![]() ![]() And finally, H.R., who seems to be the only one who has a semi-excellent life, is a successful author. Joe West is absolutely destroyed by the death of his daughter and is no longer on speaking terms with Emo Barry. Julian is paunchy and tired having dedicated his life to figuring out how to cure Caitlin of her frosty personality. An imprisoned Killer Frost is as evil as ever and taunts her former friends. Cisco lost his powers after a battle with Killer Frost and is reminded of his defeat by the presence of his cybernetic hands. Her death caused Wally to go after Savitar by himself, resulting in him becoming catatonic and wheelchair bound. Bad is an understatement in this future and it’s interesting to see just how intrinsic Iris West was to a happy and healthy future. Instead, he spends most the episode moping around a dilapidated Star Labs as present Barry discovers just how bad things have gotten for his friends. He doesn’t know who Savitar is and he doesn’t know how to save Iris West. Bad wigs aside, Grant Gustin does a spectacular job playing the defeated scarlet speedster of the future and it was enjoyable to watch the surly interactions between Emo Barry and present Barry.Įmo Barry turns out to be incredibly unhelpful in the first portion of the episode. With Cisco’s help, Barry meets Emo Barry a severely depressed, angst-filled, heartbroken and long-haired version of himself.

There is no Team Flash to protect its citizens and with the likes of Mirror Master roaming about, things are bleak. The Central City of the future is gloomy and dreary and riddled with villains. When Barry Allen speeds his way to the year 2024 to uncover Savitar’s identity, he finds himself in a city that has lost all hope. The future sucks, at least for Central City and its heroes. Barry’s past experiences with time travel have proven to be disastrous, to say the least, so will his visit to the future be equally catastrophic? This is the question that was no doubt on many fans’ minds as Barry traveled to the year 2024 in “The Once and Future Flash.” Though his presence in the future was surprisingly benign, the future itself was a mess and showed the viewers just how screwed up the world would be if Savitar succeeded in murdering Iris West. ![]() By BGN Guest Blogger Jahkotta Lewis Team Flash Tries to Find Hope in a Dark FutureĪs Iris West’s future death looms on the horizon, Barry Allen makes the decision to travel to the future to uncover Savitar’s identity. ![]()
