The finale - not terrible, but few surprises. Barry's actions, Zoom's character and plans and motivations, and the final scene, have all collectively dampened my love of this show.
I don't like the overuse of time remnants, for one. Where and how are Barry and Zoom finding these time remnants of themselves?? The final scene's once-again return to Barry's mother's death show one time remnant situation , however.
Contradictions. I see them in season 2, too much. Zoom's character changed between early season and after the Jay reveal. Barry's speedforce trip was seemingly nullified 2 eps later in this finale, with Henry's death.
Frankly, I'm tired of all the paradoxes, time travel, time remnants, and even Earth-2 multiverse trips. Can't we have The Flash with criminals, rogues' gallery, and relationships all occurring mostly in Central City? I thought season 3 would be a great opportunity to update us on Grodd (maybe it will!), but the writers are going back to the well AGAIN with the Flashpoint Paradox story involving his mother's death - they've already borrowed plenty of concepts from Flashpoint, and now we have to sit through a literal version of it? I hope not.
Jay Garrick being Shipp was kind of great, but I'd already expected that. What would have been even better would be if Henry hadn't been killed, and if they'd have freed Garrick earlier and he and Barry joined together to defeat Zoom.
Not to be debbie downer here, but the spark has been extinguished for me, for now.
