User blog:ReverseZoom101/Something about Episode 1 of The Flash: Season 5 doesn't sit right...

SPOILER WARNING!
There's a big problem with Episode 1, one that could potentially break the show in terms of logic. The culprit? The infamous...

Future Iris' article.

Them bringing this thing back really pissed me off, as it's been retconned and changed ''so many damn times. ''The way the they used it in this episode was especially ridiculous. Firstly, I'm confused how Nora even has access to that article. We know that Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, brought that newspaper with him from his timeline, a timeline that ''no longer exists. ''In this timeline, Barry is assumed to have gotten powers by "natural" causes, the particle acclerator goes off without a hitch, and this presumably happens in 2020. Now, the fact that the article even exists is plotholed enough. It should have disappeared the second Eobard was erased from existence. However, it didn't, and we can't do anything about it. So what does this have to do with Nora, you ask? Well, by claiming that this article from a deleted timelime applies to her time, Nora is effectively claiming ''she is from the original timeline. '' Which can't be true, since she is quite clearly from this one. Again, the article shouldn't even exist anymore, as a result of Eobard Thawne no longer existing. Subsequently, the "Crisis" in the future never should have happened. Now if we consider the possiblity that a time remnant of Thawne causes the Crisis, then I find it very difficult to believe that Iris writes them same article. Also, that'd mean that Eobard's article "mutated" into this timeline article, which is utter BS.

ALSO, we have the other article Nora showed Barry, titled ''25 YEARS LATER, FLASH STILL MISSING. ''I have problems with this article too. To begin with, why does Iris write this article too?!? I think she'd know that her husband was gone...

You know what, I'm done. Hope you enjoyed, and feel free to comment your own opinions. Peace!
