Green Lantern will never happen because the SFX budget would be huge and the franchise is still haunted by that Ryan Reynold's movie.

They could do a quick visit by Alan with the glowing Green Flame.

It's weird that they're still calling him Wells instead of Thawne.

It feels forced just to make the drama with Earth 2 Wells.

because he is Earth-2 Wells and not Earth-2 Thawne

I'm really surprised that Caitlyn mentioned that he still heals fast. There's no reason for him to still heal fast if he basically lost his powers.

He got hit with two speed dampener darts, and then got finger poked by ZOOM, which if what happened to Jay is any indication, is how he steals speed from other speedsters. Even if he was interupted by being shot by Crisco, Flash should be a small fraction of his normal superspeed.

Well we don't know exactly what effects Well's solution will do. It didn't seem to immediately slow Zoom down when Cisco shot him so it could be Barry's condition is due to the beat down he took. We'll find out more next week.

Great, now I want the Sinestro Corps. We've already got Henshaw, we're off to a great start!

Sinesto, Atrocitius (pretty much any of the Red Lanterns really) or Larfeeze could totally be in that prison and serve as an episode villain. Abin Sur could show up, and in the process of subduing them, get mortally wounded where Hal Jordan/John Stewart/Guy Gardner/Kyle Rayner/Simon Baz, who had been introduced in an earlier episode gets the ring and finally defeats them with Supergirls help. They then fly off and show up once a season. I can't imagine one episode would be too expensive.

Yea, I'd say Barry is seriously hosed up, but its going to take some kind of believe in yourself speech by Iris to get him up and walking around. Plus, there's no way Patty isn't going to know that Barry is the Flash after this, unless she's a terrible detective.

I re-watched the fight scene and the cracking sound of his back and the way that it bends is just awful. We've seen Barry heal but never from anything this serious, Zoom straight up broke his back. I mean, of course we know he is eventually going to heal or whatever but for right now its pretty serious.

I hope it will be some sort of thing where she figures it out but doesn't tell him, and when he finally decides or accidentally has to tell her she will just be like " yeah I know, I knew since (whenever). I'm a detective Barry."

It would be cool if he figured out how to lend and borrow speed, and gave it to Jay to stop Grodd. And later borrowed from lots of people to stop Zoom, a speed spirit bomb, if you will.

They've been telegraphing this being the case so hard since the beginning of the season that I'm starting to think it won't be evil Barry because its too obvious. But yeah, it's probably evil Barry.

Yeah they just landed hard into the ground on Barry's back. He did not fare well in that fight at all.

Luckily he will have Jay Garrick, Jesse Quick, and Wally West fighting alongside him in the season finale :flashfap:

(actually probably just Jay but I can dream)

I'm guessing that Zoom's super speed is actually the weird time-control power this time, which is why the speed dampener thing didn't actually work. Crisco/Sisqo/Cisco doesn't know yet that they're dealing with an entirely different power set that makes him impossibly fast even for speedsters.

If the thing didn't work why would he scream in anger and get the fuq outta there? Like any serum I assume it takes a minute to set in.

he might be a calculating villain and when he got shot with a dart he wasn't expecting, he didn't want to take any chances that it might actually do something to him

I mean yeah a dart in the neck hurts but with his powers he could murder everyone there even if he is in a lot of pain.

I'm pretty sure it was heavily implied that he knew he was about to have his speed drained so he booked it out of there rather than be at the mercy of a bunch of people who hate him without his powers. If this wasn't the case then they posed no further threat to him even if he was in blinding pain.
