[[WMG: Season Seven will turn out to be AllJustADream.]]
The final scene will be Iris waking up, having dreamed the entire thing: She's going to therapy/group sessions not just to deal with the whole Mirror World trauma but with the fact that Nora, her and Barry's child, may well have been wiped from existence due to the events of Crisis, or at least the future Nora won't be the one that Iris and Barry met. Her conflicting emotions and guilt resulted in Season Seven, particularly the Forces and why everyone insists on treating these energy wellsprings as children and/or sentient beings when there's no evidence they're even sentient bar Speed-Force Nora, who's a unique case. This especially explains the immediately parental attitude Iris and Barry have towards the Forces, even the ones who have actively tried to kill them and/or others.

* Perhaps Iris'll retain whatever mirror-based powers she gains even after that, and become a RedeemingReplacement to the villainous Sam Scudder and Eva [=McCulloch=]. Now ''that'' would give the character a lot more to do!

[[WMG: The Red Death will be revealed to be the one behind the Godspeeds]]
Furthermore, the Red Death will be a CompositeCharacter with the Flash villain Paradox, and be a man who was trying to access the multiverse and was somehow able to do it by accessing Barry's lightning. Something went horribly wrong and transformed the man into Red Death, who has been sending the Godspeeds to Earth-1/Earth-Prime for some reason that pertains to when he reveals himself.

\n[[WMG: Rather than recast Ralph, the character will be written off the show]]
How might be tricky, but perhaps he'll be said to have gone into hiding along with Sue after she was framed for Joseph Carver's murder. Rather than have someone else become Elongated Man in his absence, the show will leave the "additional hero" slot empty for a bit and maybe focus on Caitlin more now that Danielle Panabaker has had her baby. Then, if they really want another superhero in the cast, they can bring in another who bears little resemblance to Ralph as to not be a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.

* Jossed - When we meet Captain Cold he mentions his sister but we don't meet her and he is the leader of a criminal crew (not the Rogues) and at the end the first person he goes to form the Rogues is Mick Rory (Heatwave), and neither of them are metas.
** unJossed? Captain Cold and his sister Lisa do function as a team of sorts in several episodes, staring in "Rogue Time." Cisco is forced to make Cold's sister a gold gun in "Rogue Time," and he gives her her nickname in "Rogue Air." They still aren't Metas though.

She was shown in Season 6 to get the same symptoms of being in the Mirrorverse as Eva. If she leaves, she could go the way of Savitar and becoome a corrupted version of herself that one-ups Eva and has to be talked down by Team Flash.

[[WMG: Lisa Snart and Top are lovers.]]
Well, this version of Top is a woman, but no reason they couldn't pursue a relationship. After all, Golden Glider and Top ''were'' the hip villain couple in the comics, and the alternate-universe Leonard Snart is a homosexual-- why not have his sister come out on this earth? I mean, it'd be nice to see Lisa again, as well as settle the Cisco/Lisa 'shipper's hash.

** Perhaps this actually ''is'' the Negative Speed Force he gets his powers from, as part of a StableTimeLoop?

[[WMG: Thawne will eventually get the moniker of Professor Zoom]]

I'm not sure how or in what context, but I feel like this is something that is bound to happen at some point. On ''Arrow'', look how many appearances Anatoly had across several years before he finally got the moniker "[=KGBeast=]"? Even in Thawne's case, we've seen him gradually become more and more like his comic-book counterpart in terms of personality as the years go by, so it makes sense he'll finally get the codename too. That being said, I can't see it being likely he would be commonly referred to as this, since all the characters simply know him as Eobard Thawne, but it might be a one-off gag or reference similar to [=KGBeast=] above.

[[WMG: Thawne is manipulating Team Flash to create another Speed Force.]]

When Thawne is traped, he wastes no time to threaten Barry and the others in a cartoony and over the top way (although that is not really uncaractheristic of him), all while casually referencing that he gains his powers from an artificial Speed Force. Or, in other words, he puts the fear in them to make them act, and also puts the carrot in the stick in front of them with the Negative Speed Force. Especially considering his perfect timing for all of this, it´s more than possible that he ''wants'' Team Flash to create another Speed Force, for reasons yet to be revealed.

Because, let's face it; it doesn't look like Keiynan Lonsdale will return any time soon, and they can't keep explaining Wally's absense with the "journey of self-discovery" excuse. So the easiest way to keep him PutOnABus is to retcon him becomming Kid Flash. And should he against all odds return after all, they can simply redo his origin episode for this new Earth.

** I second this idea. The promos for the season are heavily building up Cicada to be the BigBad. One of the main criticisms that both IGN and AV Club mentioned with season 4 during their overall reviews was the fact that, in general, it's extremely difficult for a single antagonist to be consistently compelling if they stick around for a 23-episode story arc; thus, both recommend breaking seasons up into different arcs that each have their own antagonist, just like ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' learned to do starting in its second season. At this point I no longer have much confidence in the writers on ''The Flash'' to actually learn from their mistakes and write genuinely compelling material, but if I'm wrong about this--which I hope I am--then Cicada will only be the DiscOneFinalBoss for the first part of the season, possibly everything up until the mid-season finale. After that, Dr. Thomas Snow may take over as the BigBad. I know the whole ArchnemesisDad trope has been done to death in fiction (particularly since the 20th century TropeCodifier, ''Film/StarWars''), but that's because it ''works''. While Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon both became friends and mentors of the heroes before revealing themselves to be evil, thus establishing a clear emotional connection between the heroes and the villain, there's no better a connection than blood relations. Thawne, Zoom, Savitar, [=DeVoe=], Cicada...these are all men who the protagonists had never even met before their story arcs began. But with Dr. Snow, being Caitlin's father, that connection is right there in the backstory, thus potentially providing some real raw emotional material to work with in the hero/villain relationship. I just hope the writers are able to properly take advantage of this, and again, given their track record, I sadly don't have much confidence...but here's hoping anyway! As an added bonus, he could be the first BigBad to essentially be a CanonForeigner (assuming no other DC iterations of Killer Frost had her father be an important character in the mythology), as well as potentially the first BigBad to not be a metahuman.

** I get where you're coming from, but I actually thought the opposite of this--that in order for both Caitlin and Killer Frost to distinctly experience their own unique lives, Team Flash would actively seek out a way to make them a LiteralSplitPersonality, and would ultimately succeed in doing so, thus no more having two separate characters share a single body.
