The Flash Season 2: 7 Ups And 5 Downs From 'Versus Zoom'

The Flash Versus Zoom
The CW

Of course, the apparent capture and defeat of Zoom was merely all just a cunning ruse from the über-rogue, and the villain would soon kidnap Wally West and hold him for a pricey ransom: The Flash’s speed.

Ever the do-good sort, Barry Allen agrees, Zoom heads to Earth-1’s S.T.A.R. Labs, Wally is returned, and then what we see if the whole of Team Flash stand around, chit-chat with Zoom, discuss his past, and then watch Barry drained of his powers before they're handed over to Zoom.

This all felt like BS, with anyone watching expecting Team Flash to maybe pull some sort of shenanigans. After all, there’s far more of them there than Zoom, but more importantly they have weapons that can apparently do damage to this big bad.

Instead, the only resistance we get is some dialogue from the ever-pi**ed Harrison Wells. Other than that, the team does absolutely nothing of note bar just hand over the goods to Zoom. Go team!
