Ronnie and Stein turn into Firestorm and help Barry destroy the singularity, but at the cost of Ronnie's life. Six months later, Barry operates alone, using his speed to repair Central City while being embraced by the public as a hero; Cisco works in the police department alongside Joe, and Caitlin works at Mercury Labs. Barry evaluates a crime scene with a victim named Al Rothstein. At a ceremony, the Flash is attacked by Atom-Smasher, whose strength and size manipulation prove too much for Barry, but manages to force his mask off. Underneath the mask Atom-Smasher is revealed to look exactly like Rothstein. Barry is convinced by Joe and the others that he needs help in taking down certain metahumans and Rothstein is defeated by over absorbing radiation. As he dies, Rothstein tells Barry that he was sent to kill him by someone called "Zoom". Barry receives a flash memory from Harrison Wells' (Eobard Thawne) lawyer containing his confession to killing Nora. Henry is exonerated and released from prison, and leaves Central City so that Barry can focus on being the Flash. A man arrives at S.T.A.R. Labs and introducing himself as Jay Garrick, tells the team their world is in danger.

Jay explains to everyone that he is the Flash on a parallel Earth and that he was in a battle with a demonic speedster named Zoom when the singularity brought him to this Earth without his powers. Stein confirms the claim, describing their world as "Earth-1" and Jay's as "Earth-2". Zoom brings another metahuman from Earth-2 called Sand Demon, later identified as Eddie Slick, to kill the Flash. Cisco analyzes the "sand" left behind and has a vision of the previous fight, frightening him. After Slick kidnaps Officer Patty Spivot, Jay teaches Barry how to hurl lightning. Cisco uses his power to find Patty's location. Barry uses the lightning blast to turn Sand Demon's particles to glass, killing him. Patty reveals to Joe that Mark Mardon killed her father.

Meanwhile, Lisa Snart shows up asking for Flash's help in rescuing Snart, whom she believes was kidnapped. Barry tracks down Snart, who is revealed not to be kidnapped but is working with his father, Lewis. Lisa states that Snart would never work with Lewis willingly, because the latter was abusive toward her when she was a child. Eventually, the team determines that Lewis placed a bomb inside of Lisa and threatened to kill her if Snart did not help him with his theft. Barry infiltrates Lewis' crew with assistance from Snart. Cisco successfully removes the bomb from Lisa, so Snart uses his cold gun to kill his father in retaliation. Snart is incarcerated in Iron Heights and Lisa leaves.

Barry recognizes her as the Earth-2 version of Linda. Later, Light attempts to kill Linda and take over her identity, but accidentally kills Linda's boss and is stopped by Barry's team in the process. Harry reveals Cisco's powers to the team, which Cisco uses to locate Light. Barry defeats her with the help of Harry.

In the present day, Barry tests the tachyon accelerator, and is able to enhance his speed four times greater than normal. Barry decides to re-open a breach back to Earth-2, and he believes that Cisco's powers are the key to opening the portals. Meanwhile, Caitlin reveals that Jay's Earth-1 doppelgänger is Zolomon and Wells, shocked to hear this, reveals that Earth-2 Zolomon was a convicted serial killer. Zolomon was receiving electroconvulsive therapy during the explosion, and was one of the many affected. With this revelation, the team confirms that "Jay" is Hunter. Cisco opens a breach, and Zoom immediately appears, chasing Barry back to S.T.A.R. Labs. There, Barry uses images of Zolomon's parents as a distraction to trap him, but Hunter escapes, claiming to be "the darkness".

