The Flash The flash season 2 episode 18

I don't understand why Barry can't jump into Earth-2 instead and contain things there instead of inviting Zoom into Earth-1? And we know he is faster than Zoom now with the tachyon boost, so why didn't he go after him after Zoom released Wally. They were all just standing there like idiots :doh:
what you should asking your self is how zoom sensed the breach opening?

like I did his lair where the man inthe iron mask is in different location from where that portal was in earth 2. like it was in both earths star labs med area's.
 
there was serious mess up in schedule inthe cw this year according to my sister, and it'll be a while ,but we will see barry make the trip to earth end up on super girls earth and still head there to earth 2 and back.

I don't think that's accurate. Maybe, but, we already saw Barry move away from the larger tachyeon device that he was wearing when he visited Kara, and he also seemed surprised to be "back" after he arrived at Star Labs, implying that he'd gone to her world and returned, so I don't see how that'll happen later (unless more time-travel). Seems more like it wasn't handled well.


let just wait it's possible Jay is ether made up alias like in small ville or the man inthe iron mask is the real one .

Well, if it's an alias than we have to wonder how mental-patient HZ came to be a passable scientist in such a short amount of time (good enough to fool actual scientists), and if there's a third one than yeesh, this narrative is getting sloppy.

cause that's not how villains think. he did kill his version of cisco and he was there waiting for weeks after that stupid mistake.

So is there a wiki entry on how villains think? ;) Only teasing. I appreciate you trying! Not much of an answer, though.

technically he convinced an ehco(it's an entity spawned from the time stream ) not his actual past self. if it was his true past self he shouldn't exist ether after his past self death.

An echo that is... sentient? o_O That can make decisions and choose to perform an action? How is that any different from a past version of HZ? I get that a speed mirage is a projection, but if HZ convinced an "echo" to do something, then that echo can't just be a projection, it has to have awareness, making it a real entity, which... how would that differ from past HZ?


yeah well your head will hurt more so I'll have to be careful with the explanations

Yup, need some Motrin.

I just dont get why the best idea they could come up with is to really give Zoom some or all of the Flash's speed force. I kept thinking that they were either gonna trick him and poison him or the Flash was just tricking him into thinking that he drained all his speed force and I dunno. Either way the end was kinda dumb. I do realize they have what 5 more episodes to go so they cant end the Zoom story yet.
So what, is there gonna be another 2 or 3 week break until the next episode?
 
So who is in the mask? It has to be Jay or his father. I am thinking father with the military stuff, but then he did say Jay. I am so confused, and not in a good way.

Bothers me that they destroyed the myth of Zoom here. Not nearly as cool anymore.
 
I do like the theory that Jay is actually Hunter, but he grew up without his evil father, because Hunter went back in time to save him. And thus the man in the mask is his father. So basically, Barry is trying to save the monster who created Zoom.
 
lol then they did alot to thorw us off prior cause they had the mole on jay's neck prior when barry and jessy trapped with him and that was white dude.

it just mean guess they were trying make up their mind on who they want it to be cause they really wan o throw people of and still surprise people.

anyway it's possible cause of joe mentioning that, ( and the writers/ show runners are a bit weird.) and That it is earth 2 wally.

But again and I've said this before during the earth event. why didn't earth 2 iris and joe not mention him. with how thing turned out over there with barry's mother still alive, and with earth 2 henry, shouldn't that mean earth 2 wally should have been raised by joe?

thing's shouldn't played out that way where those two have no knowledge of him. you know?

Yea i thought he was white to but now idk as far as joe knowing him and being raised by him he might not of cuz they didnt show wally on earth2 at all actually the only people they didnt show on earth2 was Henry and wally but barrys phone at least showed dad on his phone. Unless they go with someone completely new i think the most likely is wally that could change tho if they give us any more clues in the episodes to come

like I said before started talking to you

its similar to a psionic echo like with some people that travel through the astral plane with their psionic powers. an ehco of them selves is left there some how and it's some what sentient.

I guess for speedsters with time travel at play a piece of them is left in the time stream, like a "copy" trapped in the time stream and it's sentient .

he used a time Remanent cause a speed mirage can't act as a sentient person acting on it's own free will . but a Remanent which similar to a pisonic Echo (via x-men AND MARVEL OVER ALL) can. a mirage isn't possible to act two earths at once.

the person will have to be present and that's not possible to do, between two earth. unless you can literally multiply .

