Red Tailed Hawk cry is used for "eagle cries" on TV/Movies

VDay posted:Yeah I'm surprised some people thought the train scene redeemed some of that stuff, I thought it just made things way worse. "Oh you faked a terrorist attack just to confirm the fact that I've been lying to you this whole time and lied to your face like 5 hours ago when we said goodbye but hey I guess now you know for sure even though you already did. Don't worry though you're totally not in danger now that you know who I am even though that's the reason we broke up even though I was going to tell you at some point. It's a shame we definitely can't still be together because even though I can run across the country in 30 seconds a long distance relationship is just impossible for me anyway you seem like you'll be fine and not scarred for life after this insanely cruel betrayal of trust ok byyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee..." Yeah it starts to get real annoying when characters make the same mistake over and over, which seems to be a hallmark for both this show and Arrow. You're comment about Barry being able to run to the next town in a few seconds is the one that really bothers me, because you're right, there's no reason that he couldn't maintain a long-distance relationship, because he could pop over for dinner and be back home before the night was even over. That and I really liked Patty, so bleh.

No, bald eagles just go 'meep' the second meep is added in post so they only have to pay the eagle once.

In season 1 it took him about an hour to run from Central City to Starling City, and those are only 600 miles apart.

and at the end of season one, he ran fast enough to go back in time. I think he could make it in a few minutes.

(Though his lies were largely what led to her feeling okay with severing and moving away.) It wasn't. If you rewatch that scene, there was a moment in the conversation where it didn't quite trigger for Barry that Patty was breaking up, and she had to explicitly say she was leaving everything behind, and then it clicked.

Yeah the separation thing was clearly an excuse. Barry's emotional dishonesty is what made Patty leave, going to CSI school in another city was just a convenient out for both of them. Patty literally said she would stay if Barry would just tell her the truth. She was devastated when he wouldn't.

That was actually an approximation of what it looks like to him when he goes into Speed Force mode. He's moving so fast relative to everything else that it might as well be standing still. Wally does the same thing during the big Savitar story he had, one of the evil speedsters jumps him on a date and he doesn't even realize he's started moving at super speed until he notices Linda is frozen in mid-movement.

Teddy Sears is fine. His character doing literally nothing but stand around and make googly eyes at Caitlin is not.

On the one hand I'm still hopeful that all the dumb stuff with him is simply being used to clumsily set something up for the end of the season, but on the other hand I'm kind of terrified that they're just going to go with one of the super obvious twists when it comes to Zoom/Jay/Zolomon. In the meantime though bringing him in and then revealing that he doesn't have his speed, making him get into a super forced relationship with Caitlin, revealing that he basically has cancer, and making him be against like 90% of Barry's plans/ideas aren't exactly fun or interesting character beats.

Jay just needs more to do. Originally the interviews before the season began said that Jay would act as a mentor to Barry, but that hasn't been happening on screen at all. He taught Barry how to throw lightning and that has so far been the bulk of his contributions. Otherwise he's there to scowl at Harrison Wells and flirt with Caitlin. And sure Wells killed Turtle, but he's the only one who is actively trying to figure out ways to stop Zoom and get his daughter back. Everyone else seems fine with pushing the thought of Zoom out of their minds until he starts cropping up again.

He shows up to be scary and then runs off again and everyone keeps talking about him, but he doesn't really do much of anything right now. So finding out why he's doing what he is can help give him some much needed depth.
