The Flash Season 2: 15 WTF Moments From 'Flash Back'
Death stalks the Scarlet Speedster.
How do you up the ante of an already-fantastic season? Why, you bring in more time-travelling action and throw in the speedster equivalent of Death, that's how. And yet again, following a remarkable run of episodes, The Flash again delivered another massively fun and entertaining episode.
This time, with Barry Allen desperate to get faster in order to defeat the ominous threat of Zoom, the Scarlet Speedster decides that his best option is to go back in time and somehow get the help of Harrison Wells (aka Eobard Thawne, aka Reverse-Flash, aka the man who killed Barrys mother). Unfortunately for Barry, his plan doesnt quite go to plan and, as well as being rumbled by Wells, hes also haunted by a Time Wraith thats seemingly intent on killing him.
Seeing Barry back in a world that weve already seen play out in Season 1, complete with Pied Piper causing chaos in Central City, was great to see, particularly as certain things that hes now down back in time could well have some significant implications for the current-day Barry Allen and S.T.A.R. Labs crew.
With Flash Back, we were again given an episode of The CWs Sultan of Speed-centric show that was brimming with shocking, surprising and random WTF moments, and heres the very best of them.
15. Harrison Wells, Teacher
In an early WTF moment of Flash Back, we see Team Flashs genius plan revealed: go back in time to get the help of Harrison Wells.
Yep, as in that Harrison Wells. As in the man who took Barry Allen under his wing and helped him to get to grips with his powers and become faster all just so that he could better the Scarlet Speedster and use him to get himself home, with it being revealed that hed even gone as far as to go back in time to kill Barrys mother when the future Sultan of Speed was just a young pup.
But Barry decides that he must go back to a time before Wells dirty laundry was hung out to dry, taking on the role of his former self in order to get information from Wells that will help him go faster in the future as he looks to stop Zoom.
Thats a flawless plan, right? Right? Err, maybe not
