THE FLASH: An Old Friend Is Reborn In The New Promo For Season 8, Episode 11: "Resurrection"

I liked the episode, the mystery behind the Black Flame has been intriguing and it feels like it is gonna continue to escalate until a game changer moment in this next episode.

This mixture of science behind the mechanics of it's cold fusion abilities that point to Ronnie's direction or at least to the Firestorm Matrix but the unexplained part remains in the way it chooses it's targets who are/were mourning by manifesting into the shape of their loved ones like it tried it with Chester is the crux of the problem.

And I got a different theory than the one he proposed, the Black Flame isn't exactly pursuing those that never faced their grief but more like those that didn't get the chance to say goodbye to the ones they lost which fit in his case (even though he did got the chance to talk to him the day before his death) and in Caitlin's because she had no idea Firestorm would return.

Killer Frost's and Barry's different POVs made sense but she did win the argument by comparing how if Iris wouldn't stay still despite her own situation therefore she also couldn't as well made sense. Same thing with the reveal that if the flames had a cryo signature and were alive then they needed to feed from some source of cold, making Frost a logical target and heck when she used her powers on the flames at the speed lab they only spreaded out further. Everything added up.

Happy they finally brought back the reveal from 5x19 of Carla having the potential of being a metahuman however I've realized that there's this underlying storyline that has been going on in-between since the Godspeed arc in S7 about latent metagenes that have been awakening in some characters, from Kramer to Tinya in Coast City & now with Caitlin and Frost's mother that have nothing to do with the particle accelerator, could it be going somewhere else after Season 8?

Joe's wisdom always delivers, this one about leaders having to let go and trust their teammates while still supporting them was a good one.

Iris "Thanos'ed" Tinya's mom with her time sickness, damn. I wonder if she's gonna find the time to disclose this to Barry just like how she did at the beginning despite Deon's advice. One on hand this makes her dangerous therefore she should be put in quarantine somewhere like in the Vanishing Point but on the other hand if she could find the way to control it, then it could be used to get rid of the Black Flame.

And if I had to take a guess at what the Black Flame is I'd say it is a corrupted Flame of P'ytar that has been acting up ever since the ending of Armageddon when Barry severed it's connection with Despero, his warnings about how wrong it was to do that felt to me as foreshadowing. But since I'm not so sure it is just some power source going rogue by itself I remember as well that in Armageddon 8x03 Black Lightning mentioned that the JL came up with the Injustice Protocols after they dealt with someone named Faust. The only one in DC that fits that is Felix Faust, a magician. It felt like such a weird mention to me that there was at some point an offscreen JL crossover event but after seeing how Iris' time sickness has gotten worse because she asked Deon to remove her treatments so she could help in seeing the Negative Still Force particles back in the erased Reverse-Flashpoint timeline then perhaps it also undid whatever happened with Faust and this is all his work now since he never would've dealt with the JL.

Long ass theory I know, but I like to speculate. XD

Honestly I’ve been a fan of GG from those season 2 episodes of Arrow.

The Flash will be a multiverse movie. Cast him by saying he’s a multiverse Barry but now the main Barry in Keaton/Supergirl universe. Done.

He deserves it.
