The Flash

Recommended Posts

One of the people helping the Flash is potentially Killer Frost ?

Oh my stars and garters.

And have we already met the Reverse Flash ?

 

Potentially, though it's possible she won't become Killer Frost for a few seasons if ever.

Indeed, Cisco may never become Vibe.

Still nice to meet the characters I think.

 

And as for Reverse Flash

I'm pretty sure we saw RF killing Barry's mom as a yellow blur. And both Joe's partner/Iris' boyfriend and a certain wheelchair using professor are in the running. As there was more than one Reverse Flash, we may eventually have both!

My thanks to all of you for recommending this show.  I finally watched it last night - at least the first 3 episodes - and enjoyed it very much.  Made sure to recommend it to my daughter away at college. 

 

I found it amusing that one of Flash's "sidekicks" is played by the same actress that played the plant-controlling "sidekick" from Sky High.  Sorry, "Hero Support."  ;)

Ha! I missed that. Thanks for the spot

I wanted this show to be good in the worst way. And it is definitely a show in the worst way. "Plastique" was my last episode. I'm very sad.

 

Tastes vary, and we should all respect that. The individual demands for entertainment are hardly universal, and what thrills some may be off putting to others.

 

That's said- You're a big meanie head :P

 

 

;) I frickin laughed out lough at the "You didn't think this through, did you?" line regarding the boomerang

It has some great moments, and I'm really enjoying Tom Cavanaugh in it, but between explaining the references to my mother I'm just cringing from the dialogue. It's so infected with CW Angst™ that it hurts me. It's like my kryptonite. 

 

But I'm still watching Occult Dr. Who Constantine.

I've been rather enjoying the show, to the point that I half-forced my wife and oldest daughter to watch the first four episodes last night.  They both enjoyed it quite a bit.

Good, Good *Steeples fingers* Only by increasing the viewership can I continue to promote my agenda of superhero tv shows with costumes and superpowers as the norm. Mwhahaha!!

Took me a while to catch up with "Plastique," but I wanted to point out that at the end, Flash carries the giant bomb out of False Creek, out towards open water, then turns back past Stanley Park, under the Lions Gate Bridge, and into the harbour for the giant explosion. This TV show is dead to me! 

 

Other than that, we finally had some lived-in moments from Caitlin and Cisco, and it looks like we're getting Grod!

Vegas frequently gets chopped up like that. This sequence from "Con Air" would require the plane to teleport and change directions multiple times.

Yes, but Las Vegas is a nightmare landscape of nerve-shattering, blinding casino lights and giant handlebar mustaches, whereas Vancouver is the most beautiful place that has ever deigned to let human feet tread its soil. It's different.

Saw the latest Flash. Man, I love this show. "The Flash is born" had a few things I wanted to nitpick... one danger is they might be falling into the classic "Just go faster and you win" trap. That can lead to a power creep that could paint them into a corner if they don't put some checks on it. Frankly, I was expecting Barry to get a magnet trap for the villain.

 

That said

The scene of the flying supersonic punch was so awesome I forgive it and then some

 

 

Also, while it's perfectly understandable  to want to gloat, do NOT tell the villain who just threatened your love interest who the hell you are. Just don't.

 

One VERY disturbing thing

Ok. I'm as much for being able to hold the bad guys as the next person, but uh... due process? It does not reflect well on our hero to have him perfectly okay with unlawful detainment seemingly forever

 

 

Those concerns aside.... damn, this was good. Iris boxing? Meh. Iris hitting the alarm? Excellent! She did not huddle in a corner screaming, she out thought her captor.

 

And the scene at the end with Det. West was... surprisingly chilling.

And just like comics, there's going to be a crossover event "Arrow vs The Flash."  Pretty soon the entire DC pantheon is going to be doing crossovers and you have to buy all the issues just to keep up with how Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter defeating their Big Bad sets up a ripple effect with Green Lantern and Arrow having to outsmart a demonically possessed Lex Luther. Damn this gets expensive.

 

Oh wait. There are only two shows and I watch them both anyway. Still felt good to get that crossover rant out. Been sitting there for a couple of decades.

 

:D

My wife likes this show. It's the romance angle between Barry and Iris. Of course, she also said, "He should have gone for Felicity. Take the sure bet. I mean, who wears their little black dress to trivia night?"

 

So tonight we were talking about "The Flash is Born" after watching it. She's not much into sci-fi otherwise (this is 14 years in progress). With what I think is being set up to happen (though it could be a red herring, I admit), I was having to explain the trousers of time to her tonight. Yeah, my bad. Shouldn't have gone there.

 

I'm now hoping they don't go that way. She said she couldn't suspend her disbelief that much. And that would be tragic if she didn't want to watch the show with me.
