YMMV / The Flash 2014 S 5 E 4 News Flash

• Hilarious in Hindsight: In the climax, Nora is inches away from killing her father (who has yet to conceive her), which would result in a Grandfather Paradox. Only six days after this episode aired, Legends of Tomorrow aired an episode that demonstrates that in the Arrowverse reality will literally prevent a Grandfather Paradox from taking place by whisking away the threatening Kid from the Future from their ancestor.
• Narm: The big reveal of the chip scar is a tad undermined when it's revealed to be about the size of a bug-bite.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Barry saying that he has faith in future Iris is meant to be sweet, but to some viewers it comes off as obnoxiously saying that anything she does must be automatically right.
