The Firestorm episode was a step back in the right direction (though I laughed at the scene with the Flash costume right out in the open while they were talking to Hewitt). I can only assume they couldn't get the same actor who played Jason Rusch in Season 1 back (but why not recast him?). Jefferson Jackson's a pretty obscure Firestorm character to bring into the fold.
King Shark was great!
One step closer to Wally, which made my kids jump up and down and dance a lot when the brother came up.
They really need a stress reliever ep and King Shark would be perfect. That was really cool. Some of these shows are so trying to "be real" they forget to have occasional fun.

I'm really digging Patty Spivot as a character!
Much more appealing as a love interest than either Linda or Iris, imo.

That's true and this episode they finally figured out how to get him to ask her out. I was beginning to think the writers couldn't ask someone out.

Yeah, I like Patty "I'm a detective. You think I wouldn't notice you're blind" Spivot.
I am hoping she will stay because, boy, the turnover in characters is super-fast in this show. Henry Allen was gone in episode one. Martin Stein flew away with Jefferson Jackson at the end of last week’s episode and was not part of the team on this episode. Now Jay Garrick is gone, although Caitlyn Snow Raymond pathetically begged him to stay, and Hawkgirl shows up.
My head is spinning.

You'd think that now that they know the singularity is a portal to another Earth that somebody would stop for a second and think "Hey, maybe Ronnie was dragged into that other Earth!" though.

For some of the greatest scientific minds on their Earth, they are all rather dense. It would be awesome if Earth-2 Wells just stops every so often and says, "Man, you people are MORONS!"

Besides, she's one of the more poorly played characters IMO and isn't that also the same actress playing Harry's daughter on the other Earth? Ewww. And when did Hawkgirl show up? I missed that somehow.

I missed that somehow. Kendra Saunders is the Post-Zero Hour Hawkgirl. It's been 6-8 months since Ronnie's death, and his second one at that (and she spent a whole year mourning for the first one). I don't think it's unheard of for someone to enter into a relationship after that amount of time. Whether it's a legitimate romance on her part or displaced grief is another question entirely, that I imagine they'll explore.

I thought they probably just picked up this season where they left off last season.

Yeah, I believe six months was what they established in the Season premiere.

I actually thought that briefly as well, but it's another actress (and rumored to be another prominent DC hero!).

OK maybe I get the no-prize for dumbness, but that emoji showed up accidentally. I have seen posters change text, quote direct from other posts, and insert descriptive links, videos, and pictures into posts. Is there an easy way to do all this? HTML does not seem to work.

I've feeling you're not seeing what most of us are. Above every post is an option to "quote." Hitting reply brings up many emoticon options as well as basic typesetting and options for including images and videos.

I got the whole "show off to the press, police and his friends that I've beaten him" bit (though how did he know about STAR Labs?). The bigger question is that if Zoom is this powerful and doesn't lose his speed on Earth-1 like Jay did, then why bother with sending other lackeys through to attack Barry at all?

I'm kind of surprised that they are getting away with a giant man-shark and a talking gorilla on this show.
But the ratings don't really seem to take a hit.
Plus, people from Earth-Two pretending to be people from Earth-One and vice versa. When will they figure out this isn't going to work?

puzzled. That's "Flash" ain't it? Talking Gorillas and stuff. I'd pee my pants for a Gorilla City one-shot. I think it'd make a great spin-off.
The Earth 2 Earth 1 thing is probably more a problem for those that can keep track, which wouldn't be me. Except for Jay, I don't really know who started where.
What's the run down on that?

Yeh, well, but you know Block only about a thousand peopel in the U.S. even read comics anymore, but those that are watching Flash on the TV seem OK with talking gorillas thing. And if any real gorillas were watching, I think there might be a kind of uncanny-valley thing happening there. Not critical, just an observation. I watch it for the soap opera. Everybody wants a Dad, everybody wants a Son, etc.

Each of the shows do seem to have some underlying theme. The "Dad" think is touching but I hadn't really connected Grodd into that until you mentioned it.
Still not seeing the issue with talking gorillas though I think it's actually thinking gorilla. Grodd talks doesn't he? Now that I think about it, I don't recall for sure.
