Some major hints were dropped about what's to come in The Flash during the show's PaleyFest panel today, including the fact that "Harrison Wells is just a guy who wants to get home," according to star Tom Cavanagh. That might just confirm fan theories that he's been trapped in the past since killing Barry Allen's mother, but we still don't know exactly WHO he is. Regardless, time travel is set to be introduced in the next two episodes, but that doesn't mean that the hero will end up deciding to save his mother says executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. "We’re definitely talking about the ramifications of time travel. There are episodes coming up where there is concern of certain events being changed in the past [that] would affect who people are and their relationships with each other. If the past changes, does the present change as well?"
One particularly shocking moment in a sizzle reel shown for The Flash appaently featured Detective Eddie Thawne shooting two of his fellow cops at point blank range in the back. Will his sinister personality finally be revealed? "Eddie has an amazing arc over the season and you’re going to be so surprised," is all Rick Cosnett would say. We'll also learn how the metahumans in the S.T.A.R. Labs pipeline are being tended to, while it was mentioned that neither Caitlin nor Cisco will be getting superpowers any time soon. Executive producer Greg Berlanti meanwhile teased that they're hoping to introduce "elements of the Wally West story in season 2". What do you think?
