The shocking moment of this episode is the fact that Wells took his mask off for Eiling and was in sight and telepathic range of Grodd but nothing happened, which means Grodd Knows who Wells really is OR it was a writing Gaff like the many in this episode:

1) Barry using his speed in front of The Professors Wife unmasked.
2) Firestorms clothes NOT burning when he ignites!!! :angry:
3) Hell Barry in the last several episodes running in regular clothes and HIS own clothes not being scorched!!! For fucksake the first time he used his speed his shoes and clothes burnt, when he ran with Felicia her shirt burned...but now he walks around with A P-coat and its friction-proof?? Then Outruns an Explosion with Caitlyn and her clothes are untouched? :angry:

Naw...but for real though....i agree. When he went to get that pizza I was like..."OK...is she in the secret identity club now too?"

At this point I'm just doing most of this ---->
:dunno:

Maybe the writing will tighten up.....who knows?

1) I figured the wife could be trusted with his secreat. Her husband was just in some one's else body and could ignite himself on fire. She ain't telling shit to anybody.

2) Well it's his head and hands that's ignites into flames.:hmm:

3) :dunno:

They should take a page from Marvel's Shield and do 10 weeks straight, break with Agent Carter, then 12 weeks straight, no interrupting.

Flash went on break in December,came back at the end of January...showed four episode and now will be gone for another month......:hmm:



With that said,its going to be interesting,how Wells get caught....

1) Barry using his speed in front of The Professors Wife unmasked.

They needed her help to convince Firestorm to surrender willingly. Barry revealing his secret identity helped quite alot in gaining her absolute trust & respect to accomplish the task at hand. Plus, she can never reveal the Flash's true identity to anyone without putting her own Husband's identity at risk as well. :smh:

- "Hey Guess what... Barry Allen is the Flash"
- "Really? How do YOU know that?"

(** crickets **)

:rolleyes:

2) Firestorms clothes NOT burning when he ignites!!! :angry:

Firestorm has power over fire and heat, and could alter the atomic structure of (inorganic) objects.
His entire body does NOT get set ablaze like the Human Torch. Just his fists & his head.

Safe to say he can control the direction & intensity of fire and heat, and even ensure that his clothes do not catch fire with his ability to manipulate the very atoms & molecules of the fabrics he’s wearing.


3) Hell Barry in the last several episodes running in regular clothes and HIS own clothes not being scorched!!! Now he walks around with A P-coat and its friction-proof?? He only ran a few blocks to find a pizza shop. :rolleyes:

Then Outruns an Explosion with Caitlyn and her clothes are untouched? :angry:

He only ran 30 miles in a matter of seconds.
Were you expecting her clothes to ignite after such a short distance? I wasn't. :smh:

For fucksake the first time he used his speed his shoes and clothes burnt, when he ran with Felicia her shirt burned...

Pretty sure the distance from the outskirts of Center City all the way to Starlabs was more than 30 miles. Maybe that’s why she caught fire. :rolleyes:

OR maybe that whole scene was just used as a blatant opportunity to give the 'male viewers' some ‘eye-candy’ and see Felicity take her shirt off :cool:… so they needed to give her 'a quick reason’ to do so, that fits into the storyline.

But more importantly, in Episode 1, looks like you just completely ignored this question….

“To understand what I am about to tell you… YOU need to do something FIRST… YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE. Can you do that? Good.”

Ironically, these are the VERY FIRST words ever spoken by Barry Allen, in the VERY FIRST 10 SECONDS of the entire damn series. :rolleyes:

But yet here you are… complaining about such minor details. :smh:



If you CAN 'believe in the impossible'... then why would a minor detail like... their clothing not catching on fire... be such a big issue? :dunno:

Just curious.

playboy, you makin excuses for sloppy writing lets not do that. They got a damn good show, good enough for all of us to watch and good enough for us to take the time to write about it...but lets not make excuses for the writers. At the end of the day I don't want to "Believe in the impossible" when its convenient for the writers...I want to accept fiction for fiction but not excuse lazy writing.

Did you forget why they made that suit in the first place? Do you remember what that suit is supposed to NOT do as a result of his speed? If the answer to that is yes then there is no excuse for him using the speed force the way he does in regular clothes and not have them ignite...and im talking about running distances not putting on ornaments of cleaning up...any regular human sprinting hard for even a short amount of time in jeans will feel the burn between their legs and on the jeans themselves...so you sayin this dude runs at the speed of sound and faster and his clothes should be the same as if he just jogged around the block? I dunno...

