^ I agree about the Barry/Iris stuff getting kind of annoying. But this show is a nice change of pace from the super serious over the top dramatic stuff Arrow can be sometimes and the crossover ep highlighted that difference. I think I prefer Arrow more because of the flashbacks but I really like both shows.

12/3/2014 8:31:05 AM

yeah...i definitely enjoy the tonal differences. And hopefully this break between Flash and Iris will allow Barry to mature on both sides of suit.

also..since no one reads #49 we are discussing this

"this episode kind of turned me off of Barry (and not just the possessed part). Overall he's almost too much like an angsty-teenager at this point and the over-pining for Iris is really annoying. also...glad we are finally going to see Firestorm (who is played by Arrow's IRL brother Robbie Amell). I suspected that with Iris pulling away they might turn to some Barry/Caitlin emotional angle but with Ronnie back in the picture any time we'll just have to see."

12/3/2014 8:34:50 AM

Guarantee that something is gonna start happening between Barry and Caitlin just in time for Ronnie to show up again and mess it all up.

12/3/2014 9:35:32 AM

Connor Hawke confirmed lol

They're cousins, not brothers

12/3/2014 6:55:04 PM

ah ok! thanks for the clarification.

12/3/2014 8:20:57 PM

So one thing I just realized about the last episode -- how did the Flash and Arrow catch Prism? Right after the team cured the Flash of his rage, the two were talking and like "Still good to go catch your metahuman?" then after the commercial break they just showed them throwing him into one of the cells at STAR labs. They didn't mention anything about how they found him or captured him without getting infected by his rage vision.

12/4/2014 10:46:06 AM

Yeah, I think the audience was just supposed to assume that he was really easy to catch as long as Barry wasnt an idiot and they didn't let him look at them.

Also, Ollie's baby momma could get it

12/4/2014 11:20:25 AM

yep... this take on it was pretty spot on and i agreed completely

Quote :

"In a way, my favorite part of "Flash vs. Arrow" is something we didn't see: Barry and Oliver teaming up to take out the Rainbow Raider, as we cut from the end of their fight to the colorfully-named Roy G. Bivolo(*) being thrown into a STAR Labs prison cell. Even with his creepier mind control powers for TV, the Raider has never been one of the more impressive members of Flash's Rogues Gallery(**), and his only purpose in this episode was to provide the thing we actually cared about, which was the title fight between our two heroes.

Wise cracking Flash (as seen on Part 2- Arrow) > Angsty love scorn Flash (Part 1)

12/5/2014 8:17:26 AM

So two reverse flashes? Wells is professor zoom since he's from the future, but he could also be hunter zolomon or an amalgamation of the two. Second Reverse flash Obviously isn't Eddie, although either wells or second is probably descended because of the thawne name and the fact that Eddie wasn't killed.

12/10/2014 11:27:55 PM

I was just thinking that at some point time travel is introduced. Either through a machine/wormhole/something or the Flash achieving some kind of speed high enough to travel through time through fake TV science.

12/11/2014 12:06:00 AM

yeah...i don't think there are 2 Reverse Flashes. I'm thinking this Wells using some form of time travel or alternate dimensions that we'll quickly learn about.

this show is firing on all cylinders.. i just hope they don't blow through seasons worth of story lines in the next 3 months. I do like seeing Dr. Wells coming closer and closer to getting exposed though.

1/28/2015 9:11:12 AM

I also liked how they showed Wells speeding without the suit and, at the end, introducing the concept of the Speed Force.

awesome...and click the link in the article for the Eddie Thawne stuff too.

1/28/2015 9:55:45 AM

This show is so awesome. it looks even better when compared to the shit I watch on Gotham the night before.

2/4/2015 8:31:00 AM

Agreed. I just watched both back to back last night and even though the Flash is more light hearted and not as serious, it is way more engrossing.

Side question: Who is Professor Stein? Hartley showed Cisco where his shadow was burned in and how he fused with Ronnie, but I don't recall the character of Stein being mentioned at all in the past. Maybe I'm just being forgetful.

2/5/2015 9:10:48 AM

Hasn't been shown yet but he was mentioned as the head of the firestorm project

2/5/2015 9:41:21 AM

we only saw a picture of Prof. Stein in the Firestorm file that Caitlin got her hands on. He'll be played by Victor Garber (Alias) but he hasn't made an appearance yet.

