I'm losing interest quickly.

This for sure, particularly as I was so impressed with it after the first season.

I'm starting to think DC has really dropped the ball here. I'm 2nd episode in on season 2 and it just seems like everything that made season 1 good has suddenly stopped working.

The absense of Wells in the first episode of the new series was very apparent - he seemed to be the one that kept the likes of Cisco from going as OTT as he has since been.

Arrow hasn't been doing it for me either but see what second episode tonight brings... hopes are not high.

Actually glad I've started to get into AoS now.

I am surprised that no one has commented on the latest episode! I thought it was fantastic and the shock character reveal was brilliant! Very well done..

Was a great episode I'm enjoying The Flash more than Arrow now which tbh has gone a bit silly. Gotham is still my favourite with The Flash and iZombie a joint second....

ZXSpectrum · 29 Oct 2015 at 10:21

I love both to be honest and Gotham. Very different in many ways. I watched the first ep of iZombie but couldn't get into it.

The last episode was hit and miss for me, I loved the bits about firestorm, Patty and that ending :eek:

but why did we need all that about Francine. I can take a pretty good guess why Francine has been introduced but IMO it feels like it is going the way of Arrow and having too many characters.

Arrow is a mess of characters they seem to be bringing everyone back.

I have a feeling that the Francine bit was to open the door for Wally West.

Yeah, as soon as Francine said about her son I think it became obvious Wally will be introduced at some point. I can't see Francine being it to much but we already have Barry, Jay, Wells is now back, impending introduction of Wally, Cisco becoming Vibe, Patty as the new love interest and I can't see Killer Frost being too far off either. Maybe Flash will work better with everyone in it but Arrow doesn't so it is a concern

I have a feeling that wells is a bonafied good guy in the other dimension. He has kept a low profile till now as he is aware of the trouble that the Wells of the current dimension has caused and is trying to atone for it or just trying to help.

I see they are doing the slow build up again, also any one else not trust Spivot?

Gman · 29 Oct 2015 at 18:43

for me if you take out the endings of each episode its been a bit slow but they keep throwing in the big reveals and you suddenly think yep good episode that.

Too busy checking out her bum tbh

Loved it, especially the nice little twist on the ending, usual Barry "all is well" voice over and the real ending.

And I agree with the above about Wells, they're making him look ridiculously sinister so far and if my years of watching tv have taught me anything it's that he'll be a good guy.

Just seen the teaser for the next episode, looks like it's going to be very interesting =)

I'm hoping this season will start to cut the cast down a bit.

Sarah is off to Legends of Tomorrow, along with Atom, Firestorm, CC and HW, so those characters could be relegated to cameos. It has been hinted at that one big character from Arrow is going to be killed off this season, with the most likely candidates being Felicity or Diggle. Given Nyissa appears to have destroyed the Lazarus Pit, whoever dies is unlikely to return.

I'd be happy if they could streamline Arrow down to Oliver, Felicity and Thea for a season (with the odd cameo) TBH.

latest epp is ok but ...

There's only so many time Barry can come up against someone, fail miserable, then cower in a corner needing support from the guys back in star labs. :rolleyes:

I mean come on he's fast enough to run and create several mirages of himself bang in front of her to "distract" her yet he's incapable of just running up and hitting her or taking her down from behind. :eek:

garrrrr so frustrating.

Uncle Petey · 4 Nov 2015 at 22:20

^I thought the same thing. It's not like fighting her is any different to taking out someone with a gun.
Btw, you don't need spoiler tags to discuss things in the episode that's just been aired

Wonder what Grodd's been up to while all this is going on?

MOOGLEYS · 4 Nov 2015 at 22:28

Tbh if flash can travel near light speed we are talking 186,000 miles p/s I doubt anything could stop him or be a real threat....

Would be a bit boring though.... :-)

I wonder why Doctor Light stopped using that really effective attack all of a sudden

?
