The Flash: King Shark

Cisco and Caitlyn look up King Shark’s doppelganger wife, and Caitlin is cooolllldd… It led to a pretty cool climax, in which Barry runs on water and manages to create an electrified vortex that traps King Shark, allowing the A.R.G.US agents to take him back into custody. Wally is super jealous, since Joe and Iris are Barry cheerleaders.

The part-human and part-shark creature will be headed to the West family home and will attack Joe, Iris, Wally and Barry.

The widow eventually offers to give them a look into her research (she just so happens to be studying sharks) but only after Caitlin chases after the information with surprising force and a lack of her normally kind disposition.

Diggle getting to make a solo appearance with Lyla was a welcome addition and if I could pick any of the Arrow main three to make continual visits I’d be happy if it was him, his character poised to be the biggest juxtaposition1 to Barry’s character, someone who’s lived a life, seen a lot of loss and has learned how to deal with it, something Barry is still grappling with. At the moment, we’d say that the Jay – Zoom reveal puts Hunter Zolomon a.k.a. Earth-1’s version of Jay at the top of the list, mostly because we don’t know who else would precisely make sense given what we know at the moment. Caitlin points out that she was just starting to feel normal again when Jay was killed, so she feels like she needs to stay bottled up for the time being.

Later, Cisco tells Barry that Caitlin isn’t taking Jay’s death well, but Harry seems sure she’ll get past it. He also has a warning, insisting that Barry and Cisco not tell anyone on Earth-1 about their Earth-2 counterparts. Joe distracts him with gunfire while Barry, Iris, and Wally flee, and more importantly so Barry can switch into speedster mode. Joe’s gunshots have no effect, but Barry’s able to suit up and give the villain the bad news that he’s stuck on Earth-1.

The STAR Labs team may have escaped from Earth-2 and Zoom’s wrath but some questions are left hanging.

King Shark was a fairly lighthearted villain as far as these things go.

When Barry gets back to the house, Wally accuses him of hiding upstairs and being a coward. For one thing, he doesn’t know that Barry does the whole “save the world” thing.

Joe tries having the two work together on Wally’s proposal project for an engineering program he’s applying to. It’s just a joke, and she promises that Killer Frost will never exist on this Earth. It’s sweet. Barry assembles the crew and apologizes to them. I don’t care for Jay and there is no reason why he being Zoom should add any extra angst or conflict for the Flash team aside from Caitlin who apparently had become close enough to nearly love.

“First off, despite the final breach being closed, we have not seen the last of Earth-2”, Entertainment Weekly reported. Was Jay Garrick really as heroic as he appeared, or was he hiding facets of himself?

In reality, though, this revelation only serves to deepen the audience’s interest in the man in the iron mask from Zoom’s lair.

Furthermore, the end of the trailer had Cisco saying that they need a bigger Flash. He reluctantly agrees, but Jesse quickly holds her own in writing complex formulas with markers.
