Aside from the idea being incredibly dumb, you make it seem as though there is a story like that already somewhere. What story is it? Or am I misreading you?

Unless I'm missing several layers of meta in-jokes, I believe he's referring to season 2 of Arrow.

We did not find out Barrowman's character's name until Episode 7. Wells (or someone else) can still be Eobard Thawne.

One of the many ways that radiation causes illness is by damaging our DNA. A university team wanted to find out whether they could breed the common bacteria E. coli to be more resistant to radiation damage. So they took a group of E. coli, bombarded it (cut off)

Our bodies repair DNA in many of the same ways that bacteria does. So this study sheds light on ways that human cells could one day repair rad (cut off) are actively repairing (cut off) wake of radiation damage (cut off)

Shado is notable for being an antagonist and a love interest to Green Arrow in DC comic books, and is distinguished from other recurring characters by being both his rapist and the mother of his child.

It amazes me that none of the Flash's heroic team of supporters seems to mind locking up people not only without any sort of trial, but apparently no furniture, toilet, or anything to do but sit in a 6' square room alone underground. The metal guy (whom I called Bromium) was even still wearing the same clothes.

I was counting Grodd in that count so nevermind I guess.

So why were they so desperate to keep Barry away from the meta-human who was shooting electricity, so that they could get him to the treadmill to electrocute him?

Pressed the wrong button, or if the pods are in some kind of ASRS it might have had to move to get the other one out.

It's because The Flash is actually a thinly veiled social commentary on terrorism and American exceptionalism.

He also was draining things of their power. Hence how he "stole" the Barry's powers and also why he was feeding off the power from STAR Labs before he walked in.

Actually, it looks like they reworked that. I guess DC has too much rape:

DC altered its continuity slightly as part of its 2011 relaunch, making Bruce and Talia's tryst during Damian's conception consensual.

You'll be fine. If anything just watch the episode from two weeks ago. It leads into the crossover

Would you be my new best friends?

I caught up on the first two seasons of Arrow before getting caught up on The Flash, and while I enjoyed the show (though it is TERRIBLE in parts) I feel burned out on it, I've only seen 2-3 episodes of season 3 and have been struggling to really get engaged with it. Flash, on the other hand, has been a joy to watch, perhaps because it is so nakedly unconcerned about embracing the comic-book lunacy, something that Arrow seemed to take a while to feel comfortable with.

Still, if The Atom shows up in Arrow that's going to make it all worth it.

I hope once aliens get added into the mix (possibly in Arrow), Jaime Reyes shows up and crosses over with Booster Gold when he inevitably appears in The Flash unless Ted Kord somehow becomes a vigilante.

And he gets his epithet of the Scarlet Speedster. Truly a wonderful day.

I'm simultaneously hopeful and worried about the fact they're really going to go into the argument of each hero's methods. Hopeful, because whilst its been done before in the comics, its also been done well - particularly post-2000s - so its not like they're short on material to use. Worried in that, at the same time, the fight is still framed in Barry going nuts because of a metahuman, putting Ollie in the heroic underdog seat, which conjures to mind far too many internet arguments of Batman vs Whoever.
