The Flash S02E05: The Darkness and the Light

I figured that was just a coincidence, no?

Harry had been at it with Jay for so long to combat Zoom, et al, I’m sure he has plenty of knowledge of what a speedster can do.

Harry’s daughter is the future speedster Jesse Quick.

I’m surprised of “run up behind her real fast and hit her in the back of the head” wasn’t Option A.

Right?

Also, why didn’t she just blind him again? Usually Cisco comes up with a countermeasure for that kinda shit, like photo-sensitive contacts or something.

Also, I thought Zoom’s costume was yellow, not unlike the Reverse Flash. But here he looked like Black Flash. I don’t know enough about the comics, and I think Prof. Zoom was the Black Flash at some point. But other than the producers not wanting to confuse the audience with two big bad’s wearing the same yellow color suit, why would Zoom have a black, Deathly look?

At least give him skis!

Anyway, they’re hammering the “Earth 2 villain feels compelled to kill their Earth 1 counterpart for some reason” too hard to tule out that Zoom is the Earth 2 Barry Allen. They may be trying to justify Zoom’s hatred of Barry by establishing that killing your counterpart is just what one does when one hails from Earth 2.

She didn’t have her helmet anymore, did she? I figured that if she didn’t have the helmet, any attempt to blind Flash would blind her too.

Originally, I thought Dr. Light’s idea was that if she killed the Earth-1 Linda Park, she could hide from Zoom by pretending to be the Earth-1 Linda Park - but, of course, committing the murder in a very public place would ruin that plan.

Zoom in the comics is also known as Reverse Flash. To make things even more confusing, Eobard Thawne - whom we’ve seen as Reverse Flash on the TV show - is also known as Professor Zoom in the comics. Both Reverse Flashes were similar yellow costumes. You can see why the TV show would want to differentiate their Season 1 Big Bad from the Season 2 Big Bad. Black Flash was something else entirely.

Has this picture of Zoom been posted here yet?

:smack: Ah, you’re right. Still, she could close her eyes and make a blinding flash (heh). Enough where he was blinded for several seconds, like a flash-bang, then just burn a hole through Barry’s chest.

Is the Jay Garrick of Earth-1 accounted for or could he be in the running for Zoom?

A lot of it was the delivery, which was awesome, but yeah, fantastic line.

Well, Zoom is the Big Bad in Earth-2, so whatever Jay from Earth-1 is up to, I don’t see how he could be the Zoom who’s been terrorizing Earth-2 for years before the Singularity opened.

That looks almost organic. I mean, the mask has wrinkles? It’s also not joined to the jacket, the way Barry’s is…