Martin return from the first season as Barry Allen / The Flash, Iris West, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon / Vibe and Joe West, respectively.[25] Tom Cavanagh, who portrayed Eobard Thawne impersonating Harrison Wells in season one, also returned as a regular, playing Wells' Earth-2 doppelgänger.[75] Rick Cosnett, a main cast member from season one, did not return as a regular because his character, Eddie Thawne, died in the season one finale.[76] He instead returned as a guest star in the season premiere "The Man Who Saved Central City" in a dream sequence,[28] and later in the episode "Flash Back", where Barry travels back to a time when Eddie was still alive.[40] In August 2015, Keiynan Lonsdale was cast as Wally West,[26] the unknown son of Joe, and Iris' brother.[77] Gustin, Patton, Panabaker, Valdes and Martin also portray the Earth-2 versions of their characters in the episode "Welcome to Earth-2",[30] while Cavanagh portrays Thawne impersonating the Earth-1 Wells in "The Man Who Saved Central City" and "Flash Back".[28][78]

Discussing the casting of Lonsdale, Kreisberg stated, "Just like when we met Grant [Gustin] for the first time, we instantly knew Keiynan embodied all the heart and courage of a hero. We are so excited to be bringing this much-beloved character onto the show."[26] It was always intended for Wally to be the son of Joe and brother of Iris, which differs from the character's comic history, as the producers disliked second seasons of television series that would introduce cousins of characters that were never previously mentioned, feeling it was "weird".[77] Lonsdale originally auditioned for Legends of Tomorrow to portray Jefferson "Jax" Jackson.[79]

In July 2015, it was announced that Teddy Sears would recur in the role of Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth-2.[80] However, later in the season it was revealed that his character was actually Hunter Zolomon / Zoom posing as Jay.[81] Ryan Handley portrayed Zoom in costume prior to this revelation, while Tony Todd voiced Zoom.[82][83]

Design edit

Maya Mani replaced Colleen Atwood as the costume designer for the second season and made slight changes to the Flash costume, such as changing the color of his chest emblem from red to white, being faithful to the Flash costume from the comics.[84][85] Gustin stated that, around the time of filming the season's ninth episode, "we stopped gluing the mask to my face and switched to a mask that just slipped on and off with a zipper".[86] While Zoom's costume in the comics is a verbatim replica of Eobard Thawne's yellow-and-red Reverse-Flash costume, the costume seen in the TV series is entirely in black.[87] Kreisberg compared Zoom's appearance to that of the Marvel Comics character Venom, saying, "The Zoom outfit is much more organic than the Reverse-Flash suit. In a way, it's hard to tell if it is a suit or alive... There's no skin showing, for all you know there's a robot underneath, or dark energy."[88]

Filming edit

Production on the season began on July 7, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia,[89] and concluded on April 18, 2016.[90]

Music edit

Composer Blake Neely returned as the primary composer for the second season.[91] The soundtrack for the second season was released digitally on July 22, 2016[92] and in CD format on July 26, 2016.[93] Neely also composed a theme when Gustin as Barry appeared on the eighteenth episode of Supergirl, "Worlds Finest".[94] The theme was titled "World's Finest" when it was released on the Supergirl: Season 1 soundtrack.[95]

All music composed by Blake Neely.[96]

Arrowverse tie-ins edit

In October 2015, Arrow showrunner Wendy Mericle revealed that the producers of the Arrowverse had begun having someone track all the characters and plots used by each series, in order to make sure everything lines up,[97] though Aaron Helbing noted in April 2016 that "sometimes the schedules don't line up exactly...and that stuff is out of our control", such as when Barry is shown using his abilities on Arrow that month, while not having them the same week on The Flash.[98]

The second season of The Flash began to explore the concept of the multiverse, by introducing Earth-2, which features doppelgängers of the inhabitants in the Arrowverse (or Earth-1).[99] In "Welcome to Earth-2" of The Flash, glimpses of the multiverse are seen, including an image of Supergirl star Melissa Benoist as Supergirl and an image of John Wesley Shipp as the Flash from the 1990 television series, implying that those two television series exist on alternate Earths to the Arrowverse.[100][101]

