Yeah, Zoom is freaking terrifying. I'm less judgey about Jay Garrick being afraid of him now.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
There's a lot of internet speculation that Zoom is Earth-2 Barry Allen, but his eyes look a LOT like Hank Allen. THAT would be a spectacular mindfuck.
I've actually heard more speculation that he's Earth 2 Henry (and the Earth 2 news report outing Robert Queen as The Hood was meant as a hint.)
Personally, I'm disappointed that Earth 2 Robert Queen as the Green Arrow wasn't running around in the Robin Hood hat and goatee (since we'll never see it on the show, other than maybe as a joke.)

It would nicely parallel the stuff with Earth-2 Wells and his daughter (Jesse Quick HOLY CRAP YES), and with Joe and his previously unknown son.
I want to know about all the other Earth counterparts. What the hell is Earth 1 Jay doing? Is he going to be introduced? Earth 2 Cisco, Barry, Joe?
Arrow - The last 2 episodes just seem really strong and I hope that continues. Still some complaints - no even mention of contacting Nyssa. Sara seemingly with no bloodlust when in the Nanda ep or the one before she could barely hold it at bay day to day even after a kill. No actual CEOing going on by Felicity.
Oh, and when they hatched the plan for Linda to dress up as Dr. Light, I said "I see they have Buffy in this universe."

I had the notion that maybe Zoom might be Barry!2, but Zoom's a lot bigger than Barry!1. When the original Flash series was on I remember thinking that John Wesley Shipp was a little too muscular to play Barry Allen, so maybe.
I'm starting to wonder if that was the reason behind his awkward exit. If Jay or Wells encountered Henry they'd kind of have to mention he was Zoom on their world. (Well, assuming they know who Zoom is. I think Wells does, at least.)
Henry is a great guess- I am leaning to thinking it is him, but could it also be Joe?
Arrow: I keep worrying (because I do watch TV, y'all) that they're going to do something annoying with Oliver/Felicity. But their relationship is so healthy and grown up. YAY.
And shout-out to that scene with Diggle and Oliver. That's how you BROTP!
