XOXO:P wrote: I just hope what the writers do with E2Wells doesn't disappoint us fans by making him ZOOM all along, he's made to seem like he is (to trick us) before Barry can trust/see E2Wells as the good guy again, the REAL Harrison Wells was E1Wells and well he died 15yrs ago. And Eobards confession was in Harrison's body when confessing to Nora's murder! Now, am I the only thinking and not hoping that E2Wells shows up from underneath STAR Labs only to be arrested by Joe for Nora's murder. When I'm sure E2Wells will probably come up with something that 'one minute he was in his lab in E2, next thing he was sucked into one of the breaches in STAR Labs on E2 and winded up in E1' ~Make sense. Not far-fetched but that would be just me stating the obvious simplified scenario, the second one would be me saying. Yes, he comes up from underneath STAR Labs and a confused/dazed E2Wells pretends to not-know who Barry&Co are, but are wondering what they're all doing in his Lab (since he's pretending to not-know who everyone is, with me so far?) and then just as a precaution. E2Wells is still arrested by Joe for Nora's murder anyway, only to have Grodd break his 'Father' out of Iron Heights. There's only 1or2 options this could play out! If it was for my liking, I would like if it was the 2nd one, bc the 1st one sounds so bleh, bc it would be a repetition of what happened when Jay came from Earth-2. Barry meeting theREALHW, who's not the real one to win Barry's trust, when EobardWells already blew up that mentor/idolised relationship. Afterall, Harrison Wells is still in a way Barry's idol, but how would he trust a man who isn't E1Wells in the first place, but a different man entirely from Earth-2. Need I say more? or have I just confused everyone already :D When they accepted the confession from Wells and released Barry's dad, I had to remind myself that this show has time travel, meta-humans, and the giant gorilla because a person confessing to a crime for which someone has already been convicted does not usually result in the conviction being overturned. There have been people on death row who were executed even after someone else confessed to the crime. Once a person is convicted, it is very difficult to overturn it even if the lawyers and judges agree the person is actually innocent-- there is the whole letter of the law instead of intent that they get stuck on and they don't like to admit when they have made mistakes. Furthermore, investigations would show that Wells was probably in Starling City at the time of the murder, had no apparent motive, no fingerprints, and no DNA left at the scene. Now, even assuming the conviction magically got overturned, the video confession would not hold up if they decided to try to prosecute Wells because of the lack of other evidence and the aforementioned facts about opportunity and motive.