The second annual two-way crossover with Arrow aired on December 1 and 2, 2015, where the Flash and the Green Arrow team up to take on Vandal Savage, who is looking for Kendra Saunders and Carter Hall, the reincarnations of Hawkgirl and Hawkman.[102][103] Though Legends of Tomorrow did not have an episode as part of the 2015–16 crossover, the Arrow and The Flash episodes from this event did set up a number of characters who star and recur in that series.[104][105][103] Casper Crump, Falk Hentschel and Peter Francis James debut in the crossover, as Vandal Savage, Carter Hall / Hawkman, and Dr. Aldus Boardman, respectively.[49][51][106] Screen Rant's Alice Walker discussed how the annual Arrow/The Flash crossover suffered from also trying to set up Legends, which was "too much to ask from the already crowded storylines and ended up feeling like an exercise in synchronicity, with producers planting more seeds than they could reap. The crossover event was no longer a fun way to contrast the two shows; it now had to serve the much larger purpose of setting up an entirely new world."[107]

Crossover with Supergirl edit

In February 2016, it was announced that Gustin would appear on the eighteenth episode of Supergirl, with Berlanti and Kreisberg, also Supergirl executive producers, thanking "the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone's enthusiasm and support."[108] While no plot details on the episodes were released at the time, Ross A. Lincoln of Deadline Hollywood noted that "the in-universe reason" for the crossover was due to Barry's ability to travel to various dimensions, thus implying that Supergirl exists on an alternate Earth to the Arrowverse in a multiverse.[109] "Welcome to Earth-2" confirmed this, showing an image of Benoist as Supergirl during a sequence where characters travel through that multiverse.[100] The Earth that the series inhabits has been informally referred to as "Earth-CBS" by Marc Guggenheim, one of the creators of Arrow.[110]

In "Worlds Finest", which aired on CBS on March 28, 2016, Supergirl is established as being in an alternate universe where the Flash helps Kara fight the Silver Banshee and Livewire in exchange for her help in returning home.[111] The episode title was inspired by the World's Finest Comics series, in which Superman would team up with various other DC superheroes, including the Flash. The events of this episode take place between two moments in the eighteenth episode of The Flash season two, "Versus Zoom", which aired on April 19, 2016, in which Barry enters and exits a breach while wearing the tachyon device seen in this episode.[112][113][114] The crossover required "a lot more logistical trickery" than the usual Arrowverse crossovers due to Gustin filming The Flash in Vancouver alongside Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, while Supergirl is produced in Los Angeles.[115] The producers chose to use the Flash as the character to crossover, due to his ability to travel between various Earths, and because it was "a little more fun at first to bring the veteran from that show to the chemistry of a new show." Berlanti stated that "in a perfect world", the crossover would have featured both Gustin and Amell's Green Arrow, "but logistically that would have been a nightmare to try and do both shows. We had to facilitate one."[116] Gustin was optimistic that the crossover in 2016 would allow another crossover the following year with the rest of the Arrowverse shows.[117]

The crossover episode received excellent reviews. Cliff Wheatley of IGN gave the episode an 8.6/10, stating "After the grim 'n' gritty Batman v Superman, Supergirl's "Worlds Finest" offered a fun, upbeat palette cleanser and one of the series' strongest episodes to date. Instead of the usual "beatdown" introduction, Supergirl and the Flash went straight to being superfriends, which was refreshing. Not only did Barry Allen fit perfectly in Kara's world, but actors Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist had fantastic chemistry together onscreen. While the city's turnaround on Supergirl's Red K incident was a little sudden, overall, "Worlds Finest" was delightful."[118] Stacy Glanzman of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 5.0 out of 5 stars.[119]

Critical response edit

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 94% approval rating for the second season with an average rating of 7.84/10, based on 24 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "With distinctive visuals and a terrific cast, The Flash remains one of the strongest comic book shows on television."[151] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the season a score of 81 out of 100, based on 4 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[152]

Reviewing for Collider, Dave Trumbore gave the season premiere a rating of 4 stars out of 5, saying, "All in all, a very good way to start season two after the strong run of season one."[28] Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek! meanwhile rated the episode 3.5 stars out of 5, criticizing the episode's "unsettled" and "rushed" nature. He felt that the episode "seems so focused on getting this season off to a running start that it [...] doesn't give events time to breathe."[153] Erik Kain of Forbes noted a "very big piece" missing in the absence of Harrison Wells, but felt that the episode was "an excellent start to the sophomore season of the CW's best super hero show."[154] Although Henry Allen's abrupt exit was a common point of criticism amongst reviewers, Trumbore nevertheless felt that it was "a small price to pay for an otherwise cohesive, entertaining, and emotionally satisfying episode."[28][154][153]

