Great season finale. No dragging on with more questions no reveals BS like Lost. When I heard the gun shot, I thought Joe shot RF. Never thought Eddie would shoot himself.

It's going to be revealed that Eddie got some random donut waitress pregnant before he became a detective. She's kept it a secret but with his death she comes forward to claim his insurance to help raise little Eddie Jr.

Personally I thought what would happen was that instead of saving his mom, he would save the REAL Harrison Wells and that's how Tom Cavanagh would stay on for the rest of the series.

Great finale nonetheless. Can't wait for S2. Hopefullly they redesign the costume to the classic one sooner than later.

People keep wondering about Barry's vision in the Speed Force where he saw himself in jail. Only read the following spoiler if you want to hear informed speculation that may play a big part in the Flash's distant future. Honestly, non-comic book readers probably shouldn't read this info.
Spoiler:

One of the most shocking moments from the Bronze Age of comics is when Barry Allen snaps Professor Zoom's (Reverse Flash on this show) neck and kills him. Zoom had intended to kill Barry's fiancee at the altar of the superhero's wedding. Barry is arrested for manslaughter by the police.

Does anyone have a clear screenshot of Barry in the "classic" costume? The ones I've seen all show a somewhat unlit, blurry version of the existing one.

Watched it again. The conversation between Well's and Cisco cracked me up.

"Cisco, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, it sucks."
"Not for killing you. I'm sure I had a good reason."

Did they make a punch bowl out of Jay's helmet?

That would make for a good, paradoxical, timey-wimey plot.
Wow, excellent point. Barry preventing Eobard from returning to the future and erasing him from existence(yes it was Eddie, but they were all on the same side) would be a pretty strong reason hate him for eternity.

As much as I loved this episode, I didn't care for how they telegraphed Eddie's sacrifice. The moment Stein gave him the pep talk about coincidence and hammered home the point that Eddie had the ability to choose his own destiny, I knew that Eddie was going to kill himself to stop Eobard.

I wonder how Legends of Tomorrow will do. I hope it's good but I don't see it being as popular as the Flash.

With the crossover episodes planned with Arrow and The Flash, I don't see how it won't get noticed. You better believe The CW is going to make a huge promotional push for it this winter.

If history has proven anything, the more heroes appear all at once, the more popular it will be. I expect Legends to break all ratings records. Wait until 2029 when a Marvel vs. DC movie finally gets made that shatters the space-time continuum.

That'll be a movie that'll feel as if it were written by someone with Bipolar Disorder.

Great season on TV ! so much better than Arrow

Yes i teared up with the Barry and his mom scene

and Eddie rocked this episode !

Tom Cavanagh has had an effect on this series not unlike John Hannah in Spartacus

For this reason, i can't see them not keeping him around, maybe as the real Harrison Wells in Season 2

at this point in time, not really feeling this Legends of Tommorrow. We are approaching Superhero tv show critical mass

In the DCU nobody dies, they just get retconned.

That's Earth-0. This is the Arrowverse, or as I call it, the Flashverse

I enjoyed seeing the Golden Age Flash's helmet but I guess I missed or didn't understand why it showed up. What was the reason behind that?

There was no explanation given, it just popped through the wormhole. Thawne knew it's significance, but that was all the info we got about it.

So is Well's actor off the show? Didn't know if they were going to try to say altering time made it so the real Wells would show up and be part of the cast.
