    The Flash - season 1

    The white circle is step in the right direction. I hope they continue to nudge it closer to the traditional look with the color being more red and less maroon. Boy does that picture really emphasize that Grant Gustin needs to bulk up his chest a bit. I mean, come on, he's in his early to mid...

    That was pretty great!

    The Flash - season 1

    It would have changed something. It would have made them look smarter. Which, considering many of he writing choices this season, would have been welcome. Of course the writers would have whatever they tried fail, but the point is that the characters (well, writers) didn't even try.

    The Flash - season 1

    Exactly. When they sedated them in Star Labs I thought "Ok, that's smart. They are sedating them. Something will probably go wrong, but they are at least making the attempt to keep these dangerous super-powered killers unconscious while moving them." Then when they showed them in the truck...

    The Flash - season 1

    No, see that's part of the problem I have with Snart. I think the intent was that Snart is such a formidable force with his freeze gun that Barry wanted him to "freeze the baddies" if they try to escape. And my issue with the character is that he just has a special gun, that anyone can use...

    The Flash - season 1

    And if they tried to keep them sedated during transport the whole affair woud have been much lower risk. But why would they do that since they were SURE nothing could go wrong with their plan? Oh wait, they were concerned that something could go wrong, which is why Barry jumped through all...

    The Flash - season 1

    I think he wanted him to freeze them with his freeze gun. Not sure why they are treating that as some sort of "skill" or ability of Snart's when Cisco could have just made another one. I guess Snart is just really good at aiming a freeze gun. My biggest issue was that they gassed the...

    The Flash - season 1

    I really enjoy this show, but it can be extremely frustrating. The biggest issues are the sometimes sloppy/lazy writing and the handling of Barry's one-on-one fights. As pointed out above, when the characters KNOW they are dealing with a shapeshifter yet don't get suspicious when someone...

    The Flash - season 1

    Yep, great episode! It's probably between this one and the first part of the time-travel episode for best of the season so far. I think I'd give it to this one since the latter was mostly undone. I'm also wondering how much of the real Wells has carried over into Eobard's new body? There...

    The Flash - season 1

    I think the only explanation you are going to get is that "time-travel Barry" took the place of "original Barry". I've never been a huge fan of that type of time-travel mechanics in fiction, but that is what they used. I thought that was shown at the end of the last episode (and set up at the...

    The Flash - season 1

    Great episode! Probably the best yet. It confirmed many suspicions and also revealed new information. Lots of big developments. And Cisco's realization of his fate and subsequent conversation with Wells was really well done. I thought time travel would possibly play into things, but for...

    The Flash - season 1

    Reverse Flash's light streak has been yellow, right? If so, it's interesting that Wells' light streak is red like Barry's. Is Wells using this "speed force" to temporarily allow him to walk? Until last night it seemed as though his paralysis was an act. But after last night it looks like he...

    The Flash - season 1

    So again, the Flash can zip around and avoid the blasts from these weapons and even run right by the two villains, but he can't run by and smash the guns out of their hands? And these two criminals are out in the open, in the street, with no hostages on site, with the police right there, but...

    The Flash - season 1

    But Wells also did the voice. So there is definitely "something" there. But I have no idea if they are one in the same, the same person but from different time periods, different people but related, or something else entirely. But the fact that Wells has knowledge of and access to future...

    The Flash - season 1

    I thought this was really cool. Superhero stuff, by its nature, is always going to be somewhat "Science Fiction" (which I like). Some heroes like Batman, Green Arrow, Blackwidow, Hawkeye, etc... who don't have powers can be portrayed in generally non-science fiction stories, but once...

    Yep. Good stuff.

    The Flash - season 1

    I also agree that Barry revealing his identity was a really bad idea for a few reasons. He has put himself and anyone he cares about at risk if Girder ever gets out. And revealing his identity to an enemy means that his identity could wind up being revealed to everyone. That he revealed his...

    Yes, as a temporary "holding facility" it is fine. But are they basically giving these criminals a life sentence of solitary confinement? I've also been wondering about how they are fed and what they use for a toilet.

    The Flash - season 1

    Not being consistent or logical with the use of Barry's speed really hurt this episode. I knew it would be a hurdle for the writers/directors from the start, but hoped they'd figure this out and be smarter about it. But they were very, very lazy with this episode. Disappointing.

    The Flash - season 1

    I don't know who he is. He seems to be from the future or at least has access to future knowledge (and maybe tech). Seems he knew the explosion would occur and actually went to his secret room to watch Barry become the Flash, like he took the opportunity to observe what was (from his...

    The Flash - season 1

    Being a speedster is cool, yet proposes dramatic problems. In terms of writing, how do you put your protagonist in danger and give them challenges when they can almost stop time because they move so fast? I'll say that I think writers certainly CAN do that, but it has to be difficult to write...

    The Flash - season 1

    Yeah, they need to work on the "power logic" and be consistent. That kind of stuff takes you out of an otherwise enjoyable experience. I chalked it up to his performance anxiety.

    The Flash - season 1

    I understand your point, but I don't think there really needs to be much (if any) actual story crossover. Just being part of the same universe with the occasional tip of the hat to acknowledge that is enough.

    The Flash - season 1

    Personally, I'd prefer one universe that bridges movies and television. I understand that it is much more difficult to pull that off, but having things connected is part of the appeal (at least for me). For some, there's a feeling like the movies "count" while a TV show is just a "TV show". So...

    I second that notion.Edit: looks like they already got it.

    I also thought this was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the long haired science guy/assistant who looks like he's 14. This seems like it could be a fun, entertaining show. I like the time travel element that was introduced as well.
