The Flash 1.17 Tricksters
That opening seen was stunning! The graphics showing the fight between Barry and the Yellow Flash was very well done. Now we get an explanation to who the person is beneath the mask. We've always thought it was Dr. Harrison Wells, but it's been an impersonator this whole time.

I'm glad Cisco is here to stay, but if he gets too close to investigating Dr. Wells one more time, he may be in danger. Barry and Joe are getting super close to this case, and I'm glad they've let Eddie in on their whole secret. I like this direction better with the guys sticking together as opposed to having Eddie on the outs and Iris inside. She's more like the person who would be easy and snitch since she's an aspiring journalist trying to make a name for herself outside her Red Streak blog entries. This also binds Eddie to Barry's secret and he can't turn his back on Joe either for that matter. This is a better alternative than Iris knowing, in my opinion =)

Back to the man who takes the identity of Dr. Wells, he became even more interesting to me. He's the reverse flash, but he also mentioned int he flashback that he's from the future. Could that be centuries forward future or present time (what we see now) type of future where he already knew Barry as well? He trained him up to fight and go back in time to try and save his mother (a destiny he's always meant to face) but does this mean he always wanted to prepare him for that one fight in time? It's intricate and very unusual for the enemy to want to do this, so there may be another ulterior motive surrounding this. I wonder who it'll involve and if it has to do with Barry's parents.
