Just them being villains. I believe that all of the Reverse-Flashes (at least that I can remember) had basically the same (or similar at least) power as the Flashes.

What is a reverse flash?



He runs really, really slow. Just kidding. I was wondering the same thing. Maybe like an evil version of The Flash?

I've never read comic in my life but CW went from being a bitch channel to badass with Arrow and Flash. Arrow's season 1-2 plot is some of the best tv that I've watched. It's not as epic as game of thrones or breaking bad but I'm just as excited for an Arrow episode as I was for those two shows.

It is pretty much just evil Flash. The person has changed over the years and there have been 3 different ones I think.

Most famous is Eobard Thawne, aka Professor Zoom. He doesn't go by Reverse-Flash anymore though.

Comic readers sometimes catch a lot of grief for reading them, but the somewhat recent tv and movie success kind of goes to show how good (well enjoyable at least) the comic story lines can be. A lot of the comic based movies use some of (or at least parts of) known comic book plot points and story lines. The stories are very similar, just told from a different medium.

I thought about Jay Garret also. But I'm still piecing it together.

Also, Prof Zoom isn't the only speedster to have worn a yellow costume. But I don't think it would be Wally

Repeat of this episode tomorrow night after Arrow. They'll replay the Flash episodes like that for a while to build the audience.

Does anyone know why closed captioning is not working on the CW? It's working fine on the other channels for some reason.

Who knows, CW is weird. Last year arrow would come on at two different times depending on your cable provider I think. Or location or something

I'm digging the pilot though

Watched the rerun too. I appear to be the only one who is not digging the show big time. I feel like Sheldon Cooper here but one thing that I do not like and noticed in the pilot were some sort of irregularity, mistake, or illogical storyline progression in many scenes.

The ending was certainly intriguing. I wish there were a few more scenes like that sprinkled throughout the pilot that can be addressed in future episodes. Instead of the way they tried to partially and poorly address so many questions upfront. It made the pilot feel rushed.

First look Professor Zoom/ Reverse Flash

I think Harrison Wells is an alias, taken from H.G. Wells, who wrote The Time Machine. So he's a time traveler, possibly Reverse Flash. That seems too easy though. Perhaps Chronos or Abra Kadabra? Or Rip Hunter? He might not be a villain but a good guy trying to ensure that Flash is around to win the Crisis.

It doesn't look like the actor in that Reverse-Flash costume is the same actor that is playing Wells to me. Does it look like a different person to anyone else?

good theory. They have mentioned Booster Gold would be on the show at some point. I like the idea of him being Rip Hunter or Booster.

Those pics do not look like Wells to me.

I think it would be pretty cool if Wells turns out to be Jay Garrick.

I guess theoretically it could also be Bart Allen, but I think that would be a mistake since he was a teen in the comics.

Booster Gold crossed my mind, but they would be totally changing Booster's personality if he were to turn out to be Wells. Booster's fame seeking personality is kind of what makes him Booster Gold. I would kind of hate to see that taken away from Booster on this show.

I could see them presenting their own version of Rip Hunter and making him Wells. I could see them being able to pull that off.

It'll definitely be interesting to see where they go with the Wells character.
