The Flash Season 2 Episode 12

“Fast Lane”

Synopsis:

Barry Tries to team up with Dr. Harrison Wells but finds out Harrison prefers working alone. The Flash fights a new Meta-Human. Iris researches her brother’s drag racing. Dr. Wells starts stealing Barry’s speed.

Review:

So there is a new Meta-Human in town, Tar-pit. Barry is trying to stop the new meta but encounters issues when Wells starts to steal the speed force for Zoom. After a show down with Tar-pit which ends up putting Iris in an hospital, Wells guilt leads him to confessing that he was in the middle of stealing the speed force. While locked up Barry convinces the team that they should help harrison, in order to save his Daughter who is trapped by Zoom in Earth-2.

Final thoughts:

After a few more somber episode of The Flash, we are back to the more light hearted show which everyone loves. Once again we are treated to the humor of the show. Loved the scene where Cisco asked looking for confirmation who the best hacker is and was greeted to the response from Caitlin and Barry of Felicity Smoak. This show does a wonderful job of always referring back to Arrow. Nice nod and recognition to the show which made all of this possible.

So Wells has found a way to steal the speed force and uses it to draw the powers from Barry, interesting development. Its also nice to see that Wells from Earth-2 has a conscience. I am glad they are not making him evil this season and really looking forward to how he will ultimately help Barry defeat Zoom. The next few episodes will be great to watch, as it looks like the team will be traveling to Earth-2. I am sure this will lead to Killer Frost and the return of Robbie Amell.

We were treated to some great news, as we will see a crossover with Supergirl in March. Can’t wait, love the crossover and love the fact that CW and CBS will be working together on this. On a personal note, Cox Communications is currently in a fight with CW over broadcasting fee’s which is resulting in the blackout. What does this mean for all of you, well its a delay in these awesome reviews until we are able to view on Hulu.
