The Flash Fast Enough (2014– ) Online

Wow. What a run. What a first season. Many people are comparing season 1 of Arrow and Flash and to me, it's about as dead even as you can get. Flash has been more consistently good. Even if we're comparing it to this season of Arrow, it's been better. Arrow usually has the best single episodes, but Flash stays great without as many flaws. No matter, 'Fast Enough' was quite a way to end the first season. The writers have surprised us several times this year and tonight was no different. And much like season 3 of Arrow, tonight could have served like the end of the entire series for Flash. It just had that feel to it.

We began the episode with a brilliant scene of Barry and Wells. Last week I thought there was too little of Wells for a penultimate episode, and even though I still feel like this episode could have had more Wells, he made his presence felt. The scene brought up the potential for multi-verses or parallel universes as Wells said, which to comic book fans, is pretty exciting. We also got the definitive answer to how much in the future Eobard Thawne is from, which is 136 years. What followed was a series of necessary but very repetitive group of scenes about Barry deciding whether or not he was going to help Wells get home in return for Barry being able to save his mom. I think it was pretty obvious he was going to accept the offer but end up not saving her. Which was why the 8 or so minutes of scenes felt unnecessary, especially in an already packed finale. I nonetheless dug both of the father scenes. This show can be funny and lighthearted most of the time, but it's the quiet and intimate scenes with Barry's fathers that really impress me. Gustin has proved himself to be very good at the dramatic side of Barry time and time again, and tonight was no different. It was heartbreaking to watch him tell Joe that he may lose him if he saves his mom.

Coming off last weeks guest appearance, both halves of Firestorm were there for.... oh wait there was really no point of them being there. Besides Stein telling Eddie of his worth, there was no reason for the characters to take up screen-time. Plus, Ronnie and Caitlin's wedding felt completely out of left field. To me, there was too much thrown into the finale for it all to feel fluid. With that said, there was also so much greatness about the finale. Cisco confronting Wells about killing him was great TV. And him finding out that he was indeed somehow effected by the particle accelerator was an interesting twist. One that I didn't see turning him into Vibe, but I'm interested to see where they take that storyline. Wells mentioning Rip Hunter, a main character from the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow spin off was also awesome.

When he finally does go back in time, the episode really shined. Hearing Wells say "run Barry run" one last time was pretty bittersweet. If I remember correctly, that was the first thing Wells said to him when he was trying out his powers way back when. I'm hearing Cavanagh will be back for season 2 in some capacity so that was great to hear knowing the chemistry that was built between the cast throughout season 1. Then a simple moment like future Flash saying no to Barry saving his mom was a fantastic moment. Subtle but really impactful. It was Barry's destiny to become the Flash, and he cant save his mom and do that. Barry's scene with his mom was also very emotional. Even though all we have seen of her was the flashback played over and over again, I felt a lot for Barry here. The chemistry was definitely present even for a first scene together.

But then, seeing Eddie sacrifice himself to save Barry was easily the best moment of the episode. Eddie has really come into his own as a character and that was a great character moment and twist for the fans. And yes, I'm sure he will also be back at some point down the line. The final ending was a bit of a cop out. I would have liked the episode to end definitively. We know what happens but I just feel like if we wouldn't have gotten the other unnecessary scenes, it would have wrapped up nicer. So season 1 has come and gone and it was largely successful. It had so many highs and very little lows. Here's to a very FAST off-season!

+Wells and Barry scene to open

+Multiverses

+Rip Hunter reference

+Father scenes

+Cisco/Vibe

+Eddie twist

+Future Barry says no

-Unnecessary repetitive scenes

-No need for the wedding

9.2/10

This episode had everything: action, intrigue, some sadness, romance, and a cliffhanger that will keep me stranded on that cliff for a whole summer. Many episodes do achieve the action and the emotion, but this episode went above and beyond. I felt like a had the speed in me when watching this specific episode. It made me cry at one point. It made me feel some emotions that I didn't even know I could feel. The Flash show has never let me down, but in this episode, it did the complete opposite, it somehow brought me up. With the teasers it gave, that enormous cliffhanger, and more, this show and this particular episode has changed everything. This is the greatest Superhero TV show ever. And what brings me even more happiness is that this is only the first season, the show can blossom into one of the greatest shows in our generation. And it is because of this episode that carried it so much. Marvel may have the upper hand when it comes to movies, but DC reigns supreme at Television and to be specific on how it got there, The Flash ran to the finish line and made its mark in Television History. Bravo Flash, you are Fast Enough.

