So Barry can run so fast that he can stop tsunamis, run up buildings and travel through time.

However, give him a swarm of bees and he's fudged. Lol.

Yeah that bugged me (Apologies for the pun) We have seen him create a tornado before by running round in circles but he didn't think to do it to get rid of the bees?

Caseh · 20 Apr 2015 at 09:53

Yeah, that was the worst "mishap" so far.

its all coming to ahead soon.......

Caseh · 22 Apr 2015 at 18:30

I even hate Laurel in this :mad:

I do enjoy The Flash very much, my second favourite Law & Order detective is in it, he was second to his partner Briscoe, and I do like Tom Cavanagh but this episode annoyed me a little for something everyone's been saying. He could have easily beat the shape shifter but it too a few mins of him getting a beating before he injected him. Now if he were fighting meta humans with powers that's one thing but this guy didn't even have freeze or fire weapons fast, he had the fisticuffs of a normal person. I blame you lot for making me see it.

I still love it though

Go Cisco! Getting it on with laurel

Gotta admit her getting her canary cry is a bit of a let down. Here's this collar i whipped up in 2mins that's going to make you a more badass superhero than the green arrow.

Surely that alone isn't going to turn her from being awful to amazing?

ZXSpectrum · 22 Apr 2015 at 20:08

Nah because things like that don't happen all the time in comics.

You know what i meant, don't be sensible

It was actually semi serious, I never read any comics so I have absolutely no idea how good Black Canary is supposed to be

NexusK · 22 Apr 2015 at 20:22

I haven't read many either but i have heard of this thing called google

The Canary Cry is her signature move and the comic book fans can't seem to decide whether her or Batman would win in a fight!

That little grenade being changed to a choker is what makes her who she is. Hence the 'I just whipped this up in 2 mins' disappointment. I'd hoped it would be something more that could get me behind Laurel.

Barry has to be one of the most retarded superheroes going; the very man who he knows is a victim of the Everyman unexplainedly appears at his doorstep, no questions asked. And then, let's openly discuss our huge suspicion of Wells in the lab he works in and in a universe where people randomly sneak up and finish a sentence.

Well comic Black Canary is one of the best martial artists around even before the Canary Cry is consider and has fought Lady Shiva (generally considered to be the badass martial artist in DC) to a standstill several times, when they were paired together Ollie was the weak link.

Far cry from how they portray Laurel. And has Laurel even used that sound grenade thing? I remember Sara using it once but I can't think of Laurel actually using it

I think when the opening of pretty much every episode lately is either a VO or someone outright stating how much faster Barry is getting but he still gets his arse kicked by people with normal reflexes that's a given.

Anyone else notice how Eddie's surname 'Thawne' was repeatedly mentioned in this episode for the first time ever? Same name as Reverse flash, Eobard Thawne. Coincidence....I think not! (never read any comics so if this was already obvious please be nice).

In that scene where they had reverse flash trapped in the shield cage thing he also left Eddie unharmed when he killed all the other police.

MOOGLEYS · 22 Apr 2015 at 22:20

Eobard thawne is a distant relative of Eddies from the future.....

I think it was to drum it in to those who don't pay attention, in case they missed it.
