For the last five months I’ve been wishing I was blessed with the Speed Force, so I could either run into the future and dive into The Flash's “Flashpoint” arc or book it to an alternate universe so I could slap Barry Allen upside the head for even considering running back in time to save his mother’s life and thus creating an bizarrely different universe. Sadly, I just had to wait for the season 3 premiere like everyone else.
The Flash finally races onto television screens this Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW, but if you’re anything like me, you’re still craving spoilers. Here are 5 spoilers for The Flash’s third season...

Supernatural's Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles may be the stars of the longest running genre series in America, but they also want to add Official CW Pranksters to their resumes.
Every year, amidst the heat of summer, blerds, cosplayers and geeks make the annual trek to California for the ultimate celebration in all things sci-fi and spoilery. It’s the nerd nirvana known as the San Diego Comic-Con.
The only thing that numbs the pain of not being about to attend this Superbowl of Nerdom is the spoilers and trailers that now, thanks to social media, are almost instantaneously shared with the sad and ticketless. I’ve waded through all of the TV trailers from this year’s convention, and here are my four favorites... The Flash's third season just went from epic to magical.
Not only is the superhero series pursuing the game-changing "Flashpoint" arc, according to EW.com, it has also nabbed Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy in from the Harry Potter movies as a new regular!
Since I think of everything in terms of television, I could help but wonder about my favorite television papas. I've watched everything from the original Lassie (for you youngins, it's an old TV show about a beautiful collie that rescues an accidental prone little boy) to Empire. Narrowing down a list of favorites is almost as hard as finding the perfect "Thank you for giving me life" present for my own stubborn father.
Here are my 7 Favorite TV Fathers...
It’s been hours after The Flash dropped one of the most jaw-dropping finales in recent memory, and I’m still barely able to can. In typical “Rip My Heart Out, It’ll Hurt Less” fashion, Team Flash turned in another universe-preserving victory against formidable crackpot, Zoom, Barry professed his undying love to Iris, and then there was that ending.
Beware of spoilers below… I may not be able to "vibe" like The Flash's Cisco Ramon, but I can predict that, at the very least, the first two season of The CW's saga of the Scarlet Speedster will go down in history as one of the best superhero series of all time.
Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) superpower may be his incredible, sound-barrier shattering speed and astounding intelligence, but Greg Belanti and Co.'s is the ability to combine a stellar cast, technology and oodles of television magic to create a TV show that's akin to diving face-fist into the comics without all that pesky danger. Case in point: This Tuesday's penultimate episode, "Invisible," in which Zoom's army of Earth-2 meta-humans have descended on Central City to wreak havoc on its inhabitants. "Invincible" is jam-packed with gargantuan moments, and here are the biggest of the big. Season finales of your favorite shows are rapidly approaching, and they can be metaphorical hurricanes for your favorite ships. The end of the season always courts heightened drama, screaming-inducing cliffhangers and swoon-worthy hook-ups.
Let’s review the statuses of your favorite TV 'ships from Jane The Virgin, Grey’s Anatomy, The Flash and more before they’re docked for the summer. If you're a fan of superheroes, it's ridiculously easy to get swept up in the grandiose notions of the greater good and the overwhelming cool that comes with being on the right side of good versus evil.
The concept is simple: if you are gifted with insane strength, fearlessness and a kickass utility belt or the speed force after a freak and science-y lightning strike, then it’s your duty is to do as much good as possible. It’s the actually bedrock of superhero franchises, and most come pre-packaged with their very own mottos. I’m fond of the Star Trek movie, Wrath of Khan’s “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Spider-Man, in most of its many iterations, is fond of “With great power comes great responsibility.” So it’s no surprise that Barry Allen—the fastest man on Earth 1—has grappled with the concept of the Capital-G Good in the last two episodes of The CW’s The Flash "Versus Zoom" and this week's "Back To Normal". Valentine's Day either reaffirms your love for your bae or is a bleak reminder of how painfully single you are. Regardless of your romantic situation, why not bask in the eternal happiness or misery of imaginary people? Let's review the statuses of your favorite TV 'ships from New Girl, The Flash, Grey's Anatomy and more...
