The CW is putting a lot of faith on Flash and they will be airing Barry's episodes a week before the series premiere and once again after the premiere.

That pilot is bananas, and I urge everyone that hasn't seen it to not watch it. It's just going to make you want to see a new episode immediately.

That Star labs technician was kinda annoying, but other than that I thought it was a good episode. I like when a show gets right to the point, instead of dragging out the story.

It may have just been the bad quality, but there's a lot of nice retro styling to The Flash. At times it looks almost like Lois and Clark from the mid 90s, but I mean that in a GOOD way.

Its also hilarious that they're not even going to try and make Central City look all that different Star City. They're basically lighting Vancouver in a slightly different way and calling it a day - which is probably the smarter choice anyway. Much happier to see the show's budget go towards the CGI.

I don't want to get into spoilery discussion about the last little nugget of information thrown to us in the pilot, but I'm kinda surprised at how insider baseball it is. I'm all for geektastic and DC comics references, but I can't imagine any non-DC fans gleaming much of anything from that scene.

On the plus side, Gustin's goddamn perfect. I instantly like most of the casting, and particularly enjoy that the script really focused on how Flash is going to be a different series than Arrow.

And to think the same network that gave us the abortion of Smallville now has a great superhero show in Arrow and the makings of another with Flash.

The rule for things that don't cost money is generally that they don't care as long as you don't tell people where to do it. Or in the case of the sports forum that it's totally okay to post pirate streams for some reason. Mod discretion I guess.

Lowtax doesn't actually care if you pirate things, he just doesn't want the RIAA, MPAA, etc. to go after him about it.

Posters in BSS got probated at one point for discussing DC animated films weeks prior to their release. I guess it is just up to the mods then.

Yeah that was my understanding, just don't post links or otherwise point people to where they can do it.

I think so far the only things we were told not to do here thus far regarding the Flash was to post spoilers (even with tags) or start a thread for the show before the premiere which is why we're posting about it here in its big brother's thread where it's somewhat related.

If anything we're here doing exactly what the network wants us to do, getting hyped and spreading the word.

Well no, they don't initially televise them. But screeners usually have a watermark that states that by having it in your possession you're breaking the law.

This is like the day after he wakes up from the coma though. There's no reason they can't say that that's not his top speed. Although I'd bet on it being some sort of climactic moment when he discovers/manages to break the sound barrier.

The moment the Speed Force is mentioned on the show, they'll make him run as fast as they want.

This isn't a comic book show thread. It's an Arrow thread. And Arrow was in the Flash pilot. Therefore it was relevant. Let me know if Ollie shows up in Constantine then it'll be relevant.

‘Member the “Seth” guy I told you about a couple of weeks ago? Well, the casting for that role has since been tweaked, and he is now described as a “shade of a man” with a quiet intensity, a “criminal mastermind who whistles classical music” as he goes about his devious business. There’s also talk of him having “reptilian eyes.” Whomever he is, he will be the Big Bad for the season opener.
