The Flash

Started by Demonic Phoenix109 pages

Zolomon stated (in the episode) that he became the Flash so that he could give people hope. Then he would take away that hope as Zoom.

Basically, he is a psychopathic troll.

I will give him credit..this dude is REALLY dedicated to his super villainy.

Earth-2 Wally perhaps?

I think it's Eddie.

Zoom is the only good thing about season 2

What irked me is Zoom's line when he was asked who it is "you wouldn't believe me if I told you". Well okay you super powered serial killer from an alternate dimension, I probably wouldn't believe you. Hey remember when that giant shark walking around on two legs tried to kill me? Good times, but I still wouldn't believe anything you say. Oh wait you remember the giant super smart gorilla with psychic powers? Yeah if he was here right now to read my mind he'd also conclude I'd never believe you.

There's plenty that is only bothersome if you nitpick. That stuff I can overlook. It's a comic show, after all. But when my mind screams at me at what's going on, without even having to think too hard about it, something is wrong. So yeah, when they just casually chatted with Zoom and handed him Barry's speed, my credulity was strained. A shame, too. This show is excellent, on the whole. But that was terrible.

I kept on thinking well this is a trap, right? I mean, you have a room full of super geniuses standing around and he is going to voluntarily inject himself with whatever they give him, so obviously they are going to use his plan against him by draining his speed and giving it to Barry. And then... 😕

Also wait in the beginning of the episode when Flash first uses the speed thing he disappears and reappears..and then pretends like nothing happened? What was the purpose of this? Was this him going to the Supergirl universe? But then why did he act like nothing happened?

Yeah Barry disappearing and reappearing was him traveling to Supergirl's universe. Also Barry did freak out after coming back and asked Cisco and friends how long had he been away.

I don't understand Barry just overlooking the fact that he'd just met supergirl, there should've been a mention of it or something

They're pretty lucky considering we get Quan

He asks how long he was gone and then literally never once mentions it again nor does anyone even ask him what he means.

Did he get mind wiped at the end of the Supergirl episode? Since otherwise this is some pretty big frickin news he failed to mention. I know they have seen a lot, but Barry just found out life exists elsewhere in the universe, aliens are a thing.

Yeah, that bit was also dumb. Especially considering right after he does it, they have this huge debate about figuring out a way to jump to another Earth, to get to Zoom.

Yeah getting to Earth 2 was a major plot point in the episode and he had literally just traveled from another universe? Okay that's not just a small mistake, that is a big gaping hole.

Yeah, to me the writers really dropped the ball with this last episode. The lack of addressing his reality jump (especially because the topic was part of the plot), and the godawful way they handled the ending with Zoom, was really bad.

Like I think Caitlyn or Cisco even still says at one point, "We have no idea how to get to another Earth". And Barry just stands there, quietly. Not like, "Hey guys... I accidentally did just that. Maybe if we figure out what happened, we could possibly replicate it."

Well Barry was dumb as shit that episode.

"You're faster than Zoom"
-Zoom gives Wally back and he leaves-
-Barry immediately gives Zoom his speed-

Why not have the tachyon device on and just speed him into a cell real quick? Let him die.

Although I suppose he might have had doubts considering that "You can't stop the darkness" moment when Zoom suddenly amped and left Barry in the dust.

Still waiting for an explanation on that.

I took Barry not mentioning Supergirl as a subtle way for CW saying it want nothing to do with that show 🙂

But even with the tachyon device aside, why doesn't the rest of the team take Zoom out when they have a clean shot? Though I do wonder if Barry being dumb is worse than Oliver being wrong.

It it has nothing to do with the show they shouldn't of shown a scene with him disappearing.

They had to though. They showed him appearing in Kara's world,(with the tachyon booster) and going home. So they had to show at some point how he got there and how he got back in his own show.

Spoiler:
Killer Frost's death
was laaaame, but I guess expected.

Well's plan is insane. Why not use Velocity 9?

Sure, there's a risk, but only to Barry. The other plan risks a lot more then that..