The episode "Welcome to Earth-2" received a number of positive reviews. Erik Kain said that it was "The Flash at its best. An engaging, funny, scary episode that hits all the right notes from start to finish."[155] IGN's Jesse Schedeen rated it 9.7 out of 10, praising the concept of Earth-2, Barry's dramatic moments, the depiction of Deathstorm, Killer Frost, and Reverb, but criticized the need to kill off Reverb so soon. He concluded, "The Flash delivered one of its best episodes yet as Barry and friends took a hilarious but emotional trip to Earth-2."[156] Angelica Jade Bastién of Vulture said the episode "marries incredible action sequences, amazing direction by Millicent Shelton, some of the cast's best acting (particularly from Candice Patton and Grant Gustin), lots of heart, and just the right number of nods to the comics. It is undoubtedly the best episode of the season, and just may be the best episode of The Flash yet."[157] Dave Trumbore rated the episode 4 stars out of 5, saying, "This was an absolutely insane episode of The Flash, and that's saying something since this show is normally fast-paced and full of Easter eggs even on a relatively slow week."[158] Entertainment Weekly's Jonathon Dornbush praised the scene where Barry talks to his Earth-2 doppelgänger's mother over phone, saying Gustin "has proved mightily adept at tackling Barry's grief, hope, and the many other emotions swirling around in regard to his mother and her death."[159] Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club said, "Since its return from hiatus, The Flash has been sluggish and morose, and the Zoom arc has fizzled. 'Welcome to Earth-2' jump-starts both the storyline and the season as a whole [...and] is just about as good as The Flash gets."[160]

Reviewing the season finale, Allison Keene of Collider directed specific praise to Gustin's performance, saying "Sometimes a great TV performer can come out of an already fantastic episode, but occasionally an actor can rise above the material, proving that even though the writers have let them down, the actor is going to make the most of what they've been given. That's exactly where we find ourselves with The Flash's head-scratching finale, which capped off a largely enjoyable but ultimately uneven second season. What has never been in doubt, though, is star Grant Gustin's ability to convince viewers that this all makes sense in an emotional, earnest, and often light-hearted way."[161] In his review for Nerdist, Joseph McCabe concluded, "For all this season's faults, most of which came from repeating the major villain arc of season one, [...] there were moments in the last handful of episodes where Barry demonstrated more independent thought than the show often allows him. Coming up with his own ideas, for example, to defeat the villain of the week rather than relying on his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs. That's the Barry I want to see more of in season three.[162]

A number of critics felt that the season as a whole suffered from the standards set by its predecessor, calling it "uneven" and criticizing the handling of the season's main villain. Collider's Kayti Burt gave the season 3 stars out of 5, saying, "The Flash finished off an uneven season with an uneven finale that couldn't overcome the burden of an underdeveloped, illogical villain. With Zoom, The Flash fell victim to a common drama mistake of a contemporary TV era: it prioritized the plot twist over the well-developed character arc."[163] Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly gave the season a "B−" grade, calling it "certifiably slumptacular" and said that the "bold" introduction of the multiverse did not meet his expectations. Jensen praised Barry's onscreen rapport with Joe but felt it was underutilized due to the introduction of Joe's biological son Wally, and criticized Barry's romantic fixation for Iris. He also criticized Zoom, saying, "He began as an alluring mystery but lost zip over time" and once his identity was revealed, "became a weak embodiment of generic villainy".[164] Jesse Schedeen gave the entire season a rating of 8.6 out of 10, explaining, "This season met and occasionally even exceeded the heights of its predecessor. But it was also a more uneven and ultimately more flawed experience in the end."[165]

