The latest episode of THE FLASH gives us a somewhat Wally West-themed look at the developing power set of TV’s Barry Allen, up against a bad guy who literally adds a huge spark to the show (ouch! Sorry for the pun). Barry also gets to see another side of Harrison Wells…and we see the nature of time in a way in this episode as well. Welcome to another fast-paced, action-packed episode of THE FLASH!

One of The Flash TV series’ mysteries is Barry Allen’s benefactor at S.T.A.R. Laboratories, Harrison Wells. He’s got secret abilities, secret knowledge, a secret agenda, and only the vaguest of backstories, and if he’s not actually a time traveler, he at least has access to future knowledge.
We ran a poll over the last week asking readers which secret identity they thought was most likely. Here are the results.
The most popular theory, so far, is that he’s the Reverse Flash. A few people wrote in to specify Hunter Zolomon or Eobard Thawne. Future Barry Allen and “exactly who he says he is” were very a close second and third. After that, it was a sharp drop.
Write-ins Abra Kadabra (a time traveler who uses a lot of future technology) and Hunter Zolomon (wheelchair-bound, obsessed with making the Flash a better hero in his own twisted way) were popular, making me wonder how many people would have chosen them if I’d remembered to include Kadabra on the list, or split the two Zooms across separate options.
Full details below. I’ve combined write-ins where appropriate. Continue reading
The CW has finally released the trailer for next week’s Flash episode of the crossover, titled “Flash Vs Arrow”. The episode will air December 2nd, with the Arrow half of the crossover airing December 3rd. You can find the synopses for the episodes here.
Who’s excited? I’m definitely looking forward to the villains!
We start off with an interview with Greg Finley, who plays Girder on The Flash. Girder’s first appearance was shown this week, in “The Flash Is Born”.
Recent and future episode spoilers behind the jump.
Iris’ blog plays a big part in this episode, as she learns there are MORE metahumans in town than just the Streak. This time around, the villain has a direct connection to both Barry and Iris. And, we see more strangeness surrounding Harrison Wells. All this, and more, in another excellent episode of THE FLASH!
