Overall, as corny as Flash can be at times, it's a great show. It doesn't shy away from diving straight into the character's mythos and speed related content. It's fast paced ... I like that. It does suffer having annoying characters and episodes I consider to be filler, but its been a great ride. This latest episode that we've had to wait two weeks for is by far the dumbest episode I've watched so far.
I'm so upset at this episodes I almost don't want to talk about it. But I can't ignore this. First let's just quickly recap the events. Actually, no, fuck it. Let's just talk about the stupidity. Barry has the tachyon device on him thus making him faster (he goes to Supergirl's world and comes back). This doesn't feel right. Instead of him growing to properly harness the Speedforce, it feel like our hero is cheating. But anyways, with it on, he's faster than Zoom. So what does Barry do? IMMEDIATELY challenge Zoom and GIVES away his element of surprise. That he's faster now. After leading Zoom into Star Labs (why would Zoom follow him there) Barry manages to incapacitate him. Yayyy. NO.
Zoom escapes and steals Wally. He wants to trade Barry's speed for Wally's life. Barry immediately gives in to the plan and it's not even like it's an exchange. Zoom GIVES them Wally back. Yes. You heard me. Before even taking Flashes power, Zoom actually releases Wally. Then Wells explains that Flash has to run on the treadmill with this device thingy drains his speed. So let's recap. Barry is faster than Zoom. Yes. Barry has Wally back. Yes. To even lose his powers he has to willing run his speed into nothingness. Now, what hero in their right mind who has all the advantages willingly discard their powers? What? Barry then goes, loses his powers, Zoom injects them like a druggie, gets faster and then takes away Caitlyn after she tries appealing to the "good" in him.
This is our reward after two breaks. Utter fucking shit. Next episode he has no damn power so that's going to be fucking boring as shit too. I'm tired of Barry being an idiot, give Wally his powers and let's see if he's any bloody smarter.
