and apparently it would be a BAD thing if Barry forgot that he lost both of his parents and if reverse flash forgot who he is?

And can someone tell me why this show makes such a HUGE deal out of not messing with the timeline when the ENTIRE SHOW is based on reverse flash effing with time and not having any serious repurccussions for it? So if Barry messes with the timeline all hell breaks lose but if Reverse flash messes with the time line everybthing is peachy clean because it caused the Flash to exist.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH For the first part, think of Back To The Future part 2 when Marty was holding the photograph of his sibliings and himself. Time is being re-rewritten to adjust to the changes.

Yea, because he doesn't want to change who he is.

Thawne lost his speed. We have never seen the orignal timeline, only heard about it. But some of the drastic changes that happened were all the people gaining meta powers earlier, or more gaining powers. Also, in the original timeline, he isn't the cause of the Flash's existance. That was caused by the real Earth-1 Wells.