11 2015 The Flash was renewed for a second season 67 With the commencement of production on the season former Arrow and Ugly Betty writer Gabrielle Stanton was promoted to executive producer and showrunner after having served as consulting producer and writer on the first season s finale Fast Enough 68 However it was later reported that series co creator Andrew Kreisberg would be returning to sole showrunner duties at an unspecified time 69 70 That time was later proved to be at the start of 2016 Potential Energy when Stanton was no longer credited as being involved with the show 71 72 Aaron and Todd Helbing also served as the season s showrunners 73 74 Casting edit Main cast members Grant Gustin Candice Patton Danielle Panabaker Carlos Valdes and Jesse L Martin return from the first season as Barry Allen The Flash Iris West Caitlin Snow Cisco Ramon Vibe and Joe West respectively 25 Tom Cavanagh who portrayed Eobard Thawne impersonating Harrison Wells in season one also returned as a regular playing Wells Earth 2 doppelganger 75 Rick Cosnett a main cast member from season one did not return as a regular because his character Eddie Thawne died in the season one finale 76 He instead returned as a guest star in the season premiere The Man Who Saved Central City in a dream sequence 28 and later in the episode Flash Back where Barry travels back to a time when Eddie was still alive 40 In August 2015 Keiynan Lonsdale was cast as Wally West 26 the unknown son of Joe and Iris brother 77 Gustin Patton Panabaker Valdes and Martin also portray the Earth 2 versions of their characters in the episode Welcome to Earth 2 30 while Cavanagh portrays Thawne impersonating the Earth 1 Wells in The Man Who Saved Central City and Flash Back 28 78 Discussing the casting of Lonsdale Kreisberg stated Just like when we met Grant Gustin for the first time we instantly knew Keiynan embodied all the heart and courage of a hero We are so excited to be bringing this much beloved character onto the show 26 It was always intended for Wally to be the son of Joe and brother of Iris which differs from the character s comic history as the producers disliked second seasons of television series that would introduce cousins of characters that were never previously mentioned feeling it was weird 77 Lonsdale originally auditioned for Legends of Tomorrow to portray Jefferson Jax Jackson 79 In July 2015 it was announced that Teddy Sears would recur in the role of Jay Garrick the Flash of Earth 2 80 However later in the season it was revealed that his character was actually Hunter Zolomon Zoom posing as Jay 81 Ryan Handley portrayed Zoom in costume prior to this revelation while Tony Todd voiced Zoom 82 83 Design edit Maya Mani replaced Colleen Atwood as the costume designer for the second season and made slight changes to the Flash costume such as changing the color of his chest emblem from red to white being faithful to the Flash costume from the comics 84 85 Gustin stated that around the time of filming the season s ninth episode we stopped gluing the mask to my face and switched to a mask that just slipped on and off with a zipper 86 While Zoom s costume in the comics is a verbatim replica of Eobard Thawne s yellow and red Reverse Flash costume the costume seen in the TV series is entirely in black 87 Kreisberg compared Zoom s appearance to that of the Marvel Comics character Venom saying The Zoom outfit is much more organic than the Reverse Flash suit In a way it s hard to tell if it is a suit or alive There s no skin showing for all you know there s a robot underneath or dark energy 88 Filming edit Production on the season began on July 7 2015 in Vancouver British Columbia 89 and concluded on April 18 2016 90 Music edit Composer Blake Neely returned as the primary composer for the second season 91 The soundtrack for the second season was released digitally on July 22 2016 92 and in CD format on July 26 2016 93 Neely also composed a theme when Gustin as Barry appeared on the eighteenth episode of Supergirl Worlds Finest 94 The theme was titled World s Finest when it was released on the Supergirl Season 1 soundtrack 95 All music

