Have you heard? The Flash is returning for its third season tonight and, after the events in the season finale, things will kick off with an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint. But before you dwell on the imminent threats that will arise from the big change, here’s an Honest Trailer from the team over at Screen Junkies to remind you why this show is both light and fun, and a dramatic soap opera with spandex suits.

Clever editing made me forget how often Caitlyn mentions her dead fiancee Ronnie or the fact that Cisco might actually have an oral fixation. As for Dr. Wells, I always knew he was a shady character, but this just makes it that more obvious. And yes, there is something inherently shady about the villain prison underneath S.T.A.R. Labs. I mean, do they even have access to a bathroom? They’re still human for the most part.

Jokes aside, this trailer is a friendly reminder that Barry and friends are returning to our screens very soon, and that’s more than enough reason to celebrate. Who’s ready for some Flash tonight? How do we feel about this Flashpoint storyline? Thrilled? Not so much?
