Sky TV probably won't even show Flash/Arrow for a few weeks until they have enough episodes to show every week (whilst America takes gaps for baseball or puppies). If you have Sky, then it's a safe bet they'll be on Anytime even if you're not back in time.

And episodes stay up on CW's apps and websites for about 4 or 5 episodes back, I can't remember for sure. Maybe you could try their website if you've got access to a computer as well.

The CW website has some pretty easy-to-trick regional blocking. Hell of a lot easier than trying to access Netflix/Hulu etc.

Honestly the more I find out about Cody Rhodes the more I like the guy. Turns out his old Stardust getup was directly patterned after Mr. Sinister's iconic outfit:



If you check his twitter he's been trying to instigate a kayfabe beef between his wife and EBR/felicity smoak. :allears:

There are plenty of easy ways if he has a PC, but they won't work on an iPad.

Yeah, no laptop and I can't lug my pc with me. Turns out it's actually pretty feasible to acquire the episodes with my Android phone and then Chromecast them to the TV so fingers crossed

Hulu has it. Get adfreetime, set up your DNS, and make it spoof a US location. If you only have an iPad, I dunno, but I know on android you can spoof the GPS too so it looks like you're in America.

Not a violent death per se. Or, well, violent but not "head slammed repeatedly in a car door" violent.

It took awhile for him to grow on me. I think his introduction in Arrow was really terrible and soured me on the character. But the prototype cold gun won me back.

:agreed: The backdoor pilot was dumb as gently caress with Caitlin and Cisco, but the ACTUAL pilot and subsequent episodes did a lot to undo the monkey-cheese comic mischief motif the Arrow midseason had set up. They both hit some very high notes as season one goes on. Drunk Caitlin. :haw:

I would bet money they will have drunk Caitlin show up sometime in the next season. The fan reaction was way to positive for them not to.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I also didn't care for Barry's introduction on Arrow, was iffy about this show going in, and fell in love with it.

Flash and Arrow just work on two very different wave lengths and don't mix well. Its fun when Ollie and Barry are fighting together but beyond that the characters and feel of the shows just clash with each other. Arrow is a gritty noir crime show and Flash is a fun colorful comic book.

Or I guess in comic terms Flash is Silver/Bronze Age and Arrow is Modern/Dark Age.

I kind of hope they minimize crossovers going forward, neither show needs it to thrive and they really don't mix well for all the reasons you describe

Arrow is Batman. Flash is Superman. Their plots and paths shouldn't intersect too often and they should NEVER try and take on the others' tone without good reason.

If I recall that scene was necessary because of the scheduling that caused The Flash and Arrow to be out of sync with each other. The producers weren't happy about it either. Ollie showing up in Central was as dumb as Barry showing up in Nanda Parbat. The actual crossover episode was fantastic, except for the part where they just fought then magically caught the guy and high fived.

I like one crossover a year plus smaller crossovers if kept to a minimum. They share a universe after all, I think it's fine if they occasionally stumble into each other.

I think all the crossovers not involving Oliver Queen or Barry Allen were well received? Everybody loved the detectives hanging out together and Felicity was better in Flash S1 than she was in Arrow S3 (great understatement). More of the lower-level characters turning up on the other shows wouldn't get any complaints I don't think. Would love an episode of Diggle and Barry Allen hanging out together.

It also showed that the Flash could pretty much solve any problem that Arrow has by going really fast and beating everyone up. The only reason he doesn't is because he's "busy with other problems." That's why the villains have to be super-powered on his show.

Like other goons mentioned, it's the Batman/Superman thing where Supes could totally lock up all the Batman villains in about 2 seconds.

He's remembering them from an alternate timeline. :tinfoil:

I think it's a reference to one of the Arrow crossovers where they talk about how the silly nicknames kept it light and playful and he's only just then realizing how dangerous and hosed up this superhero stuff is.
