I'm not even a fan but this series butchers everything Flash related. I don't understand how fans aren't ripping it apart. The writing is some of the worst formularic chick flick level of TV writing I have had to endure recently, it drives me nuts how idiotic it is. And here we have another episode filled with nonsense, pseudo science attached to super powers that is pulled out of the ass and a story completely irrelevant.
Also another great example of this nonsense writing, somehow they assume Jay and Zoom are the same people even though Jay was on Earth 1 the entire time trying to fix the breach WHILE being Zoom on Earth 2. Sure Reverse Flash could run so fast imposing as two people, dressing and undressing, while making no sign of moving because it's convenient for the plot (but then never reaches comparable speed when he fights)... But Zoom doing that AND running through a goddamn dimensional rift also? Sound logic there people. But considering the quality of the show, I guess it's logical. But hey it's the same series that has a character walk in front of the danger zone for no reason to do a victory pose, just to get hand stabbed to death. Wouldn't have worked any other way.
I'm curious, please tell me how you would do it much better with a small tv level budget? The reasonwhy comic fans aren't "ripping it apart" is because Flash is one of the best if not the best superhero tv show around right now. Even though it has it's flaws it still manages to capture the essence of what/who the Flash is. That's the reason it's held in such high regards and has a 98% rating on IMDB. Can it get a little camy? Yes. Does it get formulaic at times? Yes. But so do the comics
Meh this is because DC is honestly put in a no win situation. If they do the light hearted goofy humor, critics and certain "fans" will claim they're copying Marvel. So they do the dark and gritty tone yet people say they're not staying true to the character. Whatever it is they literally have their backs against the wall. I just hope the movie does really good and certain comic fans are just super whiny
However I still stand by the fact that Micheal Rosenbaum should have been Luthor and that Paul Dini/Bruce Timm should have wrote the script
So far on the show we have 4 versions of Jay. Jay as Hunter Zoloman on E1. Jay as possibly the masked man. Jay as "Jay garrick the supposed E2 Flash" and now Jay as Zoom. It'll be interesting to see which direction they go with this storyline but I was really hoping they didn't do the Zoom reveal because he could easily be the overarching villain for the show
