They’re not going to give Candice Patton a break, are they? Instead of Iris moping over Eddie and Barry, we getting Iris moping over her mother and possible half-brother. I’m willing to bet, though, that putative half-brother is going to be named “Wally”.
I’m sure Legends of Tomorrow is going to be awesome, but this whole setting up for that series is slowing down the pacing of The Flash as well as Arrow. I found myself not particularly caring about Jay Jackson and Firestorm; we’re going to be seeing more of them on the other series anyway.
The best part of this episode was the giant man-shark at the end. We should have gotten more of that.
The show-runners said King Shark was the most expensive 30 seconds of the episode, but they loved it too. Regarding Iris’ brother: His name is, indeed, Wally West.
So…wait. Is that Green Lantern’s Shark? Or another character? Because if it’s the GL one, Barry is in a LOT of trouble: A near Superman level flying tank, who’s a SHARK-OF-THE-FUTURE with mind-control, fear-projection and telepathy…AND an invisible yellow aura*? And now I want to see a Shark/Grodd teamup.
I thought it was cute that Jefferson Jackson is the new Firestorm (he was Ronnie’s buddy back in Firestorm #1 back in '77, but other than going on a few double dates with Ronnie and Doreen, he never did much), but why wasn’t it Jason Raush?
I’m getting so sick of Caitlin thinking with her vagina. She blew Barry’s identity to the obvious super-villain because she was hot for him, she slutted all over Jay last week…unless they’re going the “she becomes a man-hater” routine like the first Killer Frost was. Also, she’s still dressed stupidly for a lab. Look at Astrid on the old show “Fringe”. She’s at least a hundred times hotter than Caitlin and still manages to dress in a way that protects her from exposed wires and splattering chemicals.
I’m getting sick of the Legends of Tomorrow tie-in stuff as well. I want to watch “The Flash”, not “The Lead Up to the Obviously Doomed Justice League Wanna-Be” show.
*I’m totally serious. I also miss the silver age where you could say stuff like “invisible yellow aura” and people would just say “…ok”.
Fair call. Considering he’s walking round in plain clothes not running round in his yellow suit. Probably the earth 2 Harrison Wells who wasn’t killed and impersonated by Zoom like the earth 1 was.
I’m loving the fact that we’re getting this series and Arrow season 4 on pay tv at the same time as it airs in the states, beats the hell out of having to use torrents.
I started watching The Flash on Netflix last Wednesday and after a week of binge watching, I am finally caught up. This show is dumb and ridiculous and I absolutely love it because of that.
Anyway, I did have a question about an episode from last season. On the episode where they truck out all the bad guys and they all escape, one guy shoots laser beams out of his eyes. Who was that? I don’t remember Flash ever facing him.
Edward Current was once quite active portraying a true-believing Fundamentalist Christian on youtube.com. If you’ve seem his parodies, you know what I mean. I think at least some are still available.
Once he pronounced, quite solemnly, that God’s invisible face gets redder and redder with anger the more we sin.
That was Deathbolt, who appeared on a non-crossover Arrow episode. They didn’t have any facilities to contain metahumans in Starling City, so he was imprisoned at STAR Labs.
