what was the point of the prisoner tapping? is that from the comics? dunno why the girl (or barry, for that matter) didn't ask yes/no questions.

and for that matter, why did jay need to take the unstable meds to fight the earthquake guy? is he invincible or something? dunno why the cops didn't just shoot him with a tranq

As for the prisoner, guessing it would be too obvious who it was if he talked so using that as a crutch to keep the mystery up.

Jay doesn't really have any of his powers, so the 'meds' was the Velocity which temporarily granted him them for a short period.

oh, i assumed the prisoner can't talk. i was wondering why the girl didn't ask him yes/no questions. "tap once if you understand me. tap once if you're trying to help." and communicate from there. looks like she didn't ask him a single question, and barry didn't either. but clearly he can hear them through the glass. it seemed far more obvious than "lets see if we can figure out a pattern to his taps". i wondered if they just copied the scene from the comics or if it's poor writing.

i know jay doesn't have powers, but i was wondering why he's the only one who can fight. did the police and everyone with a gun get killed? police can't easily fight some metas (the poisonous gas guy, for example), but this guy didnt look like much. all he could do was create mini-quakes. he'd probably fall from tear gas or a taser or whatever. im guessing the writers are just trying to create drama?

That's true, not sure if he can actually talk or not. Probably find out a lot more next week.

Yeah definitely for the drama/suspense. Geomancer seemed like a real pushover, and moreso just there for Jay to show off what he can do really.

Once he had their attention he could also just have traced the letters rather than tap. Woulda been way faster to figure out.
