Looks like Zeus cosplaying as CW Flash.

I think it was the actress. It felt too rushed and unexpected. They wrote her off, but didn't kill her off, so I can tell there's hope that she'll return at some point.

These writers are bad at that. Same thing happened with John Wesley Shipp and Malese Jow. I know they are guest stars, but they need to be less abrupt.

 

[Avenging Angel]

Dope poster. Digging the lightening. Pumped for the next episodes.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

EARTH-TWOOOOOO!!!

 

[Supernova]

I just want to go to earth 2 already, stop with these filler episodes and lets get to the meat on the bone of this season.

Agreed. I'm not even expecting much from tonight's episode.

 

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, tonight feels like a complete filler.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Is tonight not the episode they go to Earth-2?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Not the vibe I'm getting from the promo.

 

[Slick]

That's next week I think

 

[vantheman77]

Don't care for tonight's episode. How much you want to bet that it will end with Flash and Harrison Wells going to Earth-2?

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Season 2 has been lacking the same level of excitement and better storytelling that Season 1 had. At least with Season 1, the only real weakness was the portrayal of Iris and the whole Barry/Iris ship. But aside from that, everything else was pretty solid.

If anything, I feel like the drop in quality is due to the show's producers having focused their attention in making Legends work. I just hope that Legends is the LAST show that they create for awhile and focus their attention in making great quality products with the shows that they ALREADY have.

lol...

reading those comments I guess waiting until they see the actual episode before passing judgement isn't an option?

The first half has definitely suffered from the Legends build up, and season 2 is lacking because of the part time villain. Reverse Flash wasn't in every episode, but Thawne was and there was so much suspense there to see what his motives were. Very similar to Arrow season 1 and Moira.

I also noticed that they haven't done a post credit tease in a few episodes, and it really feels like they have a few good episode arcs that they're just stalling for. Like next week's episode is the episode I'm sue many of us have been waiting for since before the break.

Season 1 was just so damn brilliantly done that its tough not just for season 2 to top but any show. Barrys journey and his moms death driving season 1 was just so pure and lighting in a bottle that its hard to expect the writers could do it again. I have faith were gonna finish strong this year and the writers have my trust %100 well %98, wells stole the other 2

At first it was definitely due to Legends, than it was the insufferable break-up tension between Patty and Barry. Now that both are gone I think the show can get back into its groove. I thought this latest episode was a step in the right direction. Wally is looking a bit better and the father/son dynamic is back between Wells and Barry. Plus with the whole gang going to Earth-2, I'm sure everything will get more exciting.

Hopefully some news on what Jay has been doing in his off time (probably hunting speedsters!)

In any case, for those interested in my thoughts on the latest episode, here's my review:

[The Apocalypse]

Not sure what the big deal about this season is. I thought it's been good. Not season 1 great but I feel like it would have been hard to top the emotion just because of the story.

Cisco's going too and that's it cause Jay has to battle geo mancer in earth one joe has his job and there isn't much of task force which he need to get to rebuilding but it'll be more story's about his family, for now cause the writers are focused on that.


and it'll be tough to explain to the captain and DA lady if Joe just disappeared. iris is in the hospital we know Caitlin will be at earth 1 cause jay's there and it'll be her that likely finds his cure .

I would love to see Caitlin meet her Earth-2 counterpart, Killer Frost.

 

[Runemane]

ok complete crazy theory here what do you think?

So Wally west in the comics is a speed force user / flash, how does he get his powers? maybe something to do with the device that earth 2 dr wells built to drain barry allen / current flash, maybe some how drains zoom and gives speed to wally?

it's likely that killer frost might meet her if barry ticked her off enough. but it won't be on earth 2. we'll see.

hmm dr. well's and Caitlin were already are working on a speed force serum and since jay will be battling Geo mancer the meta villain the other earth shaker, (if Cisco ever get's his vibration ability's) it mean she has found a way to make the serum work since she's more of the biologist. if wally get the speed fore it's likely from aversion of that . other I'd suspect another particle explosion event kinda like what happened in static shock with bang baby incidents the street name for meta humans.

if there's another particle explosion I want laurel from arrow in town for it.

Pretty much what I expected last night. Next weeks show has some great promise as long as they don't hold back showing us earth 2. Tarpit was a generic villain who really served no purpose other then to set up Wally going straight and leaving the racing world.


Something about zoom is bothering me this season, I know the effects are probably expensive to do him but this part time crap and popping up once in a while is really hurting making him an overall threat. Especially now that wells came clean they cant use him anymore as the immediate evil person. Flash is at %100 of speed force and yet zoom wants him to get even faster and steal his power so why not just steal it now, Barry is clocking 1500 mph.

That's a lot more purpose than most villains of the week get. What more purpose were you expecting him to serve, if you don't mind my asking?

It's not "100% of the speed force" it's 100% of what they usually clock him at. They have no way of knowing how fast he can go. Zoom, however, does.
