Good idea not to put too much Atom Smasher in there since he mostly looked terrible.

I'm hoping they don't ice Killer Frost like all the other villains so far.

I know it's just a carry over from the comics, but Golden Glider is one of the worst name's I've ever heard. Plus it doesn't make sense within the context of the show.

I was hoping something would go wrong during the bomb surgery, like science gold got in her brain or something, that would give her powers more similar to the comics. It would have made a lot more sense for Cisco to build her hoover boots back in season one than that gold gun...

I ask because she was there when flashy lights happened, and Earth 1 Cisco *is* a meta, so it's not a huge leap that she might have latent abilities waiting for a trauma to kick it off. But on the whole, I tend to lean towards what you said.

That'd make sense. I can't really fault the logic either. They really can't do a Hunter Zoloman arc after the highs of the Reverse-Flash arc last season, and it gives the show just enough of a mystery to work for a season.

I'd like to tie that speculation to the idea that Black Zoom is an alt-universe Barry, prompting lots of cheap n' easy "WHAT WILL I BECOME" CW-style angst.

Alt-universe characters aren't what the Earth-1 character will become, but simply an alternative version of the character.

Yeah, if he needs to suck their power he'd need to do it himself.

Jay said something along the lines of "he was always one step ahead of me, like he knew what I was going to do next" which strongly implies Zoom is some sort of time traveler.

No genius I mean at least 3-5 episodes worth of Barry going around moping and talking to each of his Daddy figures in turn "OMG ALT-UNIVERSE ME WAS EVIL DOES THIS MEAN I'LL BE EVIL TOO :qq:" once he finds out Zoom is an evil version of him. It's a pretty standard angst-vehicle for superheroes.

It's a perfectly legitimate term used in hunting and trapping. Similar to the way all naval ships are said to be "female", all raccoons are said to be 7 years old, since it's the "lucky" number and raccoons are associated with luck. Shipping as a fad first started on tumblr in 2008, about 7 years ago.

Shipping been around alot longer than that. I remember hearing the term early in the days of the WB with Buffy and Smallville. So more like 18+years

From what a cursory google tells me, it's an antiquated expression that has largely fallen out of use because it can be misconstrued as a racial slur, it's likely to be highly offensive to a substantial number of people. That being said, I can't really speak, since I come from a country where our most popular brand of cheese is this:
