Watched this week's Flash and last week's Arrow tonight. I am completely dumb-founded by Thea telling Ollie that lying about William to Felicity was a good thing. As others have said, she's always been in the secrets=bad camp. It seemed horribly out-of-character. And also, wrong.
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.
So, I am dumbfounded by the Zoom reveal.
Yeah, I have no idea WTF is going on, especially since last week hinted that the masked prisoner might be the real Jay (or another Jay.)
OMG you guys, the X-Files finale made me so angry,
OMG I haven't caught up yet, is this going to piss me off like the last season of the original XF did? This is a tradition they didn't need to embrace!

I think he was trying to communicate that Zoom was Jay.
Overall, I'm kinda let down by the reveal since I'm not super keen on the actor who plays Jay and not sure if he has the range to pull it off.
On the other hand, King Shark made me laugh like a hyena whenever he appeared, so thumbs up on that front. That slo-mo shark chase in the water!

Yes.

I hate it because it seemed like an obvious choice. I wanted a more painful reveal like one of Barry's Earth 2 parents.

I was watching with a couple of friends, and one commented that the WTF Chris Carter felt very nostalgic. If the finale doesn't leave you wanting to throw a shoe at the television, was it really the X-Files?
Well, that's true. I'll have a nice soft shoe ready to throw.
I think he was trying to communicate that Zoom was Jay.
Seems odd that he would start with "Jay" instead of "Zoom" in that instance.
I know that one of Flash's rivals from the comics was Hunter Zolomon Zoom. So my best guess is that Zoom is the Hunter Zolomon of Earth 2 (Jay showed Caitlin the Earth 1 version) and there's a whole twins separated at birth thing going on. Either that, or Zoom is from another Earth than 1 or 2.
there's a whole twins separated at birth thing going on.
I like that idea!