Wow. Just... wow. Taking the carefully laid pieces from the first 22 episodes, this season finale assembles a near perfect conclusion to what has been an excellent inaugural season.

The bulk of the episode is like a pregnant pause as our characters make a series of difficult choices in route to an event with epic consequences. The performances have been strong all season, with the core cast inhabiting their roles and showing a strong chemistry, but I dare say that here each and every actor gives their best performance of the season. It helps that every character has their own section of crucial dramatic turf to stand on.

The final 10 minutes promises epic, and boy does it deliver. Earth is literally in the balance, but that's standard for these kinds of stories. What separates it from even the very good genre fare is that here I cared what happened to these people just as I would actual friends. The human drama is what really helps lift all of the fireworks into something more than just an "Ohh! Ahh!" moment.

If I had any criticism it's that it ends on a cliffhanger. A MAJOR cliffhanger. I didn't expect everything wrapped up in a nice, pretty bow--this is a TV series after all--but as it stands it felt like an unnecessary hook (see; gimmick).

But that's not enough to detract from what is easily the best episode of the series, and one of the stronger episodes of dramatic television I've seen in some time.

"Fast Enough" is easily one of the most compelling, exhilarating and heartbreaking episode throughout the series. The characters whom you've hated (ehem) and those you've loved that were introduced in the very first episode are finally here, developed, changed throughout the season and grew a huge connection to the audience. Does it pay off? Hell yeah it does.

The episode kicks off with Harrison Wells giving Barry a chance to "save" his mom and provide him with everything that he ever wanted. With that in mind, the episode pushes forward in the first half and we see Barry's struggle with his friends and family whether this will be the right thing to do. Right off the bat, the first half of this episode was excellent full of heartfelt moments and scenes that really get to you. It felt like it was a farewell to the timeline and a farewell to the things Barry held dear throughout the season which was incredibly fitting and heart hitting especially since this is the finale. As the first half continues, it gets better and better. Characters like Eddie was really developed well and he was like the guy who felt out of place in this show and I like the fact that they addressed that therefore giving us a special connection to him, even if he was useless or out of place you felt for him and that was well done by the show, well done. Then came the the second half or the climax as it is and boy..I didn't see that coming. Unfortunately for me, I got to watch the episode a bit late than others did and seeing some articles about how it was a shocking episode was really intriguing and I was at least half tempted to read some of the reviews but luckily I did not. When you though the episode would be very much laid out already because of the build up in the first half which was brilliantly done, NOPE, it goes to another whole direction which indeed got my heart racing and got me to the edge of my seat. Just after the first half hit our hearts, this next half gripped us all the way and of course ripped our hearts as well. The climax of this episode is easily on par with Out Of Time's climax which was also one of the best episodes of the whole season. The visual effects and action were much more stunning and as I said in my previous The Flash reviews having stated that I might be worried that the visual effects might fall short as episodes progressed, I was proved wrong in this finale. As Barry goes back in time, I wasn't expecting the things that was gonna happen, I was expecting this to happen which would then result to this and this then the episode did not in fact do that and it turned into another direction in a shocking, compelling and effective way. The death that occurs in this episode was extremely heartbreaking and I was never expecting they'd do it now. In fact, that wasn't the only death that was executed well, there was another one that does heartbreak you and plays with your heart strings which was massively affected Barry and the audience. Then towards the end, after the outburst, we're treated with a crisis and tremendous outbreak which threatens the world. Sure the cliffhanger got us gripping our seats until we wait for fall, but there's no denying how stunning this episode was and the whole freshman season of The Flash. There's no denying that this episode got us exhilarated, this episode got us feeling many things, but there is always one thing that this superhero comic book show that does extremely well and consistently that other shows sometimes fail to do, this show and episode indeed has tremendous heart and fun which was crucial to how this show became so successful and loved.