That's not what I'm saying at all. :smh:

I'm saying that these MINOR missteps are not as big a deal as you making it out to be. :smh:

The show writers set-up the MAJOR 'plot point' of his clothes catching fire to give the audience some general 'perspective' as to how fast he can go. :yes:

But the majority of viewers don't need to be 'spoon fed' this attention to detail every single time he takes off & starts running anywhere. :smh:

So the writers used that 'plot point' again to get a sexy chic to take her shirt off. Once.

But running to the pizza shop is a minor event.

And running just 30 miles to escape the blast radius of an explosion is a minor event. (In terms of his overall top speed & true power)

However, running fast enough to literally create a vacuum, or reverse an F5 tornado is a MAJOR event. (In terms of his overall top speed & true power)

So yes... I agree... I would expect to see his outfit ignite if he did it while wearing normal 'street clothes'.

But I don't need to see every single person's clothes 'catch fire'... every single time that he picks someone up and carries them offscreen somewhere. :rolleyes:

Maybe you do.

But that doesn't mean that it's 'sloppy writing'. :smh:

It just means that the writers don't want to OVERUSE that 'plot point' which might bore the audience (or become 'predictable' & stale) if we see it happen every. single. episode.

When it happens... it's just a cool 'reminder' that he CAN go that fast :yes:....
But it doesn't have to be a 'strict rule' that MUST always happen. :smh:

It's just a tv show. :rolleyes:

So the writers use a little bit of 'creative license' here & there to keep the 'weekly tv audience' entertained...... instead of getting constantly caught up in all the minor details that 'hardcore comic fans' obsess over.

That's all.

I'm amused at a debate over the authenticity of supernatural physics.

How does Grodd have telekinesis without a PhD ?

When Ronnie merges with Dr Stein why doesn't his hair turn grey ?

Why doesn't the reverse flash run backwards to time travel ?

How does Captain Cold enjoy hot pockets ?

‘The Flash’ Teases ‘Flashpoint’, ‘Arrow’ Hints At Major Changes At PaleyFest

f15c16fa109ba7f0da6f1415daf8b56c


Fans hoping for big spoilers about upcoming The Flash and Arrow episodes during this afternoon’s PaleyFest panels might have been disappointed, as cast and producers on both shows were adamant – often excruciatingly so – about keeping mum on future developments. But hints and innuendos during both panels suggested huge twists and more crossovers between the two shows, and in the case of The Flash, the adaptation of one of DC Entertainment‘s biggest comic events for the small screen.

First up, the Arrow panel, where moderator Aisha Tyler kept the conversation focused on character and generally hilarious during the Arrow panel. That was thanks in part to Malcolm Merlyn actor John Barrowman, who alternated between trenchant observation and zings. He confirmed, for instance, that his character would have preferred to have Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) as a son rather than Tommy Merlyn, (who died during the season 1 finale but returns in periodic flashbacks). Shortly after, he joked that he’d love to see his character paired off with the cocktail waitress mother of Arrow ally Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards).

As for what to expect when Arrow returns this week, after a two-week hiatus, Oliver Queen had just been asked by Season 3 villain Ra’s al Ghul to take over leadership of the League of Assassins. According to star Stephen Amell, Oliver may be accepting that offer. When the show returns, Arrow will take stock of what he’s accomplished in the two and half years since returning to Starling City, and realize he’s disappointed by the results. “That makes being the idea of being the person who commands the League of Assassins in any way that he sees fit really appealing,” he said. Not that there might be a choice in the matter. “It’s an offer in name only,” Amell said, adding that “If Oliver says no, there will be dire consequences.”

0ca09670b426cffab94cd61c13e521c2


It was also revealed that the characterization of Oliver Queen/Arrow will be changed drastically by season’s end, with a more “defeated” and “introspective” interpretation going into future seasons. Among other reveals, confirmation came that (no surprise) Felicity Smoak will be appearing in another crossover with The Flash.

