The Flash SN 2 EP 10 – ‘Potential Energy’

So the second half of season 2 got under way in the UK last night and in the opening sequence we see Barry turn up to a date with Patty with a bunch of flowers on fire. (Has Barry told Patty about his secret identity) only for Zoom to turn up mid conversation and kidnap Patty cue a quick chase to the top of a building where Zoom politely drops Patty off we then see  Barry waking up from this nightmare.

In this episode we see Barry struggle to be open with Patty about what is going on with him and he is weighing up the cost of telling Patty that he is the flash. After a discussion between Iris and Patty, Isris convinces Barry that telling Patty who he really is may be the best course of action. Barry runs this past the team and all of them are behind Barry’s decision well all except for Dr Wells who advises Barry that if he does this he opens Patty up to becoming a target.

Wells’s point is proved that evening when the turtle makes an appearance to steal a valuable painting and Patty who can handle herself just fine pulls a gun on him. Barry disappears to try and gain the element of surprise on the turtle. As Barrys turns up time is slowed down and the Turtle attempts to drop a chandelier on Patty the flash makes it to her in time to push her out of the way but is in turn crushed under the chandelier instead and dragged away by Jay.

After an argument with Barry about leaving Patty at the party, Patty is then kidnapped by the Turtle and taken to an art storage warehouse owned by the turtles former wife who we find out wanted to leave him and he has her preserved behind some glass as a trophy and plans on doing the same to Patty. The flash manages to make it to Patty in time and break through the turtle’s time barrier in order to stop him and save Patty and trap the turtle in the prison at Star labs.

The episode is coming to a close and Barry goes to see Patty of the police station to see if she is alright cue Patty advising Barry that she is leaving to train as a forensic investigator and that there relationship is over. We also see what kind of lengths Harrison Wells from Earth 2 is willing to go to in order to get his daughter back by appearing to kill the turtle in his cell. This all comes down to the fact that Barry and the team were planning on using the turtle’s powers to slow Zoom down and as Wells appears to be helping Zoom in order to get his daughter back he cant allow that.

We do also see Wally West appear again in this episode and that the only reason he has come to Central city is to drag race and earn money in order to pay his mums hospital bills and not to have a relationship with Joe as he feels he abandoned him. They do make up at the end of the episode and sit down to enjoy some takeout food.

The biggest shock at the end of the episode is the return of the reverse flash but not as Dr Wells this incarnation of the reverse flash is Eobard Thawne and he asks Gideon where he is and the episode comes to a close.

Arrow SN 4 EP 10 – ‘Blood Debts’

So the second half of Arrow season 2 started back up again this week in the UK you can see my review of the episode below.

So at the end of the first part of season 2 we see a very angry Damian Darhk look on as Oliver unveils his plans to redevelop the waterfront in Star city and propose to Felcity. Oliver and Felicity leave in a limo only to be ambushed by the ghosts and Felicity ends up being shot under a barrage of bullets, Oliver is then seen stood at a grave with Barry Allen and declaring he has to kill Darhk.

This episode revolves around team Arrow and their pursuit of Damian Darhk the only link they have to Darhk is Andy, Diggles brother who is also one of the ghosts. We see Diggle attempt two types of tactics to get information from his brother the first is to beat it out of him the second is to try and ask him as his brother after advice from Lyla which works and Andy mentions that Darhk used to talk about the trees in Stonehaven.

We also find out that the grave at the mid season break does not belong to Felicity as she is in the hospital receiving surgery for the nerves damage she sustained from the gun shot wound. But all is not well as we find out that the damage caused is not curable and she will never walk again.

We also see the return of Machin AKA Anarchy the first clue we know he is back is when Oliver finds out where Darhk’s base of operation is through Captain Lance. Oliver arrives to find some dead ghosts and upon opening a chest he sees the Anarchy symbol. The team eventually track Machin down at his foster parents home and after a brief fight scene they capture him and take him for interrogation to find out what he knows about Darhk. After the police capture Machin and are transferring him Oliver intervenes and sets him free with one mission to kill Darhk not knowing that Oliver has fitted him with a tracker.

The team track Machin until his signal disappears, Laurel manages to triangulate his last know location and it’s Stonehaven the place Andy told Diggle that Darhk had mentioned before. The team arrives and Machin has Darhk’s wife and daughter tied up, they manage to rescue them before Machin disappears.

Oliver comes face to face with Darhk while chasing after Machin and the two start to fight after which Oliver advises Darhk that he saved his family and Darhk advises Oliver that he has brought himself a few weeks with his family before he comes after him and them.

We also see flashbacks to Oliver’s time on the island as he is brought back to the camp by Conklin to reveal that Oliver did not kill a Taiana as he told them. His punishment is lashes at the hands of Conklin until the Reiter notices some symbols on Oliver’s stomach glowing and sends him to the prison.

Thea also reveals to Laurel about her run in with Darhk and that she felt that her blood lust completely went when he touched her and that his magic did not affect her.

We end the episode back at the cemetery 4 months have passed since the encounter with Darhk and Oliver is getting into a town car and Felicity is in there waiting so we know this much it isn’t her grave as some may have thought. But she is looking very upset and says to Oliver “You know what you have to do right, you have to kill the son of a bitch.

The wait to see whose grave it actually is continues.

‘The Flash’ Will Crossover With CBS’s ‘Supergirl’

Even since The Flash and Arrow creator Greg Berlanti announced last year that Supergirl was to appear on CBS, many fans questioned whether any of the CW based characters would crossover onto the rival programming. A seemingly impossible feat given the rights to characters belonging to numerous people. Until now.

Fans wishes have come true as Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen will be speeding his way into National City in an upcoming episode of Supergirl scheduled to broadcast on Monday, March 28. The reveal came courtesy of executive producers Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg who expressed their excitement stating:

“We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making Supergirl — The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up! We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support.“

This will mark the first time that Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) will interact with a character from the growing CW DC universe, effectively integrating Supergirl into fold. This will leave fans wondering if this could become more than a one off with Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow crossing-over on numerous occasions. Could Supergirl turn up in Star City or Central City next?

I guess … skies the limit right.
