It's comic book stuff. Won't ever make sense.

I'm waiting for someone to replace older Barry with Pa Kent or just and endless loop of each other holding up their hand.
They literally name dropped Rip Hunter and built a Time Bubble that Thawne says isn't the first... with other forces actively intervening in time your closed loop isn't an issue.
Well I guess oliver and felicity's happiness is going to be shortlived lol.
I'm trying to reconcile a timeline where Future Barry once saved his mother and events unfolded a la Flashpoint so he knew that she could never saved, which is why he tells present-Barry no... but for this to happen Nora would have never had to be killed by the Reverse-Flash in the first place.
Time travel's confusing.

Stop thinking in terms of paradoxes. Time travel is literally impossible; if it doesn't follow the laws of physics, there's no reason to think it'd follow the laws of logic either. Cause need not precede effect.
essentially.... the paradox creates a new reality... so old parallel universe has eobard/eddie going as normal... and new reality no longer has eobard at all...
so eobard still exists because the two realities are now bridged, but he is no longer from the current reality.
now in the "future" when flash/eobard travel back in time... they're now traveling across dimensions AND time
It's possibly a reference to the Trial of Barry Allen (from the comics).

Also i find it funny they just leave eddie body there to get suck into the black hole lol.
It pisses me off that they made barry so weak compared to wells, i mean the dude needed a freaking time machine built because he didn't have enough speed to make the trip on his own but barry, who traveled back in time gets his ass handed to him by the same guy who wasn't fast enough to travel? I mean come on, i know drama needs to be created for the show but at least let the guy connect a few punches or something

i fucking wish we got an episode of that tbh. asshole barry. they have 23 damn episodes a season, that wouldn't be a waste in the slightest.
I was about to mention that Joe says, "We don't have time" but then I realized: Barry's the freakin' Flash. What do you mean he couldn't swoop in and save Eddie's body.
The real reason they left Eddie's body there is because PLOT.

Jay Garrick, the original Golden Age Flash, wore it. Amongst other incarnations of the character.

Yep they also made Caitlin very stupid this ep.
She don't know what a black hole is and at the end of the ep does not know what it does.....

He was a research scientist who got exposed to a bunch of deadly chemicals.
an article posted before the episode basically confirms multiverse. plus in the blurb after the episode, they mentioned new ways to bring in characters

Flashpoint per se (like, a direct adaptation) was always unlikely, since Flash takes place in the altered timeline. Multiverse is
CONFIRMED.
In all fairness, she's not a physicist.
You know I liked that this finale was more about character moments and less about action. Really helped to separate it from the typical Arrow finale. Of course we still got some action at the end but the episode was really about Barry's decision to save his mom. The only thing I would've wanted is a longer more effect heavy fight with the Reverse Flash but I doubt this is the last we see of him even though he was erased from existence.
I mean isn't Flashpoint basically sorta part of a multiverse? Since the Flashpoint universe it set in an alternate universe. So in a way, they still have a possibility to do flashpoint.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
They never really even teased Flashpoint. The Flash has more than one time travel story. People in this thread decided to pick the largest, least-likely-to-happen-in-a-finale one to get hyped for.
They've said the mutliverse will be explored in Season 2 and the evidence is in the Jay Garrick helmet in tonight's episode.
First is was Barrys Dad saying how proud he was of him, and then the mom scene hit me >.<

Holy shit, The Flash season finale was amazing! I know I say this all the time but it is the best superhero show ever produced on TV. The acting is top notch and Tom Cavanagh deserves some type of award for playing Thawne. One of the most complicated villains you hate to love and love to hate. Dude is legitimately chilling as Reverse Flash. DC Comics is kicking massive amounts of ass on TV weekly and with the new Legends of Tomorrow that looks to continue. It's an amazing time to be a comic book fan.
Damn man, just damn. The Flash is legit GOAT.

In the comic Jay Garrick basically came before Barry as the flash. So in this TV show. Barry is the first Flash in his universe? While in another universe, Jay is the first? (And possibly only?)

I mean... they could? But ultimately, Flashpoint was about (trying to) undo the damage to the timeline. Which, if Barry had saved his mom, would have resulted in returning to the original timeline. You wouldn't have gotten Robert Queen, the Broken Arrow, for instance. So some tweaking would be required.
From the sound of it they're going whole hog on multiverse shenanigans next season, so maybe we'll get something similar. I dunno.
