I know it's just a carry over from the comics, but Golden Glider is one of the worst name's I've ever heard. Plus it doesn't make sense within the context of the show.

greatn posted:I didn't like the "what, so you can shut me down again?" line. He should have got a slap in the face for that rather than an apology. He's the one who should have apologized for asking someone out while they're at work, that's like a major faux pas. The one moment I couldn't suspend my disbelief on this episode was the fact that she asked him out later in the episode after that weird pick up. Although, I'm not sure slapping him would have been an appropriate response.

WarLocke posted:Umm, it's Crisco, get it right guys. I know I'm alone in this, but I thought Wells 2 was too much of a dick. Like I get that he has beef with Jay, but why the gently caress was he so angry towards this complete group of strangers that haven't done poo poo to him? Especially when he's going to them for help with a problem he created.

My Q-Face posted:It really felt like a plot contrivance out of thin air because Arrow is dealing in Mystical poo poo this season. Yeah, it really was odd how little effort Barry put into fighting that guy before he just gives up and calls for help. Savage didn't even seem like much of a threat to him until he got the staff.

Mr Beens posted:That was a bit of a wet fart. I loving hate US TV show "christmas" episodes anyway, but even without all that horrible shmaltz over the top this was a pretty poor episode. Worse than the magnet bomb was Team Flash and Patty both figuring out where Trickester was based on the reflection of a teddy bear in his eye. That was super dumb.

You're right. What I should have said is, I hope this is the end of West family drama that is completely divorced from the rest of the story. Have Barry and Wally interacted at all? Aside from Barry answering the door when he first showed up.

enraged_camel posted:They haven't interacted, which I think is a great thing because the last thing we want is awkward jealousy from Wally towards Barry for having been Joe's son all those years. Because you know the writers will definitely add something like that. No way, the writers would never do that. Clearly they're setting up a new love triangle where Iris has to choose which one of her brothers she wants to be with. Actually, I shouldn't even joke about that, because someone has already written that fan fiction.

catch22 posted:I haven't really read comics in a long time, so I don't know if this is still a thing, but I always thought it was bizarre when some world shattering event was going on and the bad guy causing it was a mutant, there were only mutants fighting him, and if he was a non-mutant, it would be only non-mutants. Like where were the Avengers or Spider-Man during the Age of Apocalypse story line? It was an alternate timeline where mutants ruled, I'm pretty sure they just didn't exist as heroes.

I've gotten used to stupid Barry moments on this show, but him just standing there while Zoom was being held off by Killer Frost was too much. Like it's the chance he's been waiting for all season and the first moment of weakness shown by Zoom and our hero doesn't do anything. In fact he let's Killer Frost sacrifice herself like it was nothing.

Zoom just comes off like a Power Ranger villain. He knows everything about our heroes and can literally kill them any second he wants, but instead he sends wave after wave of jobbers so our hero can learn a lesson of the week. This show would be better served by not having a season long villain and maybe doing smaller arcs centered around rotating enemies. Similar to what Shield did last year.

computer parts posted:One interesting part of Jay as Zoom is that now we don't know that Velocity 9 will actually hurt Barry. In fact, it could've been that he was trying to prevent Barry from being fast enough to beat Zoom using the drug. In Barry's defense, Tar guy was already loving dead as poo poo. The particle accelerator basically turned him into a walking talking corpse with tar powers.

Kelsing posted:What could the writers have done in order to make the season more compelling than it is? The 'giving Jay more agency' idea where he has a sort of power struggle with Wells over influencing Barry was a fantastic idea, but is there anything else they could've done? Barry and Wally haven't really interacted until this last episode, why would they tell him he's the Flash?

Rhyno posted:Wally's actor (his name escapes me, guess I'm a racist) was at C2E2 over the weekend in the autograph area and we never saw a single person in his line. Not even once and we spent a good amount of time in that area. I honestly couldn't believe he was booked for the show when I saw him listed. He's only been in a handful of episodes and hasn't even done anything noteworthy.

tsob posted:On the other hand they were all willing to let Barry entirely change lives, theirs included, and possibly for the worse, during the season one finale so that he could save his Mom. He had a lovely motive, but given chaos theory he really had no right to be loving with the timeline like that and it wasn't even his own decision not to, but that of some other, different Flash we'll probably never get some insight in to. Well yes, but at the same time he was just trying to fix the damage done by RF in the first place. Not only would he save his mother, but Harrison Wells and thousands of others lost in the accelerator explosion.

I thought Barry was faster than Zoom now? Wasn't that the while point of him trying to take him on this episode? He caught him once, just do it again.

Aphrodite posted:He could, if he chased him right away. The time Barry spent gawking is enough for Zoom to get far enough away that being faster won't help Barry find him. I was thinking more about after they got Wally back. Zoom lost his bargaining chip and Barry literally had nothing standing in the way of punching him the gently caress out. Sure all his friends were there and could have been in danger, but why would you bring them along and make them targets in the first place?

I'd find Zoom a lot scarier if he'd kill just one character that mattered, instead of leaving them to come up with more plans to foil him.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned how stupid Grindr's zombie walk was. The whole time it looked like he was trying to keep his pants from falling down. Also I'm glad Zoom continues his descent into Power Ranger villain by employing a group of terribly non threatening mooks that will probably come at the Flash one at a time.

If Iris and Barry don't get together there would be no backlash, because who the gently caress wants them to be together at this point? Honestly, how much better would it have been to have them just date for the get go without all this cliche "will they, wont they" bullshit?

I don't understand why everyone was coming down on Barry so much. He was confident he could beat Zoom, but at no point does he get sloppy or cocky. Also they really need to stop using the slow mo CGI Flash so much, it looks worse and worse every time.
