NightAngle04 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks to Flashfan! I liked it, thought the ending was clever. But in the back of my mind I know this is the CW and I'm dreading that Barry can be part of 2 love triangles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightAngle04 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 One thing I thought was funny was the size of the nameplate on the cage. it was like a giant nameplate. They should have had arrows pointing to it and zoomed in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 It was a vanity license plate, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 It was actually Captain Cold that escaped. He used Grodd's car to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Robbie Amell has signed on to play Ronnie Raymond. Which means they're setting up Firestorm down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I liked the pilot quite a bit. They're certainly setting up a big world, and a nice Batman/Superman dynamic between Ollie and Barry. I mean. Barry Allen is pure Wally West here, but that's the only way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Honestly, this was so good, I might give Arrow another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Honestly, this was so good, I might give Arrow another shot. Arrow picked up pretty significantly in season two. The Barry two-parter is what brought me back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Amell seems like such a good dude that I want to like Arrow, but that first season was so, so rough. And given that it's the place most likely to have Vic Sage show up as a character, I feel like I should watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Season two was a lot less Dark Knight. Not entirely not-Dark Knight, but less. They realized there needed to be some fun involved. Also, Suicide Squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm still not completely sold on Arrow. It tries to take itself too seriously. I'm also over the flashbacks. At this point I don't care what happened on the island, or Hong Kong, or wherever he was. I want fun stuff happening now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah that's my only problem with the show. Too many damn flashbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 There's some clunkiness in the writing like all superhero adaptations, but the pilot is pretty good. I like that they're not going to play "when will they find out" with every cast member and that Thawne is already a giant asshole. I think Grant Gustin is going to be a lot of fun as Barry, he needs just a little more time in the role. The ending is probably the most nerd baiting thing I've ever seen.

Stavros Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 It really is a direct comics adaptation, there's none of the prequel nonsense here. That's why I have more expectations that Flash could succeed, it's more capable of delivering than Gotham might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and there's a real no-holds-barred attitude about it being a superhero show set in the DC universe. None of that "this is a lesser version of X character for our TV universe" idiocy. Arrow's been doing a similar thing with street-level DCU characters for a year or so, but now Flash is actually handling super-powered heroes. Looking at the list of upcoming characters in the show, it's just crazy. Firestorm?! FIRESTORM?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Episode 2 had more problems than the first one, but I still liked it. They hit some familiar beats, but it's the beginning of a superhero story so that didn't really bother me. I do think they should have started the episode with a flashback to Multiplex and his wife before the accident. That would have felt like actual effort was put into giving his character a touch of grey rather than bringing it up during the final fight. The ending did something I hate in superhero television where they kill off a character with a lot more to offer the show. Stagg trying to capture the Flash could have been a nice recurring element for the first season, not to mention the Metamorpho angle. I like the shady Professor X vibe Harrison Wells has, but him killing Stagg was a bit much. That said, I like that they hit the accelerated metabolism already and the realization of Multiplex was pretty good for a CW budget. Barry's confession in the space of a second was a nice character bit and I really like the relationship between Barry and Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 So far I haven't been super impressed but it's still a pretty good show. The final fight was pretty cool. I like all of the relationship dynamics. Yeah, not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 So then Eddie Thawne from the CCPD is his ancestor, not Reverse Flash himself. Nice theory; I like it.Unless maybe Thawne really is Reverse-Flash and Wells is a different time-traveler trying to protect Barry from Eddie. Like the Terminator 2 thing with the T-800 and the T-1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
