Kind of like a grandfather paradox. That timeline only exists if Eobard goes back in time. I think the only solution that made any sense was that Eobard existed until he didn't, otherwise the characters are just in a timeloop.
Damn it, I posted my response before I read yours. I think we said pretty much the same thing. [Reply]

There is so much wrong with the story line after Eddie shoots himself, it would be imposible to get it all into one post, not to mention that I might forget some, and not even think of some.
To this day, I still think the best time travel movie is "The Final Countdown".
My favorite is The Butterfly Effect. I rented the CD and watched it one day. THe next day I watched it again, but without realizing it I flipped over the CD and watched the director's cut. It was very similar but with a couple of very signficant plot differences and a different ending. I thought I was watching the same movie, and I kept saying "What the fuck is going on here?". [Reply]
And again....is there not any security at the Arrow den or STAR Labs? Jeebus people just trot in unannounced. I can't past the security guard at work who has seen me every day for the past 3 years without showing my freaking badge yet Merlin Au Gratin and his goons pop in like its a freaking Starbucks.
And is everyone going to know Barry is Flash by the end of the series? Jeebus Cisco! [Reply]

First season is god awful, it gets a little bit better every season though [Reply]
Strong Christmas episode, really showcases just how well developed each character (not only Flash) is and how well they click together. This is such a contrast to Arrow where everyone else are clearly addons no matter how they try, here they gel together pretty naturally despite how the team keeps getting bigger and bigger. Even the guest villains had great performances, the dude from Spartacus makes for a fierce villain and while you would think that Mark Hamill's Joker would be too over the top in live action, he sells it as Trickster convincingly once again. Very glad the high-drama stuff, while still present in this episode, was kept on a leash.
Also badass that Wally is now in the universe, setting up for a speedster team up in the future, though I'd love to see Jay get his speed back sooner rather than later or maybe have a flashback episode (no pun intended) about him in on Earth 2 in the past, love the whole neo/retro 40s setting and his costume.