With all that, I'm very excited for Season 2. A fitting and wonderful finale to the first season of The Flash and it indeed got us wanting for more. +Excellent heartfelt moments, +Barry's struggle to find what to do right, +The first half of this episode was extremely done well, +A Wonderful Farewell, +Eddie's out of place character which was developed brilliantly, +The second half of this episode was exhilarating and heartbreaking, +Episode is unexpected and shocking, +Consistent Visuals Effects and Action, +Consistent heart and fun throughout the show.

Verdict: 9.9/10

Many who wrote negative reviews of the Flash early on this season now have no choice but to admit defeat, eat their words and bow their heads in shame for being so quick to dismiss the series' potential - some called it "moronic", "juvenile", "cliche"; one guy even called the show "dumb" and "uncreative". Season 1 as a whole has proved these critics wrong, dead wrong. This finale was the magnum opus that has put the Flash in the running as one of the best TV series of 2015. The season 1 finale was stunning, emotionally gripping, extremely well interwoven and well written as all the pieces of the puzzle so masterfully began to come together- I literally cried, a grown man turned to tears by the magic I saw before me on the screen. The Flash has been on a roll since 2015 (since episode 8, I'd say, with episodes 14-23 being just amazing). This show deserves higher than 8.8/10 on IMDb, not an 8.3 - I do predict the rating will go up once the critics who voted negatively watch the later episodes and change their vote.

Although I do agree with the critics on some points, I disagree on their final conclusion about the show. For example, I admit some of the early episodes (say episode 1-7) felt rushed at some moments, sometimes the story felt inconsistent, the writing was sometimes silly, and the acting a bit off at times and perhaps a tad unrealistic. Yet even in these slightly weaker episodes, nobody can deny that the Flash was always FUN to watch, extremely pleasurable, always a 10 out of 10 for entertainment. Unfortunately, many of the critics of the Flash probably stopped watching after these somewhat weaker early episodes, and boy are they now missing out on the ride we have all enjoyed since then. As the season progressed, the story began to make sense and fit together like pieces of a master puzzle. The writing turned superb, and the Flash has been on a roll since 2015.

Critics, rewatch the Flash again without prejudice this time. Stop these comparisons to Smallville- which, by the way, was good for its time. If you make it past the early episodes, when the entire season is taken into consideration the Flash is far less cheesy and possesses much more potential and far better writing than Smallville. Season 2 will be MIND BLOWING. I am super excited for the Fall. The Flash has done the comics justice and a lot of the inconsistencies that bothered me early on in the show have now been dealt with. I'm one happy viewer. What about you?

-----

P.S. The user who wrote the review "sorry, didn't float my boat" didn't even give the episode let alone the show a fair chance and imagines inconsistencies that aren't there. Everything in this episode made logical sense. He keeps telling us there are plot holes yet fails to mention even one that is convincing; the so called plot holes are just his personal prejudices and preconceived notions of time travel. Do us all a favor, don't write a review of a show you haven't taken seriously - sounds like you skipped more than episode 22 - more like 22 episodes.

Wow. Even at the beginning, when there wasn't much action, I was amazed. It was emotional, powerful, serious, dangerous, and, most of all, exciting. Eobard Thawne/Dr. Wells/Reverse Flash is a better villain than ever. At first, I thought he was interesting, then liked him, then liked him some more, but in this episode, he was downright epic. He was seriously amazing, and, even though I wanted the Flash to win, I couldn't help but think about how awesome he was(and I literally mean "awesome," fills me with awe). I was (HUGE SPOILER) actually disappointed to see him "die" (for now). He was well-played; Tom Cavanagh is a great actor!

There was some time traveling, but it wasn't very annoying or as messy as I had thought it would be. It was actually interesting.

I loved that Caitlin Snow actually married Ronnie. Nowadays, we mostly have a boyfriend and girlfriend that stick around together but never have confirmed marriage, much less a wedding.

At one point--actually, several points--near the end, I was disappointed. I thought, "Really? Why does this have to be so anti- climatic?" But it wasn't. It was one of those plots where you think everything is over and all is well, but there is a much, much bigger problem.

