This is correct, in a sense... I know you have heard of "peripheral vision" right?, well, for me, Oliver taught Barry about "peripheral scenarios" [whether it is in combat or not etc], not only that, "Oliver" also taught Barry how to "LOOK/OBSERVE" a scene before "Re-acting" to it instinctively... simplistic way for me to point out. And we all know that either "Zoom" or "RF" was NEVER taught this, thus, they have their own way of doing things and can NOT comprehend why they fail... NOTE: that is just my opinion and also thinking outside of the square.

Only way to make that theory plausible for me is for the flash to constantly be turning his head at high speed to get a 360 degree view at all times.

It'd be cool if he did that now I think of it. But again, not the case on the show.

I mean...not everything is 100% perfect. I still see that scene as a bit of a problem. It could've been done in so many other ways.

Anyway...

I think you have slightly missed my point, other than "peripheral vision", Oliver taught Barry to look beyond the basic scope when entering a situation... look at all avenues/aspects and be prepared for anything, maybe [keyword "maybe"] Barry was prepared to be shot from behind before entering the area, thus, he was able to stop that bullet.

Now, on the last episode, he got knocked back with a simple sonic blast, thus everything that Oliver taught him went out the window...

It is only a make believe show, and it does not matter how we interpretate certain things, those things may NOT exist in that dimension, maybe the guns firing is just as instantaneous as the projectile... just speculating this because in our reality, the flash does not exist.

yes I do

I felt the bullet hit me due to my super speed nerves. then instinct took over and I diverted the energy from the bullet, causing it to fall to the ground. not until after I nice little friction burn tho =/

I know im not as fast yet in real life as in the comics, but in the comics ive had 50+ years to grow and learn from others about things that I have no clue about atm.

he can't dodge turret arrows from oliver, but he can avoid bullets from guns at point blank.

damm

how exactly did dude in the car escape? a lone guy won't get very far on foot with the flash right there. i'm confused. or did the girl lie and bring the guy to safety and only pretended he left?

glad they brought in Malese Jow.

i think she got him out safely before the flash caught her. remember in the end, she said she still loved him. This probably means she bought the guy to safety. Maybe the guy will come back in future epsiodes with powers or something.. to try to get back at the flash.

how exactly would that be possible cuz the whole reason she got caught was because she couldnt teleport in the dark. i think he just said w/e about the guy because he was only really after the meta human.

before all the lights ran out, she teleported him away. she started to know tat the flash knew her weakness when she looked like she was panicking in the car. if thats not how the guy got away, then i dunno how else he got away lol
