I don't know why every CW show feels the need to do this. Season ends on huge gamechanging thing...that is immediately written away by the end of the first episode of the new season. Supernatural really killed my patience for this. Hopefully this season sticks to not having a speedster be the ultimate villain.
To be fair, Arrow did not do this.
Well technically there was that bomb but that's me stretching it
Did the 100 do this? I can't remember the season premieres.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I don't think The 100 has ever backed away from finale fallout. Right now it feels like something exclusive to the DC shows. They all get as close to resetting the status quo as possible in the premiere, and they all jump ahead a few months from the finale.

Guess I went hyperbolic. Instead of every CW show I probably should have limited it to Supernatural.

Having just watched it, I didn't like it and it sure as hell felt weird. It felt like they wanted to set the stage for this year's threat while refocusing the show and also while doing plenty of soft rebooting: remember sad Barry? He feels great now, all his traumas gone, 'cause he just told you so! Remember Killer Frost? She's still there, but Caitlin made peace with all her friends in the span of one heartfelt scene! Remember Wally being a little bit jealous of Barry? All settled now, Barry's the fastest man alive, no question! This desperately needed to be a small story arc, it needed some air to breathe, Barry disappearing should bear some consequences, it should lead to natural character development; instead, they decided to cram tons of shit into this episode, and had to resort to plentiful of "telling" instead of "showing".
We'll see what next week's episode holds for us.

While I agree, I could also do without seeing more of that. I think it's worth the trade-off to have one crappy episode that does this if it leads to a good season overall.

Posted this in the Arrow thread too.
I totally forgot this show was back. Why the hell are Flash and Legends on the same night with a day gap for Arrow?
Also, have the first episodes of the current seasons of all three shows been promising?

Because it is difficult to plan all those Berlanti shows.

Just watched. Are we sure that was The Thinker and not Metron?

Because Riverdale
If we get any Fourth World stuff on the CW, it will either be on Supergirl or a crossover.

I mean we got a ton of Batman stuff in Arrow, why not New Gods in Flash?
Well his name is Clifford DeVoe and he ended the episode by saying "I'm Thinking".
I mean after Prometheus on Arrow technically anything is possible, but no, he's the damn Thinker.
Because, as just mentioned, it fits more into the purview of Supergirl.

What if he is both the Thinker and Metron?Well his name is Clifford DeVoe and he ended the episode by saying "I'm Thinking".

I mean look at this.
And his chair looks a lot like the Mobius Chair.
Or maybe he is just The Thinker but he somehow got the Mobius Chair?

Maybe it's something with both and leading up to something more in the future? Setting up stuff for the next season and beyond?
The producers have called him The Thinker. He's a Flash villain. You're thinking way too much into it (like when people tried to say Wells was Metron back in S1). Yeah they look similar but it's way out of the show's range so far.
Again it's a stretch (Ralph Dibny) when Supergirl is about to jump into cosmic teams.

I need to learn to trust The Reverse Flash more. He is from the future after all!

Do you think the Mobius Chair itself would be outside of the shows range?
Maybe? The Cosmic Treadmill would fulfill that role in a way thats closer to Flash lore.
I suspect theyre going to shy away from time travel nonsense for a while after S3s backlash, like theyre doing with super speed villains.

New Gods stuff has largely been placed in the Superman and Justice League books and shows for DC. They have a Superman-family show, so that's where they'll use them.
Arrow uses Batman and Teen Titans stuff because the Green Arrow comics overlap with the Batman and Titans books a lot.

TERRIBLE episode. How often are they going to have huge shit go down in a season finale and then neatly reset stuff back to normal in the premiere? Boring, safe and predictable writing. It's such a shame about this show's gradual decline since season 1.
Lmao alright then
Is this a joke
This whole synopsis feels like it was made by either a fanfic writer or a simulator
Not that it won't be good but come on
Someone seems to have forgotten Flashpoint...
Yes he was
name dropped as dead in an early episode, but that's easily retconned by Flashpoint or just ignoring it altogether. Barry supposedly knows him, so I'd say just ignored.

I know they rushed it and all but I enjoyed it. The design of the thinker was really cool, and like others have noted, did bring to mind Metron. But the new gods are way out of the budget of this show.
But I prefer a soft reset to be honest.
Also, I assume Barry was reliving the past and future moments of his own timestream he must've experienced in the speedforce. Right? Those phrases are likely to come back in future episodes.

Set Piece from the Crossover (Spoilers Obviously)!
There is also this for the people who found it (regards to the letters/words that Barry was writing and The Thinker):

Thinker is Barry confirmed.

Only thing I don't like about the new suit is that the cowl looks like a different color from the suit.

It doesn't look like it's made from the same thing. That's what's throwing you and I off.

I shouldn't complain really, it was so beyond the time for him to get a new suit(and it actually looks pretty good)
Lmao i would just laugh soo hard if it's true.
