Written by Erica Rose Jackson Before I start, let me state that I love Tom Cavanagh on The Flash. I’m not ready, even a little bit, to see his time on the show end. However, I’ve reached the point in the series when I need to know how many versions of Harrison Wells can they give us? Can’t we just stick with Harry? Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne In season one, the original Wells charmed us all and won us over, and he wasn’t even Harrison Wells. Evil Wells stole the show in the beginning. I remember how devastated I was when they revealed he was the bad guy and not even the man I’d been watching all season. But Cavanagh is that good. He can charm us while also being the big bad, leaving viewers like me barely aware until the rug was pulled out from under my feet. Evil Wells was excellent. In fact, I almost stopped watching the show when season one ended because I couldn’t see The Flash without Wells. Harry Wells From Earth 2 I loved evil Wells but Harry is my favorite off all Cavanagh’s versions of this character. I love the relationship between Harry and Cisco and believe that should be apart of the show forever. The pair is just too good. I would love for the show runners to just let me have Harry always. I didn’t even realize how much I wished that until the following seasons. HR Wells From Earth 19 But, HR took awhile for me to like. Part of the reason is because, I think, his character is so similar to my personality, making him annoying to me. I was most annoyed by his thrown together love story in the last part of season three because it didn’t fit his character at all. Yes, eventually I loved HR but I still wanted Harry back because he’s the Wells that fits with Team Flash. The Council Of Wells This quirky group of Harrison Well’s from various Earths has always been a treat. Unlike a new Wells whose permanent, these Wells just show up from time to time to give council, hence the name. I am still waiting for Wells the Grey to get a bigger moment because he’s entrance remains one of the funniest moments in Flash history. I am with the many online who really want a Council of Wells spinoff. Can you imagine the possibilities? Sherloque Wells It seems he’ll have Harry’s brilliance (even more being a step ahead) but original Wells attitude. Harry is cranky but Harrison has always been one you don’t want to trifle with. I think I’m excited for this version of Wells, who we’ll meet in episode three, but how many more can we have? Each Wells has had their pros and cons with each being mostly successful for the show and the audience, so far. I am just left wondering how many more Wells we can see in this series before the charm of Cavanagh’s amazing ability to play so many different roles loses its magic. What do you think? Take a look at Sherloque Wells' debut in the promo below.
