Expectations for Season 3
Luciana: I honestly just hope that Barry can fix the catastrophic mess he made by going back in time and saving his mother – effectively erasing that entire timeline. God, Barry, how could you be so reckless and just plain stupid? I know he was grieving, and we don’t act rationally when we are driven by our emotions, but our speedster really screwed up this time. So, please, just fix it.
That said, I want Wells back. I loved Earth-2 Wells so much. His relationship with Cisco was one of the very best aspects of this season and I would love to see more of him. And Jesse. I know they supposedly returned to Earth-2, but hey, Barry erased an entire timeline. I’m sure we’ll find a way to bring them back.
Shana: Honestly? I don’t even know because of how poorly season 2 ended. The only thing I know for sure is that Kid Flash is coming, and he is going to be awesome. That’s it.
Lizzie: For Barry to stop being stupid. For Flashpoint to be fixed in like, half a season at the very least? If not, for Oliver and Kara to come knock some sense into Barry so he stops being stupid. For WestAllen to finally convince me. Or for the show to bring Patty back, either’s fine by me. For Caitlin to stay alone for a season, and define herself. For Wally and Barry to grow closer. For Joe to continue being as awesome as always.
Oh, and Harrison Wells. All the Harrison Wells. Don’t take him away from me.
Meredith: I don’t even know. At this point I’m not sure I’m going to keep watching. I don’t think I’m the key demo for this show. My husband enjoys it, so I’ll at least be peripherally watching, but I am just not invested at all. I’m really not.
I guess, if anything, I’m mildly curious to see how they handle Flashpoint, and what if any impact it has on the other shows (please say none – it’s not fair to assume viewers are watching all of the shows, or need to watch all of them to understand what’s happening on any of the shows individually).
Melissa: I’m onboard with more Harrison Wells. I love Tom Cavanaugh. Whenever it becomes available for download, everyone should watch TRUST ME with Cavanaugh and Eric McCormack. It was only on for one season on TNT, but both leads get to put on a show of great comic timing in action.
And yes, Barry needs to stop crying. I know he’s the rash “kid” of the Justice League, but enough with the crying already. Superheroes rarely cry. That’s why they’re “super.” They’re stronger, braver and tougher than the rest of us.
THE FLASH will return for an all new season on Tuesday, October 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW (U.S.) and CTV (Canada).