I gave the last episode ten stars; I enjoyed it, and nothing was wrong with it. However, this is even better, and if I could give it eleven out of ten stars, I would! It is downright amazing, stunning, and exciting, the best and most epic episode yet.

Oh, how I wish I could give this episode a 15 out of 10! This was to my mind one of the most compelling finale's to a series that I have ever seen. I have been truly and increasingly astonished by the remarkable writing of the script of The Flash.

My wife and I were on the edge of our seats throughout the episode, but also throughout the series and especially in the latter half.

The one thing I would like to commend the writers on, is their ability to draw the viewer into the story emotionally. Credit has to go to Grant Gustin as well, because the writers can write in such a way all they want, but if the character's portrayal of their ideas doesn't cut it, all that effort would be for no cause whatsoever.

I was most definitely drawn into the series emotionally. I really felt every emotion with Barry / Grant.

This last episode had a fair deal of heart break and I will admit that I shed more than one tear throughout the episode. I was in utter anguish with Barry.

Emotion, however, is certainly not the only aspect that one would want as a viewer. The viewer wants to be drawn into the story as well.

THAT I WAS!!!! There were moments during the series in which I was absolutely flabbergasted for a moment (To think of one, Reverse Flash revealing his NOT DR Wells face outside of Barry's home when he realized he got stuck a few episodes ago, another one is an unexpected, but very important (how can I put it) "very loud sound" in this last episode). I was kept guessing throughout.

Supporting actors: Who didn't love Cisco Ramon???? He was just super amazing and his whole character was so awesomely written! His facial expressions and his portrayal of this super passionate scientist were just awesome. I loved everyone, but admittedly I hated Iris at times. Eddie Thawne. What can I say? WHAT CAN I SAY??? AND THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! Overall I would give the first season a 9.5 out of 10. I LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! The last time both my wife and I got so enthralled in a series, was when we were watching the series MISSING, with Ashley Judd. Unfortunately that one got canceled after only one season with 10 episodes, and that on an awesome cliffhanger.

As a last thought, I have a question, though. Once the cliffhanger gets resolved: THEN WHAT, WRITERS????? How on earth are you going to manage to pull off the same suspense, emotion and fun in a second season????? How can this not become just an average superhero series going forwards?? I think the writers might have outdone themselves in Season 1, but if they can manage to recreate all these elements two seasons in a row, I might just start calling it one of the best series ever. I look forward to Northern Hemisphere Fall for Season 2.

Good luck and

Y O U

for writing such an awesome season!!!!!!!!!! :)

The last episode in season 1 is just the best episode so far period. So many choices, so many touching moments, so many excitements....

Will Barry change the future, or is the future already written? What if this event already happens and it is just inevitably. Whatever Barry decide it wont matter, the result will always be the same in the future...?

This show is good at so many views- Intelligent, strong, emotional and unexpected. I can just say one more time. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS OF ANY SEASON IN ANY SHOW THERE. I Can't wait to see what will happens at the begging of season 2...

The flash whole season was captivating and mesmerizing, the way it proceeded with the plot of Barry Allen past and the death of his mother kept everyone involved till the final second of the final episode.Many of us in our lives really want to change our past and so many things which happened in the past and till now we still are finding reasons for the happening of those event, many of us wants to change our past but we just cant and we probably will never, but the flash could have had his chance and watching this kept us all involved, mesmerizing, and probably going into the past played a big part in making this show the most successful one this year.

This show has really come a long way since the pilot episode and there have been many good episodes especially in the second half of this season. Out of time was the first episode that really reached a new level and now this episode has gone and surpassed that!

There was just so much going on in this episode and it really kept you guessing on what would happen especially with what Barry was going to do with the situation that enabled him to return to the night his mother died and when Eddie sacrificed himself to defeat Eobard/Wells.

