In setting Eobard free, Eobard is now a villain on Legends of Tomorrow, with his own agenda, and he still has his full speed, unlike S1 Reverse Flash. How is he alive in the first place? In "restoring the timeline", doesn't Reverse Flash die in S1, as he should and did before? Thus, he shouldn't be in Legends? Else, if Reverse Flash killed Barry's mom and then ran away, as it seems in this timeline, then shouldn't there no longer be a Reverse Flash in S1's story? No Reverse Flash would be there to lose his speed, take Harrison  W ell's identity, and even give Barry his speed. Plot hole??? The Eobard Thawne in Lot might be a younger version of Eobard, not the current one.
