The Flash S08.E06: Impulsive Excessive Disorder
Quote:
Messing up the timeline? Beautifully crying about how he ruined everything? Nerdy rambling? Bart really is his fathers son. Listen to uncle Jay and don't stress about punching holes into time and space on a reticular basis, if your dad had quit being the Flash the second he messed up the timeline via time travel, he would have retired after the first month.
For an episode with very little Barry/Iris, I thought this was a good episode. Bart and Nora have great sibling chemistry and you can really see how they combine Barry and Iris, both physically and in their personalities. Their bickering and support were both really cute. While their acting could be a little too precious at times, and the two of them really need to dial back on the trips to Jitters with all that energy, I had fun watching them have an adventure and I quite liked going back to season one, seeing Eddie again really got my nostalgia going. Poor Eddie, he gave his life to save everyone from Thawne but the ******* just keeps coming back like a bad penny anyway. It was nice going back to season one when Barry was in a coma, Eddie was alive, and meta humans weren't common knowledge, and while it was a mistake in the timeline I liked seeing the start of the Royal Flush gang, I always thought they were fun. Even getting a flashback to when Barry got his powers, this show really did have a great backdoor pilot, the best in the Arrowverse by far.
Even if its the result of timeline screw ups, I am glad that Jay is alive in the future, and looking amazing for a guy in his 80s. That "president Luther" joke got me, not gonna lie. I do always enjoy a "oh yeah, this exists in this universe too" joke.
I am sure that Cecile and Joe didn't meet this early, but with Crisis and the time travel mess, I can pretty easily handwave that. I like scientist lady, too bad she and Bart live in different times or they would be a cute couple.
Ugh, why this show thinks we want more of Chillblaine or his lame relationship with Frost is beyond me. When we got to the present again I was like "oh yeah, maybe this is why I liked this episode. No annoying useless characters hogging screen time."
Booster Gold! So will the time cops show up to arrest Bart and Nora in time for the next crossover?

To add to those comments above… I love the actors who play Bart and Nora and I hope there’s a spinoff featuring them. Lots of foreshadowing hints it’s even on the works. This episode played out like a mini-movie. Outstanding. What little we received of Barry/Iris was perfect and I love the quick scene between Barry/Iris/Bart/Nora.

You should watch as well!
Wish he wouldn’t have died.