I'm gonna keep this review short and just say this show has really improved since the pilot and with the crossover episodes with Arrow it has really kept me watching and I'm so glad I did to see such a brilliant episode such as this that packed so much emotion and action along with a clever and unique storyline (not to mention the cliffhanger). This show started off a bit cheesy but now it is as good as Arrow in my opinion

Can't wait for next season 10/10

I never really bothered to write a review but for this I simply had to... The Flash is easily one of the best TV show right now.. (Although I do love both Arrow and the criminally under rated Person Of Interest)..And this episode shows that it has the potential to go and become the best TV show of our times...Believe me if it had been on the network like AOS it would have beat the crap out of every other TV show in ratings..Again putting aside the disastrously under rated Person Of Interest..

Now onto the episode .Man was this episode great..Although I felt that the wedding was highly unnecessary...And the cliffhanger , it neither was required nor it felt so great but they couldn't possibly have executed that better...And the CGI was top notch in that scene ...

But something caught my mind.. Sure Eddie's death was shocking and it did give me the feels.. But shouldn't there be a paradox... Since Eddie died Wells or Thawne will never be born in the future.He wouldn't be an enemy of the Flash , he wouldn't go back in time and kill Nora Allen , he wouldn't build the particle accelerator and as a result the flash will never have existed..The same thing Barry decided not to let happen when he went to the past....So everything that Barry was wanting to happen in the future in the first place wouldn't it still all happen...??

I love this show. It's the only superhero show my mom will watch. It's funny, clever, heart- wrenching, and heart-breaking. That is why I love this finale. It ended season one, while keeping us excited for season two. One particular scene I loved was when Dr. Wells told Cisco he was a meta-human. This, I didn't see coming. Also, Eddie shooting himself to erase Eobard from history was a noble sacrifice. Now, to explain why this doesn't change the past. The wormhole broke a hole in the space-time continuum. This is why a paradox was not created. The space-time continuum is in shambles. The ending was great. It really made me want to travel forward in time, so I can see the next season. Overall, I have no gripes. This was perfect. But, I felt the pacing was a little bit off for the start, but that has no effect on my opinion of the episode as a whole. 10/10.

I couldn't be more satisfied with with this season's finale. Omg the ending was crazy and that cliffhanger was something else. I've enjoyed every episode of this series but this episode was legendary. It was simply perfect I rest my case.

Oh and to those who said that this episode didn't make sense, listen to this. The black hole was created because their time-line was an alternate time- line created by the reverse-flash. So his death removes that time-line he created with a black hole. Berry might close that hole and keep that time-line there or he might leave it. I'f you don't get this simple explanation, then you should quit watching TV and read a book.

This is the best TV show I've ever seen. The Flash season one is absolutely a master piece. I'm a great sci-fi fan, & this sci-fi, adventurous, comic, action- thriller show "made me the impossible". What? Yeah, i love all the episodes and the characters.Fortunately this was Arrow's loss and The Flash's gain. This episode is not what we expected. the episode contains:- Surprising climax, Tear jerking moments, Love, friendship, vengeance and obviously unexpected conquer of the enemy. The best scene was Barry meeting his mom. i was like, "Damn, ninjas.. cutting onions" And That supersonic punch from wormhole was amazing. This show need more support and popularity. Theoretical science is the point of the show, That's why i love it. Eagerly waiting for the next season.

The finale to the first season of The CW's THE FLASH really delivered the goods by resolving at least one season long conflict and leaving us fans with a cliffhanger that perfectly sets up what we hope will be an awesome second season.

The plot of this episode turned on whether Barry Allen will use the Speed Force to create a wormhole to go back in time and save his mother, change history and thus save his father from years of prison. The down side is that Barry's life with the Wests will never come to be and in the process, he will be freeing DR. Harrison Wells aka Eobard Thawne aka The Reverse Flash from the future, who is the real killer of Barry's mother. Not the mention that creating the wormhole might also result the creation of a Black Hole that will devour the Earth-just for starters. Typical end of the world stuff.

But what is most memorable about this episode is the many heart to heart scenes between characters as Barry attempts to make up his mind whether the risk is worth it to change history and what the cost could be to those closest to him. Many viewers were wiping away the tears as Barry talked things out with his father in prison and with Detective Joe West, the man who raised him. But there is also a father and son scene of sorts between Wells and Cisco that was memorable in its own way; and who didn't love the unexpected wedding of Ronnie Raymond and Catlain, one of the many couples on this show who have been through a tough time.

