I loved Barry's conversation with his Mom as she dies. I think it would have been a little cool to have it end with him saying "I'm the Flash", but it was still incredibly well done and emotional. Same with any scene with Barry's dad. I don't tend to get emotional, but I can't stop myself when Barry and Henry talk.

Speedforce was cool, the glimpses of Killer Frost and the Flash museum was cool. The teases to Cisco becoming the Vibe were cool as well.

Not a fan of the cliffhanger ending, but I know it'll definitely get a season 2 so I guess I can live with it. Also not a fan of how Barry was never able to beat the Reverse-Flash by himself. That was something I really wanted to happen since that first fight in the football field.
 
That was awesome! Best superhero show on TV. Great season finale to a great show. I didn't think it could top the episode before it, but it did

Wells/RF did say that they were always equals, and never strong enough to beat each other... so it doesn't really make sense, that young Barry could beat him on his own (if future Flash couldn't)
 
i don't know what i'm going to do with my tuesday nights now this show is so good. btw, am i the only one who noticed wells was in cell 52. coincidence?
 
Izombie is still going on.

I'm the same as well. It's hard not to. :csad:
 
Its been very long since something in movies or tv made me cry but tonight the Flash did it. That scene with his mom was so emotional, i couldn't hold it. It was damn good television and the best super hero show in the air by far, great work from everybody
 
And Superman's decision wasn't to save Lois in Superman 1?

actually he saved a lot of people who were killed in the earthquake.
and he didn't have a huge chance of creating a singularity that would swallow the Earth. Or 15 yrs of different probabilities piling up. But yeah,same thing.
 
[blackout]but, if Eddie kills himself, to prevent his bloodline from happening in the future, which makes the Reverse Flash not existent, [/blackout]why would that not create a new timeline because it was the actions of the Reverse Flash that technically started the show by killing Barry's mom and all events after?

October.
 
selfish trying to save his mom? who among us wouldn't try to do the same thing if they could? its not about begin selfish, i about having the chance to be with someone that was taken away from him. He is such a good person that he actually thought a lot about this decision, probably most of us wouldn't think about it twice before jumping in. Thats what makes Barry unique

The CW will be re-running all episodes from season 1 of The Flash but not sure which night. (It was mentioned towards the very end)

Did not pick that part up and I also missed the glimpse of Killer Frost.
 
I still don't understand the point of mentioning that Wells can only use his speed for only short periods of time and that he needs to recharge. It doesn't really have an effect on him. We've only seen him lose speed once, and it wasn't at a crucial moment.
 

yeah what we saw there at the end could have been that entire timeline being erased. Now could Barry have prevented that? It would of course create a huge paradox. And we might be bouncing around more than one timeline next season because of it.
 
So...

First timeline is Nora alive, Allen family together, Thawne in the future going back in time to kill Nora.
2nd timeline is the result of Nora being killed (Barry's life this season)
3rd timeline is created by Barry going back one day to stop Weather Wizard.

So we are in the 3rd timeline, heading into whatever happens after this black hole. At least that's how I perceive it. It is possible that there is another timeline where Barry does save his mom, bad stuff happens, so he goes back again to prevent it, which would be why future Barry shakes off current Barry.

:huh:

Either way, fantastic finale. Right in the feels with his mom.

I thought the show claimed the multiverse idea so wouldn't the Reverse Flash in the Current lineline still exist because he is from a different timeline then the one he is currently in

ie

Timeline 1

Barry and Reverse flash are both born, Barry's mother doesn't get killed

Timeline 2

What we see on the show, Barry's Mom get killed changing Barry's life up a bit

Timeline 3

In timeline 2 Cisco gets killed, in timeline 3 Flash reverses time 1 day

So.....

If the Reverse Flash of Timeline 1 was in Timeline 3, so he should still exist
 
In addition to the Multiverse, I hope we can see these other timelines you mentioned for next season.
 
I thought Victor Garber was great in this.

I don't know how paradoxes work, but I guess we have one now.
 
They should have used Victor Garber more in the Flash to be a counterpart to Dr. Wells. Glad he will be used in DC Legends. I suspect that the DC Legends cast will be in some of the Flash's second season before spinning off in January, 2016.
 
Because he time traveled to say goodbye Eddie had to kill himself to save everyone and there is a black hole over the city.

He's risking the lives of everyone on the planet just to save his mom.

Yes his initial going back was a bit selfish, although he had the support of those around him to do it. He's done nothing but good for others since he got his powers and this was his one chance to do good for himself and change the main cause of his superherodom, getting his father out of jail.

Once he got to the past and had the encounter with himself he realized that doing this would change everything he's known and he'd be better off in the world he knew, not the world he could create.

Thawne killing himself and in the process Eobard wasn't Barry's fault, they were both heroes and saviors in their own ways. The Black hole was going to happen regardless of Barry changing the past or not.

I swear some of y'all don't even watch the same show I do.

Because Reverse Flash had to exist and kill Barry's mother for the events that lead to Eddie shooting himself to occur, Eddie's suicide was influenced entirely by those events and was intentional, so it created a paradox rather than a new timeline.
