I am ok with that in 24 episode season, sometimes its nice to have an episode that is just filler.

I just checked the episode summaries and it kind of seems like Barry's going to lose his speed until the second to last episode. We have like five episodes to go. :downs:

Based on what Kevin Smith's said about his episode he'll have his speed back by then

Can we just have an episode where Flash and co use poo poo intelligently for a change? Like seriously, have near invisible wire or fishing line or something in one of the routes you're using. At the speed Zoom runs if he hits it he's going to be half the man he used to be. I miss Arrow season ones writing talent on this show.

He killed The Turtle, the guy with the slowing-time powers, because he wanted to weaponize that ability to use against Zoom. Extracted some sort of gland or something out of his brain via his nose.

Personally I like how they straight up killed the guy affected by Wells' explosion rather than making any attempt or even offer to fix him using super science and their billion dollar lab.

Am I the only one who wishes that the predominant method of dealing with bad guys in this show was subduing them in a way that absolves the anguish that makes them a villain and slowly creates a team of sidekicks that could co-star in new episodes and maybe jail/kill SOME villains? At least a 1/3 redeemed ratio would make me happy. Hell I'll take 1/10 at this point.

Earth 1 needs Snarts is what I'm saying.

Also, where was Pied Piper this episode? He needs more screen time IMO.

This is Urotsuki.
So, let me get this straight:


  • Barry loses speed
  • Guy is super hulk strength
  • Gets older as he uses it
  • The solution is to punch Slow Flash in the chest until he keels over as an elderly man
  • And Harrison Wells' plan is to detonate another reactor (third time's the charm! :haw:)

Okay, I get that the drama acting stinks, the plot is now fully non-sensical, and the villain's schtick has been done before.

How does no one else love this dumb bad show as much as I do :allears:


e: I am thoroughly looking forward to Hunter being Jay's twin except Wally-2 is in the mask and already the Flash but Jay "Garrick" Soloman shows up to fight himself while Barry and Jesse and Wally-1 run around punching villains and in the background people are breakdancing and spinning on their heads while confetti is coming down and I don't even care anymore, this show owns

Jay as Earth 2 Flash makes zero sense if he's also Zoom. Wouldn't it gently caress causality if you kill your younger Flash self before he eventually morphs into Zoom?

Also mask dude might be Eobard from Earth 2. It makes sense as he's being kept alive for speed force harvesting or something.

Am I the only one who thinks the man in the iron mask is Zoom/Jay/Hunters' dad? Zoom has said he's time traveled before. Seems to be in character for him to go and time kidnap the poo poo out of his Dad and throw him in a cage forever.

His dad in the flashback was dressed as a soldier and man in the iron mask used that code Barry said was used in the military. Seems plausible at least.

It's been suggested but I'm not sure why we "wouldn't believe it" nor would I care.

Wells is the best character.

So if I'm getting this straight, then Cisco's portal is always active once it's been fully opened. And only speedsters can use it. Convenient!

Why is Zoom love-struck with Caitlyn again? Wasn't it his dead Jay past self that developed feelings for her? So Zoom just told himself that if she's good enough for his past self, then she's good enough for him? Sure why not.

How were they able to find Jesse so quick (:haw:) after they found Wells' wrecked van? Yeah ok she lives near the crash site and they guessed that correctly but finding her should still take a while. Did I miss a line or something?

Caitlyn and Iron Mask are being really dumb in regards to communication. Here I thought we'd finally have the Iron Mask reveal by having a smart person in the dungeon for more than 5 minutes.

Still no answer to the dead jay, so what? (you should paradox out of existence) conundrum.

Yeah some (many?) of us have settled on this. It'd definitely fit with how deranged Zoom is in regards to his parents. Gonna need a way to get an edge on Zoom at the end of the season!

Yeah, you missed a line. They were tracking where the van had been and it sat outside Jessie's place for a bit so they at least knew what building she was in

Maybe Hunter Zolomon traveled back in time to fix his hosed up childhood but was left as a time remnant due to the grandfather paradox. So now he's just raging out until such time as he eventually kills his dad in the iron mask and wipes himself from existence.
