During last night's episode of The Flash, Zoom killed Danielle Panabaker's character.  Now before you freak out, he killed Panabaker's Earth-2 doppelganger, Killer Frost.  It was somewhat of a surprise that Zoom even kept her alive, considering his low-tolerance for failure.  

However, with Caitlin Snow now his prisoner, Zoom had no additional sentimental reasons to keep Snow alive.  Speaking on that development, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg stated, "We loved what Danielle did with her, so when we were designing this episode and we had Zoom kidnap Caitlin, it just seemed like a fun thing to do to be able to have the two of them together and to have Caitlin actually experience time with her. It gave us an opportunity to sort of deepen both characters. But ultimately, she had to go. [Laughs] No, I mean, like even [Frost] said, the only reason [Zoom] kept her alive, the only reason he had to keep her alive was she was a living remembrance of him caring about Caitlin."







Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) arrives back on Earth-1 intent on taking over Central City. Barry (Grant Gustin) and Wells (Tom Cavanagh) come up with a plan to stop Zoom once and for all but it’s extremely dangerous. Unsure if he should take the risk, Barry reaches out to both fathers for advice. Henry (guest star John Wesley Shipps) is adamantly opposed to Barry risking his life again but Joe (Jesse L. Martin) thinks he can handle it which puts the two men at odds with each other. Meanwhile, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) is shocked when he vibes the Earth-2 villain Rupture, who happens to be his brother Dante’s (guest star Nicholas Gonzalez) doppelganger. Rupture came to this Earth seeking justice for Reverb’s death. Iris (Candice Patton) decides she’s finally ready to open up to Barry about her feelings for him. Armen V. Kevorkian directed the episode written by Kai Yu Wu & Lauren Certo.

@Doomsday8888 - That was lost in Narrative. It was supposed to be to steal speed from every Flash from multiple Earths. However some time ago he stopped that I guess.

@BlackStar25 - Man why are every villains motives so generic? Steal speed from a speedster, destroy the world, destroy a city. CW needs to think outside of the box

@Thecowboy - Destroy the hero destroy the city destroy/rule the world...pretty much every villain can be put in one of those generic categories. Like even the most profound villains fall into one of those

Well, I can forgive this since Killer Frost exists and Caitlin was never going to turn bad obviously. Still not forgiving Arrow for Laurel, though.

I agree. I still don't understand Zoom's motives. Obviously we are supposed to get that he is deranged and crazy. So that makes him a killer. But what his goal is makes no sense. Steal speed? Get faster? So he is the fastest? Why? It sounds like a plot from a kids cartoon. Like Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Captain Hook wants all treasure? Why? No reason. That is his entire motivation.

@tugboy - I could bee wrong but I think he wanted the speed to stop dying. Now that he has the speed and is cured he doesn't care about speed stealing anymore.

@huckfinnisher - Yes, that sounds like it might be right.
So what is his motivation now? Destroying/conquering other earths for what?

@huckfinnisher - Also, I still wonder what the story is about the "darkness" that takes over Zoom (when his eyes go black). What is that supposed to be?

@tugboy - For real, I have no idea about the darkness except maybe a possible hint toward the black flash which is literally just the entity death but for speedsters. Possibly in the show Zolomon will become this entity or maybe when he was near death he saw it which somehow caused this darkness. I dunno your guess is as good as mine on that one. As for the motivation, yeah now that the speed thing is done the character has no compelling motivation, apparently he just likes to be an a-hole and destroy worlds. Would have been cooler if he had just been happy to have Caitlin.

This show is garbage just like Arrow. Cheesy dialogue, paper thin plots, terrible costume designs, do I really need to go on? It's crap.

@mattattack - it's going downhill fast. This season has been pretty lackluster.

Ratings still going strong for The Flash. I'll wait for a day when I'm too hungover to move to catch up on the past few months.
