The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 16 "Trajectory"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 16

“Trajectory”

Synopsis:

Trajectory arrives in town intent on creating maximum chaos. Trajectory’s antics are misinterpreted as having been perpetrated by The Flash himself. Barry must thus act quickly to uncover the mystery of who is causing damage in which others think it is him, and what may be driving their mad desire for speed and destruction.

Review:

With the team exhausted trying to increase Barry’s speed, they decide to go out, this is where we meet Trajectory, who starts to cause havoc across the city making the public believe it is The Flash. The team believes that it is Eliza Harmon, a scientist which Caitlin reached out to for help on Velocity 9. With Barry unable to catch her, he contemplates using the serum in order to increase his own speed. This was until Harrison Wells talks him out of it. With her increase use of Velocity 9, Trajectory runs so fast that she ends up evaporating due to the side effects.

Meanwhile during the episode, we learn that Cisco is also vibing, in this case its on Zoom. While trying to figure out what caused Trajectory to evaporate, they start to connect the dots and which all point to Jay. They use Jay’s helmet to allow Cisco to vibe and finally learn his real identity of Zoom.

Final Thoughts:

After a few weeks on Hiatus, The Flash is back. A very solid episode, but as is the case of all villains which didn’t get there name from Cisco Trajectory was weak. But in the end this episode was more about revealing who Zoom really is than it was about the villain. 

I am disappointed that Jesse will no longer be part of show, I was interested to see what her character was going to bring to the team. As in many cases, chances are she will return some where down the road.

As said before this was a solid episode, but only worth One Thumbs Up. Not due to anything being bad but more as a result of the season we have been given. So many great episodes not all can be Two Thumbs Up. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode are and leave your comment below.

The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 14 "Escape From Earth-2"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 14

“Escape From Earth-2”

Synopsis:

On Earth-2, the team asks for help from an unexpected source to find Zoom’s Lair, while on Earth-1, Caitlin tries to perfect Velocity-9 so Jay can stop the Geomancer.

Review:

With Barry caught and locked up in Zoom’s lair, Zoom is now out looking for Wells. In order to find the Lair of Zoom, Wells and Cisco use Earth-2’s Barry and Iris to track down Killer Frost. Once she has been captured she leads the team to where barry is being held and assist with keeping Zoom from Killing Jesse. The episode ends with Barry, Wells, Cisco and Jesse returning to Earth-1, but before the collapse of the remaining breach Zoom grabs Jay and pulls him back to Earth-2.

Final Thoughts:

Another stellar performance by Grant Gustin, his ability to portray the complete opposite qualities of both Barry’s has been some of the best acting on the show. 

We finally learned a little more about the man in the masked locked up in Zooms Lair. We learn that his name might be Jay, leaving us to wonder who Jay Garrick really is, Is Garrick just another man from Earth-2 working with Zoom? Is the real Garrick trapped with Zoom? so many questions, but I don’t believe that Garrick is Zoom as some of the internet community is predicting. 

So now with the breach closed and with Wells and Jesse back on earth one, they can work on a way to finally defeat Zoom. The only positive with the breach being closed is that the crossover with Supergirl is starting to look more like they will be sharing Earth-1 with each other. 

I give this episode Two Thumbs Up, Let us know your prediction of who Zoom might be and leave your comments below.
