Enter Zoom isn’t just the best episode of The Flash season 2.
It’s one of the best episodes in the show’s history.
This The Flash review contains spoilers.
Enter Zoom was no exception.
Its also the best episode ofThe Flashseason 2 so far.
Keep in mind, there hasnt been abadepisode of this season yet.
Well, until tonight, that is.
Enter Zoom did everything right.
How did that happen?
Maybe another five-star entry,Out of Time from season one.
Yes, spoiler alert for those who care, Im giving this episode a rare five star review.
Zoom is truly terrifying, by the way.
And we have never, ever, ever seen Barry get his scarlet ass handed to him like that.
Sure, weve seen heroes overcome seemingly insurmountable odds (remember Oliver Queens death around midseason last year?)
In fact, lets take a moment to appreciate Carlos Valdes this week.
I sometimes feelThe Flashfalls back to easily on the Cisco as audience POV character shorthand.
But, yknow what?
This was Grant Gustins week.
This was a different side of Barry.
I felt that had been glossed over a little too easily early on.
It paid off this week.
But his performance this week also drew on all that weight from the season one finale, too.
I like this Barry, though.
Hes driven and self-assured without being arrogant.
Every inch of this has been earned by the writing staff and Gustins performance.
And then just as were getting comfortable with it all, they absolutely destroy him.

attempt to do it.
Who The Hell is Harrison Wells?
Okay, so we can rule out Harrison Wells as Zoom now, right?
Im even going to take this a step further.
That being said, he should keep being a dick.
You folks will be able to hear me cackling from wherever you are.
Flash Facts!
okay, so…Zoom.
This is pretty much not the Zoom from the comics.
Lucky (or unlucky) for you,I wrote a whole article just about Zoom right here.
Harrys daughter is his Jesse Quick eh?
Ill get into this more when the time is right, but this isnt the episode to do it.
I rather enjoyed the Robert Queen is the Hood switch on the Earth-Two version ofArrow, there.

5 out of 5
