sometimes I really think the writers might not watch their own show.
Joe said that without Barry's speed they couldn't even make it through the breach.... ahem. but Wells made it thru the breach? and he has no powers - at least, that we know of. and Grodd was sucked thru as well - now, a meta human - and big a** gorilla - but not super speed. so at worst... Cisco could have done it. now, I'm sure they meant that they couldn't bet Zoom, but they could have made it thru the breach __________________

I feel that each episode is written from a different person which makes sense but it need to flow

better than last week, IMO. still didn't quite enjoy it a lot. enjoyed some, enjoyed the ending...
A) I know its not comic canon but do like Wally and Jessie B) Always good to see Henry C) Iris and Barry were good. D) Liked Cisco and his brother E) Liked Wells. so thats the positive. - Rupture was a complete disappointment - Somehow the risk of a particle acclerator is greater than Zoom.... sure. ok. kinda dumb but why not. sure. cause he'll just go away if you close your eyes and say three hail mary's. - has to be the most a** backwards and pointless kidnapping I've ever seen on television A) Not only does no one care seemingly - if Zoom never came I got the impression that they were just going to go on with their lives B) and because no one cares, no one is even trying to save Caitlin. C) which is really sad because apparently they are counting on her - the kidnapped victim of a socio path and mass serial killer - to save their asses. D) so in a way... they are sacrificing her to Zoom. Which is what I wanted to happen when Barry showed up at the end - I wish he would have said something like "we won't try" and she could have heard because then maybe we'd get her in Season 3 as a real villainous Killer Frost who tries to kick all the ass and is rightfully pissed off to the extreme. but instead we'll probably just get sad, down trodden Caitlin and everyone will act all happy that she's back when the truth is none of them really gave a damn when push came to shove. got 3 episodes left as it didn't do anything to really change my mindset that S2 will likely be my last. I just can't get over what they have done to a character who allegedly was important to the show. It'd be one thing if they were tried and failed and she wasn't aware that they even tried and became vengeful and what not. that would be fine with me. that might be worth watching. but these last two episodes? I think they've broken me.maybe the break between seasons 2 and 3 would be enough time for it to be better and bring me back IDK... but right now? Where we have Cisco say "she's scared but fine" and then tonight literally the only play her being kidnapped was Iris wondering why she was there and then Joe saying that Caitlin would stop Zoom from killing people by being the Zoom whisperer because you know.... being dragged through universes by a psychotic person who cares about you in a derranged manner is just fine and aww shucks... maybe if she becomes Killer Frost by the end of Season 2 and is pissed.... that would cause me possibly tune in for Season 3. Or if she died. Because then I could enjoy the other parts of the show and not always be reminded of how they basically made someone replaceable and irrleveant in the scope of a season and the amount of effort they put in was like " hey, we're basically going to say her name a few times and call it a day" __________________

nope. Barry's not dead. not at all. he is simply stuck inside of the speed force.
which is interesting because comically speaking, Barry is the speed force. the ending really improved the episode IMO because Zoom appears to have stopped being just a little lovesick puppy and went back to being a villain. it would have served them right if he had killed captain singh cause they were all being really dumb imo but I'm glad that he didn't. and i mean, I don't know for a fact that the show was intending this to work this way - and maybe it was IDK for sure - but after Iris' confession - the timing was interesting in that I think was when Barry decided finally not to do the PA attempt to get his powers back? so was that intended to be a defacto Barry choosing Iris over his powers and trying to save the city/caitlin/ stop Zoom? if I am remembering the timing correctly? That's how I took it, I just don't know if that was what the show intended for sure but I'm leaning in that direction and i do think something is going to happen with henry - probably death - but something regarding the line about his mom's maiden name will come up - i doubt that is just a red herring this season __________________
