The Flash Season 3: 7 Ups And 2 Downs From 'Paradox'
1. Consequences
The CW
Finally! Finally Barry seems to be getting
it!
It seems as if after many foolish,
over-eager, at-times selfish decisions, there are now some serious consequences
to the actions of Barry Allen.
Up until now, the mantra of the Scarlet
Speedster has often been to have a look at going back in time to fix a problem
should any major issues arise. Not only has he done this for problems based on
himself, he’s even done this last season to prevent the death of the Green
Arrow.
But even though Barry’s changed the
present several times now, it’s only now that the show is really letting us
see that there really are consequences to Barry’s actions. It’s about time that
it’s not all happy endings and instantly back to a sense of normalcy, and so
seeing Barry struggling with what he himself has done, problems he himself has
created, is a much-needed change of pace for the show.
And as ever, this is something that will
only further help to shape the hero that Barry is and will go on to become in
the future.

As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is a long-standing season ticket holder and an FSA Award-winner for his time co-hosting the Fearless in Devotion podcast.
