And what has been shown and stated in that scene is clearly a new dystopian future that has replaced the post-Reach apocalyptic future. It's as simple as that. Don't try to twist it into something that it isn't. To most casual viewers, there was no change in the timestream. To us wiki-crazed fanatics, we know there's lack of ash fallout which indicates a new dystopian future. Why would the writers leave the scene unaddressed? Why, to leave some plot threads open for Season 3, of course.

Picture this:

Old Dimension -- Reach enslave Earth. Flash dies and Neutron has powers.

New Dimension -- Earth still crapsack. Neutron has no powers. He's just watched Impulse go back into time. To him, nothing's changed.

New, New Dimension -- Time travelers from the more-distant future go back in time and help fix everything. All is sunshine and puppies.

We didn't see the "New, New Dimension". Just the "New Dimension".
