‘The Flash’ Theory Reveals True Meaning Of Eobard Thawne’s Timer

An interesting new The Flash fan theory reveals the secret behind Eobard Thawne’s (Tom Cavanagh) important countdown.

Tom Cavanagh has had a very interesting history with The CW’s The Flash. From playing Dr. Wells to HW, to Sherloque, to even Eobard Thawne, Tom Cavanagh has portrayed an eclectic group of characters on the hit superhero series. Currently, the actor reprises his Eobard Thawne role when Nora West-Allen (Jessica Parker Kennedy) visits the future for their secret meetings. In Eobard Thawne’s cell is a very important timer that many fans have come to assume will lead to his execution but an intriguing new fan theory says otherwise.

The new theory appeared on Reddit and suggests that the countdown will not lead to the execution of Tom Cavanagh’s iconic villain, but instead is counting down the time to when he will receive the metahuman cure, which was finally perfected in one of the most recent episodes of The Flash. Check out the full fan theory in the post below.

If not, then what do you think will truly happen when Eobard Thawne’s clock finally runs out? Let us know your thoughts and concerns in the comments below!

Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?

The series stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison “Sherloque” Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen, and Chris Klein as Cicada.

The Flash Season 5 returns February 19th on The CW.