In fact the first forty minutes of the show was very long on the drama, but not much on the action, but it more than makes up for it in the conclusion when Barry travels to the past to save his mother from the Reverse Flash. This is where things really pay off because the story does not go in the direction expected. I fully thought Barry would end the season stuck in some hellish future or an alternate universe where everyone has super powers. Instead we get a brief encounter with future Barry and another tearjerker scene where Barry makes peace with his dying mother, then it's back to the present day for a final showdown with Wells, where Eddie Thawne turns out to be the true hero of the whole season when he sacrifices himself to stop his distant descendant from triumphing. And of course there's a problem with the wormhole and the season ends on cliffhanger as Barry races up the side of toppling skyscraper to save Central City and the world.

Grant Gustin has been the perfect Barry Allen, but he's been backed up by a superb supporting cast: Jesse L. Martin, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes (perfect as Cisco), Danielle Pennebacker, John Wesley Shipp and Tom Kavanagh. There are appearances by some of the season's best semi regulars in Victor Garber and Robbie Amell, who together make up Firestorm. And Wentworth Miller shows up briefly in the part of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold, this season's best villain after Dr. wells.

And having Jay Garrick's helmet fly through the wormhole was just too cool for words.

The finale sets things up for the series to delve in the DC multiverse next season and there have been rumors on Twitter that Tom Welling's Clark Kent/Superman from SMALLVILLE might make an appearance on the show. Even if that proves to be untrue, Season 2 should be awesome because the first season has been such a great beginning.

1. Barry opened up a wormhole that could destroy the city for no reason! He didn't even save his mother! So essentially he doomed thousands and thousands of people to go back and time and have a moment with his mother. You can already see that there has to be many many casualty's due to the black hole because it completely destroyed that skyscraper.

So Barry went back in time to say goodbye to his mother and LET HER DIE (AGAIN) and in exchange, Eddie and thousands of others are now dead. This makes no sense. Barry is supposed to have near genius level intellect, and it was obvious this was going to happen.

Overall I really enjoyed the season, and loved the casting of Barry and Wells especially, but this finale did not live up to expectations and was poorly written.

First of all, this series is one of my favorite...the latest episode though disappointed me. The writers didn't seem to grasp the concept of time paradox. They started to explain multiverses and parallel universes as the episode progressed but failed miserably at the end. Everything in the series happened because Eobard Thawne went back in time, assumed the life of Harrison Wells and then created the Flash (Barry Allen). When Eddie Thawne shot himself, the episode showed Eobard ceasing to exist. But how was it that only Eobard was affected when everything that happened to the series was because of him? Without Eddie Thawne, the lineage of Eobard Thawne wouldn't exist. No Eobard Thawne, then no Reverse Flash. No Reverse Flash means Eobard didn't go back in time, so no particle accelerator explosion, no flash, no series. Yes, Eobard Thawne did mention in previous episodes that he assumed the life of Wells to accelerate the particle accelerator project and with it (maybe) the accident and the creation of Flash. So eventually, the real Wells would create the Flash which could somehow explain why only Eobard disintegrated. But then again, even if Wells created the Flash, none of them will have the same experience as what transpired in the series leading to the fight of Flash and the Reverse Flash. All of them should have ceased to exist in that scene. So yeah, I'm giving this episode a 1, for ending a superb season so badly.

Well, I actually didn't want to watch "The Flash" anymore and skipped episode 22. Just out of curiosity how all the mystery around Wells/Thawne and the Flash is resolved I tuned in for the season finale. Was it worth to watch? In a word: NO! It started OK. The conversation between Wells and Barry was quite cool actually and Wells's offer to give Barry the opportunity to save his mother by going back to the past was interesting. Barry's dilemma of changing the timeline by going back and saving his mother and losing everything he gained and achieved in the alternate (actual) timeline was promising. But the problem with time travelling stories is, they can become very illogical and inconsistent. And that is exactly what happened in this finale. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge SciFi fan and I like the idea of time travelling and if the story is carried out in a movie properly, they really can be fun. A few examples where it worked nicely are "Back to the Future", "Terminator", "Twelve Monkeys", or "Donnie Darko" (okay, this one is not really about time travelling, but more about an alternate timeline, but I liked it).

