This week's Flash episode was great!

[knight errant00]

Maybe, just MAYBE...they are going to kill Henry, but reveal that his grandfather was the REAL Jay Garrick...as played by Shipp. They said they were going to restore Jay's heroic stature somehow.

My money's on something like that, too -- like revealing the E2 Henry Allen is named Jay Garrick and somehow he ends up Barry's mentor/father figure.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I liked this episode. IF they use it as the END to Barry's "I should avenge my Mom" bit. I still don't understand why he didn't LAST season. They still haven't sold me on his rather arbitrary decision not to, but after this, I think they can put it to rest.

I didn't know anything about Kevin Smith directing this one, but saw Mewes in the credits, and then Smith himself.

I still enjoy the show, but I'm ready for this season to be over. I just hope they don't kill Henry next episode. Having him say he's moving to Central City...to me that feels like they are setting him up for tragedy.

Yeah, I thought it had a Princess Dragonmom-addressing-her-minions in Inframan vibe.

When I saw the E2 Laurel in the "Next Week" teaser, I began to wonder if that was a very Silver-Age way to bring her back to Arrow.

I was kind of hoping Zoom was speaking to a room of Ultraman type monsters. It gave off that kind of vibe.

[johnnystorm]

The Zoom speech at the end was. As was every scene with Iris in it.

[palitoy]

Whooosh! Filler Episode!

At least the Jason Mewes cameo wasn't cringe worthy.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yeah, that was a bit weird.

I thought this episode was a step in the right direction. This storyline seems more padded than last season's. I think because they are putting Zoom more front and center than the did Reverse Flash last season.

Did you notice Henry was on the ground too? Hmmm.....

[johnnystorm]

Boy, they are really milking out this storyline now. Tonight was another filler episode. I was really hoping a stray bolt would fry Iris and put an end to this godless romance.
And now we see the beginning of a couple more speedsters.
This weeks Wha? Moment...
"Garrick was my mother's maiden name." So Barry didn't know his own grandmother's name? As in "Hi I'm Jay Garrick!" "Hey, my Nana was a Garrick too!"

[knight errant00]

Killer Frost went to the "Captain Cold Acting Academy"

Right down the street, isn't it, from "The William . . . Shatner . . . School . . . ofdramaticacting" ?

[Hector]

Ok, here comes Captain Bringdown once again...

So Griffin, gets older the more he exerts himself, ok, fine.

But it was established that although this process was indeed very rapid...he still had a few months to live. Through their amazing detective work, the Cisco Kid and company figured he was 18 years old...and through one year of displaying his feats of strength, he aged to around the late thirties/mid forties in age or so.

Ok, so far so good...I get that...

But in two little encounters against our heroic group...Griffin throws four Home Depot garbage bins, one carnival carasoul car...punches Barry once in the chest...and suddenly he's 100 years old and drops DEAD?



Come on, man...

But even funnier...skinny arze non powered Barry throws a few punches, and while Griffin is not hurt, he reels back?



Come on, man...

And why once dead, does Griffin revert back to the youthful looking 18 year old again? Was he a werewolf?



Come on, man...


But, I love Zoom, and I'm sorry, Killer Frost had it coming to her...

[palitoy]

^Yeah, she was enjoying the taste of the scenery, for sure. But Killer Frost in the comics wore a prom dress, so not too subtle.

I didn't mind it, it's a little camp, that's OK. Not a bad episode but I wish it had moved the plot along a little further.

I did respect the idea that Barry is still powerless at the end of the show.

How many episodes do we have left until the finale?

Killer Frost went to the "Captain Cold Acting Academy"

[johnnystorm]

Loved the meeting of the two Caitlyns, but sorry to see Killer Frost exit. Must be torture for the Iron Mask to watch the revolving door of escapees but no one opens his door. That tapping surely spells out " Really? Again? C'mon!!!"
And the breach is open for Zoom to use? Cisco can open but not shut? And nobody has installed a baby monitor on it at the very least?

Another not really a win for Flash, although he counts it as taking down Griffin without powers. If the plan was to let him beat on you until he croaks, then WINNING!
As always, Joe was there to yell freeze and fire his gun aimlessly. At least it seems the Central City PD has no paperwork involed with discharging your weapon, or Joe would be in hearings all day.
At least Griffin didn't just walk into Star for Wells.

[Earth 2 Chris]

This week's episode redeemed things a bit. I'm guessing the Man in the Iron Mask has to be Jay, and Zoom switched places or something at some point. Still not sure how Jay's helmet ties into Zoom's dad, etc. But given what Berlanti said, I'm hoping for the real Jay to come out clean soon.
