Zoom's speech text went from red, to light blue, to white throughout this.
I'm not sure what I can believe anymore.

u/OnBenchNow Apr 22 '16
It's red for normal speak, white for show quotes, and light blue for when he's using his spooky scary Zoom voice.

u/In_My_Own_Image Black Flash Apr 22 '16
That makes sense, as this would be the first synopsis not just featuring spooky Zoom voice.
But I'm still scared of/threatened by change. So I'm keeping my eye on you.

And making a meta reference to his crossover with yet another show while doing it.

It, like, sounded like what would happen if you translated "Hunter Zolomon" to Japanese and back like five times on Google Translate.

Hunter Zolomon in newspaper = Sirius Black.
That's why no one recognized him as Jay Garrick. Everyone thought Gary Oldman did it.

Despite the popular opinion I liked Season 3, even though I had to skip a lot of Felicity scenes to keep sane. Ra's was a pretty cool villain, although they could've got more out of him.
Season 4 has been underwhelming so far though.

As much as I love Danielle, she makes weird funny faces like every scene.

Sooooo gooood!!! That Iris scene with the pause was amazing!!! Great narrative Love how short u kept it too. Also love how u pointed out the dumb decisions throughout, and how like how Barry keeps trying to tell em about supergirl and the speed trap. props to plot powers!

No, he did not. Not once. That was sarcasm on the part of everyone watching wondering they glossed right over that.

I feel stupid since I just realized because of this that the beginning of this episode is the moment that the flash actually travels to supergirl's earth.

u/Future_Vantas Flash Fact Apr 22 '16
It was very downplayed, probably due to how rushed the crossover was arranged. Hell, OnBenchNow had a better connection to the crossover thanks to his rude joke. If you did not watch that episode of Supergirl or pay attention to the media blitz that accompanied it then yeah it was easy to miss.

I was really, really disappointed he never told them about the other universe he visited.

The silver lining is that it's going to be that much more awkward when he eventually does tell them.

Are the glasses really a deus ex machina though? I mean we've known that Cisco/Harry had them, and it didn't seem like prior to this Cisco actually needed them for anything.

Yea, they didn't just show up out of the blue because "reasons" though. Cisco was going to use then at some point regardless, else why bring them back at all. It's a very loose deus ex machina at best.

You really put into perspective how poor the writing was in this episode.
"here you can have my only leverage". That was a very very very dump part of the episode. I mean Barry is faster now. Knock Hunter the fuck out!!!!

I was really confused as well as to how he got back to earth 2. Or does zoom have another lair on earth 1? Doesnt explain iron mask guy being there too though.
Why was he waiting for cisco if he can travel across dimensions? Did the portal remain open?

Not disparaging your work /u/OnBenchNow I think its hilarious and I'm not accusing you of stealing my joke, I'm criticizing the subreddit for inconsistent and unfair moderation policy.

if that's sarcasm, I don't read anything on any of the subs about the episodes until I have done the synopsis, so if I've copied a joke, I apologize!

u/gazeintotheiris Apr 22 '16
I don't think you copied the joke, I am mad that the sub removed mine because it was getting lots of reports and lets this one stay.
Great work as always though, the Caitlyn Iris scene was perfect.
