Additionally, viewers got a reshot moment of the older Barry waving off the version of himself from the Season 1 finale from saving Nora Allen.
Season 9 Barry became the older Barry fans had seen many seasons earlier fighting Reverse-Flash and saving his 10-year-old self from his arch-nemesis. Having said, I’ve also been thinking in the aftermath about how I wish this episode, or an earlier one, had resolved a different Reverse-Flash-related plot thread, But before I get into that, let’s go over what went down between Barry and Thawne in this episode.
But we’ve now hit the beginning of the end of The Flash’s ninth and final season, and following last week’s episode bringing back Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen and potentially securing the survival of the Arrowverse, this week’s episode brought Thawne’s storyline full circle.Īs someone who’s both watched The Flash since the beginning (and was also watching Arrow when Grant Gustin debuted as Barry Allen in the middle of Season 2) and especially likes Reverse-Flash as a character, I was amazed by how well “A New World, Part One” brought Matt Letscher’s version of Eobard Thawne back one last time and and put a bow on him having gone back in time to kill Barry Allen’s mother. That’s especially been the case in The CW’s The Flash, with Thawne, whether he’s played by Tom Cavanagh or Matt Letscher, having been an antagonist presence in the life of Grant Gustin’s Barry for the entirety of this TV series’ run. Batman has The Joker, Superman has Lex Luthor, and for The Flash, specifically Barry Allen, that tile belongs to Eobard Thawne, a.k.a. a villain who ranks above the other members of their rogues gallery.
