This is by the Arrow team right? You'll get that scene in episode 5 and he'll be running around the world to build up speed to rip braniac apart by episode 10.

Season 1 finale will be breaking the light barrier.

Season 2, will be a time travel arc where he has to help his past-self, but can't let his past self see or know ala Quantum Leap, nudging a badguy here, doing some small semi related thing there, all of which ties in with little things sprinkled all through season 1 episodes where it's like "BOY, IT SURE IS A LUCKY COINCIDENCE THAT *THING* JUST HAPPENED IN EXACTLY THIS WAY WINK WINK* culminating in a climactic Season 2 showdown with Professor Zoom, where Barry finds out he is pre-destined to kill his mother or else millions of people/the whole world will die because he never becomes the Flash. *cue a call back to the scene in the pilot where she says it's better to have a good heart than fast legs blah blah*
Season 2 will end on a cliffhanger

Season 3 will open up back in an altered present where Barry managed to save his mom, but she turns out to be a super hosed up villain from Flash's rogue's gallery...


Edit: oh god this is gonna be the new 'Superman beats Bizarro to death while crying' isn't it?

They're gonna have to reshoot nearly the entire thing. The whole plot was about Liv.

Or just re-shoot a couple scenes, or hell just cut a couple scenes and add one at the end where Constantine and chas are driving away and john says "welp, now that's been sorted, moving on." and she becomes just another character who is target of the monster of the week.

I just reread David Mack's "Echo: Vision Quest" story from Daredevil (a fill-in arc during Bendis and Maleev's run), and now I can't help but wonder if Rosario Dawson was cast as Echo in the Daredevil series, rather than Elektra. Mack painted Echo to look so much like Rosario Dawson that he had to have used her as a photo reference.

I hope so, I like Echo a hell of a lot more than Elektra.

Could be a double blind, though. Like:

Timeline One - Flash lives and saves world from the Crisis.

Timeline Two - Thawne goes back in time, kills Barry's mom, steals his girlfriend, and prevents Barry from becoming the Flash, world is destroyed by Crisis.

Timeline Three - Just before the world blows up, Wells goes back in time. He replicates the accident that creates the Flash, and is trying to shepherd him to a place where he'll save the world, and he's willing to kill to do so. This is the timeline we're in now.

That's very Back to the Future. I like it, and I hope they do this or something like it.

So, guys, haven't seen much chatter, but how is Constantine?

I quite like it.
It's a bit shaky in spots, but the lead carries the whole thing quite well. They've been able to pull off some pretty cool effects on what I imagine is not much budget. There's quite a few nods to the comics, and even one of the annoying bits (can't show john smoking on a primetime network show) gets subverted in clever ways a lot of the time.

I'd rate it a B right now, with plenty of potential to get better as everyone settles into things.

Eating is a miserable task for an actor because of how gross prop food can get (spit buckets exist for this reason) so I can understand why they choose to let that be something that is now assumed after referencing it once.

I really liked when they had a bunch of empty plates or donut boxes. It seemed a good compromise, and had utility as a comedic beat.

They should do more of that.

He engineers the circumstances to get his hands on that device.

But Wells is definitely trying to preserve the future right? He seemed distraught when the newspaper changed from Flash saving the world to Flash disappearing and the red sky continuing. It would seem that something happened where the Flash's past was messed up, and Wells went back to fix it, by any means necessary.


What if it is a twist on Flashpoint Paradox? What if for some reason, Barry started loving with time, eventually culminating in saving his mom, which prompts Wells to go back in time and keep Barry on track to save the world, including preventing Barry from saving his mom and insuring that she dies?

:psyduck:

I'm just trying to reconcile how he can be trying to save the world and kill Barry's mom at the same time.

Maybe Barry's dad really did do it, Barry goes back and stops it and Wells went back to stop him from stopping it?

I know nothing about her but she certainly looks the part.

I'm not super impressed with her acting so far, but I'm cautiously optimistic here because I trust the arrow/flash people (they're the ones doing tge show, right?) and also she may just need a big role to stretch out with.
