He's actually really good when he's allowed to be funny, hopefully that will continue now that they're past the "don't use your superspeed to save yourself and others  " drama

If I remember correctly the Cisco blog thing from season one said that the no-bathroom-breaks pods connected into another room when they weren't being called up to talk to Team Flash. Though now that I think about it that would just raise even more questions about no-lunch supermax.

When is the last time you've seen any building designed with a bathroom. Do you have any idea where the bathroom is in the Star Labs building? It's pretty big, and you may note that in real life basically any building that isn't a residence has signs or other design features to draw attention to them. It's just a law of the TV universes, most shows exist in a universe that is vibrating at a slightly different frequency that disables most of peoples biological needs.

So am I alone seeing the weird HR walk in thing, when Savitar or Julian is talking about how he can make people do things? Or when they hinted at that Wally was the one that was important, and that HR is the one that is training Wally who is also faster than Barry, given that Savitar only shows up when a threat to him shows up and that Wally's speed is an essential part of whatever Savitar is doing?

That was a really great episode, and I'm kind of glad it ended on a good note since inevitably everything is going to go to poo poo somehow when the show returns. Also, goddamn CW casting. Between Candace Patton and Joe's new girlfriend, I'm wondering how many ugly babies had to be born to keep the world in balance.

Wally is only noted as being faster than Barry at the same relative time after acquiring powers, fwiw.

Am I the only one who thinks that the cast of this show has been too large and unwieldy for some time now? Seven or eight people stacked into that overused STAR Labs command center all pep-talking at each other in rapid succession just makes...I dunno, it makes the space of this show feel really claustrophobic and burdensome. Not sure how to explain it. It feels like Buffy season 7 where everyone was just stacked into Buffy's living room for episode after episode, and the set wasn't built to accommodate that visually or dynamically. I don't think we need to pare down the cast or anything, but (just as an example) we really don't need the entire West family locked in with the science gang every time Barry fights a meta. Shouldn't Joe be out there anyway, as a cop?

I didn't like that it ended on a good note, I spent the last 5 minutes or so waiting for the other shoe to drop, it needed something bad to happen storywise in order to set up the return, Arrow handled this really well this week, it had a downer ending and a stinger to boot, so we know exactly what to expect when the show starts back up. Flash really needed someone to die at the end of the episode, or Iris to get kidnapped right after the house announcement. Or at the very least some sort of hint or shot of the person who will betray the party shortly (Re: Arrow, the Artemis reveal a few episodes ago.) Otherwise there's no hook to come back to when the show restarts. They're going to need to open the next episode by creating a problem before anyone can react or deal with it, instead of giving the audience knowledge now and letting it simmer in their minds until the next episode.

They said it's from 5 months in the future, so that's not relevant until the season finale. I'm talking about this episode, the midseason finale, leading into the midseason premiere. There's still no plot hook. In order for that to be a hook, Savitar needs to come back first, which didn't happen at the end of this episode, which still leaves them with no problems going into the midseason premiere next episode.

'Imminent death countdown' that as of the end of this episode appears to be completely negated from the audience and character's perspectives. (Until Savitar shows up again in the second half.) I'm just saying that I thought it was weird that Flash didn't have a last scene of episode drama stinger for the midseason finale when Arrow, and Legends of Tommorow did (And Supergirl last week, but that was for the Crossover.) But if it's just going to be the two of us going back and forth, I'm willing to drop this unless others want to chime in one way or the other.

Knormal posted:Really I think it would have been a lot better if they said the pods held them in stasis or suspended animation or whatever sci-fi buzzword they wanted to use when they weren't being interacted with. That also lessens the. horrible moral issues of throwing supervillians into indefinite solitary confinement, where they have nothing to do but go insane and build a grudge. I think so too. It could be said a lot of the metas are simply corrupted by these powers and behaving irrationally. Is it just accepted that there's no cure for being a meta? It would be nice to think they put them in suspended animation while they try to find a way to bring them back to normal. Just a long running project happening off screen they can reference every now and then. The solitary confinement thing is really quite cruel from what is meant to be the good side.

What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure that was late season two. The trailer for the back half of season two made this big deal about how Iris's new editor was basically J. Jonah Jameson for the Flash, then that lasts less than an episode and he's sold on the Flash by the end of his first appearance, except for that one date they went on.

greatn posted:Here is what to do. Take Felicity off of Arrow and put her on this show as love interest and Cisco. She won't have the same problems here since Barry doesn't have any secrets to keep from her. Bring over Lance as well, who now gains super speed and thus can't get drunk. Reverse Alchemy Black Siren to make her Laurel, send her back to Arrow. Send Cisco to Arrow to be the new Felicity where he's cool cause Arrow never killed his brother. Cisco I'd Laurels love interest. Send Iris to be Oliver's new love interest. Send Joe to legends of tomorrow so he's not around to be overprotective everything and everyone. They make use of his time intuition. Bring Jax back to Flash to be Caitlin's love interest, make the other half of firestorm Lance. Forget what I said about Lance getting super speed earlier. Professor Stein becomes the Sandman. Been hitting the Grandma's nogs I see...