ins edit In October 2015 Arrow showrunner Wendy Mericle revealed that the producers of the Arrowverse had begun having someone track all the characters and plots used by each series in order to make sure everything lines up 97 though Aaron Helbing noted in April 2016 that sometimes the schedules don t line up exactly and that stuff is out of our control such as when Barry is shown using his abilities on Arrow that month while not having them the same week on The Flash 98 The second season of The Flash began to explore the concept of the multiverse by introducing Earth 2 which features doppelgangers of the inhabitants in the Arrowverse or Earth 1 99 In Welcome to Earth 2 of The Flash glimpses of the multiverse are seen including an image of Supergirl star Melissa Benoist as Supergirl and an image of John Wesley Shipp as the Flash from the 1990 television series implying that those two television series exist on alternate Earths to the Arrowverse 100 101 The second annual two way crossover with Arrow aired on December 1 and 2 2015 where the Flash and the Green Arrow team up to take on Vandal Savage who is looking for Kendra Saunders and Carter Hall the reincarnations of Hawkgirl and Hawkman 102 103 Though Legends of Tomorrow did not have an episode as part of the 2015 16 crossover the Arrow and The Flash episodes from this event did set up a number of characters who star and recur in that series 104 105 103 Casper Crump Falk Hentschel and Peter Francis James debut in the crossover as Vandal Savage Carter Hall Hawkman and Dr Aldus Boardman respectively 49 51 106 Screen Rant s Alice Walker discussed how the annual Arrow The Flash crossover suffered from also trying to set up Legends which was too much to ask from the already crowded storylines and ended up feeling like an exercise in synchronicity with producers planting more seeds than they could reap The crossover event was no longer a fun way to contrast the two shows it now had to serve the much larger purpose of setting up an entirely new world 107 Crossover with Supergirl edit In February 2016 it was announced that Gustin would appear on the eighteenth episode of Supergirl with Berlanti and Kreisberg also Supergirl executive producers thanking the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone s enthusiasm and support 108 While no plot details on the episodes were released at the time Ross A Lincoln of Deadline Hollywood noted that the in universe reason for the crossover was due to Barry s ability to travel to various dimensions thus implying that Supergirl exists on an alternate Earth to the Arrowverse in a multiverse 109 Welcome to Earth 2 confirmed this showing an image of Benoist as Supergirl during a sequence where characters travel through that multiverse 100 The Earth that the series inhabits has been informally referred to as Earth CBS by Marc Guggenheim one of the creators of Arrow 110 In Worlds Finest which aired on CBS on March 28 2016 Supergirl is established as being in an alternate universe where the Flash helps Kara fight the Silver Banshee and Livewire in exchange for her help in returning home 111 The episode title was inspired by the World s Finest Comics series in which Superman would team up with various other DC superheroes including the Flash The events of this episode take place between two moments in the eighteenth episode of The Flash season two Versus Zoom which aired on April 19 2016 in which Barry enters and exits a breach while wearing the tachyon device seen in this episode 112 113 114 The crossover required a lot more logistical trickery than the usual Arrowverse crossovers due to Gustin filming The Flash in Vancouver alongside Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow while Supergirl is produced in Los Angeles 115 The producers chose to use the Flash as the character to crossover due to his ability to travel between various Earths and because it was a little more fun at first to bring the veteran from that show to the chemistry of a new show Berlanti stated that in a perfect world the crossover would have featured both Gustin and Amell s Green Arrow but logistically that would have been a nightmare to try and do both shows We had to facilitate one 116 Gustin was optimistic that the crossover in 2016 would allow another crossover the following year with the rest of the Arrowverse shows 117 The crossover episode received excellent reviews Cliff Wheatley of IGN gave the episode an 8 6 10 stating After the grim n gritty Batman v Superman Supergirl s Worlds Finest offered a fun upbeat palette cleanser and one of the series strongest episodes to date Instead of the usual beatdown introduction Supergirl and the Flash went straight to being superfriends which was refreshing Not only did Barry Allen fit perfectly in Kara s world but actors Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist had fantastic chemistry together onscreen While the city s turnaround on Supergirl s Red K incident was a little sudden overall Worlds Finest was delightful 118 Stacy Glanzman of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 5 0 out of 5 stars 119 Marketing