2/5/2015 9:41:40 AM

Boom. Time Travel.

Really good episode, especially the ending. Sucks that the next new episode isn't for a month.

2/18/2015 12:29:33 PM

Arg, I don't know why shows do that these days. They just randomly take a month off. Agreed though, good episode, this is prob my new favorite show.

2/18/2015 12:35:47 PM

its crazy how good/interesting the ending of every episode is

2/18/2015 4:50:42 PM

i'm glad the firestorm stuff is over for now

i assume they're going to try to spin that off too

2/19/2015 8:27:34 AM

holy shit...if all of this is happening on the back half of Season 1 it's going to be an insane rush of episodes.

3/17/2015 9:44:15 AM

almost posted this yesterday when I saw it. They aren't fucking around at all. My wife's response was "I hope Laurel doesn't screw this show up too"

3/17/2015 10:37:06 AM

HOLY SHIT

3/17/2015 9:02:04 PM

Wow.

3/17/2015 9:14:06 PM

I'm assuming his going back in time actually ends up preventing the Wells discovery and Sisko death. This just showed the lengths that Wells would go to accomplish his goals.

3/18/2015 12:13:31 AM

they can do whatever they want when they're just going to undo it in the next episode, calm down fellas

3/18/2015 8:21:37 AM

Still pretty impressive how they did everything. Also the Wells reveal finally

3/18/2015 9:09:29 AM

with all this time travel, i hope Booster Gold shows up at some point

3/18/2015 9:21:20 AM

yeah the ending makes me think they'll undo a lot of that. but very interesting that it happened at all. this show is good.

3/18/2015 10:16:19 PM

yep last night was crazy! Eobard Thawne!

3/19/2015 8:27:03 AM

Great episode, though I am getting tired of the Barry/Iris drama...which will likely perpetuate now that he gets to fix things.

3/19/2015 8:30:39 AM

Why was the girl with the gun that fired gold trying to steal money?

3/24/2015 9:01:47 PM

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Also, Sisko invented alchemy in like 30 minutes, why is he working at Star Labs instead of ruling the world?

3/24/2015 10:24:09 PM

I think the main reason they were trying to rob the casino was more weaken the crime family than it was to actually have the money. At the beginning the two brothers said they wanted control of the city.

And lol at Cisco's brother -- dude plays the piano and lives with his parents while Cisco is pretty much the smartest engineer to ever live (it took him less than a day to make a gun that creates gold from nothing) and the brother is still the favorite.

3/25/2015 8:27:38 AM

yeah...last night's episode was just ok. I'm all for Cisco being a genius engineer but ok let's just whip up a gold gun in someone's office in a few minutes.

also I know Captain Cold is one of the Flash's bigger arch enemies but from everything i've read he and heatwave are getting ready to jump ship to yet another spinoff. And honestly neither have done a whole lot to threaten Flash or Central City enough to make me consider them a real threat or a reason to follow them to another show.

3/25/2015 8:28:08 AM

yeah i was disappointed with the last episode after all the stuff that went down in the previous one. they undid everything. lame.

3/25/2015 8:34:07 AM

Mark Hamill is back as the Trickster and they are using a clip from the old show. Love it!

3/29/2015 11:39:29 AM

Back? When did he show up before?

3/30/2015 9:42:36 AM

^original flash



[Edited on March 30, 2015 at 9:46 AM. Reason : pic]

3/30/2015 9:43:47 AM

Oh lol okay I had no idea he was in the original TV show. That's great that he's reprising his role.

3/30/2015 9:52:14 AM

He's standing next to Barry's dad, who played flash in the original as well

3/30/2015 11:29:53 AM

Wow, so much happened in that episode! Also, "I am your father."

3/31/2015 9:38:56 PM

That episode was incredible. Mark Hamill did an excellent job although he sounded just like the Joker the whole time. The whole character of the Trickster seems kind of like a ripoff mixture of the Joker and the Riddler. And lol at the "I am your father part", I wonder how many times Mark Hamill has been acting in something and they try and make him say that. I wonder if there is any possibility that he really is the dude's father.
