The Flash [** Spoilers ** ==> US pace]

spektorfive

Thanks, guys. Suppose it was an ok pay off. Devoe takedown of the A.R.G.U.S
unit was fantastic, especially for T.V. budget.

Clearly going in a new direction with Wally's new Flash costume

Looks like something an alien would wear in the original Star Trek series.

Mr E

No idea what's happening here, but it looks good.

Was his career stalled and ruined by Scientology and Tom Cruise over Katie Holmes

CastorTroy

But sure. Last film of his I remember was the one where Heather Graham cut his ear off

Agent Coulson

Returns Tuesday night in the States.

Returns 18th October at 8pm on Sky1

Mr E

Good start to the season. Nora is as likable as her dad.

It's hard to take Chris Klein seriously as a bad guy though. I've only ever seen him play nice guys.

I had to stop watching this when it got to the midway point of last season. Same as Arrow. I tried to start Arrow again 2 weeks ago but felt like shoving arrows in my eyes and ears.

Is Iris still running the show?

CastorTroy

Crap! Forgot this was back. Already have Lethal Weapon, The Purge and The Gifted for the same day.

I'm in two minds whether to stick with it: every time it seemed like The Flash had got its act together, and over its worse impulses, the show fell back into the same old patterns of laziness across the production.

RobbingBandit

Name dropped quite a few characters and then the crisis drop too could be an interesting year of DC tv what with the character development planned during the crossover it really does key up a very significant event in the near future of the shows.

CastorTroy

I think I'll give Arrow and Flash until the crossover then decide whether to keep watching

RobbingBandit

I'm expecting arrow to be very slow start as usual really but yeah I'll probably do the same might have to start watching Supergirl though too just to get prepared for the crossover.

Agent Coulson

Even Nora hates Iris.

Blazer

More meh. Not a good start. I already gave up on the arrow 2 seasons ago and this might be far behind as well. How can they still be doing time travel stories knowing it ruins basically every show that does it with the exception of Star Trek, T2 and one or two others.

Taltos

Stopped watching Arrow half way through last season along with Super Girl.
Flash, I’ve hopes for this season but I’m worried that they are going to retread the same old ground. Already they are setting Barry up for another confrontation with Iris and the team. Like Nora but the big bad in this season - nope not doing it for me.

Clareman

Sorry Nora but you are Max from Black Sails to me.

Which reminds me, I must watch Black Sails again, for, *ahem* research.

Penn

Watched the first episode. It was okay. Nora seems like a good character and could work well with the show. Ralph did grow on me a bit towards the end of last season and was good in this episode.

I just especially don't know if I can stomach another season of Iris and Caitlin. Iris is boring and frustrating and even Killer Frost couldn't make Caitlin interesting, not to mention how badly she was acted. Joe is wasted, Harry is gone (and probably a new version of him this season, not sure what they're doing with him), Wally seems to be off to find himself for another year (you have superspeed, how have you not found you yet?) and Cisco still tends to be wasted in terms of using his powers.

But at the same time, I've just lost a lot of interest in these shows I think. I enjoyed Black Lightning last season but don't know if I'll bother this season. Legends of Tomorrow is probably the only one I'll stick with religiously, and I'll check out the crossover and see what Batwoman is like. The others I might wait for a few episodes to build up then binge as opposed to watching week after week.

pixelburp

I loved The Flash at the start, and the start of Season 4 felt most like those first episodes but as the seasons have ticked over, it has shown itself as one of the most creatively constipated shows on TV, either incapable or just afraid of shaking up its own formula. Heck, it took 3 seasons before it even summoned the bravery to NOT have a speedster villain. The villains of the week are completely rote and half the time feel purely lazy now - halfassed FX whizzing about while someone in a biker jacket glowers - bookending tedious dramatic handwringing from Barry.

Hmm, if the women on this show acted like the women on Black Sails, there may be less complaints about the amount of screen time they get.
But yeah seeing her act all happy and innocent on this show is like seeing Shaw relatively helpless on Reverie.

Not sure what the deal is between Nora and Iris, since she seems to have a great relationship with the rest of the family.
It does mean we know the West family is safe enough for a while yet.

First episode was grand and mostly lighthearted for now.

Mr E

Average episode with a decent ending this week.

connemara man

Even Nora hates the team flash Craic " go team Allen West" heavy eyeroll
