As the final showdown with Zoom progressed, I kept waiting for Team Flash to do something. Anything. They must've had a plan, right, this team of superheroes and genius scientists?

That feeling only continued when they actually got Wally back BEFORE Barry had given Zoom his speed. Yes, this made sense, now they could use their combined might to bring him down. They've got weapons, Barry's got the Tachyons, surely they've got this wrapped up?

Oh, ok, Barry's running, and draining himself of his speed. This is a weird plan. But it's still some sort of fake-out... Nope. Instead, they just went ahead and gave Zoom Barry's speed. With time to plan, and even more time to stand and watch it happen without any real threat from Zoom - Barry was faster than him in this episode - couldn't they have done something to prevent this from happening?
