Rupture
CCU 65 Season 2 Episode 20

Rupture was a pretty terrific episode, in our humble opinions. Here’s Joe to talk a little more about it:

What’s In A Name?

EP. 20: Rupture. Sure, we met a new bad guy. Sure, we got a better sense of what Zoom’s plans are. Sure, we got to see 3 fathers fighting over one son. And hey, maybe our titular hero got turned into radioactive debris. But none of those things were the singular point that kept coming up in the feedback.

“Garrick. That’s my mother’s maiden name.”

And with that utterance, Flash fandom across the country…nay, across the planet!…screamed w/ joy or shock or exasperation or…well, there was screaming.

Many feel certain this means that the infamous “Man in the Iron Mask” is in fact Jay Garrick AND that Jay Garrick is in fact an alternate-earth variant of Henry Allen himself! Which earth? How did this come to be? The truth will be revealed soon.

Since the announcement long ago that John Wesley Shipp was joining the cast of The Flash, I was hoping against hope that he’d be Jay Garrick. It just seems so right. He the right age, the right look, and he was truly the predecessor to our current flash! But when they announced that he’d be playing Barry’s dad, my hopes of him donning the winged helmet vanished. But now, the clever writers have re-ignited the flame of hope.

Oh sure. There’s still a chance the Man in the Iron Mask is in fact someone else entirely. Heck, he could take it off and reveal himself to be Bruce Wayne for all I know. But man oh man oh man am I hoping that we’ll finally see…
