Spoilers The Flash - Season 2

Have her play off of Shipp as the 90s Flash. Yes, I keep going there and will until it happens.
It's certainly possible but the show has so many different storylines to resolve or cover next week. I am doubtful it will be this season.

Also I been following John's filming schedule. I think he went back to the US after this epiosde was done. Unless he shot some finale scenes before he left.
 
Hunter punched the wall of reality!

Sigh, would have been nice if they hadn't killed Henry. It was just soooo telegraphed after he said he'd be sticking around.

Tina, who has hardly interacted with Barry/Flash figured it out. Wally is an idiot. I hope it gets through to him with that final scene, but with the way he's been written, they'll come up with some lame excuse for him not to figure it out.
 
That was kind of a weird episode. We open with a hundred metas running rampant, but after a brief off-screen fight Black Siren is the only one they have to deal with. I was looking forward to some proper group fights, so that was disappointing.
Cool to see Laurel again in this way. I thought it was a little weird that Caitlyn said "we loved her". Didn't she only meet her in passing like two times?
And the moment I saw Barry's Dad just standing around in the group and serving no purpose to the plot, I knew he was a dead man.

I've been saying it all season; Zoom can travel between worlds at will!!!
 
Great seeing the Shipp/Pays reunion at last. And Cisco and Caitlin playing their doppelgangers was fun. (And Katie Cassidy was more interesting as Black Siren than she was as Laurel.)

I wish someone had had the sense to suggest to Wally that there were ways to help people other than putting his life on the line without powers or training. Like, he could've volunteered at a hospital or a shelter. There must've been lots of victims of the "Metapocalypse" who were hurt or lost their homes and needed all the help they could get.

It occurs to me that
we saw Zoom stick his hand through Henry's chest, but we didn't see the result. I'm open to the possibility that next episode will start with Henry revealing that he's actually a Flash himself. Somehow.

It'd be weird in comics. In TV, with a finite budget, it makes perfect sense. At least we got a minute or two of it.

(Did we see the Earth-2 counterpart of Fire attacking Joe and the Captain? A levitating woman wreathed in green flame?)

The two teams seem to have gotten together on various occasions beyond what we saw onscreen, given all the Team Arrow tech that Cisco keeps providing. And they probably Skype regularly.
 
I felt bad for Wally during that dinner scene...all those people, and he's literally the only person in the room who doesn't know that Barry's the Flash....

.

Good observation. I never thought of that connection. Also there was a winged Metahuman. Not sure if it was sure if it was a man or woman. Maybe Carter or Kendra?

Not anymore...

I did like the bit of Clark Kenting with the Captain and the Flash/Barry. Superspeed makes it easy to give yourself an alibi.

At the very least, probably a modification of the digital model of one of the Hawks.
 
I liked this better than last week's episode, which was a bit too metaphysical for my taste.

Watching the trailer, I kind of suspected Henry would die based on Barry's reaction. Black Siren made a compelling villain, and I can understand how they downplayed the presence of other metas in Central City to spotlight her as one the most powerful of Zoom's lieutenants.

At some point, I was expecting Wally and Jessie to suddenly develop superspeed to aid Barry in capturing other villains. Had Cisco's newfound vibrational blasts also fully manifested, the team would've kicked ass.
 
Unless it's in the form of a cliffhanger, I agree.
Of course as I mentioned a few weeks ago John mentioned on Facebook that he was hitting the gym due to a costume fitting...

Maybe he was just teasing to generate fan speculation. But I do not think so. He has always been honest on what he posts, even if it's silence. He posted that picture of him and Amanda Pays on set. Which was a surprise because he rarely gives away much info when he is filming,
 
This cinches it for me. The man in the iron mask is Jay Garrick - the Earth 2 version of Henry Allen. This way we'll have older Jay Garrick as was most common in the comics; Shipp as still a recurring part of the show; and Shipp as Flash again.

I am all for that in theory and the 12 year old kid inside me who first watched his show in 1990 would love it.

But something does not add up about that. The man in the iron mask seems way too skinny to be John Wesley Shipp. Also it appears the 1990 version of the Flash exists on its own Earth. Would that mean John would play 3 different characters? I LOVE John but that would seem a bit contrived in order to get him to play all these different characters.
