It's based on Hermes/Mercury's helmet from Greco-Roman mythology.  It's the same reason that Flash always had wings on his boots ... Hermes had winged sandals that allowed him to fly.

I know what its from, I just think its not aerodynamic. But I guess in comic book physics it doesn't matter.

I smiled when Jay said he was doing Hard (or Heavy) Water experiments. That's right from his origin story in Flash #1.

Also while I love the helmet, I don't get why he wears it, never did. Isn't that bad aerodynamics?

Well, in the show, it's his dad's. And if he can run close to the speed of light, maybe it doesn't matter.

Was it his dad's WWI helmet in the comics, too?

That would make sense.  I've always loved how he sometimes uses the helmet as a shield or weapon.

I don't know about the comics; probably not. Besides, it's War of the Americas :p

Ah, I thought I remembered that... Yep.

The helmet belonged to Jay's father, Joseph, who fought during World War I

The only thing I hate about this show is Captain Cold and Heat Wave. I've seen better acting from Power Ranger villains.

It's weird that they'd get the two brothers from Prison Break to play them and then not have a running joke where they keep breaking out of the super jail.

Liked tonight's episode, but a couple things struck me...


Spoiler for Hidden:
At first I thought I heard Jay wrong, but he's also only been the Flash for 2 years. If that's the case, why does he so much more experience with the Speed Force? Is he that much brighter than Barry?

And ...

Spoiler for Hidden:
Is Jay a physicist as well as a chemist? How else could he make that Speed Cannon?

I guess he can do both. I just wonder will he get his speed back on Earth 2. He did say something about Zoom stealing it from him though, so maybe not right away.

And I like how they keep hinting Wells-2 as a big bad villain. When he will probably be just the opposite.

Yeah, what was up with that?
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Ok so a guy can run at super speed, throw lightening by using said speed, a guy merges with another guy and shoots flames and flies, yet frozen lasers bother you?

There's always a line that can be crossed.  Freezing beams of light crossed it for me.  And I easily accept a lot of things that cause many people to question.  But that moment made me have a WTF double-take the likes of which I haven't had since Superman threw a cellophane S from his chest at someone and wrapped them up.

Believe it or not, my WTF moment this week was Cisco having to use the neato-heating Flash emblem to get Barry out of Captain Cold's ice block rather than Barry just vibrating his way out.

Wonder how cold light particles would have to get to freeze?

ANd... When the hell is Mirror Master going to show up?  ARGH!

Well they always make up some vaguely science-y sounding nonsense for the other stuff.

He didn't actually freeze the light, just the laser projectors.  You even hear him say they will thaw.  The ice just condensed along the path of the lasers because the air at those points was ionized due to the laser beams.

Except he didn't aim at the emitters, that'd have made too much sense. And the gun's never had an AoE effect before. So I'm still crying foul unless I see that they widened the cone in the patch notes.

I like how you say "widened the cone in the patch notes" as if the characters are in City of Heroes and there are devs to make such tweaks as part of "the code". :D

His gun hadn't shown the ability to fire bolts like the one he used for the final act, either. He's clearly learned some new stuff. No patch notes needed, he just took a while to level up to gain new powers.
