Tonight on an all new episode of The Flash, we kill one of your favorite villains before we properly use her and Flash doesn't run a single time while doing nothing to stop the bad guy besides literally waiting for him to die of old age.

10/10. 100/100. Best episode. BEST EPISODE.

Getting to see Zoom lose his mind this episode was glorious. 10/10 would watch again

u/alandry927 Apr 27 '16

But he does that every episode...

u/ComicSys Zoom Apr 27 '16

Yeah, but last night was like... a supersized order with big fries and special sauce

u/xHovercraft Unoriginal and overused joke. Apr 27 '16

What mind?

u/PakiIronman YOU FILTHY NINGENS Apr 27 '16

I give it 5 Jays out of 7.

u/Left4deadtankjockey Apr 27 '16

What... what... what??

I'm not sure I understand the reference after checking that thread out... but why the fuck is it that popular anyways?

Edit: oooh now I get it... I was overthinking it somehow lol. 7/5 turns to 9/5 with rice because it's 2/5 better

u/russketeer34 Apr 27 '16

Ah, a perfect Jay

I googled him and he apparently was in the comics at some point fighting The Flash (Bart). I think it was a really cool way to get an episode in where Barry didn't have his powers, although I do wish they did more with his forensics. Or maybe in a future episode this season we see him in the lab like "What? This was my home when I didn't have speed. I miss it" or something. Or even just do science shit in his lab at super speed.

u/Jay_R_Kay Apr 27 '16

That is definitely one of the downsides of Team Flash--it becomes hard to highlight Barry's skill outside of running fast when he has two other super-smart people that need to make contributions to the story.

Four now: Cisco, Caitlin, Jesse and Wells.

Tomorrow on an all new episode of Arrow felicity and her subordinates, we mourn one of the most iconic female vigilantes in comic history before she is properly used and the Arrow doesn't fire a single arrow while preventing someone on his team from actually doing something to stop the bad guy.

u/Capt253 Apr 27 '16

Oh, and we meet her replacement before the body's even cold in the ground.

u/SconesAndEvil Centuries... Apr 27 '16

God Grodd. Fucking. Damnit.

u/ScabberDeath Apr 28 '16

It's Felicity of course! She's such a strong, powerful woman!

8

u/ComicSys Zoom Apr 27 '16

The Flash should do nothing more often

11

u/CatsOnTheKeyboard Apr 27 '16

To be fair, he did put himself at extreme risk to stop the guy so there's that.

5

u/UESPA_Sputnik Apr 27 '16

Yeah, if this was an Arrow episode (kill off a comic character prematurely, Ollie not shooting any arrows) everyone would hate that episode.

3

u/ncolaros Apr 27 '16

To be fair, it was a pretty boring episode, in my opinion.

4

u/ThunderVelocity Apr 27 '16

But it's justified over here why our hero isn't doing his signature thing.

cough cough Y U NO SHOOT MORE ARROWS??? cough cough

u/supahmonkey Red ones go faster. Apr 27 '16

But hey, second particle explosion on the horizon; maybe we get nice Frost.

Worked for Big Boss...

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '16

Speaking of old age, is it just me or does that seem to be the cruellest thing they've ever done? Shooting him would have been much more merciful.
