Iris is beginning to realize that all signs (outside of her actually feelings) are pointing towards she and Barry being meant for each other, and she’s starting to convince herself that, maybe, that’s what she’s really feeling deep down.Īgain, there are ways that this makes sense, and could be effective TV, but last night didn’t achieve that. Remember that one episode last year, before Barry went back in time, where he and Iris fell in love? Well, that’s happening in slow motion now. When he was posing as Jay Garrick, there were so many layers to his life – making Jay just a mask, and removing any and all sense of interesting character development from Zoom is a really big mistake on the show’s part. But that makes Zoom such a standard super-villain. Of course an orphan who saw his mother killed by his father would be scarred by that, and would potentially be more likely to be violent than a child raised in a loving home.
Having Zoom, Hunter Zolomon, have a story that is similar to Barry’s makes a lot of sense, but is cliched to the hilt. This episode was a series of moments that were conceptually ok, but executed in ways that just felt forced.
In two seasons of The Flash, there has rarely been an episode that felt like a major misstep.
