A MOMENT IN TIME GETS BARRY ONE STEP CLOSER TO ZOOM; ANDY MIENTUS RETURNS AS HARTLEY RATHAWAY – After the shocking revelation that Zoom is Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), Barry (Grant Gustin) is more determined than ever to get back to Earth-2 to stop Zoom forever. Desperate to find a way to increase his speed, Barry decides to travel back in time and masquerade as his earlier self in order to get his arch-nemesis, Dr. Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh), to teach him how to run faster. However, things don’t go as planned and Barry is stunned to face familiar foe Hartley Rathaway (guest star Andy Mientus), as well as old friend Eddie Thawne (guest star Rick Cosnett). Iris (Candice Patton) makes peace with her past in order to embrace her future. Alice Troughton directed the episode penned by Aaron Helbing and Todd Helbing (#217).

Last year, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter storm that struck forensic scientist Barry Allen — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive. But Barry wasn’t the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans — many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the help of the S.T.A.R Labs team, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry protects the people of Central City from these powerful new threats as The Flash. Following the defeat of Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash must quickly turn their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but can he actually save his city from impending doom?

I'm reserving my judgement till tomorrow night.

I have faith Batman can save the movie.

Schme83 - 3/23/2016, 7:18 AM

This synopsis sounds awesome!! Always a plus to see Reverse flash

Kman - 3/23/2016, 7:24 AM

How does this show and Supergirl have 98% ratings on RT?

This alone should alleviate some concern about the dreaded RT score and its credibility.

More Zoom please...

slickrickdesigns - 3/23/2016, 8:52 AM

Looking forward to the Supergirl cross over more than the haunting episode..

I was offended last night by Iris not dating a white guy.

^^^^^ I didn't say that! SuperCat hacked my account!!!

SteelGunZ - 3/23/2016, 9:48 AM

Is it just me or was last nights episode of the Flash just HORRIBLE!

This Damn episode was poorly written and made absolutely NO SENSE!

Luminus - 3/23/2016, 10:55 PM

@SteelGunZ - It's just you. Episode's last scene was perfect. Barry did exactly what I thought he should do.

AgentZero - 3/23/2016, 11:34 PM

@SteelGunZ - Not just you. And just like last year the weakest episode of the Flash is right after the Daredevil season. Guessing Netflix is upping our standard each time

Jason Mewes is apparently guest starring on Kevin Smith's episode of the Flash. This is going to be great!
