To be honest, I was annoyed with seeing another Eobard. I assume the 2049 one is the one we saw in the Crisis on Earth X crossover since he still had Wells' face (for whatever in-story reason). I really hoped his time on Legends was the end of him as a "present" character.
He has to be that one, though the reason for his Wells-face remains ominous. The show reason will be because Matt Letcher couldn't dedicate himself to the season (Thawne will no doubt become the antagonist either toward the end of S4, or through S5). I do hope there's an storyline reason though, other than "I like this face so I'm keeping it" cause that's just lazy.
Is Sherloque really Thawne? He's acting suspiciously and didn't he use the same phrase as Thawne Wells ("clever girl")?
Nah, I doubt he's Thawne; that would be far too cheesy - but then this is the Flash, so who knows. Hah!
Maybe Nora is working with future Thawne to try to get Barry back. Perhaps she's struck some deal with him.
This seems the most likely outcome, though Barry (future Barry) vanished with Thawne didn't he? Maybe Thawne for whatever reason actually needs Barry to come back too; I can't think what other reason he'd have to help Nora.
I must confess too, but surely there's got to be a way to undo what Thawne initially did in with killing Nora (Barry's Mom, not Daughter). In the original timeline (the one we never got to see) Barry's Mom didn't die, and yet he still becme the Flash, so it was Thawne that was first to screw up the timeline and change things, and that change can't be a fixed point in time because it's already been changed once.
Could it also be (somehow) that the future Nora Jr is from is one where Thawne didn't kill Nora Sr, and that's why she had no recollection of it? Could it be that Nora Jr's future was (or still is) the very original timeline? I don't know how that would make sense (how would she even get there if that isn't the future) but it would explain a few things and open a couple of doors.
Since their plan to go back to the past to get various items to use against Cicada didn't work, then they did that all for nothing. They needed Killer Frost all along. Why didn't they think of using her earlier since they should've known her powers don't come from dark matter?
Sometimes the obvious has a way of staring you in the face, and you still don't see it.
You would think Iris would say something. Especially if Nora caught Thawne in that world, Iris would mention how this man killed your grandmother.
If you'll read my reply to Dark Raven above, I'm wondering whether it's possible that Nora is from a/the future before Thawne went back and killed Nora.
Except it's clear Iris in the future is a massive control freak. With reasons, of course, but we know she and Nora don't get along because of it. And since Iris was hiding Nora's powers we can assume that she was telling her daughter next to nothing that was important. From Nora, we know that she learned all she does know about Flash and his Rogues from the museum and not her mom. And since Thrawn killing her grandmother was, apparently, not in the museum then she wouldn't know of it.
Except Nora idolised Barry, so she should at least have researched a bit about him; and found out what happened to her grandparents?
Anyone make a list of all the heroes shown on the Old Flash's earth?
I believe (if my memory serves me correctly) we've got the following;
- The Flash (a Barry Allen version)
- Green Arrow
- Huntress
- Hawkgirl (or) Hawkman (maybe both?)
- Firestorm was mentioned somewhere
- Stargirl
- Captain Cold
- The Ray
- And possibly Jessie Quick
