The Flash Season 2 Episode 20 "Rupture" Review


Zoom arrives back on Earth-1 intent on taking over Central City. Barry and Wells come up with a plan to stop Zoom once and for all but it’s extremely dangerous. Unsure if he should take the risk, Barry reaches out to both fathers for advice. Henry is adamantly opposed to Barry risking his life again but Joe thinks he can handle it which puts the two men at odds with each other. Meanwhile, Cisco is shocked when he vibes the Earth-2 villain Rupture, who happens to be his brother Dante’s doppelganger. Rupture came to this Earth seeking justice for Reverb’s death. Iris decides she’s finally ready to open up to Barry about her feelings for him.

This was a very interesting episode that really kind of revolved around what the city is going to do when there under attack and there is no Flash. I did like that Cisco made this alternative to the Flash wich is just a hologram that uses some of the same sorts of effects. I really loved the idea of Barry bringing his father back into the story to sort of be a helper in making the decision to use dark matter to try and get his speed back. It did feel like a bit of a dump onto Barry with how much other stuff was being thrown on him that included him making the decision of whether or not he wants his powers back. Like Iris finally telling him that she does have feelings for him, which I don’t really know how I feel about that. I liked having Catlin there to try and stop Zoom from killing people, but it is also starting to become such a pattern and really kind of boring. I liked seeing Cisco’s brother again mostly because I kind of forgot about him, and I really liked seeing him change as a character through this episode, and seeing that he may not fully like his brother but he still cares about him. Then I really liked Dante’s doppelganger and his abilities I found to be really awesome, and I kind of hope that the other Dante might be able to pick up the scythe and have the powers for himself. Overall this was a really great episode and I can’t wait to see what the next episode will bring.
