A save point!!@#$. Helena is using her haid!! Also makes me think she's going to need it. :/
And the "end of everything" seems to be her imagination of what will happen if they don't stop Slade. I mean. She's probably right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finished book 3:
spoiler
Yeah, that save point was good thinking.
Didn't work too well. I feel like they could have had a better plan, but whatever. It does seem like Slade is dead but now they have some other problem. I think more powerful and possibly worse!
I just started 4- So now have no idea what's going on again.

Yeah I feel like their save point could have been a little earlier than that. How about you give yourselves a few hours to discuss what went wrong last time and come up with some new strategy and contingency plans!@#
Not really seeing how Helena will be getting out of there but I guess we'll see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also no idea where this will all end up 🤔

But it's like when you track changes in a document cuz everyone still remembers the version you hit undo on!
So Helena is going to go back and what exactly? Not sure I see how she thinks she can fix any of this. It is a cat that is out of the bag and unputbackintothebagable. At least that's how it seems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, I thought her idea was sound for where she was at.
She thought, fuck, we need more time. I know! I'll give myself 30 years to figure out a plan!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems better than just watching everything get towned, likely so much you're rendered completely powerless and useless. Or dead.

So finished book. I got a bit confused with the solution when I first was reading Barry back in his original timeline. I was all, how is he gonna get onto the oil rig! Then I remembered that wasn't the original timeline! And then he goes to Slade's apartment and I'm all oh right! This is him planning out his original plan after he realizes wad the chair does! ;pointstohaid; So, I thought it was wrapped up pretty well. Not sure WHY a dead memory undoes it all, exactly. But OK. There is some pretty crazy moments in this book. Like thinking about everyone reliving being killed horrifically and painfully in a nuclear attack over and over again.  Seeing people raining down as they jump from buildings. With the nuc attack I could see the mass suicides more so than before when it was just haidsplody. I guess that's it for now. See wad you has to say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Only the FIRST dead memory undoes it tho. Have to make sure you are on gray memory nosebleed timeline #1 or it won't work. I kind of like that he didn't actually go into the new original timeline where Barry keeps her from towning everything with her chair. Just leave it open ended. Maybe she builds it anyway but they keep it super secret!@# Also!~!@# also the solution ended up being Barry going back!@# but he didn't figure it owt until she had used up all her nosebleed times. oh well. I kind of thought that once they were in that antarctica bunker, she wouldn't have to jump into the tank the instant the nukes all go off. like it would buy them a cushion of time for her and barry to be together with all their gray memories. :eyeflash: instead f the 10 minutes or whatever they usually would get. unless people are dying to nuke antarctica. :umm:
but then he could have remembered his convo with slade and had time to figure out with helena how to do it! i mean, he got pretty lucky considered he almost oxyfrozed himself to suicide death before remembering!@#$
all in all, a great read. another author using that idea could easily have gotten sidetracked into describing past life detilas too much and gotten the story bogged down into reliving things and choices and whatever. this guy is just like NO TIME FOR LIFE STORIES MORE PLOT HAVE TO PLUDGE FASTER!@#$@# WHOO!@#@$ and i guess i enjoyed that.

It seemed like each time they ended up at the failure point after working on the problem for 30 years it surprised them at how fast they and everything was screwed and they had to race to the chair. Like the first time they were all, huh, thought we'd has more time. 
Then the 2nd time they were all that was fast nuke times!! Self and wife! this is not greta!!!
Then they seemed to have it pretty down after that. Nothing they could do about Helena's mind being towned and things.
Anyway, yeah, good book times! Well done author person writer guy!!

Yeah the first time, when the soldiers swooped in on them, that I could excuse. Like DAMN THEY CAME AFTER US FAST!@# WHOA!@#
But the next time in Denver. Even if you don't know that nukes are going to be sent right away to make you melty an charry, they were still pretty far away from home for if more helicoptering soldiers came to find them! Come on people! BE IN THE SAME BUILDING AS YOUR CHAIR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!@#$ that was really really really dumb.
After that they seemed like they had it down pretty well. Felt like they should have had slade kidnapped somewhere where they could question him longer. but i get the explanation of why they were near San Francisco. but the NEXT time they should have bought themselves more time so helena could ask barry if she missed anything with slade after she had to go off to the chair! it was just a little frustrating that having THIRTY THREE YEARS every time they didn't plan for their last 10 minutes better.

I agree. Though their Denver excuse was that they changed their names, wasn't it? So, we're safe! And technically, if their concern was chopper attack, they were basically right. Just didn't count on the upped anti. |

Also, from wad I've seen about how actual nuke blows work, the author was pretty accurate I think. So I thought that was nice.  |

As we have learned and prooved and things, there is always a possibility of worse. We don't need to come up with them here for this scenario. That'd be pretty darn horrible in and of itself!!

I take that as a direct order to begin brainstorming worst death ways imaginable.... :pipe:
