I'll go with Lost and Heroes like others have mentioned.
I'll add Hannibal, and Person of Interest.

If Eddie played Minesweeper, he'd die just by starting the damn game
I'm worried slightly as well but they beat my expectations this season so I'll have faith for season 2
they'll be juggling four shows next year so I am definitely worried
Twin Peaks
But damn The Flash is awesome right now. I'm worried about a sophomore slump. I really loved the group dynamics of the team. Now that Wells/RF is fully out, I worry about the loss of those interactions hurting the show overall. But they've surprised me with the show so far so hopefully the quality continues on.
Heroes did. Sigh
I think one of the reasons why reverse flash took Eddie is because he is not suppose to marry iris. If you look at it this way Barry was always suppose to marry Iris however Reverse flash showing up in the time caused it to change especially creating flash before he was supposed to be but also other changes like Iris being serious with Eddie. Eddie is probably supposed to marry someone else and have kids so Reverse flash's ancestors can be born. If Eddie and Iris marry it could cause reverse flash not to exist.
I finally caught up to the live broadcasts! CW cheese aside, it's consistently entertaining. While it shows it's budget at times, I'm surprised it looks as good as it does most of the time considering the length of the season.
Although at times, I can't help but wonder how great the show would be if it were trimmed down to 13 episodes. A tighter narrative and more budget per episode would definitely propel this episode into greater heights.
They should have Eddie and Iris get married, and then recast Wells with a black/mixed actor lmao.

Great episode.
The fact that it beat SHIELD in the ratings is just icing on the cake.

People wondering whether Iris was on the original by-line, a large image:
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
The entire episode.
Evan Gibson isn't a very good writer, huh?
Queen/Wayne Tech merger - guess Oliver gets his company back.
I'm kind of sad that this seems to be suggesting that that headline and Flash/Reverish".se Flash traveling back in time are all the same event.
It means that that headline probably isn't referencing Barry's original comic book death anymore. Though I guess it could still be all one crazy ass event since it still mentions a crisis and that "Red Skies Vanish".

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Game of Thrones.
Googling the guy shows he's an actual comic character who is a reporter in Star City and is associated with Green Arrow. That's a nice nod to the comic fans, I just assumed it was a made up name.
I kind of hope it takes a Fringe like leap into its second season. Fringe had the same type of first season where it was a lot of monster of the week type stuff, and less focus on an overall narrative.

Still hoping they go the Flashpoint route, if only for half a season or the first couple of episodes. How else could they top the time jump episode and the finale?

Good episode.
Loved the whirlwind arms, wasn't expecting to see it in live action or if it to work, but it was great. Didn't look ridiculous at all.
That smile from Gideon was hilarious. You just knew that she was up to no good. Man, now I'm wondering if Wells made her lie about who her creator is. Barry doesn't come across as someone smart enough to create such an AI...
The Wells reveal was intense and the Hannibal trick play was masterful, I'm really going to miss Wells. Fantastic character and amazingly acted by Cavanaugh. He's rivalling Batiatus from Blood and Sand for me right now, hard to imagine how the show will go forward without him.
Of course Joe refuses to agree to Eddie's proposal. I wish they'd actually do the unpredictable sometimes and use the marriage/affair between Iris and Barry as a catalyst for why Eddie hates Barry/Flash so much. Something to set things into motion.

It needs to be an entire season or they shouldn't bother. A couple of episodes would be too reminiscent of what Smallville used to do with their big finale moments. Season ends on a shocking note, shit's all resolved within the first ten minutes of the season premiere.
Flashpoint deserves better than that. It needs a whole season to develop and show just bad things can get by messing with fixed events in history.
so uh, the voice of Gideon is Morena Baccarin

You know, it's interesting that we've gone a full season without so much as a mention of Joe's wife and Iris's mom. One would think that would be a bonding point between Iris and Barry. I'm half expecting them to reveal she's from the future as well or that Iris actually is.
Yeah, we've known that for a while now.
Well, if it was only 13 episodes I doubt the budget would be much higher than it currently is since it'd be slashed to make up for having less episodes to make money off of. But, it would mean they'd get to spend more time working on things. And we'd have to wait almost nine months between seasons and new episodes instead of around four and a half.
As for the second part the number of generations between them is too many for it really matter though.

The only problem with that is the whole shared universe thing it has with Arrow. In order to do Flashpoint for an entire season, you would need to change both shows or else it wouldn't work.

You're right.
This is why I hated shared universes. It limits your storytelling options. Imagine an entire season of Flashpoint, but of course there's Arrow to factor in, that new spin off show and the upcoming Supergirl too. I get shared universes are the new 'in thing', but it's ridiculous in how it can restrict a show from reaching its full storytelling potential.
Alternatively, as unlikely as it is, they could do a mini series for Flashpoint? Like a 6 hour event spread over three/four parts? They could use characters from Arrow, spin off, etc.

OMG OMG OMG OMG I have a nitpick rant!
This time it's not about an underdeveloped female in the story. It's not about an "awful" filler episode either.
But can I just say that I hate the use of cell phones during scenes of distress? Someone's in trouble so you dial them once, and only once! Don't text them before or after the call, and certainly don't bombard them with voicemails.
It's just a TV thing and a nitpick. I'm not looking to have a discussion on this.

This is the only way I can see them doing Flashpoint, a 3 week crossover event.

If they did it, just do it as an alternate timeline. Barry has already been reported "missing" in the future so it can happen. He gets caught in a nightmarish reality, Arrow and team can look for him or think hes dead in their show. Then they can still have cameos of the "weird" versions of Arrow characters onto the show too.
This sucks especially for those of us with zero interest in Arrow. Not a very good course of action to have one show limit the storytelling in the other.

Loving this show. Anyone catch this easter egg from last night...
I didn't, but that's awesome.
Its pretty crazy to see how successful The Flash is for the CW. It has yet to dip below something like 1.3, which is practically unheard of for a show on that network. .
To put that into perspective, anything between 0.7 and 1.0 is considered a success for them. All of their other successful shows fall within that range, with a few breaking past 1.0 on certain weeks. The Flash has yet to dip into what their other shows get on average.

I think the idea was that it's technology well beyond his understanding. He thought it would be an easy fix, then realized it wouldn't.
On par with Reverse Flash and the Rogues.

I'm sure it will be revealed but man it would be interesting to know
how old future Barry is when he's fighting Thawne? How long has he been the Flash? How is everything different in the "original" timeline.