150 Critical response edit The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 94 approval rating for the second season with an average rating of 7 84 10 based on 24 reviews The website s consensus reads With distinctive visuals and a terrific cast The Flash remains one of the strongest comic book shows on television 151 Metacritic which uses a weighted average assigned the season a score of 81 out of 100 based on 4 reviews indicating universal acclaim 152 Reviewing for Collider Dave Trumbore gave the season premiere a rating of 4 stars out of 5 saying All in all a very good way to start season two after the strong run of season one 28 Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek meanwhile rated the episode 3 5 stars out of 5 criticizing the episode s unsettled and rushed nature He felt that the episode seems so focused on getting this season off to a running start that it doesn t give events time to breathe 153 Erik Kain of Forbes noted a very big piece missing in the absence of Harrison Wells but felt that the episode was an excellent start to the sophomore season of the CW s best super hero show 154 Although Henry Allen s abrupt exit was a common point of criticism amongst reviewers Trumbore nevertheless felt that it was a small price to pay for an otherwise cohesive entertaining and emotionally satisfying episode 28 154 153 The episode Welcome to Earth 2 received a number of positive reviews Erik Kain said that it was The Flash at its best An engaging funny scary episode that hits all the right notes from start to finish 155 IGN s Jesse Schedeen rated it 9 7 out of 10 praising the concept of Earth 2 Barry s dramatic moments the depiction of Deathstorm Killer Frost and Reverb but criticized the need to kill off Reverb so soon He concluded The Flash delivered one of its best episodes yet as Barry and friends took a hilarious but emotional trip to Earth 2 156 Angelica Jade Bastien of Vulture said the episode marries incredible action sequences amazing direction by Millicent Shelton some of the cast s best acting particularly from Candice Patton and Grant Gustin lots of heart and just the right number of nods to the comics It is undoubtedly the best episode of the season and just may be the best episode of The Flash yet 157 Dave Trumbore rated the episode 4 stars out of 5 saying This was an absolutely insane episode of The Flash and that s saying something since this show is normally fast paced and full of Easter eggs even on a relatively slow week 158 Entertainment Weekly s Jonathon Dornbush praised the scene where Barry talks to his Earth 2 doppelganger s mother over phone saying Gustin has proved mightily adept at tackling Barry s grief hope and the many other emotions swirling around in regard to his mother and her death 159 Scott Von Doviak of The A V Club said Since its return from hiatus The Flash has been sluggish and morose and the Zoom arc has fizzled Welcome to Earth 2 jump starts both the storyline and the season as a whole and is just about as good as The Flash gets 160 Reviewing the season finale Allison Keene of Collider directed specific praise to Gustin s performance saying Sometimes a great TV performer can come out of an already fantastic episode but occasionally an actor can rise above the material proving that even though the writers have let them down the actor is going to make the most of what they ve been given That s exactly where we find ourselves with The Flash s head scratching finale which capped off a largely enjoyable but ultimately uneven second season What has never been in doubt though is star Grant Gustin s ability to convince viewers that this all makes sense in an emotional earnest and often light hearted way 161 In his review for Nerdist Joseph McCabe concluded For all this season s faults most of which came from repeating the major villain arc of season one there were moments in the last handful of episodes where Barry demonstrated more independent thought than the show often allows him Coming up with his own ideas for example to defeat the villain of the week rather than relying on his friends at S T A R Labs That s the Barry I want to see more of in season three 162 A number of critics felt that the season as a whole suffered from the standards set by its predecessor calling it uneven and criticizing the handling of the season s main villain Collider s Kayti Burt gave the season 3 stars out of 5 saying The Flash finished off an uneven season with an uneven finale that couldn t overcome the burden of an underdeveloped illogical villain With Zoom The Flash fell victim to a common drama mistake of a contemporary TV era it prioritized the plot twist over the well developed character arc 163 Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly gave the season a B grade calling it certifiably slumptacular and said that the bold introduction of the multiverse did not meet his expectations Jensen praised Barry s onscreen rapport with Joe but felt it was underutilized due to the introduction of Joe s biological son Wally and criticized Barry s romantic fixation for Iris He also criticized Zoom saying He began as an alluring mystery but lost zip over time and once his identity was revealed became a weak embodiment of generic villainy 164 Jesse Schedeen gave the entire season a rating of 8 6 out of 10 explaining This season met and occasionally even exceeded the heights of its predecessor But it was also a more uneven and ultimately more flawed experience in the end 165 Accolades edit Main article List of awards and nominations received by The Flash The Flash
