The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 3

[KillerMcQueen]

I really like how they did Reverse Flash in the show. A yellow costume could have easily looked bad. The black gradation, the red glowing eyes, the voice, and the bigger muscle build made him very menacing.

I'm loving the costume ring as well, hope to see Barry get one towards the end of this season or in season 2.

 

[DigificWriter]

I think there might be more than one "man in the yellow suit."

I don't. We don't know how Wells was able to beat himself up, but he clearly did.

 

[roach]

At the end Cisco mentions that there maybe two speedsters that night when Barry's mom was killed.

Spoiler

I think we're supposed to think there will be two Reverse Flashes...which would explain how Wells was able to beat himself up...but I think we'll find out that The Flash was there and maybe the one that got little Barry out

 

[antsman41]

Damn, that was amazing.

 

[Jaspertian1105]

That was insane! such an awesome show, but man that ending was a mind****. They said Wells isnt someone from the comics, but he is possibly the reverse flash? is there more than 1? how the hell did he beat himself up? what is his plan exactly with Barry? for a mortal enemy he sure travels back in time just to create it, why would you do that with your enemy? i don't think the answer is that easy

One of those speedsters was the RF (Wells), and the other was someone who showed up as a red streak (likely Barry).

 

[Anubis]

It was probably Barry and RF going at it during a battle through time that apparently resulted in his mom getting killed in the cross fire. (Or intentionally.)

So, anyone else think we'll eventually see two Flashs duking it out against two Zooms? We know there was definitely a second Speedster at the Allen house that night. And even with Wells revealed as Zoom, I get the feeling that the Zoom we saw kicking Barry's ass, was in fact Eddie. The reason I'm convinced it's him, is because of Zoom's impeccable timing. Appearing right after Iris told Barry the news, that she'd be moving in with Eddie. He wouldn't miss the opportunity to watch him in pain.

So with potentially two Zooms around, it wouldn't really be a fair fight for Barry. That's why I think future Barry might be around as well. But hiding right now, as to not mess with past events, until he has no other choice but to intervene.

I've mostly been a Batman guy growing up, is Firestorm usually a good guy or ?

 

[Anubis]

Good guy/guys.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I doubt we'll see two Reverse Flash's just yet, I think they'll want to save Zolomon and the character's somewhat unique form of superspeed for a later season. My money is on Well's being a version of Eobard Thawne and a descendant of Eddie's. As far as two Flash's go, I really don't want to see any sort of future Barry for awhile, Jay Garrick and his endearingly cheesy helmet on the other hand can show up whenever they want.

He's a good people.

 

[antsman41]

Cool cool...

 

[BeaverJuk]

Great episode but the real question...
How long till we get it where Captain cold, Heatwave,Clock King and Count Vertigo are all inprisoned by the flash and stage a Prison Breakt:

 

[Silver Surfer]

Haven't really gotten into the romance aspect of the show but that scene where Barry confesses to Iris, it really got me in the feels.

 

[Human Torch]

Arrow has got some big boots to fill,if they're going to meet-let alone top- this mid season finale.....

 

[DigificWriter]

Arrow has a duel between Oliver and Ra's; it's also got a major pivotal reveal in the offing. If that's not enough to help its midseason finale top Flash's, I don't know what would be.

 

[Human Torch]

I frankly don't have very high hopes for their version of Ra's....but that's a subject for another thread,I suppose.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

And to think, we'll have to wait for another month after tonight before we can get excited again for new flash episodes...

That's unpleasant.

 

[Brian Braddock]

I guess that the only good thing about the show airing weeks behind in the U.K. is that it means that they are able to run the show each week with none of the breaks that the U.S. experiences.

 

[king666]

REVERSE FLASH!
FIRESTORM FLYING!
COSTUME RING!

Great episode! They nailed it. I really liked the way they handled the Barry/Iris romance. I've been saying it since the first episode, Barry should just tell Iris. And he did!

 

[king666]

The hiatus though.

 

[RetroNaz]

I don't. We don't know how Wells was able to beat himself up, but he clearly did.

I'm waiting for time travel to come into play.

Flash and Zoom were clearly there prior to Barry's mum being killed, which could be achieved by travelling through time with speed force.

I suspect Wells future self travelled into the past to beat himself up. Perhaps it's part of the act to ensure he's not a suspect, regardless of the whole wheelchair thing which the team have no idea about.

 

[cyclone]

OK. So here goes.

Time travel in films/TV has always interested me, and after last nights episode I've been putting it down on paper, trying to map out a possible explanation/series of events. I've put it below, with explanations. It's in spoiler tags cos it's quite big.

Thoughts? Also, if anyone's confused I'm happy to try and explain further....

What it doesn't do is explain Eddie's part in it all. I'm sure there's a reason (Future) Reverse Flash didn't kill him, but at the moment I can't factor it in to the explanations below;

Link for better quality as it's apparently shrinking on this post :S - Here

 

[C. Lee]

I don't. We don't know how Wells was able to beat himself up, but he clearly did.

Time travel....a future version of yourself can come back in time and beat up a younger version of yourself.
