At first I wasn't too thrill with adding Jefferson Jackson to the Firestorm matrix.
Then Gerry Conway(Co-Creator of Firestorm) retweeted out that Jackson was one of Ronnie's classmates in the comics.
So that made his addition a little more acceptable to me.

The villain Henry Hewiit 1st appeared (I Believe) in FURY of FIRESTORM #15.
Toramak created by Conway and Pat Broderick.
At least they didn't kill this villain off.

The finale minute was pretty wild. Love King Shark. Looked awesome.

Oh, so you'll listen to Gerry Conway but not me!?

An interview with Flash's showrunner that confirms some theories and hints from this episode.

If that were the case they could have recast Jason Rusch. It's not like that would have been the first time that happened...

I guess I should have said they didn't want that actor/character. Jason Rusch (on the TV series) was a peer of Martin Stein. Maybe they decided they could get a better dynamic on LoT if Firestorm is a merger of a scientist and a jock rather than two scientists (in that sense, the Stein/Jax Firestorm is closer to the comics than any other version we've seen). And from the prodcuers' perspective, "Jason Rusch" is a nice nod to the fans, but it's probably a lot easier to create a new character with a new name than to try to rejigger Rusch in an attempt to keep the fan nod.

And as long as we're talking fan service, where's Mikhail Arkadin?

A Gorilla Grodd/King Shark team-up Vs. The Flash would make an awesome episode.

Nah. Just bring on Gorilla Grodd, Ultra-Humanite and Mallah vs Detective Chimp and The Flash.

Team Flash must not have their hands full with Earth-1 metahumans, Earth-2 metahumans, Zoom and regular criminals because they are now creating their own villains. How about a psych eval first Dr. Snow.

Good thing King Shark looked great for that second or two because the effects for Hewiit were terrible.

Otherwise good episode destroyed yet again by everything Iris (and now equally the irritating actress playing her mom). Just kill her or recast her with an Earth 2 version. Please.

Love the addition of Jax. Too bad we know he is headed elsewhere.
