* TimeyWimeyBall: Par for the course for this series. Once again, time travel seems to impact time-travelers differently in different situations. Barry's creation of an AlternateTimeline here leads to him gradually starting to lose his memories of his original life, a process accelerated by him using his speed. But Thawne, in Season 1, also created an AlternateTimeline when he murdered Nora in the first place, and that did not seem to affect him or his memories of his original timeline at all. Halfway justified by Thawne claiming that Barry simply doesn't understand temporal mechanics as well as Thawne does.
