My God, if they used this as an opportunity to break up Olicity/erase that relationship entirely, I would be so overjoyed I'd actually wet myself.
Nah, Guggenheim will just make it so that one of the post-Flashpoint ramifications is Oliver died and Felicity became the Green Arrow in his place.
I doubt that. The whole point of him not saving his mother in the first season finale was because of unforeseen consequences. If him saving his mother would just bring back the ORIGINAL timeline that pre-dates the show, which from what we can see is supposed to be bright and shiny and hopeful, then no one's gonna want to go back to the show's timeline during S1 and 2. And that's gonna mess up the continuity with Arrow as well.I think we may see the original timeline instead of the timeline from the first season or the flashpoint paradox timeline for season 3. We could have Barry's parents and the real Earth-1 Harrison Wells as season regulars.
When you think about the concept behind "Time Remnants" and how LOT has gone about using time travel, I think the only way an person can still enjoy this universe is by throwing logic out the window.

I have no idea. Personally I think it's because of the tug of war that was going on.
Mother lives, Reverse travels back to kill her, Flash travels back to save her.
That many changes for one period in time may have been too many things change and re-alterings at once. Like picture time as a piece of paper basically. You don't tear at it - it's fine. You have two people yanking it back and forth, chance are that piece of paper is going to rip. Or at least that's how I view it.
]I did that long ago, logic is overrated, obsessing over logic instead of just relaxing and enjoying the show would be such an incredible waste of my time. T[/B]his is a universe where Barry grabbing someone while running 500 plus mph saves their life instead of shattering everything in their body and killing them instantly, logic never really came into it to begin with. Besides, time travel isn't a real thing, the rules are whatever the hell the show decides they are.
The New52 didn't need to happen.If they create a new timeline after this (like New 52), then none of the episodes of any of the past Berlanti DC shows would be in continuity.
It would be a continuity reboot.
That would be very messy and awkward for television. It was done in the comics because the comics needed it.
Although Arrow has sunk so much, makes me want it erased from existence, along with Guggenheim and Mericle.
Yeah, he changes everything back to normal in the end.
It's actually not back to normal, though. There are changes throughout the DC Universe (Superman not married to Lois, characters being younger and having new origins, certain stories never happened, etc.)
I just learned that about the comic. To most who read the comic out of sequence of the larger DCU and have no knowledge of how the New 52 began, it does ring as leaving no real lasting impacts. That's the way the animated adaptation plays out as well.
So the question is really two-fold, will things still change like they did in the comics or will it be like the animated adaptation where it didn't really leave any lasting changes and acted more as a 'It's A Wonderful Life' tale.
Barry changing his own past isn't going to affect anything other than Earth-1 (the Arrowverse proper), nor should it.
The thing that people either aren't aware of or are just flat-out ignoring is that Supergirl's production team began working on storylines for Season 2 several weeks before it was announced that the series would be moving from CBS to The CW, and that, as a result, 'folding' "Earth-S" into the Arrowverse proper would mean that all of the work they have done up to this point (and are likely continuing to do) would have to be thrown out for no other reason than that fans don't want to see SG separated by the Multiversal barrier.
