Unbelievable finale!
I was sad to lose Eddie but they made sure we saw him go into the wormhole/future. He'll be back.
I'm so jacked up for the multiverse. That's what I always loved about DC. Multiple Earths is just good old fashioned fun.
Oh and did anyone talk about Vibe/Cisco yet? I forgot in the new 52, one of Vibes abilities is to see into other realities. So Cisco is Vibe now!
I'm so pumped up, I just got a charlie horse in my leg! Agh!!

Snow is the third Killer Frost (New 52 version).
Louise Lincoln is the one with the mohawk.

Also in the speed force scene, we got a glimpse of the Flash Museum.

Problem is, if Thawne is never born, then he didn't kill Barry's mom. The entire timeline should've reset at that point.
This is why time travel confuses me
But that was an awesome finale for an awesome season. That was a Lost level season ending cliffhanger. But I am now definitely more excited for next season of Flash than Arrow.

But if Thawne hadn't killed Barry's mom, then he never would've been stuck in the past and threatened everyone, and Eddie never would have had to kill himself, so Thawne would never have been erased from history.
Never try and rationalize the events that proceed time travel.
My head hurts

If Thawne was erased with Eddie's death, why would Barry still be the Flash. Thawne told him he created him with the particle accelerator or was Barry destined to be the Flash some other way if his mom did not die?

You aren't going to get the definitive answer you're looking for.
Move along.

Andrew Kreisberg says killing off the beloved character "was literally the worst thing we could do to ourselves as writers, producers and friends."
A member of Team Flash's has made the ultimate sacrifice.
Eddie (Rick Cosnett) took his own life in order to stop his descendant Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh) in Tuesday's finale of The Flash, realizing if he killed himself, Eobard wouldn't be born. The plan worked, and Eobard vanished from existence after Eddie shot himself, leaving Barry (Grant Gustin), Eddie's former girlfriend Iris (Candice Patton) and the rest of the team to mourn.

Eddie wasn't the only one to sacrifice. Earlier, Barry made the decision not to prevent his mother Nora's (Michelle Harrison) death, because doing so would prevent him from becoming The Flash and would mean all the good he's done as the hero would be undone. It's a monumental decision, meaning Barry will go forward fully embracing his identity as a hero.
The finale leaves plenty of questions, among them: Will Eddie or Eobard be on the show in the future?
In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg reveals that Cavanagh will remain on the show as a series regular, weighs in on Eddie possibly returning, and teases "a bunch more villains" as well as additional speedsters for season two.
When did you know Eddie would make this sacrifice?
When we decided to name him Thawne, we hoped the audience would suspect Eddie was the Reverse-Flash because of his last name. We always knew Eddie would be his ancestor, but we weren't quite sure how we would end the season. The way things were moving forward, it felt like it was the best thing to do for his character. Like with Colin Donnell [whose character Tommy died in Arrow's season one finale], it was literally the worst thing we could do to ourselves as writers, producers and friends, because we all love Rick so much both personally and professionally, and we think he's crushed it as Eddie all season. We've all become very close. It's one of those terrible things. The story sort of tells you what it wants to be and as much as it broke our hearts, we knew this was the way the season needed to end.

What was Rick's last day on set like?
Usually the last day on set tends to be something very mundane. The last day on set turned out to be his death scene. It was a very complicated day, visual-effects-wise because of all the things that were going on. It was also a difficult day emotionally. Not only was it the end of the season, and everyone from the crew to the cast have just been killing themselves to make this show as good as it could be, it was also incredibly emotional. Just like Collin Donnell, Rick was told about the plan way in advance, because obviously we didn't want him to read it and be surprised. As soon as he found out, he kicked up his acting level a notch. It was almost subconsciously — his performance got even stronger, which again makes it even worse emotionally for us. Rick has been turning in his best work of the year in these last few episodes just like Colin did. I literally can't say enough about Rick Cosnett.
Will Eddie be back?
The great thing with our show — you saw it with Colin Donnell and with Caity Lotz [whose deceased Sara is returning for spinoff Legends of Tomorrow]— is just because you are dead doesn't mean you're not coming back. Especially in the world of The Flash, which involves time travel and real hardcore science fiction, there's always a way for Eddie to return and we hope Rick will.
How does Eddie's sacrifice works? Eobard disappears — but everything he did up until the finale still happened?
Our time travel, hopefully holds together as much as it can. It doesn't completely obliterate all of their memories of Eddie and everything, but it has the desired effect of "harm to Eddie means harm to Tom Cavanagh's character."
How did you lay the groundwork for Eddie to make this choice?
Eddie has been struggling these last few weeks hearing about the future and about how there is no place for him in the future. He wasn't going to believe in Wells' interpretation of the future. He was going to make his own decision and he basically decided to recommit to Iris, which only makes his sacrifice that much more heartbreaking. He didn't do it because he didn't have anything to live for. He did it because he had everything to live for.
What does this mean for Tom Cavanagh's future on the show?
Tom Cavanagh will be back. That is not in question. Tom Cavanagh will continue to be a regular.
This season was so well planned out in advance. Is that the approach you will take with season two — constructing a big master plan like you had for season one?
Not to pat ourselves on the back too much, but if you watch the pilot, there are clues that got laid out throughout the season. We've done the same thing for season two and hopefully we've created a structure and a scenario for season two that people will find equally compelling and equally interesting. Some of it has already been set up in the events of season one. Just like we do on Arrow, where without even realizing it toward the end of the season we're setting up the next season. Once people come back in season two, they'll look back at some of these episodes in season one and go, "Oh wait a minute, I see where this came from."
You've said season two will introduce more Speedsters. Is that going to be a major theme akin to the Rogues in this season?
Yeah. We are going to introduce a few more speedsters next year and a bunch more villains. How they and those villains come about is part of the surprise of season two. We're really excited. [Executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] and myself and [executive producer] Geoff Johns and the writers, the cast, the crew, the directors — we are so proud of this season of television. It really is a high mark for all of us and we feel a great deal of pressure and anxiety to live up to it, because it's been so well received. As proud as excited as we are about everything we've done this year, we really are just as proud and excited for all the things we are planning coming up and hopefully people will continue to take this ride with us.

The real Wells was going to make the particle accelerator. Thawne killed him to "speed up" the process.

That means that the real Wells is probably still alive. I can't wait to see the changes that are made to the timeline. Maybe Iris will stop sucking.

So I'm guessing Jay Garrick (especially since he is the Flash of Earth 2) and Walley West are locks. I wonder which other speedsters they plan on introducing.

I saw that! I think they dropped a ton of easter eggs when Flash was running around in the accelerator. Anyone notice Barry talking to his father, but their roles were reverse? Barry was in prison and his father wasn't. First thing that popped in my mind was Earth-3!!

The only ones not from the future or far future are Jay Garrick, Wally West, and Johnny Quick.

From the Speed Force:
Killer Frost
Barry does time
The Flash Museum
The Legends of Tomorrow
And one no one has mentioned yet, Check out Eddie's Necklace
Is it possible that the event that destroyed Eobard is also the event that creates the Reverse Flash?
