They filmed these two episodes with Grant Gustin as Barry Allen and on the strength of his performance in them, the network agreed to greenlight a Flash TV show, even before it aired. I'd heard this and was so psyched to finally see the introduction of Barry into the Arrowverse, which it wasn't "verse" at this time.

Haha, I don't know why it cracked me up so much when talking about Slade you said, "He's not dead...well, NOW he is."

The indications of whether Barry is The Flash is at the beginning. He was taking the train and got splashed with a big puddle of water.

In my opinion, The Flash is the best show in the arrowverse, it can be dark like Arrow and Light like Supergirl. Since you already saw the latest crossover and obviously know who Barry ends up with, we can definitely say that him and Felicity didn’t work out, for the better IMO. But Barry is a gem, I love him, and I love his and Oliver’s development as friends. Barry didn’t get introduced into the world until this episode, so no he’s not the flash yet. The Flash starts when s3 of Arrow begins

just fyi: this was Barry's original introduction into the Arrowverse. The Flash started when S3 of Arrow started. Barry was on Arrow first before getting his own show as The Flash ;)

Loved the reaction as always! The Flash show doesn’t start until season 3 of The Arrow.
