Warning: spoilers for The Flash season 2 finale, “The Race of His Life,” follow…
I love time travel. Well, I should say that I'm a big fan of time travel fiction, because I've certainly never experienced it in my own life and as the years progress I realize it would proabably be more trouble than it's worth to try and “correct” my personal history.
I would not say no to a turn or two in the TARDIS, though.
Here's a standard time travel trope: often the attempt to improve a given situation sets off a disastrous domino effect making everything far, far worse.
So it's interesting that in its sophomore finale The Flash set up a storyline — Flashpoint — that has the potential to give us either an outstanding third season, or…
By resetting the clock — and thus this universe — did the writers, like Barry, just make the best or worst move in the show's history.
