Netflix...arrow has been O.K. Some filming "glitches" but I am at work....so who's gonna bitch?

What like "sarah" is a different girl in the first episode? But it's still entertaining.

 

[DeepPurple]

There is something about the Flash I can not get enough of. I love that show. I have binge watched the first two seasons of Arrow, and have been following along with this season. I thought this year started off in an odd direction. A death in the first episode, and has been rather boring. The last two episodes have picked up a lot, and I getting excited for this show again.

I've enjoyed it so far. The fact that the "Flash" from the 90's plays his dad, is way cool. It was pretty dark last night...

 

[DeepPurple]

I think The Flash is better than Arrow. They actually get villains with super powers, and the overall story for this season is pretty good. I still watch Arrow, but its gotten kinda dumb imo. Green Arrow can't take on Deathstroke straight up. The dude is like Captain America with weapons.

Except that Cap has the whole super serum thing. The comic Green Arrow was never really a fav, but I like the show.

 

[lupi]

very intriguing final scene for arrow this week.

 

[Kushina]

I'm starting to enjoy Luarel getting her ass kicked everytime.

 

[Kushina]

Why does this guy need 500 people to remind him why he's doing what he's doing every episode. And then how does he already forget by the end of the episode.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Um wouldn't taking over the League and changing their policy of killing be the best way?

Flash > Arrow so far this season.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Last night's Flash episode was awesome. Moving towards that confrontation finally.

Arrow tonight. Meh. Better than last few weeks though.

I thought The Flash's episode suffered from having too much packed into one episode. The biggest thing was the situation with Trickster felt a bit rushed at the end. There were scenes that were cool, but they didn't serve much of a purpose... like seeing

Flash vs. Reverse Flash in the past.

It just lead into the stuff with

Spoiler

Eobard Thawne and Harrison Wells.

I also feel like we're getting a bit of Raimi Spider-Man here where Barry keeps taking his mask off, and in this case, revealing himself to people.

 

[TeeJay1952]

At times I feel that Flash & Arrow have more folks on the inside than out. Revealing to each others support group and seldom does 2 episodes go by without reading someone new in. Cheap writing trick for Cheap thrill.

I gave up on these shows. Officially sucks now!

To be fair, we've had an inkling that Eddie is destined for something more based purely upon his surname (Thawne). So, him knowing who The Flash is probably has more to do with his future as a potential(?) baddy. I wonder if they'll

defeat Eobard and then Eddie will take up the mantle after realizing that Eobard is his descendent.

 

[lupi]

Just glad there are plenty of episodes left, Arrow getting rather tense and I'd hate for this to be at the the season finale already.

The Trickster storyline was important, because it forced Thawne/Wells to tip his hand about how much he knows about the speed force. I thought the episode was great, but kinda disappointed

Spoiler

Tom Cavanagh isnt actually Eobard, and he might be replaced with the actor who played the original version. Maybe time travel will save the original Wells.

Yeah, I thought this episode was just dumb. Actually, Quentin's turn the last couple of episodes seem kinda dumb to me. His daughter was no saint. She put herself on the boat, she joined the league, and she died because she ran around killing people and then tried to be a hero. Enough already with that crap. lol Whole first season was him hating on Oliver.

 

[lupi]

and judging from the trailer looks like they're going to do an each show needs to save the other angle.

My problem with that is that anyone could've been the cause of the situation that you mentioned. The Trickster didn't need to

Spoiler

be the one to put the bomb bracelet on Barry

. The Trickster was probably the most amusing villain so far, and he felt kind of wasted. He definitely had the most amusing lines. "That's unsanitary!" :biggrin:

I dont think we have seen any villains yet capable of constructing a Speed like bomb requiring Flash to actually phase. I guess Pied Piper and Clock King were smart enough, but this was really just an intro for The Trickster(s). I'm sure they'll bring both or one of them back from time to time, assuming Mark Hamill wants to continue doing it.

