Yeah I also don't think a glorified supersoaker can generate Planck temperature, which is 1.416833(85) × 1032 K or 100 million million million million million degrees F.

And whatever is packing that power in the gun isn't going to be easy to acquire. Especially if you're currently fire gun-less.

Heat-Wave and everything within a reasonable radius of him would also turn to plasma, I'm fairly sure.

Several miles probably, yeah. The center of the sun is "only" 15 billion K.

When they said his gun heats things to the Planck temperature it reminded me of this.

Gustin was plenty cool on Glee. Sebastian was a great villain.

I thought he was perfectly fine as a dude who is obviously crazy. I can kind of see how some people think he was just awkward and stilted, but I thought it fit the character.

I don't actually have anything against him, I was just trying to illustrate that his voice is more of a draw for me than his acting. He just has 'the voice' for being a great villain.

Is there anything unusual to the ordering of Arrow and Flash this season? Trying to work out which episodes to watch when, since I know there are crossovers.

Flash episodes air the day before Arrow, but time passes in each show at the same rate. So watch Flash episode 1, then Arrow episode 1. Flash episode 2, Arrow episode 2, etc etc. The crossover episodes are the 8th ones, before that it really doesn't matter.

You don't need to watch them alternating or anything. The only one that really matters is watching the Flash half of the cross-over before the Arrow one.

Haha, what? Vinnie Jones is in Arrow now? I know technically he's been acting as long as he played football but it never stops weirding me out whenever he pops up in something. From the man who crushed Gazza's balls in his hand to primetime US television. :psyduck:

Wait so Jones is coming this year too? So have we confirmed the schedule is going to be two series per year? That makes more sense than the one per year some were speculating on.

This is extremely opiniony.

A lot of people like him just fine, there for, it is not a bad decision, because he is an actor that is liked. He's not a bad actor if you don't like him, it just means you don't like him. Which is fine.

Considering we know nothing about how the character will be written, or the show, I feel like it is a bit early to start criticizing him in the role.

Also if you want to get a lot of eyeballs on your comic book show, which is good for all comic book shows, then casting David Tennant is a good move.

Yes it is an opinion? I don't particularly care if a lot of people like him and I don't see how that would play into being good casting. He's been bad in anything I've seen him in.

As for the show Krysten Ritter is also terrible casting for Jessica Jones and has no point shown she can play that character. The showrunner is also most well known for writing a bunch of terrible Dexter episodes, Twilight and Birds of Prey. That's not really confidence inspiring creative team.

It is more that you frame your opinion pretty poorly.

Good opinion framing "I do not like X because Y"

Poor opinion framing: "X is bad."

Telling people something that they like is bad or awful isn't really a nice way of carrying on a conversation. It's totally ok to not like something but there is no need to be so coarse about it.

I'd say she definitely has the wrong look for the role. And I have never seen her be too serious or do anything remotely action like so it is definitely a REALLY WEIRD choice. Maybe she will surprise us, but I can totally agree that someone else might have been easier to swallow in the role.
