Is Barry dead? Has his replacement taken that trip? A lot of the top players of the deep state are MIA and they have replacements in their stead. How would Q know five years ago he would be taking a trip TODAY? I don't believe in time travel (at least no one has ever explained it well enough to me), so this means the only avenue for Q to know Barry was to take a trip today is have Barry in a cell and his replacement was told by Q to take the trip. That, I can believe.

That is purely conjecture, that you throw out as gospel IMO. The DS gains no logical upper hand by keeping replacements around. They'd sacrifice Barry as a martyr in a heartbeat, and the libs would tear their sackcloth pour dust on their heads, and then call for the end of the Republic.

He wouldn't. This is known as ret-conning and one of my least favorite hobbies I see on this board.

This is really the ONLY avenue you can believe? There are a number of reasons both nefarious and banal (I lean toward the former) for Barry to show up.
Thanks! I'll be honest, I feel like people have a lot more (bad, uniformed, magical) answers than questions. We seem to ask the right questions, but there are some DEEPLY held fringe beliefs (and that's all they are IMO) that have become more and more mainstream on here in the last couple of years. Nature abhors a vacuum and folks desperately want to fill the one left by Q, some of it is downright magical thinking, based of laughable pseudo-new-agey-science.

I for one appreciate your logical take and agree that despite deep levels of hope in the plan do have so many more questions than answers
