4/5

All in all, "Trajectory" provides a slight but fun storyline that further underscores why Barry is such an amazing hero for Central City.

The Flash returns after its cliffhanger reveal that the man under the Zoom mask bore a familiar face to have Barry face off with yet another villainous speedster.

The Flash deserves better than to be saddled with a recycled season-long storyline this early in its run. And we deserve better than to be forced to think it might do that. Red herrings have their place, but don't try faking us out with false lameness.

8.4/10

The Flash didn't miss a beat as it returned after a month-long absence. This show managed to introduce a compelling new speedster villain while simultaneously playing up the mystery of Zoom even further.

As far as departures from the real stories, conflicts, and significant plots go, "Trajectory" is probably the best that can be hoped for.
