The Flash: 10 Things Season 2 Has Got Horribly Wrong (So Far)

10. Glossing Over Time Paradoxes

There€™s a reason that when the movie Looper starts to mess with time paradoxes everything just fades to white and disappears. There€™s so many different ways to address the impact of time-traveling but many of them are far too scientific and brain-meltingly confusing to belong on The Flash. Unfortunately, rather than try to come up with a sufficient explanation for how Eddie€™s death changed things, the show just skipped ahead, barely addressing the colossal ramifications of Eobard Thawne never existing. Wouldn€™t Barry€™s mother have never been killed in this scenario? Wouldn€™t the particle accelerator have never exploded? These are the types of questions that The Flash should at least address, even if the answers aren€™t satisfactory. Considering Barry himself has just traveled back in time again during the crossover episode with Arrow, things look to be jumbled up all over again. No one is expecting a realistic scientific explanation to what€™s going on, or an alternate reality where these changes are in effect, but it€™s frustrating that The Flash is trying to include these huge concepts without properly explaining them.
