Cold proves too stubborn a foe, but luckily, someone comes to Barry’s rescue. I liked this quite a bit as this Cold doppelgänger is more like Captain Cold than the real thing on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow lately.

We get a cool (pardon the pun) moment with this Cold representation, where he tells Barry that he inspired Snart to die a hero, to be better. And that last bit is where Wally is, reliving his mother’s death over and over again. Like Cosnett and Amell, the speech patterns of Wentworth Miller III are perfect for the Speed Force’s mission, all attitude and punishment. The next stop on the Speed Force tour is a hospital room, guarded by another dead frenemy, Captain Cold. Barry is able defeat the Speed Force creation, but only by severing the tether connecting him to the real world. Just as Eddie sent a Time Wraith, Ronnie sends Zoom after him. Sacrifice is what Eddie and Ronnie have in common – and that’s what Barry wants to do – sacrifice himself for Wally. The guilt in the air is heavy, and the attitude of the Speed Force has the same tone with Ronnie as with Eddie, props to both actors for that. Labs with Robbie Amell’s original Firestorm with Caitlin… who’s cradling a baby. FirestormĬontinuing the theme of dead friends and should have beens, next Barry finds himself at S.T.A.R. So angry is the Speed Force/Eddie, it sends a Time Wraith after him. Instead of marrying Iris, Eddie wound up dead. The faux Eddie hammers Barry with how things could have been, should have been. The Speed Force is using Eddie to get at Barry and hurt him. Things have changed, the Speed Force is not happy that Barry meddled with time in creating Flashpoint – it’s no longer his friend.Įddie isn’t his friend either. Once Barry dives in he arrives at police headquarters, on a stormy night just like the one when he got his powers, and is confronted by Eddie. While it was good to see Rick Cosnett return as Eddie Thawne, it’s only as a construct of the Speed Force. It would seem to be a friend then, that may not be the case anymore. Presenting itself as people from Barry’s life, the Speed Force helped him regain his powers when he had lost them. As seen in “ The Runaway Dinosaur,” it appears to be sentient, and a realm that revolved around the Flash. On television, the Speed Force is quite possibly all that, but also more. It has been said to be a corridor through time, and an afterlife for speedsters as they become one with it when they die. In the comics, the Speed Force is more or less an energy created by the movement of time and space, which can be accessed by speedsters to grant them their powers. Can The Flash save Kid Flash from a fate worse than death? Or does the Speed Force require something more sinister from our hero? Meet me after the extra-dimensional jump for my thoughts on “Into the Speed Force.”

In the meantime, be sure to check out our 2020 fall TV premiere guide for more viewing options.With Savitar free again as of our last episode, the villain trapped Wally in the Speed Force. The cast and crew is expected to begin filming the season soon.


The Flash will return for Season 7 in January 2021 on The CW. We know that Stargirl exists on an entirely new version of Earth-2, but it’s unlikely that the show will interact with the rest of the Arrowverse anytime soon and that means Jesse and Harry are truly gone for good. With the reshaping of the multiverse, Harry and Jesse are presumed dead and didn’t make it out when the earths merged. However, following the events of “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” the multiverse collapsed and was reborn into Earth-Prime, with a dash of other earths sprinkled here and there. The last we saw of both characters was in Season 4, but considering Harry’s proclivity to show up at any given point, it was expected that we hadn’t seen the last of my favorite version of Wells. Harry and Jesse were introduced in Season 2 of The Flash and had quite a long run on the show.
