Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • With his super speed, the Flash should have been able to cover every square centimeter of the bus station within seconds when he was searching for a bomb. Yet all he did was search a row of lockers. []
  • Shouldn't that dorky scientist have known that Pollux was faster than bullets, which was one of the reasons why he cloned the Flash in the first place? Actually displaying the gun to him with the intent to kill him was absolutely moronic! The fact is it was even stupider to create him in the first place since he had an adult body, immense power, and an infantile mentality---a very deadly combination! []
  • How is it that Barry's clone comes out of the cloning chamber clean-shaven and with the same length of hair the real Barry does. Since he was "grown" from basic DNA to an infant, then aged into an adult all within an hour, he should have come out with much longer hair and a very long beard since he never shaved during the accelearated aging process. There's also the issue of how the clone came out pretty healthy. Realistically, he shouldn't have even survived the procedure since it takes a lot of nourishment for a human to reach adulthood. For someone with the Flash's powers and immense need for nourishment to sustain them, it would have taken tons and tons of vitamins and other resources for the clone to even exist at all. []

  • Title: Twin Streaks
    The episode title is an homage to the cult classic TV series Twin Peaks which was just entering its second and final season when The Flash premiered. []