It also was a way to have Flash reveal his identity to his father, and have the original TV Flash and Trickster reunited. You also have the Reverse Flash reveal. In thinking about it the morning after, I think this was the best Flash episode yet. Only way it could have been better is if Captain Cold and Heat Wave were squeezed in too...and Team Arrow. Then Superman flies in, says 'This is how you do it kid", saves the day, then flys out. :biggrin:

Both Flash and Agents of Shield have been great this season.

 

[Aikouka]

I'm sure they'll bring both or one of them back from time to time, assuming Mark Hamill wants to continue doing it.

I read an interview with Mark Hamill before the episode aired, and he admitted that he not only watches the show, but apparently, his daughter is a huge fan. He also admitted that he was a little worried that he might not perform well and tarnish his daughter's favorite show. In other words, the guy sounds like a bit of a fan himself, so he'd probably be back in a heartbeat.

It also was a way to have Flash reveal his identity to his father, and have the original TV Flash and Trickster reunited.

Barry's dad pretty much admitted that he already knew during that prison hospital scene a few episodes ago. This just kind of made it official.

Eh, I still prefer the one from a couple weeks ago when he fought Weather Wizard.

I'm not a huge fan of the Rogues on the show. My biggest beef is with the way Captain Cold talks. He talks in this slow, pompous manner that seems like a cliched way to say, "Hey, I'm a methodical thinker!" I also wish Golden Glider had more than just a silly gold gun. With how they're simplifying some of the villains' powers, I'm wondering what will happen to people like Mirror Master.

Yeah, but he got to see him in action, and he got to see the hideout and meet his friends. Without a prison breakout, its hard for that to happen unless he is outright released from prison.

Eh, I still prefer the one from a couple weeks ago when he fought Weather Wizard.

I dunno, the end of the first part was great, but then the second part wasnt as good as I thought it was going to be. It was built up as Flash meets Ground Hog Day, but it was simpler. One thing I really liked in that episode is that they seem to be going all out with the fx. Kinda made Weather Wizards power seem out of scale, but whatever!

I like the Rogues, especially now they have this strange understanding. Apparently the Rogues are going to be regulars on the spinoff. Plus, I was a big fan of the first season of Prison Break, so I like seeing those guys together. I still hear Cold calling Heat Wave 'Lincoln'.

I agree about the gold gun, but really, some things in comics are kinda dumb. Originally she went around on ice skates and traveled around like Ice Man. lol But since they have the prototype weapons it could eventually lead into some accident which gives them the powers, which I think would be in line with current comic continuity.

 

[techs]

Indulge me if I am wrong as I am on a lot of pain killers.

Spoiler

Didn't Wells reveal himself to Cisco as being the reverse Flash and then kill him by by vibrating his arm and sticking it in Cisco's chest? I've watched that scene thru the rest of the remaining episodes twice and all I can see is perhaps Flash reset time a day? I get that idea from when he stops at the intersection a second time and sees the bystanders doing the same things they were doing the first time?

So, did Wells killing Cisco get retconned by Flash resetting history a day? Or am I missing something and there is another reason Cisco is alive?

 

[Aikouka]

So, did Wells killing Cisco get retconned by Flash resetting history a day?

Yes. Albeit, previews for future episodes show

Spoiler

that a scene very much like that will play out again where Wells reveals himself to Cisco. However, we don't know what the result will be that time.

 

[lupi]

Interesting set of episodes.

Now way the season ends without the everyone against Wells/RFlash event happens. Though if they decide to also resolve it this year, wonder what direction they will put the show into after that.

As far as arrow, I wouldhave sworn diggle would be the first permanent guy to go, with atom as the first recurring to get ditched. But even though the arrow "death" eleviates the police issue, sister taking a blade through the gut looks to make things interesting on the will he or won't he because head of the league drama.

Spoiler

Hasn't the Atom got his own spinoff coming next season? I am looking towards which regulars will go with the Atom to a new city to fight crime. It looks like Felicity will go. I thought Arsenal was also going to go but he may have driven off into the sunset, only to be seen as an occasional guest star. Thea's "death" would seem to make sense if Arsenal was leaving the show since he and Thea were a couple for most of show and without Arsenal they would have to invent a new storyline for her. Perhaps Arsenal will go with the Atom and teach him what the Arrow taught him
