The Mid Season Finale For Flash And Arrow


Welcome back!  Did everyone have a good weekend?  Hope so!  Okay, enough of the pleasantries, let’s get to it!

Like I said last week, today I’m going to talk about the mid-season finales of the Flash and Arrow.  Let’s start with the first of the two that aired…the Flash!  And in case you weren’t warned at the end of last week’s episode, there will be spoilers, so be warned!

At the end of the mid-season finale of the Flash, there were a couple of questions answered, but more questions were raised.  First of all, a lot of people have been trying to figure out who exactly Dr. Harrison Wells is, and at the end of the episode, we learned that apparently Dr. Wells is the Reverse Flash.  This still doesn’t answer the question as to who Dr. Wells is!  Okay, so Dr. Wells is the Reverse Flash, but does he actually have the natural ability to super speed like Barry Allen has, or does he need the tachyons in order to power the suit?  If he does, then how was he able to change his voice like Barry does?  Is this through some futuristic gizmo?  And why was Eddie Thawne left alive?  In the DC universe, Eddie is ‘Professor Zoom,’ or better known as the ‘Reverse Flash.’  Does this mean that Dr. Wells is a future version of Eddie that has traveled back in time to change things?  If he’s not Eddie, then why didn’t he kill Iris like he threatened to?  If Dr. Wells isn’t Eddie, then who is he?  Like I said, a lot of questions were answered, but more have been raised…

Next, let’s tackled Arrow!  Oliver Queen is dead!  Yeah, okay, I don’t buy this one, either, but as far as we know, he died at the hands of Ra’s ah Ghul.  The first thing I had a problem with was during the fight, Oliver didn’t fight like the ‘Arrow,’ he fought like a clumsy oaf.  He looked nothing like the Starling City protector that we’ve been watching the last two and a half seasons.  That said, how are they going to bring back Oliver?  Because, let’s be honest, he’s coming back!  I think that they are going to be turning to the Lazarus Pit!  My guess is that Maseo Yamashiro is going to find his body, and drag him to the pit to be healed.  Why do I think that they are going to introduce the Pit in the series?  In the episode, Ra’s said that he hasn’t been challenged in 67 years…67 years?  The gut doesn’t look old enough to be out of his 50’s!  He also says that he’s killed thousands since his first kill at the age of eleven.  This one is harder to date, but dude…really? Thousands?  Need a lifetime or two to do that! 

Like I said, I think Maseo Yamashiro finds Oliver’s body, takes him to the pit and heals him/brings him back to life, because they were once friends.  Oliver is a little bit crazy when he comes too, and Ra’s takes him into the League of Assassins.  Why would he do this when he just killed him, you ask?  Nyssa didn’t believe Oliver when he told her he killed Sara, so why would Ra’s?  Ra’s takes advantage of Oliver in his messed-up state, and brings him into the league.  This probably means that Maseo will die, but what are you going to do, right?  I have know idea how this will play out afterwards.  Maybe a fight between him and Atom?  Maybe Deathstroke?  We know Slade is coming back this season, so maybe we’ll get to see a rematch?

These are all just guesses, so don’t take anything I say too seriously, but if you have any thoughts on the matter, you should let me know so I can share them.  Either way, we only have several more weeks to go until we start to find out.  I don’t know if I can contain myself until then…can you?
