Yeah they really need to do better for both women on this show tbh. Caitlin is supposed to be a brilliant scientist with an icy exterior who warms up when she cares about you. Not some starstruck girl who tells people with concussions to take naps.

I still have hope.. idk why.

Here is an advanced review: http://flashtvnews.com/the-flash-season-3-premiere-advance-review-flashpoint/25907

Interesting bits:
Barry Allen has almost everything he wants in this new world… except for one thing: Iris, who doesn’t really know him well in this altered reality, yet seems drawn to him in the same way he is to her. This season premiere might be one of the best uses of Candice Patton’s Iris in the series, giving her ample and deserved screen time as an important part of Barry Allen’s life (or lives). In a world of unreality, Iris seems to offer Barry a dose of reality, and I like that The Flash recognizes that Iris (and Candice) are an integral part of this story.

What else is there to say? Joe West in the Flashpoint world is a shell of the Joe we know; also, there is a surprise guest appearance that I don’t think has been spoiled yet. I hope it is not spoiled because it had me grinning from ear to ear. And, yes, Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally is Kid Flash and the costume looks really cool – though his frequent blurring is a little distracting. If the mask doesn’t hide his face enough, then maybe he needs a better mask.


I'm choosing to believe that Barry will undo the new world because he's a bloodthirsty monster he needs Iris to be his "sister" because that is his kink.

Now let's talk about season 3. I hope Iris gets a good journalism arc and serves up some of this! 💘😍

Please writers give her something to do besides being Barry's cheerleader #5 and being his love interest

AAAAAAAAANYWAY since it's a given that Bary will kill metahumans to sate the speedforce-fueled bloodlust that courses through his veins, what percentage of the metahumans this season will survive the encountering the blood-red blur?

The survivors, if any, may wish they were dead when the alternative is STAR labs solitary even though Iron Heights can hold metas now

So Mirror Master got his power because he was on a mirror when the explosion occurred. I guess he was lucky he wasn't taking a dump when it happened.

Should've gone with cowboy Wells. :colbert:

Mornil posted:

I wouldn't be surprised if Julian's girlfriend winds up being Alchemy (and Julian is the one who ultimately plays a key role in defeating her). The mention of a previously unknown girlfriend seemed too forced for her to not wind up being important in the end.

She'll also probably wind up being a new version of Patti. In S2 she was already a big fan of Barry's metahuman-related case reports before she ever met him in person; in this new timeline those case reports probably would have been written by Julian instead?

Surprise twist: Julian's girlfriend is Patty :twisted:

The beatdown that Savitar gave Barry wasn't nearly as brutal as the one that Zoom gave him last season.

Thankfully Caitlin was there with the verbal beatdown :v:

I love that Wally doesn't need a suit for friction or whatever. I bet the writers forgot. Or maybe he is the prodigal son of the speedforce and he doesn't gotta explain poo poo.

Diggle still owning.

Scyantific posted:

Diggle is easily the best part of the crossover already.

:yeah:

Ahahahahah Sara trying to give Barry poo poo about changing the timeline.

I love that Barry didn't clown all the humans in like 0.1 seconds. Thankfully the dominators are stupid and took all the most worthless members of the team for the Arrow episode.

Dig and Kara are clearly the best in the show.

The team up next year can be Kara, Dig and Mick doing stuff. Maybe Wally too if he turns out to be interesting.

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.

Iris should just move to Star City. The Arrow team could actually use an investigative journalist. She would have a reason to exist in the plot beyond being a love interest.

Send her to National City so she can be a terrible reporter like Kara was and get fired.

Snapper Carr don't take no poo poo.
