After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become...The Flash.

In the middle of the episode RF spoke just like Wells proper vocabulary.. He didn't sound like Wells but it was how he said something that kind of gave it away before the big reveal at the end. But Eddie and Wells will probably team up when Iris ditches Eddie for Berry.

For real this show has exceeded my expectations. Hope they can keep up with what they've been doing.

Flash is better than Arrow at the moment, but the Arrow hardly sucks.

I was personally disappointed that Dr. Wells is apparently Reverse Flash, he has been the obvious choice since the pilot, and I was hoping it ws not going to be " the Most obvious option" Still lie the show but this was a let down for me.

Calling it meow… Well's still needs Berry to unlock the secret to time travel for him.

Who is Harrison Wells? Is he Barry Allen from the future or reverse flash?

Hunter Zolomon and Eobard Thawne existing simultaneously is kind of cool.

At the very beginning of the episode when they first showed Barry chasing "The man in the yellow suit", they pretty much showed Well's face at one point. It wasn't as blurry as it was in the close ups. You could see the facial hair shadow that Wells usually has. I knew it was him at that point. Looked exactly like him. It was in the scene after Barry gave Iris the ring for Christmas when they showed a rather close up of the face. It was a quick glimpse, but you could clearly see it.

I'm still not convinced he's Wells. In fact I think it's further proof that they're in fact working togetherness. Remember! joe was tending to Wells while Barry was fighting Rev-Flash. I bet wells created the Rev-Flash. Which would explain why he has the costume.

Time Travel my friend… Reverse Flash has already shown he time travels to kill Berry's mom. So why not to get the takian device...

Just keep in mind that Zoom has mastered ability to create multiple after-images. Zoom is sooooo sick that if something doesn't work out his way that he just kills that particular person to change the outcome to his desire. When Wells and the reverse Flash was fighting (and even before), I'm pretty sure he was using multiple after-images which he can create using the Negative Speed Force (Which he indicated the he's the opposite of Barry).

Time travel is going be used alot in the series only because Zoom is in it.

Yep. He is clearly from the future and likely needs Barry to get up to speed to be able to open time travel for him. That is the ONLY reason he has Barry's safety in mind. He's clearly a cold blooded killer so expect him to be a villain from the future trapped in the past.

Reverse Flash is clearly a future version of Thawne who probably hates Barry because he "steals" Iris from him at some point. He was looking for tachyon particles probably as a way to speed up himself last episode. Sounds like he may be trapped in the past too.

This version of Zoom is very fast but not as fast to travel back and forth through time..yet. Barry hasn't even reach his level yet and Zoom was really just playing with Barry.

I believe that Well lost his Speed Force powers after he changed the time stream. 14 Years later, hi killed the original Dr. Wells and re-created the events Since he's a master level scientist. After Faroq stole Barry's powers and he took his blood, it is possible that he regained some of his speed (which was super sick if that's just a fraction that we witnessed this week. Now with the Tackion particles, he can absorb even more speed.

I think there is a huge time travel paradox going on of Butterfly Effect proportions…
RF involves 2 people Eddie and Wells… Wells said there was an accident that happened that killed his wife. I'm thinking thats part of his motivation to learn time travel at any cost and he is still trying to figure it out. But future Well's keeps coming back as RF to make sure Well's can complete his goals to learn to time travel from Berry. Hints the reason why Well's keeps pushing Berry to become faster and faster. When Flash in the future tries to stop this Well's gets Thawne (Eddie) to help him and gives him the RF powers and they team up against Flash…
just a theory that i thought of… I have so many more time travel paradox theories but this one might be one of my better ones.

I also believe that his suite will become completely Yellow once Zoom reaches is full speed which would be with the Negative Speed Force. Oh one more thought, he may used the Plastomorph to look just like the real professor Wells but his original look may look like Eddie Thawne. That would be the reason why he didn't kill Eddie because he is his descendent.

@slickrickdesigns

Paradox would be an understatement when dealing with Zoom.

slickrickdesigns - 12/10/2014, 11:17 AM
My original thoughts before last night were that RF was Eddie from the future, but I think the current RF/Zoom is Wells. Listen to the dialogue in last nights episode and compare it to the Vocab and correct vernacular that Well's uses and you will notice the pattern of speech is the same… Can anyone confirm or deny?

I can't watch again till after work. lol.

Zoom is so sick that he even went back in time and left the door open so that Barry's dog got hit by a car....He love Barry but Hates him even more...Sick

You can really tell who reads comics and who doesn't or at least the Flash comics. -_-

No it's just that there are people who get it because they've read the comics and those who don't understand how it's even possible for Wells to be in two places at once (I'm not saying that he was), but you can definitely tell who has read the comics. By the way it's not a bad thing if you haven't it might even be a little more exciting.

Now i know who Harrison Wells is, i saw the episode it was epic. Wells is the reverse flash.

Reverse Flash cant be Dr. Wells because they're BOTH FROM THE FUTURE.
