Aphrodite posted:The newspaper actually says Flash disappeared during the "Crisis". We don't know if he saved the world or not. It's possible he failed, and Wells is trying to make him better for the second try. Or its a huge easter egg for Flash comic fan Barry Allan died during the Crisis in 1985, and red skies were part of it.

It became triangular like a... triangle. That they defaulted to Doritos when they saw a triangle wasn't very surprising though.

I thought one of the more indicative moments of Iris' character were in the pilot, when Det. West is chastising Barry and Iris for being near that police chase. He says "you're not a cop" and she retorts "because you wouldn't let me." She clearly wanted to follow in her father's footsteps, but was prohibited from her preferred career choice; in her position I would probably have the same lackadaisical attitude toward my studies.

Somehow complaints about Laurel Lance's appearance have contaminated the Flash thread, too? She's an attractive and capable actress. The only thing "wrong" with her was a lack of clarity for how the writers intended to use her. And as of this season, that's gone...she has a clear arc ramping up that is great. Iris seems like great casting, actually. I just hope the writers define her in ways external to her relationships to men - Barry, her dad, or the cop boyfriend. At the moment, she's basically Mary Jane from the Raimi Spider-Man, and that pretty much means being a prop for the hero's Nice Guy man-pain.

double negative posted:Yeah, they haven't really been depicting Iris as smart or capable at all - in fact it's been so much the opposite that your annoyance is probably better directed at the show's writers. Wait, I thought Iris was a journalism student, which makes her lack of STEM knowledge not that weird. (Comics Iris is also a journalist, like Wally's wife. A lot of that going around. Shame that Batman never made a move on Summer Gleeson. They could've been so happy.)

She had written a dissertation on something else earlier, though.

The Question IRL posted:However that entire theory was shot to hell in this episode given that Harrison Wells clearly knows Simon Stagg and has had dealings with him in the past. Still I'm going to keep this theory down here in case it plays out as being correct. Much like my prediction for Dominic Purcell being Heat Wave came true. We already knew he was a famous scientist as Harrison Wells, so he's obviously taken time to establish himself in the current era. Dealings with Stagg could have been done while he was establishing himself as Harrison Wells, and don't mean he's not a crazy future man. The theory still works.

My point was, I figured that Harrison Wells the man with future knowledge just came back just after the Particle Accelerator exploded, hide the real Harrison Well's body and then took over his life. This episode indicates that the Wells we are introduced has been around a while.

No that doesn't work. Now my head hurts. I like to think of the future newspaper as an Early Edition homage.

The best reason to being up the Crisis and the Red skies is so that people won't bitch because none of the TV show actors will play their character s in the movies. So the movie universe can be Earth 1, TV can be Earth2 And Nolanverse can be Earth 3 etc. Gives DC something different over Marvel.
