Well, that's more like it! After last week's deviation from the main plot, instead focusing on Professor Stein and Firestorm to a variable degree of success, The Flash gets back on track this week with The Darkness and The Light. After the Harrison Wells cliffhanger, it got straight back into it this time around, with 'Harry' and Barry having to work together, with a slight setback in the form of Joe West trying to shoot the not-so-good doctor. The STAR Labs team dealt with the return of Wells pretty, um, well actually, accepting it even if they weren't exactly happy with the situation. Having him back for pretty much the full episode really me realise just how much Tom Cavanagh has been missed on the show, and this iteration of his character is hugely enjoyable already (even if he is a total d**k). There was another metahuman, in the form of Doctor Light, some extra powers for Barry, the big reveal of Cisco's, and a good look at Zoom. It managed to show us plenty while actually giving little away, still in the process of setting things up for the weeks ahead, when hopefully we might actually get some answers to a few of these questions.
13. What Are The Other Differences Between Earths (And Could We See Aquaman)?
So, coffee is the one thing that's constant in the multiverse (and presumably each one has a Starbucks on every corner). Caitlin and Jay run through some of the other differences between Earth One and Earth Two, but stop when it turns out that Atlantis is actually a real place in the other world, and is above water. That's a pretty major difference, when the thinking up until this point was that the Earths were largely similar. What else is different on Earth Two, and can we get to spend some serious time there soon (please)? As for Atlantis, Jay mentions that he has a friend who lives there. This is a pretty big nod to Aquaman, the seafaring hero who'll soon be seen in Warner Bros. big screen DC Extended Universe. Was that really just an Easter egg, or a hint we could actually see the Marine Marvel turn up on The CW?
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
