I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but - was that Weather Wizard's plane we saw go down in the distance during the flashback?

Deadpool posted:In an interview one of the producers said that when Reverse Flash first shows up neither Barry nor the audience will know who he is. He'll be pulling the same tricks on us and Barry that Barry has pulled on Iris. Well that explains something that bothered me a little bit about this episode. Also high points: - I was really worried about whether Eddie was going to die (I knew this was not rational at the time but I actually like him quite a lot) - and I was REALLY worried they were going to kill off Iris I loved this show from the first episode but every single episode has been better and better for me. I sit there saying WOW! NEAT! while watching it and I can't recall any previous TV show that got that kind of happy reaction out of me before. A few particular movies have but this show has managed it every week.

I also don't really get what the deal with Supergirl is and why there are two different cousins of Superman.

It gets a whole lot simpler if they just completely axe superman to begin with. gently caress Clark, he's had his day in the sun, let's give Kara a shot. (I'm not really a superman hater or anything, but he's had plenty of movies and TV shows and he's about to have more, there's no reason to even include him as a relative of Kara's. Just replace him wholesale)

But unfortunately Wells isn't him, he's Hunter Zolomon AKA Zoom AKA the yellow fast guy who sucks, which is kind of boring. I always thought that Zolomon's creepy way of talking (randomly speeding up and slowing down because he's displaced in time) was really interesting and would be fun to hear onscreen. It's interesting that the character of Eddie in this show probably should have been named Hunter Zolomon (because he started out as a normal cop who was friends with The Flash) but Wells incorporates elements of that character as well because of the wheelchair thing, dead wife, time displacement elements, and the "I want to make Flash the best hero possible by any means necessary and that includes harming/killing his loved ones." And both characters obviously embody elements of the Eobard Thawne Zoom as well, Eddie in name and Wells in action and motivation. So both characters embody character elements from both versions of Reverse Flash and I think they've used that to really great effect to make viewers with comic knowledge unsure which one of them is the real Reverse Flash while also leaving open the possibility that it could be both or neither.

I think I'm drifting towards "Wells injects Eddie, who then goes back in time to gently caress with Barry, leading to the death of Barry's mom." Either because Eddie and Iris break up because she's got the hots for the Flash, because Iris died and Eddie blames Barry, or because getting injected with the Speed Force drives him nuts. Probably Wells decides that Barry can't be relied upon to save the world and picks Eddie as his replacement, but Eddie freaks out and it blows up in everyone's faces. It does beggar the question of why Zoom/Reverse Flash/Guy in the Yellow Suit/Whatever They End Up Calling Him is active now and trying to intimidate Joe, though. Has Fast Eddie just been hanging around for the last fourteen years? Or did he get boosted forward into the future fourteen years during his fight with Barry? I dunno.

There have been a bunch of incredibly convoluted origin stories for Supergirl over the years - about the only one I really liked was how the Superman animated series handled her. The last remaining survivor of a planet that was near Krypton, and lost its atmosphere when Krypton exploded. Seriously, Supergirl's arc (picked up and drastically expanded in the Justice League series) is top shelf character development. Of course, being on CBS doesn't exactly scream "serialized comic adventures" to me. But even CBS wants a slice of the superhero pie.

To be fair, CBS has Elementary and Person of Interest, which are two shows with some of the most natural and well-earned character development on TV, so I think the show has a chance as long as it's handled correctly and they have some interesting ideas for where to take it.

On the Supergirl front, is the name Kara Danvers a thing in recent comics, or is Berlanti just throwing rocks at Marvel by bringing it back? I want to put faith in this show, but I'm not super keen on the character changes they're hinting at in the casting calls. Basically copping Superman's story being raised by the Not-Kents in Not-Smallville and having her move to Not-Metropolis to work at Not-The Daily Planet... And probably no mention of her cousin. There's only so much of an established character you can jettison before you start loving with said character's appeal.

Yeah, all that stuff about Supergirl living with yet another decent adoptive farming family in Kansas is straight from the old Silver Age comics. It's totally spergy to mock a lot of old female character's origins as being "A pre-established hero, but a woman instead" but that is literally how they originally did Supergirl.

The bar has been set pretty high for TV superpowers these days. With Oliver putting arrows in people in the pilot while wearing a green costume and The Flash having his iconic outfit and powers in the pilot, they're not going to be getting my viewership if we don't have some good progression and acknowledgement of what they're working with.

She's never going to fly and they'll CGI her into a costume one time 10 seasons from now because the actress refuses to actually wear it.

The animated series basically gave Superman a 16 year old "cousin", and he quite reasonably panics. He talks to his parents in Smallville about it, and they offer to raise her. Its pretty great. My worry isn't that Supergirl is a tough character to get right - I'm more concerned that Berlanti is spreading his team a little too thin.

Either because Eddie and Iris break up because she's got the hots for the Flash, because Iris died and Eddie blames Barry, or because getting injected with the Speed Force drives him nuts. Christ I hope not, having Eddie go nuts because of some tragedy regarding Iris sounds incredibly melodramatic and not particularly fun to sit through - especially for a character that I actually quite like as just a good, normal cop. I have very low expectations of him staying this way, but if he has to go, I'd prefer he just died while still a nice guy than becoming a drama bomb personally since at least it's quick and doesn't taint what I like about the character. I really don't want to see a villain arise from the ashes of Barry's already somewhat overblown obsession with Iris, just so that he can move in on her instead of either having it happen naturally or just being dropped because he learns to get over it. I doubt that'll happen either though. Wezlar posted:Diggle is great but Kyle Rayner is the only Green Lantern I care about You don't want to see a Guy Gardner Green Lantern tv show? CharlieFoxtrot posted:Supergirl will be a procedural where she and a wisecracking team of specialists solve murders in Kansas. Like, I'd love to see a Green Lantern tv show with Guy Gardner that actually has them act like a group of cops/detectives as well as superheroes on a regular basis. A sci-fi police procedural to Arrow's noir vigilante show and Flash's comedy heroics show. Seeing Guy actually get to be a competent rear end in a top hat while solving crimes and reveling in his superpowers and giving the middle finger to the blue elves running things occasionally would be great.
