being the main one.
ANDREW KREISBERG:Whats interesting about it isthisThawne hasnt experienced last season yet, and Barry has.
There are some great surprises and some character interactions between this Thawne and all of our characters.

Again, they all have the benefit of having enjoyed last season and he hasnt.
[Laughs]
When Barry ran through the time stream last year, he saw himself in jail.
Will that be addressed this season?
Theres a very famous comic book, The Trial of The Flash, where Barry was arrested for murder.
That could definitely happen.
Right now, hes reeling a little bit.
Zoom is the splinter in his foot; its the thing thats out there and ruining everything for him.
What can you tease about the identity of Zoom and when we might learn more about him?
Weve never played this card down on a villain before, which is neat and interesting to us.
As the season progresses, more will be revealed.
Were really jazzed about the storytelling choices that weve made this season.
So far, the audience has gone with them, and we hope theyll continue to do so.
Is Zoom a familiar face we already know?
Like I said, wed like to keep the mystery alive.
Whats next for Ciscos (Carlos Valdes) journey as Vibe?
Hes going to have some interesting experiences on Earth-2.
Hes going to be starting to embrace his power a little bit more.
At the beginning of the season, he was quite terrified of what it meant.
But this time its really different.
Shes really come to care about Jay and hes slowly dying.
The thing that can save him happens to be her specialty, biochemistry.
Shes determined not to let what happened to Ronnie happen again.
Shes hell-bent [on figuring] out a way to save him.
We havent figured out all of that stuff yet.
Were still working out the back half of the season.
Will we see Barry learn any new speed tricks this season?
The Lightning Throw was his big new one for this year.
I think the Lightning Throw is going to get a couple more outings.
Or is the risk of losing his daughter just too great?
How that plays out is going to be part of the fun of the season.
I want to leave as much mystery to that as possible.
Essentially, at his heart, this is a decent man who has been put in an impossible situation.
Last season, he was an indecent man who had been put in an impossible situation.
Any word on apotential crossoverwithSupergirl?
