The CW's Flash is a comic book TV show that loves its source material and isn't shy about it. Case in point, in tonight's episode, Barry will have his first ever conversation with the Speed Force. Comic book readers will know that this is a regular occurrence for The Flash as he often consults with the extra-dimensional energy source in times of dire peril. Will the Speed Force reveal the key to defeating Zoom? And what of Jessie Quick and Wally West, who were caught in the particle accelerator blast 2.0? Are they Speedsters as well? We should have our answers, tonight at 8/7c on The CW as the Kevin Smith directed episode premieres.