I do under stand it but I have a feeling no matter how i explain there's always some peeps that will be confused.




it's just a copy of that person in trapped in the time stream.

the truth is there wasn't much of plan beside barry wanting the portal made open to earth 2. I guess he didn't think zoom was so bent on his own plan that he'd wait for the portal to open again from Barry's side.

inpatience isn't good thing.

Wouldn't be surprised if the name of Jay's Mother...eh, Hunter's Mother, turns out to be "Nora".

Right when Zoom has the Flash pegged down on the ground with his feet on his neck, Barry will say that they have to save "Nora", before Caitlin (or Iris) runs in to say that it was Barry's mother name as well. :o:oldrazz::cwink:
 
An entertaining episode. But, some things were kinda confusing.

:funny:
 
Yeah, the team just giving Zolomon Barry's speedforce when Barry had just kicked Zoom's arse earlier made no sense at all, and then it left them relying on the kindness of a psychotic speedster who had already been killing people before he was dying from the Velocity drug. Fun episode, but the ending just made no sense on team Flash's part, they had the upper hand and instead they just let Zoom win.
 
Honestly, it would have made better sense if Hunter said that he was able to travel to another Earth that had another version of him present on it, one that's just as evil as him but not as cunning.

That way you could avoid any time paradox or time traveling plot holes. They could just say that Earth 2 Zoom promised to share Barry's speed with this other (Earth-3?) version of Hunter Zolomon, only for him to have been eventually backstabbed by him when he was killed as Zoom was chasing Barry and Wells through the breach.

Agreed. If anything, it would have made sense for Zoom to hold onto Wally during the entire process and only let him go when he got Barry's speed entirely.

They just pretty much stood there like idiots for allowing him to win that easy.
 
I think the Supergirl trip was "explained" during that moment in his initial run, where he went through a breach, and came back out of it in less than a second. That was never mentioned again, and I was sorta expecting that to be the way he opens breaches again, instead of depending on Cisco.

I was also half expecting the speed formula stolen from Barry would somehow end up in Wally. But I guess that was just wishful thinking.

Yeah, the only dialogue/line that Barry states to reference that experience was him saying "I'm Back!" in a surprised/relieved tone.

And if you listen carefully, you can hear the same piece of music that was played when we first saw the shot of Supergirl's easter egg from their first trip to Earth-2 when Barry disappeared in the portal in tonight's episode.
 
Pretty good episode even though there were several stupid things. 1st for Barry to not take out zoom when he had the changes. 2nd for zoom to give up wally before he got Barry's speed. 3erd for Barry to give up his speed. You know that just makes zoom more powerful and unstop able. 4th Barry was faster then zoom they said. Once zoom gave up wally why not just run towards zoom and take him out.

Oh man that is true then you wouldn't put new people in danger you would just have the same people that where already in danger and wouldn't risk people you know being in danger. So did zoom take catlin back to Earth 2 or something?

he's still on earth one with her for now
 
So I guess they must have made a last minute editing/filming choice with the wally scene since in this promotional shot, Barry had his mask off when Zoom showed up with Wally.

Supergirl crossover nodded.
"I can't believe I'm saying this about a man I shot at, and punched in the face" :funny:
"Patch Adams nightmare." I want to laugh at it, but I can't.
YEESH, Harrison Wells is creepy.
Hunter Zolomon is creepier.

hmm I put it spoiler weeks befor last night but it's just page over three pics from CBR all with zoom masked
 
So let me see if I have this correct...

The CW-DCTV/Arrow Universe is one where...

1. Green Arrow acts more like Batman

2. The Name of Firestorm's Mother in the comics is Green Arrow's major (and poisonous) love interest

3. We have had two Black Canaries, with the first one having been lovers with Nyssa Al Ghul and with the second one having been recently killed off.

4. Connor Hawke isn't Oliver's Son

5. Jay Garrick is nothing more than a facade created by Hunter Zolomon, who's appearance as Zoom looks more in line with the Black Flash

6. Atom started off like a cheap Iron Man ripoff and is now involved with Hawkgirl, the soulmate of Hawkman (who is known to be the best friend of Atom's in the comics)

7. Heatwave is also Chronos


This is one strange universe..lol

Suddenly this universe doesnt seem as cool as I thought lol
 
I didnt like the ending to this at all. I was just sitting dumb founded after wally was let go and team flash was just sitting there talking with zoom. I was screaming in my head just go knock him out barry since you did just 20 minutes earlier. I kind of think these shows would greatly benefit from a 13-15 episode run instead of a full season to cut out all the dumb fat.

There is a chance the real Jay Garrick could be the man in the iron mask.
