The Flash The Flash Season 2 Episode 9: "Running to Stand Still"

[terry78]

Discussing his wife.

Killer driedels. Classic.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It was an enjoyable episode. The villains were the best part though.

 

[Boy Scout]

I thought this was pretty boring.

 

[Steyin]

Fantastic episode.

 

[MrSpyder]

That Flash action figure is very nice. Where to purchase?

 

[Paradox1]

Least favorite episode of the season the villains were for fun though.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Absolutely loved this episode, a lot of really fun action and some good character and overall plot development. Sucks that we're now on winter break for the show though.

 

[Rowen]

Will they show zoom's identity soon?

 

[vantheman77]

Not quite up there with Man In The Yellow Suit. The villains, Wally West's intro, and the end saved the episode.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Damn what an episode, once again Mark Hamill delivers as the Trickster and I'm loving weather Wizard a lot . I think Zooms plan is cleaver and I can't wait to see how it comes to a head in the second half of the season. Once more Captain Cold just keeps delivering even if he isn't a villain. Loved the intro of Wally. Oh and damn Patty almost offed Weather Wizard.

 

[gugumugats]

Man, that chase scene and the callback to Dastardly Death.

 

[spiderman2]

Just finished watching the episode thought it was just very ok. I thought the begging part was going to be one of those episodes where you see what happens at the end and then it says something like 24 hours earlier or something. Was nice to see zoom again. I fell like with what we heard at the end that zoom's down fail is going to be his ego thinking he can take down any one even if they get stronger and stronger. I thought for sure Barry was going to tell Patty who he is sever times but no. I have a bad felling about what is going to happen to Patty based off the trailer for the next episode. Looks like we are begging to see more and more of zoom. I thought there would be more surprised in this episode. Sucks we have to want in till jan 19 but I though it would be even like one week later then that. Once it starts up again does any one know how many more episodes we get before another break?

 

[spiderman2]

I thought this was pretty boring.

I kind of agree and it didn't really fell much like a midseason final and last years midseason final was much much better.

 

[ares834]

Good episode. The Trickster was just like Joker from B:TAS. Heck, Joker also had a Christmas themed episode.

The whole magnet thing was a little stupid and convenient. But it did let us get a nice Breaking Bad reference ("Magnets *****!").

 

[batdude]

Yeah, Hamill's Trickster is a lot like his Joker, but still fun. Not enough Captain Cold though. Might have been fun to see Barry and him fight Trickster and Cold together

 

[Loki882]

-Zoom's plot feels a bit too similar to RF's from last season, and they'd better not actually go the "Harrison Wells betrays them" route yet again.

-Jay/Caitlin still feels really forced/awkward.

-Jesse L. Martin, Grant Gustin, and Candace Patton tore it up acting-wise in that scene where Barry and Iris told Joe about Wally.

-Patty was also really good this episode (tell her already Barry/Joe, this is getting ridiculous).

-"Every universe has The Godfather." GOOD, because The Godfather is EPIC!!

-I liked Wally so far. Granted he's had like a minute of screentime, but still.

-More delightful Mark Hamill scenery-chewing, also awesome.

-I'm getting tired of the GA bashing. Not only is it unnecessarily petty, but it doesn't even line up with Joe/Oliver's more recent interactions.

-I also don't like Joe giving Barry the watch instead of Iris. In the continue "Iris doesn't get much interesting stuff to do" front, Joe constantly seems like he's much closer to Barry than to her, and this episode REALLY made it feel awkward for me.


Still all in all, a pretty good episode

 

[Supernova]

For a mid season finale it was ok, like others said last years cliffhanger was just on another level. Hamill went full joker and it almost became comical.

I kind of roled my eyes that were once again having wells get barry to faster for villianous reasons.

 

[Supernova]

Also im curious how all these speedsters are gonna get there powers

 

[catch22]

The "team" using their smarts to win against the rogues isn't something I'm interested in seeing. I want to watch Barry being creative with his powers, not nerds with BS science doing things for him.

 

[The Caped Knight]

this deleted scene would've been nice to see.


it showcased why The Trickster isn't a pushover

Flash is Spider-Man, he sometimes has to go a science route to stop villains.

 

[chamber-music]

Hamill's trickster was always had those elements that you would later go on to see in his Joker.

Any word when Mirror Master is going to show up? He seems like the last major Flash Rogue yet to make an appearance.

 

[Web-Head]

Wally!

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I gotta say with whats going on in the world and this time of the year... that whole scene with Grant talking to wells unable to hear him and saying' I FORGIVE YOU!" that was some DEEP *()&*(!!
i barley rarely( if ever) hear a comic hero say that to the Villian!! its usually i am gonna beat you to a pulp in this interrogation room!!
that &*( was FREAKIN COOL!! that made dude a REAL HERO( and a better person than i am ) to me!!

and freaking Mark and his
"Hey! Mister Greedy Throttle down!" to that kid dressed as Santa had me ROLLING!!!
love MARK!
