You don't store grains in a fridge.

You do if you live in a place with pest issues like, say, Florida, a subterranean secret lair, or Las Vegas.

The fridge should just be where people go to have their muffled spats on flimsy pretexts. No scenes are ever shot there. Fridge all relationship drama.

Only eco-terrorists buy quinoa at all.

So when do we get to see earth-2 Snow anyway? Been looking forward to that since the set photos were leaked

Those weren't set photos, those were from last season when she appeared as killer frost in a possible timeline barry ran past in the finale.

I don't think any set photos have been leaked, just her scene on the S1 finale (one of the visions of past/future/alternate history that Barry runs past) cleaned up and passed off as "new footage."

Flesh Forge: Jan 31, 2011; LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DOG

I liked this crossover ep a whole bunch but the whole thing with the "Hmm, visit child stranger I have zero connection to or be straight with the love of my life DECISIONS DECISIONS" thing made me cringe. Would have liked it a whole lot more if Oliver decided hmm yes I will say Eat poo poo And Die Fate, and told Felicity, "Yeah I had a kid ten years ago but his mom doesn't want anything to do with me now and won't let me see him, sucks huh? LET'S GO gently caress"

Crossover was fun and rocked and the Flash kinda dominated both parts which was good for me because I don't like Arrow that much except for his occasional appearances on The Flash. Good to see he's a bit more light-hearted now.

I don't know if it's just me but whenever Barry is around the other heroes in uniform he seems to channel his inner Wally West a lot more. Cracking jokes, being goofy, etc. I like it.

Man I can't wait for like 10 years or so when someone who grew up loving Wally West gets control at DC and returns everything back to before.

The reason TV Barry is mostly good is because he acts like Wally.

I dunno what TV Wally's gonna act like.

I'd really like an episode where Barry accepts his celebrity and does some exhibitions for charity. He's the fastest man ~~in the world~~ native to Earth-1 and a Central City hero, he could try having some fun with it.

Holy poo poo if they follow through with the rumored Supergirl crossover, it better be a charity race. Just like his first appearance in the DCAU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrwKC3288ug

You are so correct, Other Barry.

The Chronicles of Cisco posted:

On a scale of one to Adele, my breakup with Kendra is a solid 25. These past few days have been rough � like, downing-an-entire-jar-of-Nutella-while-binge-watching-Jane-the-Virgin rough. How much do I have to eat until the pain goes away? I thought I had finally found �the one,� but how on Earths could I possibly compete with a reincarnated love that transcends time?

I decided to take a mental health day from S.T.A.R. Labs to wallow, but that�s not to say I wasn�t productive. I baked (and promptly ate) an entire batch of Abuela Ramon�s killer Everything-But-the-Kitchen-Sink cookies, wrote a love ballad for Kendra on my Vortex AX Synth Keytar, cyber-stalked Carter � aka Hawkman � to make sure he checked out (he�s never even had a parking ticket!), and rolled out the trusty yoga mat for some much-needed zen. I tried not to think about Kendra, but that was next to impossible. I mean, have you seen her? It�ll take loads of time and one of those flashy memory-wipers from Men in Black to get her out of my head.

Barry came by after work to check up on me. Let me tell you, a grown man in Star Wars jammies crying his eyes out to Whitney Houston doesn�t make a pretty picture, but to Barry�s credit, he didn�t flinch. He even brought reinforcements: he sped off to Coast City for a stack of his favorite pizza (pepperoni, black olives, and jalapenos) and he brought along a bottle of Joe�s homemade whiskey � which, I learned after the fact, is 140 proof and should not be guzzled like orange soda. Had I been of rational mind, I would�ve asked Barry to hide my phone. The whiskey had me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside and imbued me with the confidence to call Kendra, leave a message declaring my undying love for her, and play her my Keytar ballad. Even The Flash wasn�t fast enough to stop me, but Barry did, at least, knock the phone out of my hand right before I broke into the rap. His look of horror brought me stone cold sober and those fuzzy feelings were replaced with sheer terror � Frak! What had I done?

I ran to my computer and pulled all the stops on my hacking skillz (which was incredibly challenging as I was, at this point, seeing triple). I located Kendra�s phone signal via GPS (she�d left town with Carter and was out near St. Roch) and Barry sped off to retrieve her phone, erase the incriminating voicemail, and return the device safely to her pocket before she even knew what had happened. Crisis averted. We celebrated with a few more rounds of whiskey before I curled up in the fetal position on the sofa and drifted off to sleep, during which I had the sweetest dream of Kendra flying her way back into my life.

Oh, well. They say it�s better to have loved and lost to an Egyptian hawk-god than to never have loved at all, right?

These are much better than the Gitmo logs.