So, what was wrong in this finale then? In my opinion the following issues made the plot less enjoyable for me:

1. Alternate Timeline-Flash goes back in time to the event when his mother was killed and then has a non-verbal communication with Future-Flash which prevents him to save his mother. Well, as I said time travel stories are difficult to handle, because of all this time paradox thing going on, but how this twist was handled doesn't work for me. The issue I have with it is: How does Future-Flash know that Alternate Timeline-Flash is there to rescue his mother? I mean, the alternate timeline hasn't been created yet, because the event, which caused the alternate timeline hasn't taken place yet. Hence, as far as I can see, there is no way Future-Flash would know why Alternate Timeline-Flash appears and what his intention is.

2. Alternate Timeline-Flash comes back to his timeline, destroys Thawne's/Reverse Flash's "time machine", is beaten by mad Reverse Flash who proclaims to kill everybody Alternate Timeline-Flash cares about. Eddie Thawne wants to become a hero and shoots himself to save everyone. Oh boy, I don't even know where to start and what to say to that.

3. With the death of Eddie Thawne the Reverse Flash (Eobard Thawne) is erased of existence and this causes a singularity which will destroy the earth. Well, this is not illogical, but the problem I have here is, it was never clearly explained how Eddie Thawne and Eobard Thawne are related. If you go down the genealogical tree of the Thawne family is there a direct link between Eddie and Eobard? If not, then it would be very difficult to explain why Eobard Thawne was erased of existence.

One other thing that bothered me was the way how Flash goes back in time: He has to run with the speed Mach 2 (twice as fast as speed of sound) and then collide with a Hydrogen particle to create a wormhole. Okay, just to be clear. I am aware of that this is not a SciFi show, but a comic book adaption. Despite I am aware of this fact, it bothered me.

There were few other things that ticked me off, but I don't think it is necessary to go into any further detail. After this finale I am certain, I won't watch "The Flash" anymore. There are too many plot holes for my taste and this hinders me to enjoy the show. Thank you for reading my last review of this show.

P.S.: To the user of the review "Season 1 Has Officially Proved the Critics Wrong!" who made a reference to my review:

A review always expresses a personal opinion. I am okay with it, if you don't agree with my opinion and if all the things happened in the show made perfect sense to you. But stop dissing somebody and making assumptions just because he/she has a different opinion than yours. This is just low!

Except for episode 22, I watched the entire season one. I don't know the DC Universe comic books and just watched the show to entertain myself. The problem with the "The Flash" so far was, that to people who doesn't have the background knowledge of the comic books, some things happened in the show didn't make any sense (e.g. inconsistencies in the use of time traveling).

So what clientèle are the writers aiming for then? To viewers who know the comic books and can fill up the gaps/plot holes with their knowledge of the DC Universe comic books or also to viewers who are not familiar with the comic books? My personal view on this matter is, a show must stand for its own and has to make sense to all viewers. That this can work for shows and movies based on comic books hasbeenproven by shows like Arrow, Daredevil, etc. or movies like Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Batman Begins etc.

I really think that the writers have a real problem with time logic. They built up the season so good, so they can ruin the story by adding time nonsense.

Here is what i mean: When Eddie killed himself, all of this timeline should collapse not just Eobard Thawne! In fact, if Eobard was never born, he would have NEVER traveled back in time, killed Nora Allen and Dr Wells, built the particle accelerator and created the Flash. Barry would have NEVER lived with Iris and Joe, or even met Caitlin and Cisco. Even though, the show continues normally! They are all here, just Wells disappeared... The timeline continues as if Wells actually lived and did all of what Eobard did in Wells's body. They are all here trying to save the city from the worm hole that the Flash created because Eobard convinced him to do it, even though Eobard never existed...

Seriously writers, if you have problem with logic just ask for help before you decide to ruin a show like that.

No offense, A true fan.
