll be revealed soon.

Even though it probably won't happen I would love to see way down the line a flashpoint paradox storyline which over the course of a season could influence not only the Flash tv show but also Arrow and perhaps the new untitled spinoff show and ths Supergirl tv show. We definately don't wanna lose Eobard in 7 episode and I do wanna see Flash and Zoom go at it in the past present and future.
