B: "Oh no I can't stop these tornados or whatever" I: "Barry, I don't know what your timeline's Iris is like, but I have this feeling that she'd give you a pep talk right now." B: *runs really fast* Spergatory posted:Wally turning his back on his super-fast enemy was double-stupid, Barry doing the exact same thing even after he saw Wally get got was triple stupid. It really was a pretty dumb episode, probably the best thing about it was Thawne. I liked the whole "Am I kidnapped?" exchange with Caitlin too.

Where did Barry take Iris on their date, and subsequently leave her? I thought it was a pretty good episode, but I like Wells and Jessie a lot. Although it sucked that Jessie was given her costume, but didn't get to wear it. Next week, I guess. Are they sticking around for a while?

He seems to have made pretty much everyone elses outside of the Legends cast and that seems entirely because they have an outfit machine.  but Agents of SHIELD.

The scene of Savitar killing Iris is going to be the new Reverse Flash killing Norah Allen, in terms of how complicated it's going to get.

idk I'm not digging the Killer frost stuff. If it was just something in Caitlin's head I'd like it better. It makes no sense (speedforce.png) that she turns evil for no reason. Also did they actually explain where her powers came from? Was it just a delayed effect from the original Particle Accelerator explosion?

Coyote Ugly posted:Is it just me seeing this or do they try to give Caitlyn some kind of romantic interest each season, only to have it blow up in her face. I could see her hooking up with Julian. He's grown on me as a character as I assumed he'd just be a throwaway antagonist for the 3rd season as Dr. Alchemy. But I kind of hope they keep him around. He's like their cynical dick character that they haven't had in awhile since the first Wells.

Yeah it was kind of annoying that whatever Grodd had seemed to completely neutralise Cisco's powers, but only seemed to prevent Barry from phasing. I guess it was a problem where they wanted to have Barry fight Solovar with powers, but it still seems kind of dumb. Also the whole "Caitlin, your powers probably work! You should use them to kill Cisco!" was just completely

Barry is also a massive gently caress-up and is likely to somehow destroy the multiverse while simply attempting to go to another Earth.

It felt like the Speed Force was laying a serious guilt trip on Barry over Eddie's death. I mean, Barry's done a lot of terrible poo poo but he didn't create Reverse Flash or actively make him hate him and want to murder him as a child or whatever. But yeah that episode was kind of bad. The relationship drama turned up to 11, some of the Speed Force stuff making very little sense and people just generally acting dumb. I wish they'd written an actual reason for Jessie having to face off against Savitar (like he came to retrieve the piece of the suit or something. ANYTHING would have been better.) because as it stood I was basically just screaming at her for being stupid throughout the fight. I like the characters but the writing just feels so lazy sometimes.

Aside from the Killer Frost stuff, which is dragging on somewhat painfully long, the only storyline which Caitlin has really had in the almost 3 seasons has basically been doomed romances. I doubt Tom Felton will be sticking around after this season so he's either going to turn evil, die or both. She really hasn't had any other stories developed, has she? I mean, they introduced her mother this season but it was also in the context of her Killer Frost subplot, and wasn't really developed further. Cisco has at least had a couple of short romance subplots, plus his sotryline involving Dante, and his continuing relationships with different versions of Harrison Wells, and developing his Vibe powers. I really feel like the writers are dropping the ball with Caitlin's character. I mean, at this point Jesse is probably a better developed character.STAC Goat posted:I think current Snart is a pretty fair representation of how he was back when he started before he made his "no bodies" deal with Barry, or did any of his family stuff, or bonded with the Legends. Original Snart was a killer, which is part of why Barry made that deal in the first place. STAC Goat posted:Yeah, I mean Mick's an interesting guy because he's clearly deeply damaged not only from his upbringing but from his run as Chronos (when they remember that).

I don't mind relationship drama (although there is a LOT of it in CW shows), I just wish they'd give some characters other development outside of it.

Patty was ok but her story and departure were kind of weirdly abrupt. I liked Barry and Felicity.  But maybe they only really had chemistry in a "We both have unrequited love for someone, we should just settle and get together" kind of way.

Comics are awesome. The big problem with this season is the whole future knowledge bullshit. It never works well and is never written well. It's pretty much dominating every interaction with Iris and making her completely one-dimensional. As someone mentioned, it's made the show lose a lot of the monster-of-the-week stuff which made Season 1 entertaining.

This season of Arrow has a fairly original (or at least re-purposed) villain so it's not like Flash can't do the same. I guess the problem is that most regular people should be no match for Barry, but the writers have never had a problem with making Barry pretty incompetent and in need of a pep talk whenever it suited the script.

" 4. Barry trying and failing to phase.

It's so annoying to me that Barry got absolutely chumped by Top and Mirror Master not once but twice in the same episode. The first time, yeah, he was somewhat taken by surprise. The second time though, he goes there specifically to take them on. It's just really lazy writing having him seem completely incompetent to present a challenge. Also the "reveal" (or lack thereof) at the end was so stupid. The rest of the episode was pretty good, the whole aspect of getting the band back together was nice, although it felt a bit cheap since it was resolved by just abducting everyone. Wally's situation was pretty sad though.  Also if Barry can just travel back in time when he wants, why did he need Wally to help him travel forward in time in the first place? e: Also they probably won't bring back Ronnie, Savitar is probably Julian, keeping with the theme of "We have to kill of Caitlin's love interest every season". irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Apr 27, 2017 |
