The Flash Season 3 episode 1, ‘Flashpoint,’ airs tonight on The CW. We’ve been waiting for this moment since Barry traveled back in time to save his mother in The Flash Season 2 finale. You just defeated Zoom… WTF Barry!
Regardless, Barry’s terrible decision should make for some great television. While the Flashpoint arc won’t last all season, the after effects will certainly will… possibly even for entirety of the series. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
The Flash Season 3 episode 1 begins in a version of Central City we’re not so familiar with. Barry’s mother and father are still alive, Cisco is a snobby rich guy, and another Flash already exists. It’s an alternate timeline where Iris and Barry never shared that long awaited first kiss on the stoop outside the West household.
Will Barry come to terms with what he’s done, or fight to stay in this warm mirage of the way life could have been? He could be swayed to fix things once his powers start fading away, but after Flashpoint is over, what changes to the timeline will stay in place? Will Kid Flash still be a hero? We’ll have a better idea after the premiere episode, which airs tonight at 8 p.m.
How To Watch The Flash Season 3 Premiere Online
If you don’t have cable, there’s no way to (legally) watch The Flash Season 3 episode 1 live online. Your best bet is to download The CW App and watch on-demand tomorrow. The CW App is free and there’s no cable login necessary. Unfortunately, The CW App is the only way to watch next-day, since The Flash isn’t expected to stream on Hulu anymore. If I were you, I’d bribe one of your friends for their cable login. It’s the only way!
Will you be watching live or using The CW App tomorrow? Let us know in the comments below!
