Cisco has all the rights to be pissed at Barry, especially since from his POV Barry ALSO refused to go to the past for him (though Our Barry doesn't remember that after Eobard's form of Superseding Speedster Time travel)

Which brings me to the main point:

Can these worthless excuses for "friends" start blaming the actual VILLAIN for all the crap that happened, instead of Barry Allen?

That is, Eobard Motherfucking Thawne. The Reverse-Flash.

You know, that guy who wants to screw up the Flash's life just for shits and giggles? (in the old comics his main M.O. was actually about trying to steal Iris, of all people, from Barry, just to hurt the Flash emotionally)

"Oh noes, Barre, you made an aberration". You know, Sara, you might have been LIVING in a gigantic ABERRATION of a timeline, because Eobard Thawne slaughtered innocent people and was never punished for it. And Barry is somehow a villain for trying to stop this heinous time criminal!? Really!? (I know, he wasted our time with this whole Faux-Flashpoint, but still. He didn't know any better. The only authority on time travel to lecture him about it was... the man who went in time to kill him and murdered his mom. Great.)

Eobard Thawne was the one, whose actions prompted Barry to change the timeline.

Eobard Thawne was also the one who actually "fixed" the timeline back together, making out alive.

Why does Barry get all the blame then?

"You erased my daughter" And gave you a son? It's complicated, man.

"Muh Damien Darhk" You Legends kill off important historical people all the time and just ONCE refused to kill Darhk in all of your meetings with him.

I couldn't believe that Kreisberg and Berlanti wrote this ep, so out of character were the Flash and LOT characters. Heck, I thought the Arrow-specific writers did, because Oliver was one of the few level-headed people. Though, I suppose, the screenwriters get the blame for those dialogues.

My verdict:

Best Character So Far: Oliver Queen. He was actually surprisingly rational and supporting of Barry all the way through.

"It's All My Fault Guy": Barry, no comment.

Worst Character So Far: Iris West, who went all Season 1 Joe/Caitlin/Wells on Wally "No, don't help people with that super speed and regeneration of yours. Look, you broke your arm, and you wouldn't if you just left Barry and Oliver to their deaths, huh?"

Still suspecting HR Wells of being Abra Kadabra. That "they don't get your full potential" villain dialogue... brrr!
