The Flash – Season 2
Where Did We Leave Off: Barry decided to go back in time and save his mother from the Reverse Flash, but changed his mind after his future self waved him off. Back in the present, Caitlin married her fiancé Ronnie Raymond, Harrison Wells/Reverse Flash hinted that Cisco has powers, and Wells was defeated when Eddie killed himself thus nullifying the existence of his descendent. Mourning would wait because thanks to all the time travel tomfoolery, a black hole formed above Central City.
What’s New: Obviously, the black hole will be resolved somehow, and we’ll learn all about that in the season premiere. Also, Barry will be joined by a great many new Speedsters this season including Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), Jesse Quick (Violett Beane) and future Kid Flash Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale). Also, a new enemy will emerge, an evil Speedster called Professor Zoom who will be voiced by Tony Todd, and somehow Harrison Wells is still alive and, presumably, kicking.
What to Expect: The first season of The Flash was a tremendous mix of fun and action, and there’s no reason to expect that show won’t continue on even as the focus of much of the core creative team is now split three ways with Arrow, The Flash and the midseason addition of Legends of Tomorrow. Speaking of which, one of the great questions of season two will be the fate of Ronnie and Caitlin’s marriage, since Firestorm will be one of the Legends. Maybe it has something to do with Caitlin becoming the super-villain Killer Frost, which was hinted at during Barry’s trip through time….
Premiere Date: Tuesday October 6, 2015 at 8 pm on the CW.
