"Trajectory" introduces a much well awaited lady speedster, but at the same time depicts themes of shortcomings, the desire for power and reveals a shocking revelation fans have been speculating for a month.
The episode starts off with quite a comfy start with The Flash training and bonding with the team which is one of the best aspects of the episode and the show so far. The interaction between Wells and his daughter was also nice to see. The villain also does a great job in proving to be menacing even though there seemed to be more to her and there could've been more potential, I believe that her purpose was fulfilled as she was there to show the effects of Velocity 9. Each sub-plot were handled well enough to keep your attention like the Wells, Barry training and Iris subplots. The set pieces and the action were also well done and had a lot of polishing to it which gave it a rather epic and large scale effect. Now going in to the big reveal at the end, I think the episode did a very good job in using Trajectory as a filter for what Zoom may actually be. It raised a whole lot of questions and without spoiling, it finally gives an emotional drive to the story and the team in regards to fighting Zoom which was well done as well in season 1 wherein the team had a direct link to Wells which made the fight even more personal.
In the end, Trajectory is a great filler episode with great themes and action which will surely excite you for the coming episodes with more and more to look forward to.
Verdict: 8.5/10
