DC is Becoming the New Television Rockstar where Marvel is the Paragon of Movies

I just finished watching the season finale for CW's Flash and I have to say that I was cleverly surprised at the end.  His decision to not rescue his mother resulted in everything continuing as it had.  He was forced into fighting Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom the Reverse Flash and during the fight the helmet for the Golden-Age Flash Jay Garrett fell through the wormhole.  And the final piece that pulls it all together is the is the sacrifice Eddie Thawne made.  He was troubled ever since Thawne had revealed to him the future that lay in store for Barry and Iris in which they get married.  Eddie didn't know where he fit into the puzzle so he was giving up but a pep talk from good old Professor Stein made him realize that he had a purpose.  Eddie decided that he wanted to marry Iris and she agreed, however when he saw that Thawne was going to kill Barry he acted selflessly and shot himself.  Thawne was his direct descendant so by killing himself he effectively erased Eobard Thawne from the timeline killing him.  Of course with the tragedy still fresh to deal with Team Flash had to deal with the singularity that arose from the wormhole and had grown so large that it could swallow the city.  Barry of course being the hero raced upwards into the eye of the singularity to stop it.

Whew.  With all that action and drama in the last ten minutes alone.  The Flash will keep surprising us next season and let's face it what Marvel is doing with their movies, DC is doing with their television shows.  By opening the wormhole the Flash ripped open multiple doorways through time.  This will ultimately lead into DC's Legends of Tomorrow which will premier next January.  And if you were fast or canny enough you saw the first appearance Hawkgirl without her wings.  With the Arrow, Flash, & Legends of Tomorrow all connected their making their way to creating something amazing.  With the success of Gotham over on FOX , CBS stands to gain some impressive viewing numbers when they start showing Supergirl.
