US: The Flash (2014)

[Kyo]

Now that was a brilliant episode. This series goes from strength to strength, who would have through it would have been better than arrow at this stage. I think I actually prefer the flash and the arrow though when they are in the others show This is all going to be very confusing if you don't watch all of the shows though, too many crossovers!

Hit the nail on the head mate, absolutely fantastic. The acting and storyline really came together and ended on a strong note. Like you I prefer the Flash to Arrow, although I still think heatwave and captain cold portrayal still too goofy and cheesy for my liking. Other than that it really brought the comic book material to the screen.

Lastly yeah it a comic book ploy as it makes you buy more comics, whereas this instance makes you watch more shows

I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure she mentioned Cisco making it for her in Arrow.

Your right mate. It was Cisco that created the gizmo on the condition Laural took a full costume pic with him. Lol

good series so far,
how did Well's manage to get all that power at the end to fight Barry? They made it clear that he was only fast due to the charger in his chair.

The show did a fantastic job on touching the speed force and simplifying to the comics. Basically I think Barry more in tune with the speed force than Thawne possibly because he was out of time although Reverse still seem to be faster and fighting better than Barry. I not go too much into it to avoid potential spoilers

Doesn't erasing Eobard Thawne from history also mean that Barry never becomes the Flash etc etc, or are we doing the alternate timeline thing?

You could be right but if I think the show is heading in the direction I think is is heading there could be a way for him to come back.

Spoiler

Remenber Eddie's body got sucked into the wormhole

I liked Cisco's "so long and thanks for all the fish" line.

Good final, pity it had to end in a cliff hanger it would have been nice to have a cap end to the season with obviously leaving lose threads to pick up next season.

I guess I echo what others have said what could have been another smallville has turned into a good show, the fact that there were always moving the story along, that it always revealed things at a constant rate and that they didn't draws things out really help the flow of the show.

 

[Skeeter]

Well that was pretty good. Eddies moment came as a surprise. I know a guy who knows a guy whos friends with the actor playing Eddie. A tenuous link I know but I should be able to find out if he's been asked to come back for series 2.

The only downer is that a while after watching it I realised its basically the same as the first Avengers movie .

Spoiler

I assumed they used his wheelchair's future power source to power that little time-travel bubble car thingymajig, and in doing so he was able to charge up so to speak.

Also, decent SFX for a TV show too.

 

[Martini1991]

Surely Eddie changed the future by just being with Iris etc?
Not just that, I'm confused with the timelines.
Reverse Flash says he was born like a 100 years later, why are Iris and Barry still kicking about ?

 

[NexusK]

Both Caitlin and Cisco are getting powers next season so now that you mention that they probably have plans to turn Iris into god knows what at some point too. Barry has super healing so i imagine that gives him a long life.

Edit - doh, the newspaper article Wells had was only dated 2024. I don't think he ever said iris and barry were alive when he was born a hundred years later.

 

[Begbie]

Why the hell did he not ask more questions when he was locked up?

Why would anyone be happy with that.

 

[Jester*]

Good finale, the series really ended on a high for me.

Haha that is true. I'd have asked how reverse flash got his powers, do they hand them out freely in the future or did he blow up another accelerator that gave him powers after Barry? Or did he get his powers at the same time as Barry. Doesn't make sense that he did as he's so much farther in the future than Barrys '2024' timeline.

Arrg time travel mind games.

So, Reverse Flash just went back in time to start hating on Barry and fight him

What an emo.

But again, with Eddie living a difference path with Iris, since Barrys life had changed, surely Reverse Flash had already prevented his own existence?

You already saw Caitlin as Killer Frost when Barry was doing the whole time-tunnel thing:

[Begbie]

I thought the reverse flash was from 100 years in the future?

How are him and the flash mortal enemies? Why didn't the flash ask him this? Why didn't he ask him how he became the flash without this accident in the first place? Why didn't he ask him why they are enemies? How is he faster than him (or it looked it when he was kicking his head in), when he can't even open a time portal? Why did he lose his powers when he killed barrys mum?

Some dumb writting on this show, but I can't help but like it :/

So are we expecting the return of the reverse flash? Did Eddie going through the black hole/portal/time hole thing cause him to heal? And maybe in the future and now he gets angry, decides he hates Barry and becomes the reverse flash?

 

[J.T]

Why the hell did he not ask more questions when he was locked up?

Why would anyone be happy with that.

I think the correct question would be why the heck didn't they just ask Gideon about everything...

 

[ZXSpectrum]

I shouted at the screen "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GET THE SNIP?".

I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way

 

[NexusK]

I thought the reverse flash was from 100 years in the future?

How are him and the flash mortal enemies?

He was. The newspaper article he was using to check if the timeline had altered was only from 10 years in the future.

I wouldn't put too much thought into all the time stuff or you'll go nuts. There will probably be even more of it in the spinoff seeing as RIP Hunter is basically the DC version of Doctor Who.

Do you really mean special/sound effects or do you mean visual effects? (SFX vs VFX).

 

[Shamikebab]

The only questionable thing to me was how Caitlin didn't know what a Singularity was as a scientist

She's a medical doctor not a physicist. You'd be surprised how dumb people can be once they are out of their own speciality.

Besides, shows like this always need someone to extrapolate to.

I did think the same thing when she said it but also thought the writers do have an awful lot of American's who wouldn't know what one is. Hell, they've only just understood The Flash can move at superspeed "man go fast and me no understand. Now where's sister, me horny" well that's how I imagine a lot of American's are in the face of science, albeit TV science.
