Low key, I think Barry might break the record for the highest number of Ls taken by a superhero in a single season. Since the start of Season 2 -
- Failed to stop the black hole (that he created) and Ronnie ended up having to sacrifice himself to stop it
- Finally gets his pops out of prison...only for his pops to leave town a couple hours later
- Takes one of the worst ass whoopings in TV history to Zoom, to the point of being temporarily crippled and even developing a mental block because he was so traumatized
- Gets (a little) of his speed stolen by Wells without even noticing it, and only found out because Wells felt guilty
- Broke up with his (very attractive) girlfriend for a BS reason
- Runs into Eobard Thawne again and actually beats him (!) only to be forced to let him go back to the future and even help him get back
- Goes to Earth-2 and ends up getting Earth-2 Joe (and some other people killed) and gets caught by Zoom and has to be rescued by his friends with no powers
- Finds out that his mentor is evil (again...) and was Zoom the entire time and has been using him for his own plans
- Attempts to go back in time to learn how to get faster and ends up accidentally bringing a Dementor to the past.
- Also gets caught by Thawne within about 10 minutes. Eventually Hartley has to save him from the Dementor.
- Finally gets fast enough to fight Zoom...only for Zoom to win anyway and force him to give up his speed. And then Zoom kidnaps Caitlin anyway.
- Apparently doesn't have a car and has to take the bus to work now that he doesn't have his powers
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the season and watching Barry struggle is part of why it's entertaining.
But still, dude really been putting the "L" in FLASH this season. Might have to start calling him Barry Ln.
Damn zoom ran through E1 caitlin
