If only Jay let Barry loiter in the future about 8 seconds longer, he would have seen the headline "City still cleaning Kid Flash's remains off of street."

Hollismason posted:I like that Barry's tactic is to just run in a straight line toward Grodd. This episode was kind of fun but bogged down by some just really dumb poo poo. Apes are expensive, let's spend 15 minutes dealing with a "nuke". Boy, Barry brute forcing a keypad sure is heroic. Every time he does that trick I'm like "There is no way that hardware can process entries that fast, my garage door screws up if I input my code too fast at a non-meta-human speed."

I have enjoyed how in the intro Barry says he's the only one fast enough to save Iris when the plan to save her hinges on Wally being faster.

Fru Fru posted:It was explained (poorly) that she was the only one who knew where Solovar was. It was not explained how she knew. Maybe Grodd made her hide him on yet another Earth. Well poo poo that just opens even more questions. Like why would Grodd keep him alive? Especially after they drove it in over and over how it's all life or death when dealing with gorilla politics. :speedforce.gif:

You know, I do kind of wish that Flash and the other Arrowverse shows would do the occasional self-aware opening narration like Mick's "WHO WRITES THIS CRAP?!" intro over on Legends.

Barry: "Guys, punching every number in sequence isn't working." Everyone: "Well it's all we've got keep doing it." Barry: "No seriously this isn't working come up with a new plan." Everyone: "Got nothing keep going." Barry: "WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE OR PEO- oh hey it worked." Also it's really lucky for Barry's plan that Solovar tossing Grodd some twenty stories to the street didn't kill him.

Mortanis posted:Also it's really lucky for Barry's plan that Solovar tossing Grodd some twenty stories to the street didn't kill him. I mean Barry's plan wasn't just to not kill Grodd. The part of the plan that required Solovar to defeat Grodd and reclaim the loyalty of his soldiers would have worked. I think they've handled it clumsily, but I don't think Barry - a step-son of a detective who works for the police and dated another police officer - has a problem with lethal force when there is no other option. What he was struggling with is deciding whether to murder Grodd as an easy way to win and keep him from being a threat in the future.

Yeah, Barry's morality is basically "Look, if a homicidal super villain puts me in a situation where I kill in self defense or to save people or he/she dies because of his/her own actions, than I can live with that. But I don't want to execute anyone." As said, they've done a clumsy job with it leading to all the jokes about Barry being a serial killer but it's a defensible moral code and fits well with his familiarity with law enforcement. And I think acknowledging that Barry's fights sometimes end in death is a more or less logical move when the show exists in the same world as Arrow. Otherwise the joke would be "its hilarious that Oliver is a serial killer when Barry always manages to magically save the day without killing anyone." GobiasIndustries posted:I really like that Harry's 'I'm dying' plot would have actually worked, but nope he was just being his typical rear end in a top hat self I love that it wasn't even a plot by Harry, its just something that Wally kind of accidently walked into and Harry was just like "eh, this could maybe work... why not?"

No he definitely did it on purpose. He said something first and Wally interpreted it as "Don't worry we will visit you a lot" and then Harry tried again and Wally took the bait.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:No he definitely did it on purpose. He said something first and Wally interpreted it as "Don't worry we will visit you a lot" and then Harry tried again and Wally took the bait. That's not how I read it. I saw it as Harry just saying something totally innocent and ambiguous like "time I have with her" and Wally misinterpreting it. Then Harry realized what had happened and leaned into it and led Wally further down the path with intentionally ambiguous language. He purposely mislead Wally, but it wasn't his intention when the conversation started. It just started to happen and he ran with it. Which is totally the hilarious way because Harry's less of the guy who steals money so much as he's the guy who realizes that they accidently under charged him for something so then buys a ton more of it and re-sells it for a profit. tldr; it was deliberate on Harry's part but it wasn't pre-meditated.

I was kind of under the impression that post-Flashpoint reboot Flash was supposed to have been less murdery in this timeline. I don't think he's killed anyone this season, and they don't have their inhumane solitary confinement meta prison anymore. I guess they never officially established that, but that's why I figured everyone was all "mustn't kill."

Because of this Iris has refused to communicate with him one-on-one for many months. -There is a speed lab where Barry trains to be a better speedster. No word when this was made, but it's not recent. Additionally neither Harry nor Jesse were affected by the Flashpoint changes because they were on E2, and are just as surprised to learn all this as Barry.

Tiggum posted:I think that was actually last season. I remember them still locking people up in their own private prison even after the authorities gained the ability to deal with metas. Yeah they first mentioned it last season and everyone was hopeful that it would nix the use of the no-lunch supermax, but then it didn't. This season they've dropped the name several more times and it seems like the procedure is to only hold people when they need to (Julian when he was possessed by Alchemy, Caitlin when she was Killer Frost, Gypsy when she was possessed by Grodd --- so uh basically possessed people I guess??)

Yeah, at some point they seemed that shift from kidnapping everyone to kidnapping just the people who they don't want to put in jail because either they're friends, have some value to them, or know Barry's identity.

My one question is what happened to Tokamak (the not firestorm guy)? They threw him in no-lunch supermax for being angry and threatening to tell on them.

Yeah, but she seems to fall into the "knows Barry's secret identity (and everyone else)" category. That's seems to be the primary reason they permanently unlawfully hold people these days. Of course she's also from a parallel universe so her rights probably aren't technically being violated.

So we ran the drawing of a face through EVERY database, the guy is a ghost (but we'll still show the search happening on screen for some reason). Then HR noticed something - that they guy had a short haircut. So we ran the drawing of the face through the Department of Defense database... (showing the search and result on screen for some reason)

CW released a synopsis of the musical, and I'm a little bummed Barry and team are surprised when Mon-El and Hank Henshaw arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl who was whammied by the Music Meister . Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end. Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing (#317). Original airdate 3/21/2017. Having it all be a dream takes some of the fun away. That said, still looking forward to it.
