One is the Reverse Flash, but the other, we still can't be sure if it was Barry, and--wait a minute...remember how ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' got started? The series is still young, but many viewers are already calling it!

* F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. being an acronym for a molecular transmutation project actually makes sense. The primary place where molecular transmutation occurs naturally is inside a star--which, if you're feeling poetic (or if you have a project name that almost spells "firestorm" and feel like going whole-hog) could be called one massive firestorm.

* It seems odd that Barry's suit was able to endure the cold gun and flamethrower streams in "Revenge of the Rogues". But then you remember it was meant to be used by firefighters. Cisco probably made it more flameproof in response to Barry's higher speeds. He also designed the cold gun so it would be likely he knew a way to add protection against it to the suit.

The only problem with that is that Tony hears the the sonic boom a split second before Barry bursts into the room. If Barry was really going faster than the speed of sound, than Tony wouldn't have heard the boom until Barry was already on top of him.

* The Arrow, a dark and brooding vigilante who killed quite a few people in his first year in Starling City, has formed a working relationship with his city's police. The Flash, who is inherently upbeat, more fun, is very much opposed to killing and will do things like stop and help out someone painting a building, is considered a threat by the Central City Police Department. This seems bizarre until you remember that Starling City's criminal element and annual terrorist attacks make the place such a WretchedHive that TheCowl who is willing to do just about whatever it takes to stop such things seems a lot more reasonable. Conversely, for a relatively brighter place like Central City, the emergence of [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual metahumans]] and high-tech criminals like Captain Cold represents a disruption of the city's image of normality, with the Flash being the most high-profile representation of how the world is changing.

* The show seems to follow a lot of the same steps as ''Arrow'' did before (including similar dynamics and characters who serve similar roles, and even features a BigBad in the first season who's an AlwaysSomeoneBetter EvilCounterpart who killed one of their parents), despite the fact the show is intended to be a much more LighterAndSofter and more fantastical approach to superheroes. However, this makes ''sense:'' The show is essentially serving as an alternative look at superheroes from a different, more idealistic perspective, by taking the same tropes and formula as ''Arrow'' but retelling them in a more light-hearted manner.
