Jay Garrick comes to The Flash in an episode packed with DC Comics references.
Dont get me wrong.
Theres plenty I really dug about this one, and its never anything less than thoroughly entertaining.
That might have been the better approach if they had been given the option.
The costume looks terrific, too.
Thatreallyrubs me the wrong way.
Dont worry, Im not remotely worried about this season.
Tom Cavanagh is going to remain a major presence this year, which is great.
later this year or in a future season.
And speaking of Earth-2…
Flash Facts!
There are some flourishes, though, like the mysterious flash of light that causes his accident.
Im sure this will be explored further as the season goes on.
Obviously that wont quite work here.
Im surprised they didnt play him as much more experienced than that.
I absolutely love the way they made Earth-2 look.
Its like an art deco hybrid, full of Flash Gordon style hi-tech.
I was wondering how they would handle that, and this was a really cool visual flourish.
I really want to spend more time there.
What are you talking about?
God, I love this show.
Ummm…its cute, but it worked better in theory.
Comic book movies and shows really need to stop trying to do panel for panel translations of stuff.
Instead he was a minor (reallyminor) Firestorm villain.
Perfect villain of the week fodder, but just that…fodder.
He first appeared inFirestorm: The Nuclear Man#51 in 1986.
He hasnt been seen a whole helluva lot since then.
Assuming, of course, thats the Zoom were talking about.
Im going to have to perform some major surgery on that one soon, though.
Martin Steins explanation of Multiverse theory is right in line with DC Comics lore.
The abandoned grow house that Sand Demon hides Patty in is Woodrue.
Jason Woodrue was the plant-loving Floronic Man, villain of one of the greatest Swamp Thing stories ever told.
I really hope he shows up one of these days.
Cisco utters the magic word, Vibe when explaining his slightly metahuman abilities to Professor Stein.
