Brian GordonThe Series 10 companion is named Bill Potts, but she's a woman. This seems like a very unusual name for a woman. Is this more common in the UK? What is it short for?

I'm assuming he must have come from a further future, and he has experienced Flashpoint and the events post-Flashpoint to know that saving Nora Allen and getting her killed again would later cause Cait...

@Babelfish while a legitimate question, the wording is a bit weird.
@Gallifreyan error when clicking the link for me
@Mithrandir Crap, it needs to be 1280 instead of 128. Can you fix it?

(but I also made a slight other change that you can kill me for)

Q: Why did Wally Have his powers even after Savitar is dead

MadhanWe have seen that when Flash had an amnesia, Wally Lost his powers. But when Savitar died, that means he was never created in the future and Savitar will never plan on creating Wally as Speedster to take his place in speedforce. That means Wally shouldn't be a speedster right?

@Gallifreyan For your consideration:
wrt to timing, can I request Sunday night instead of Saturday night? There's a much larger chance that I'll be able to join on a Sunday night than Saturday night; I've wanted to join the film night for the past few months, but haven't been able to :/ — Shokhet 1 min ago
i've been considering whether we should have Sunday follow-up film days
like, film night on a saturday, and another less formalised event on sunday for those who couldn't make it
