Well, I think it will go with one of two ways with her. Either, as I think you mentioned, she will get killed. If she does, probably around the mid season break, and maybe in some dramatic way, like during the first proper encounter on earth 1 between Flash and Zoom. Or, she will date Barry for a bit and figure out his secret, which inevitably causes a break up, but she becomes a full member of team Flash by the end of season 2. But that is just my take on it.

Zoom is probably alternative Barry. There's been a lot going on about alternate versions of people, so the natural culmination of that is Barry himself.
This is actually why I think Zoom is Eddie and not Barry. Think about it for a second: not only does this show have a thing for alternates, but it has a thing for complicating things in a specific kind of way.
If Eddie is Zoom it complicates things drastically. Look at how they look at Earth 2 Dr. Wells and can't help seeing the version they knew for so long? Not a stretch to think the same would happen with Eddie.
True this being Barry would also complicate matters, but not as much as an old friend who is dead showing up again.
Now if it is Eddie or Barry I can almost predict how this stuff would play out. If it is Eddie then it won't be revealed it is Eddie until either Barry and Iris and have gotten romantically involved or until Iris has begun to otherwise move on with someone even if that someone isn't Barry. If this Zoom is Barry then just as Barry gets everything he has ever wanted? Boom, Zoom takes Barry's place somehow.

What makes you say this? Also curious what you mean by giving the show a chance, how many episodes did you watch?
I watched eleven episodes.
I can't get over the cheese and goofiness of it all. I mean, the reverse flash stuff is cool, but the rigid acting and up and down story hold back for me. Plus I still can't get over that Flash looks 18.

Wait so Barry is already faster then Jay? and earlier they said he could run lightspeed? That will be a consistency issue
Originally posted by NephthysHarry didn't specifically says Jay's name tho.
That stood out to me as well. No way is Barry that fast yet.
"the ability to soar above buildings, to run faster than the speed of light"
Harry very well could have been talking about Zoom, not Jay.
also, Barry already time traveled, so he's already ftl.

It's was mentioned earlier this season that Iris has a brother. Seems obvious that that will be Wally.
I am thinking Wally (Iris' brother from Earth 1), normal guy. Wally from Earth 2... some warped, crazed version of the Flash that becomes Zoom (or some other reason he becomes Zoom and ends up with that costume). I wonder when they plan on introducing him though. I actually specifically think they added Iris having a brother in Earth 1 to create the possibility of an alternative speedster Wally, and we know Jay is the actual Flash from that Earth, so why bring Wally in? Makes no sense to specifically bring a comic speedster in if you have no plans on using him.
Think there is a misunderstanding here. I meant why specifically introduce the idea of Iris having a sibling, then also telling us we are getting Wally before the season starts, and then not use him for something more than a background character? Which is why I personally DO think he is going to have something to do with the main plot, in particular Zoom, and I also think Zoom related in particular, because Jay fulfills the role of the Flash on Earth 2. But that is just my personal speculation on why Wally might be Zoom.
