That was some good CG for tv, but it took Barry forever to throw that lightning. The charge time on that technique is not supposed to be that long!

Why couldn't Caitlyn just freeze the cage bars so they could shatter them? But no, faking Barry's death was the "only" way.

Tonight I watched a show where one actor portrayed three wildly different characters - one of whom was a homicidal psychic gorilla. What a world we live in.

He was wall running to charge it up, Solovar does his triple jump shockwave dust up and it knocked Barry down. He takes a pretty gnarly high speed tumble, I'm sure there will be a gif of it, almost as enjoyable as Wally running into wall.

They put a lot of time into that full-rotate shot just after Solovar bashed Flash. Was that a comic cover reference, or did some graphic designer fall in love with their work and put their foot down?

Spartacus cgi/green screen arena shots looked better than this. Good god, stop rotating the loving camera around the lovely cgi Flash! Also, since when does phasing through somebody's ribcage in order to stop their heart become a super-punch repelling an 800Lb gorilla 50 yards away? He already has a super sonic ultra power punch attack. I feel like the writers are going out of their way to make everything and everybody as stupid as possible. Like, how come Wally's training for phasing through things was running into a wall over and over? For a laugh? You can get the same laugh for having Wally screw up a thing he's still training on while he's chasing a bad guy, instead of making literally making that the training exercise. I don't recall Barry using that particular training regimen. Same with them just forgetting that Barry has been pretty into killing people for the better part of two seasons now or having Grodd just not use his psychic ability so the team could use their lovely contrived plan instead of literally any of their actual abilities. I think I'm pretty much done with this show. Never really read comic books as a kid, so I don't get much enjoyment from seeing those story lines brought to TV, but I did really like the first season. I don't need any gritty realism or the grim dark BS from Batman vs Superman, but it'd be cool if they took this bag of tools they established over the first couple seasons (supersonic punch, lightning, hand-to-hand combat training, phasing through stuff etc...) and actually used them to solve whatever issue the team is facing. I really like most of the characters, most of the time, but goddamn the writers seem to hate all of us.

"I demand more realistic use of Flash's superpowers" Barry learned how to phase by running really fast into something while someone told him to run faster, having Wally run into a wall replicates the circumstances he first learned how to phase. You don't complain about him phasing an entire moving train and everyone in it through a pile of rocks? Space Crabs fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Feb 22, 2017 |

I honestly don't remember exactly how Barry trained himself to phase. If he did it the same way, by just running into a wall over and over and over then I guess I underestimated how dumb this has been for how long. I thought he did something more like doing his jazz hands through a door or something. And I'm not asking for any realism at all, not sure where you read that. Just a little bit of consistency, that's all. I don't know why this episode broke me. I think it was the endlessly spinning arena shots maybe. I totally agree about it being garbage since season 2, but Cisco and Tom Cavanaugh kept me entertained enough I guess, and Tom nearly pulled if off again tonight.

Just a little bit of consistency, that's all. how can you complain about consistency and make that your hill to die on if you don't even remember what happened? The Trickster put a bomb on him that explodes if he stops running and Evil Wells gives Barry a speech about how awesome the speedforce feels and how he needed to be more in touch with it to vibrate himself and travel through something while leaving the bomb behind. It's kind of a major plot point since that's exactly when he discovered Wells was the Reverse Flash because of how he described the speed force when got Barry to phase by just running into something. They actually did Wally's training well because Barry doesn't know dick about teaching someone something so he literally just had Wally running straight into something and could only offer up a half-hearted "Just feel the speed force and the air man I don't know do it" and later after learning his lesson and admitting his mistakes he gave Wally the correct kind of motivation to basically just run into something.

I'll concede that it's possible they had Wally run into a wall repeatedly for reasons other than a cheap laugh, but I don't really believe it. It's been approximately two years since I watched the episode you're describing, so yeah I don't remember the details surrounding Barry gaining that ability. The writers can barely remember what each character is capable of from episode to episode and it's their job.

The Speed episode, Barry had to run through the wall and leave the bomb on the other side. Reverse Flash standard deep end "Run Barry, run!" moment.

Oh HR. "He's gonna be so pissed." I expected that kinda evil from Odo-Wells, but getting his doppelganger's daughter to leave their home universe in order to bang the dumbest guy in Central City*? All because Harrison has the audacity to have done something worthwhile with his life? That's some next-level douchebaggery. New favorite Wells! *YMMV, but Barry's gonna have to get up pretty stupid in the morning to beat Wally's famed, "Goddamn it, why don't I have superpowers yet? Oh right! I haven't tried getting killed by a speeding car today!"

Cavanaugh is an absolute gem. He better never leave the show. How long does it take for Barry to charge up for his lighting throw? He was running for like 20 seconds around.

I mean, he didn't kidnap her, he just encouraged her to do something she clearly wanted to do, something that would make both her and his friend happy. I don't know how that's really douchebaggery. She's an adult and capable of making her own decisions. And to Wells, having her live on Earth 1 is not too different from having her live in the next town over. She can come over for dinner every week if she wants. I'm also getting a little annoyed at how inconsistent they've been writing the Flash's powers. I get it, it's hard to write the Flash and not have him solve everything as soon as you blink, but it does feel like they're not even trying. It was hilarious having Cisco calling out the battle plan through the fight, when it boiled down to "hit him really fast!" "ok, that didn't work, do the special move!" "ok, that didn't work, try the other special move! ...we win!" (Although I would have loved to see "Ok Barry, remember how you can usually just run circles around bank robbers and tie them up before they can even react? Just do that! ...we win!")

Forget about bullets and energy projectiles shot out of modern firearms. Slow-rear end darts from primitive blowguns are the Flash's one weakness.

If they want to change the future, shouldn't they be deliberately trying to do things differently than what they would have done in the original timeline? You can't change the future by playing out the same events that probably lead to that happening in the first place. Geez.
