CW series The Flash

[Mad Old Lu]

I liked the episode until the end when its contradicts its own world building, and several characters make incredibly stupid decisions and act completely out character.

Why did Barry give up his powers when he already proved he was faster then Zoom and could beat him outright?

Why didn't the team come up with a counter plan?

Why didn't Wells sabotoge the device used to give Zoom Barry's speed? His whole arc has been to protect his daughter, but he just powered up zoom who is now on the same earth as his daughter again

Zoom Let Wally go first, why did they feel compelled to keep their end of the bargain? Did they really think Zoom, a killer and liar would hold up his bargain? (Again flash was faster then zoom he could have just fought him or they could have shot him again with nail gun or whatever that gun was they shot him with the first time)?

Why would flash give up his powers to save Wally knowing damn well that there would be nobody else left to stop zoom? Was Wally's life worth the lives of countless others, or even Caitlin's? Why couldn't the team have come up with another plan to save Wally?

What was the teams plan to stop Zoom once they rendered Barry powerless?

How did Zoom travel back and forth between Earth 2 and Earth 1 without a portal or Cisco's help?

If Hunter Zoloman was a notorious serial killer on earth 2, how come nobody recognized him when pretends to be Jay Garrick," only to take their hope away"; His face is not covered.. How didn't Wells know about this, or recognize him for that matter? The way the reveal is played off, he doesn't even seem all that surprised.


Where did they get the cardboard cutouts of Zoloman's family, and why that tactic? that whole scene was a little cruel and out of character for the team, struck me as more of a tactic a villain would use, not a hero.

The team knows Zoom is dying and needs Barry's speed why the hell did they even chase him down? If they just stayed away he would have died eventually since he was stuck on earth 2 without anymore speedsters to save him.

I have all the exact same questions! Yeah, this episode was definitely a WTF.

Flash has failed me . So many questions now . I just don't get the logic of powering up zoom on earth 1 .


Okay , I may be wrong here, but didn't Zoom say the Jay he killed was an earlier Jay that he went back in time to bring to the current time . So wouldn't the current Jay cease to exist if the past Jay was killed .

 

[guyverfan]

This episode did have a lot of wtf moments in it but as for the going back and forth between worlds I just took it that once Cisco actually opened the breach it was stable and just stayed there like the original ones.

Pretty much everywhere around the net people are scratching their heads over this episode. I was really enjoying it until Barry trapped Zoom. Then it just went all to hell. EVILFACE said it best, just beat the guy to a pulp. You can ask all the questions you want afterwards once he's locked up in one of those metahuman containment units.

The comment "you wouldn't believe me" when Barry asked Zoom who the guy in iron mask is has bugged me. It was so cryptic that I think having it be Zoloman's dad would be too simple. The other theory is that it's the real Jay Garrick. What if it's both? Maybe the real Jay Garrick fathered Zoloman and the man that had been raising him found out. That's why he killed Zoloman's mom.

Yeah this episode was crazy. All these smart people doing dumb things.

Yeah this episode was crazy. All these smart people doing dumb things.

Definitely, this episode just felt all out of whack. The more I think about it, the less I like it and I already had all kinds of issues with it to begin with.

 

[RIDDICK]

Last episode is the epitome of how bad this season is. Truly sad.

And to add salt to the wound, we had to wait 3 weeks to see it.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Hated the Star Wars reference...more than anything else. Not because I like the prequels (i don't), but because I hate when DC promotes other brands...

 

[batfan08]

I don't give a **** about DC promoting other brands. Star Wars is a part of our pop culture, and it makes it feel more real to have references to that culture in our TV shows, but it's so incessant on The Flash, and it comes across as pandering. I probably would've liked that moment a lot better had Cisco said it and Barry been like "Cisco, you gotta stop with the Star Wars references. You're killing me, man."

 

[bonestockbrz]

The old Harrison wells would have shot and killed zoom on the spot ...

[emoji38]I had similar thoughts when I read Clown's post. It would've been a great moment for some levity if Barry had said something like what you suggested or "midichlorians? Seriously?"

I love PT and hated that reference because midichlorians is never a good thing. NEVER!

 

[EVILFACE]

You mean like "The Flash is brought to you by "Captain America: Civil War" In theaters Blah Blah."

I might of missed something here.. but Barry goes on how they started putting the pieces together, and one of the things was the blue lightning. So if The Flash got faster than Zoom, why didn't his go blue? Unless it was because of the reason for his speed enhancement..

The person who stole the Velocity formula (can't remember name) had blue lightning right before she disintegrated. The formula causes the blue lightning, it's not the faster speed that causes it. That's why Barry's is still yellow. And yes, it is bull ****.

 

[dw316]

He means Trajectory. His speed is enhanced by Well's Tachyon (spelling) device.

 

[bonestockbrz]

Jesus Christ what the hell is going on ? In a span of two weeks I go from loving this show to hating it . I can't stand Iris and absolutely hate Wally more . God bless the ability to record these shows . I turnes today's 45 minute episode into about 25. I think I've watched less than two minutes of dialogue from Wally and Iris this season .

They only bright spot was Teddy Sears just killing it as Zoom.

 

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

Do you think that

Spoiler

Killer Frost is really dead?

I would have loved to see her on Earth one!

 

[EVILFACE]

I think she is.

My only problem is they already did the powerless Flash episode. And Wally and Iris weren't really in this episode much.
