BreakAtmo posted:Awesome. Lots of lots of awesome. I do hope Lance is OK - I would expect that if he was going to die, they would have showed it (unless it's a contract thing). I'm disappointed too, because I was so fond of the character that I wanted some sort of redemption arc for him, to see him become an anti-hero of some sort, but I guess he was under the influence of the Mirakuru for years longer than anyone else and it's left him with permanent mental issues. Maybe therapy could help?

But Slade IS a villain, much like Deadshot. They're agentic assassins. I hopehopehope Slade gets his time in Season 3. God I hope he becomes something like the Kingpin and travels between both shows. I hope so bad.

AbsolutelySane posted:AoS is moving time slots to 9pm next year, so it'll be up against Supernatural, not The Flash. In all seriousness, though, the CW really doesn't have enough viewership to seriously impact the major networks. The Flash is going to be going up against NCIS and The Voice, which really doesn't bode well for the show since those two are ratings juggernauts. The show's saving grace will be that its on the CW and they're not quite as hung up on ratings as the majors and their viewers are loyal. They really should group Arrow and Flash together, rather than put Flash in one of the worst possible slots to launch a show. On the one hand, I'm glad not to have a third show on the same day to try and find time to watch, but on the other hand it would have been nice to have the two shows back to back for crossover shenanigans.

It establishes the foundation for a DCTV Universe. Looking forward to the backdoor Justin Hartley Aquaman pilot in S2 of Flash. Then the circle will have been closed.

Man, that Flash trailer owns, and I love how much fun Amell seemed to have with it. "You can save the city... in a flash." *Backflips off skyscraper* This is going to be an amazing year of tv.

I'll take your word for it, I don't remember that part - I was talking about ep 1 of season 2. I guess he used his bow twice in an episode to navigate around. I guess pilot means season 1. haha. My bad. I still the the preview back/sideflip off the top into swingmode is pretty loving funny and silly.

I really hope Season 3 begins with Ollie coming back from Central City and being like "Barry can run super fast now. Weird." I think it would be way awkward for the show to just ignore its spin-off completely just so it can keep grounded.

I hope we never actually see Barry during season 3, but there's a running joke all season long that Ollie constantly can't find something because Barry runs through his secret base whenever he's bored and moves/hides random stuff.

Alternatively, every time they think to call Barry for help - 'He can be here in a couple of hours!' - they turn on Channel 52 news to find Barry busy with some new supervillain - 'Nevermind that then.'

If he's running at 700 mph it would take about 2.5 hours from St. Louis to Seattle, closer to 3. Assuming he's following highways.

I have heard a lot of good about this show. I saw the stuff about the Flash show coming up. I decided to sit down and watch the first season since it is on Netflix. I am really enjoying the show so far. I am on the 14th episode of the first season already. My only issue is how much I want to punch my screen because of how much I can not stand any scene with Thea or Quentin. I am having trouble picking characters on any show I have ever watched that I hate this much. I cant tell if its the actors or just the writing but I want them both to die. Quickly.

Thea was pretty loving insufferable in season 1. Not so much in season 2, but mostly because she has some justification of being constantly whiny and angsty.

Rocksicles posted:It's you, both those actors/characters have been great, especially Lance. Lance starts out a bit rough, but yeah he becomes a fan favorite. Most of us bitched about Thea a bunch in s1 too, but they completely turned her around in the second season. Amell on his appearance in the Flash pilot: quote:In the Flash pilot, Barry comes to me. [It's a] little snippet in the Flash pilot where he and I share a scene together, it's in his pilot, but [filming] it felt like our show because he's coming to Starling City. That, to me, was one of the most rewarding things that I did as an actor because it was essentially the same crew that we used for our pilot, and it was two years later and it was the same director. It was like going back in time. [Flash and Arrow director] David Nutter asked me to be a part of the pilot and I will never say no to David Nutter.

Ok i admit, Thea was a bit teen angsty. But they nipped that poo poo in the bud toot sweet. I stand by Lance. He lost his daughter, his wife, his sobriety. Then has some hooded nutjob trying to do his job for him, while murkin crims left and right. Lance is sound.

The thing I never got about the Flash is how if he's running at like 5,000x speed, that just means when you see him run across the city in 30 seconds he just spent an hour or two (subjectively) running. That poo poo has to get to you eventually.

The Speed Force works like this: Think of a negative to being able to travel at super speed. Got one? Okay. Well... Nope, gently caress that poo poo, Speed Force.

Yeah every physics related question like relativity, infinite mass as you approach light speed, why doesn't he catch on fire from atmospheric friction, why doesn't he shatter his hand when he hits someone at super speed, etc is all explained by Speed Force.

Around episode 14-15 EVERYTHING gets fixed that needs to be. The Huntress stank is over. Thea mellows out. Barrowman starts chewing the scenery. Plus by then we've got Diggle's role as Oliver's personal 'Devil's Advocate' overthrowing the need for narration. Felicity stops popping up to steal scenes and joins the team. Walter isn't just decoration. Also, this Amell guy isn't completely wooden and we get the sense that he can act and is playing a repressed, conflicted guy instead of just having a limited range. Good times.
