- Still not convinced that Wells is Reverse-Flash, mainly due to the presence of Thawne. If Wells is Reverse-Flash, something is still up with Thawne.
- Awesome appearance by Firestorm. I really like how The Flash and Arrow build sidekicks and villains through the comics.
- I also really enjoy Caitlin and Cisco as the nerdy sidekicks.
- So, two Speedsters present when Barry's mother was murdered? Flash and Reverse-Flash from the future in the midst of a battle? Will be interesting to see how this detail plays out. I wonder if the mystery Barry's mother and The Man in Yellow will be solved this season, a la Arrow's overarching crisis/big bad/mystery for each season.
Spoiler:
I believe Eddie is the TV equivalent of Malcolm Thawne, Barry's long lost twin brother. Read more on Malcolm if you want more details on that. Eobard Thawne, Barry's Reverse-Flash, is a descendent of Malcolm's which would explain why Reverse-Flash (Wells/Eobard Thawne) didn't kill Eddie - if he kills Eddie, then he ceases to exist.
That's pretty evident by the fact that they took a direct Professor Zoom tactic out of Flashpoint and used it in the TV show - travelling back in time, killing Nora Allen, and framing Henry Allen for her murder.
My wife likes it and it makes her happy, so I like it by extension.
He is a bit of a Jag though. Does public autograph signings but refuses to get into character or even put on the glasses. Wants to be taken seriously as an improv guy.
I don't know how you follow Billy Bob Thorton but I don't think it's with Kirsten Dunst... still the first season was fantastic so obviously I'm going to watch.
So, Superman will be Atom or is it A.T.O.M.? Pretty cool, even though I don't really know the DC universe very well.

Spoiler:
Did we know this was happening? I saw an interview where these pictures were brought up...but I didn't see that coming at all. Other than the sudden interest in martial arts training.
