HopefullyThawneand Grodd will be dark enough to maintain a good balance. The whole tone of the show at the moment works very well but they really shouldn't go too zany.
Why is everyone sure Eddie's a villain now? Did i miss something?

There is footage of Eddie gunning down two cops, I believe from the Paleyfest trailer. The speculation was that he was being controlled by Grodd, since there were a few Grodd teases in that trailer, including Joe coming face to face with him, but he could also be some kind of secret villain.

They dropped an "anger issues" on him in punching Barry.

so, the namesake of the character, as well as model for the character is a villain. Another reverse flash. so, everyone is kindof waiting for him to fall apart and go crazy.
And yeah, the spoiler Gavinmad posted, but also explained as his explanation. so that likely won't go anywhere.

I'm going more with the Grodd theory with that.

Yes, by Thawne I meant Eobard Thawne.

i am saying eddie is a nutjob because he punched barry in the face without talking to him, without thinking that maybe barry's guardian/and eddie's partner might get a little pissed, or that he was committing an assault that could lose him his job. all for what? because barry told iris he loves her? dude is crazy levels of jealous of barry.

Or maybe it's just sloppy writing, which happens often in this show. I've learned to think sloppy writing before I think foreshadowing.

OH I don't care about spoilers. the only reason why i started watching the show was because of the spoilers and reading this thread about the show.

Yeah Eobard Thawne is from the 2500s. They don't say exactly when in the show, but the comic character is from the 2500s, and Wells makes a comment about "you've been dead to me for centuries" to someone, so 2500s is about right.

Or maybe Barry just didn't have the hotel staff keep the kitchen open late enough for him...

Punching a guy who repeatedly tries to steal your girlfriend is pretty far from "nutjob" and is an appropriate level of jealous.

repeatedly? afaik he only told iris his feelings twice. i dunno what the appropriate time to punch first and ask questions later is, but just somebody asking my girl out doesnt warrant stick time. i mean shes a pretty girl and its expected that other guys will be asking her out, some may do it twice. now if he got all grabby, then its game on. but talk is cheap, or words are wind. nothing to get all pissy over unless you have some deep levels of insecurity and jealousy of somebody hijacking a bitch right from under you like eddie obviously is. when they had their little double date at the bowling alley both eddie and linda park saw how flirty iris was with barry, dude knows iris likes him and its eating him up.

/rant on
IMO thats when you cut the bitch loose and find another fish in the sea. in my experience when a bitch pulls that shit where she is flirting with other dudes in front of you , she is trying some lame little head game to get you to "prove" your love to her. usually it results in somebody getting their face stomped in the parking lot. one of you gets a trip to the hospital and the other with a trip to the pokey. fuck that noise.

People in TV shows don't get fired for punching people, only in real life.

That's probably how you got confused with the Clarkson story.

It's not some random guy asking her out, it's someone who's a friend. If one of your friends is repeatedly trying to get with your girlfriend and even upsets her a lot in the process, you have to confront the guy if you have any balls at all.

I thought the actor playing Eddie had a perfect 'omg i punched a retard in the face' look after Caitlin gave the lightning psychosis explanation.

is it repeatedly or was it twice? because in my head repeatedly means almost every time he sees her. and a confrontation does not have to include a beating. its totally acceptable to go up to the dude and say something like, "what up brah? why do you keep asking my girl out brah, she's my girl, brah and you know it. if you ask her again i am kicking your ass brah!" and then you pop your collar up and walk off to drink your mocha latte.as i said, to run in there like that and attack the guy, its a sign you have some deep down issues.
