Oh my god that Flash Ring moment was worth it.
I really enjoyed this premiere and I found Nora to be adorable. I like that Ralph is addressing every "plot hole" in the show e.g. Why didn't Thawne get a vasectomy instead of killing himself for one? or “if Barry saved me from the thinker then it could have created a timeline where I died during the particle accelerator explosion” lol.
XS mentioning Lightning Lad confirms that the Legion of Superheroes also exist in Earth One's future which is interesting I guess and I have a feeling that we will see a couple of members from the Legion later this season.
Ryan Choi is another Atom in the comicsI rewound the DVR like 5 times.
"Ryan Choi" invented the new suit? Who?
I doubt Iris is dead, at least not in this timeline (though in that one timeline she was killed by Savitar). In any case, I suspect Iris has simply become withdrawn at the loss of Barry, and as such has … alienated her daughter?Iris is probably dead in the future since she cant be living the happy life. Ok well she isnt dead so I am going to go with her being against Nora being a speedster out of feat of her disappearing like Barry which causes friction between the two.
I think we will, eventually. The way I look at this; that Barry (future Barry) vanishes because he's gone back in time to stop Thawne, but he doesn't stop Thawne and the future changes, so the future [that] Barry ends up in isn't the same one he left; presumably different timelines can coexist, though they're … out of phase with each other? If that makes sense.I wish we could explore Barry vanishing for 25 years (fun fact: in the comics Barry was gone for 23 years
Unfortunately, you're not going to get your wish. Wally only has (I think) five appearances across two shows this year. I don't think the crossover is among them though.Overall it was a good premiere! Very refreshing but needed more Wally.
As Speed Force has stated, he's another Atom; presumably he takes over from Ray Palmer once Ray returns from his travels and passes down his torch."Ryan Choi" invented the new suit? Who?
Before this episode, the show never bothered explaining/acknowledge that Ralph died during the particle accelerator in the original pre Flashpoint timeline. Surely Barry would have questioned on why Ralph is alive again but whatever. My head canon is that Barry correcting the things he did in Flashpoint inadvertently changed Ralph's fate.I meant to say something about the line where Ralph died during the particle accelerator cause well...he did.
In season 1 episode 7, Dr Wells er, Thawne, mentions all the names of those who died the night of the explosion and he mentions none other than Ralph Dibney

It was a beautiful spring day in Central City. Not so different from that morning years ago when the clear blue sky turned crimson red, and the Scarlet Speedster vanished in a crisis. Thousands gathered here at the Flash Museum to commemorate that day’s quarter century anniversary. Names were read of the other victims of the attack, and Governor Singh gave remarks on the Flash’s enduring legacy.
The details of Flash’s disappearance remain murky. A 2026 Congressional Commission repeated the Citizen’s initial reporting. Hours after the sky turned red, the Flash and his allies fought the Reverse Flash. The ensuing street battle caused the most destruction this city has ever seen. It was not until the Flash and Reverse Flash disappeared in an explosion of light that the chaos ceased.
But in the years following the crisis, accounts only grew more contradictory. Some eyewitnesses remember dozens of other heroes present, including Green Arrow, Batwoman, and Elongated Man. Others remember heroes thought lost in time, like The Atom, or from other worlds, like Supergirl. Some even contend they saw Reverse Flash leading an army of “shadow demons.”
Scientists at Ivy University’s Memory Institute chalk up those…
Research has focused on Roger Hayden, a.k.a. Psycho Pirate, who claims to remember the night’s events.
He said upon his arrest, “Worlds lived, worlds died. Nothing will ever be the same.”
And nothing ever was. Staring at the golden statue of The Flash, this reporter remembers the words of Former Police Chief Joe West, “We don’t have the details…”
