The Flash: 10 Things It Must Do To Finish The Season Right

10. Stage A Climactic Fight With Zoom

The Flash€™s first season ended with a very atypical finale. He stopped the Reverse-Flash in the penultimate episode and instead the finale focused on trying to go back in time and wrestling with a huge emotional decision. It was somewhat strange but it absolutely worked. For Season 2, however, there is no emotional through-line that matches the sorrow of the death of Barry's mother. Sure, they€™re all feeling betrayed by Jay, but in no way is the sentiment important enough to anchor an entire emotional climax around. As such, a slightly more traditional finale may be in order. Barry€™s final battle with Reverse-Flash was fine, if unspectacular, and the fact that he had to call in help, though practical, made it feel like less of an accomplishment. With the emotional stakes a little lower in this case, the finale should be set around a budget-busting, all-out speed brawl between the hero and villain. The Flash has always done cool set pieces but they could really make the finale one to remember with a single great fight scene.
