Presumably at the same time Barry overcomes the sound barrier hurdle he's supposed to have.

The only real downside to the Pilot was the score being utter garbage. Like even by Pilot Stock Music standards it was just bad. EDIT: And in non-  content, Fox just released a new round of character posters for Gotham and it looks like someone let the interns try Photoshop again.

And Elden Henson has been cast as Foggy in the Daredevil show which sites are trying to spin as a Hunger Games star joining the show when the more important part is whether he will teach Matt how to do the flying V.

404GoonNotFound posted:The only real downside to the Pilot was the score being utter garbage. Like even by Pilot Stock Music standards it was just bad. The main keynote for the Flash leitmotif (or whatever the hell we'll call it) worked fairly well for me, as a kind of 'get ready' cue, but beyond that the score was pretty unremarkable, yeah. I remember none of the music in scenes outside of the main bit. But yes, the super speed actually worked, so long as it was outside looking on, rather than from Barry's 'perspective' (aside of the brief bit in the Cafe). Personally, its my preferred kind of super speed, since you can see him moving in there, but still too fast to fully catch. Works more for me.

Season 1 finale will be breaking the light barrier. Season 2, will be a time travel arc where he has to help his past-self, but can't let his past self see or know ala Quantum Leap, nudging a badguy here, doing some small semi related thing there, all of which ties in with little things sprinkled all through season 1 episodes where it's like "BOY, IT SURE IS A LUCKY COINCIDENCE THAT *THING* JUST HAPPENED IN EXACTLY THIS WAY WINK WINK* culminating in a climactic Season 2 showdown with Professor Zoom, where Barry finds out he is pre-destined to kill his mother or else millions of people/the whole world will die because he never becomes the Flash. *cue a call back to the scene in the pilot where she says it's better to have a good heart than fast legs blah blah* Season 2 will end on a cliffhanger Season 3 will open up back in an altered present where Barry managed to save his mom, but she turns out to be a super hosed up villain from Flash's rogue's gallery...

I unironically expect this to come up at some point, he's fighting with Zoom in that room and young Barry shows up, so he has to save his young self (and let Zoom kill his mother) or he'll never exist as the Flash. Followed by angst/a breakdown when he realizes that he was never going to be able to save her.

It moved extremely fast for a pilot. It'll be ready to start doing cool Flash stuff in the second episode. Also glad that Joe West is already clued in, so we won't have obnoxious "gotta lie constantly to protect my identity" scenes, and West can cover for him and poo poo.

Some questions: 1: Papa West's new partner was something Thawn, right? Isn't Professor Zoom in the comics named Thawn? 2: What's the deal with the Star Labs dude? Is he based on a character or is he a wildcard? 3: I am gonna be really pissed if we just get that one -----Grodd----- teaser.

The one thing I am concerned about -- and this is seriously just the one thing because I liked everything else -- is the whole Iris relationship. It just seems ripe for a retread of the whole wangsty CWness that plagued Arrow's first season. Like, did they seriously put her with Barry's potential nemesis? Really? And the whole "promise you won't tell Iris your secret" thing with her dad? Holy poo poo, I know this is a comic book story and god bless it for that, but let's not go overboard with these overdone beats.

I think you're right, but what reason would Thawn/Zoom/Reverse Flash/whatever have for moving young Barry a couple blocks over and leaving him when his objective is (presumably) to kill him? Maybe we're remembering wrong, or they'll flip the colors in those shots before the real air date?

Did the Zoom kills his mom stuff originate in Rebirth or has that always been part of the lore? Either way they go way into it in that run.

Well with DC time travel rules, if Barry is part of whatever causes Reverse Flash to get his powers, changing the timeline by Barry dying as a child means poof to his powers. That scene already aired during Arrow.

Let's hope the take a page out of Arrows playbook and finish that storyline by episode three or so. Also, I am pretty sure we go with post-crisis Zoom here, simply because it maked for a better storyline than used 'is a dick' as motivation. e X fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jun 27, 2014 |