Speaking of The Flash, that panel was adorable, with the actors barely distinguishable from the characters they play, and the audience full of a surprising number of little kids, demonstrating the show’s cross-generational appeal. It was also even more tightlipped than the Arrow panel. Throughout the discussion, the panelists – stars Grant Gustin (“Barry Allen/The Flash”, Jesse L. Martin (“Det. Joe West”), Tom Cavanagh (“Dr. Harrison Wells”), Candice Patton (“Iris West”), Rick Cosnett (“Det. Eddie Thawne”), Danielle Panabaker (“Dr. Caitlin Snow”), Carlos Valdes (“Cisco Ramon”), along with executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg – fell all over each other to avoid giving even a hint of what to expect when the show returns on March 17.

3996a64bd7df158e493e0d1f5d7b0c0d


Even so, questions from Tyler and from members of the audience prompted a few surprises. Asked by one fan if there were plans to dig even deeper into DC Comics lore for plots on the show, Kreisberg hemmed and hawed a bit, before saying “There’s a fairly big Flash storyline from the comics that were going to tackle in the future.”

Make your own bets, but odds are high he’s talking about “Flashpoint”, a 5-issue miniseries from 2011 that DC used to reboot its entire lineup, heavily speculated as possible since The Flash‘s premier last fall. In it, the timeline is changed drastically, with Barry Allen’s deceased mother now alive, his father never having been framed for her murder, and the DC universe suffering as superpower factions exist in a state of almost permanent war. Barry retains his memories from before history was altered, and is forced to go back in time to fix things, with mixed results.

That ties into themes already introduced in the CW series, particularly involving the supervillain Reverse Flash. Whether or not this adaptation would impact events on Arrow or the as yet-unannounced super hero team up spinoff featuring Brandon Routh’s A.T.O.M. is far from clear, but it’s interesting to see, yet again, how the Arrow/The Flash production team continues to work around the restrictions placed on them by Warner Bros. preventing them from using Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman.

Also of interest, Kreisberg and Berlanti did confirm one huge tidbit: plans are in place during Season 2 to add two important characters from the Flash comic mythos into the tv series. Asked whether Bart Allen or Wally West, both of whom have alternately operated as The Flash in the comics, will appear, Berlanti said “That’s our hope. If we’re going to be doing something like, we’d do it” in Season 2.

The Flash Is About To Make A Major Change To A Key Character

There are some spoilers for upcoming episodes of The Flash ahead! Now's a great time to turn back if you want to remain surprised. Everyone still here? Alright, let's go.

To many TV viewers watching The Flash, Eddie Thawne has been an all-around good guy during Season 1, serving as Joe West’s partner and Iris West’s boyfriend. Among hardcore comic book fans, however, there has been speculation about whether Eddie will eventually go down the same path as his comic book namesake Eobard Thawne, better known as the supervillain Professor Zoom. Aside from his brief stint trying to capture Flash last winter, Eddie has been an ally to the Scarlet Speedster, but new footage released shows that the handsome detective will be going down a dark path quite soon.

Before The Flash’s panel began yesterday at Paley Fest, a trailer was shown for upcoming episodes, and one of the scenes showed Eddie approaching two cops and shooting them point-blank. Unless these are two corrupt officers that just set an orphanage on fire, this scene unsubtly shows that the nice guy we’ve gotten to know since October is about to undergo a major personality change. Actor Rick Cosnett was hesitant to comment on his character’s upcoming arc during the panel aside from saying that things will “unravel” and fans will be surprised what happens to him. Yeah, I’d say killing two cops seemingly in cold blood is awfully surprising.

EW speculates that this abrupt shift could be the result of tinkering around with time travel, which lines up with what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said about episodes coming up.

There are episodes coming up where there is concern of certain events being changed in the past [that] would affect who people are and their relationships with each other. If the past changes, does the present change as well?​

If Barry is successful traveling back to the past, perhaps he accidentally alters something that changes Eddie’s personality in the present. There is also a scene in the trailer where Barry confronts his feelings for Iris, which soon after results in Eddie punching him in the face. Could a scorned heart be another reason he turns to the dark side?

It was only natural for comic book fans suspect Eddie turning into a villain when he shares the same last name as one of Barry Allen’s greatest nemeses in the comics. In “The Man in the Yellow Suit,” it was revealed that Harrison Wells was indeed the Reverse-Flash. However, it’s not uncommon in the Flash mythos to have more than one person take on a specific identity. The PaleyFest clip doesn’t confirm that Eddie will become another Reverse-Flash, but it doesn’t hurt the theory, either. Let’s not forget how the yellow-clad speedster stared at Eddie for a few seconds in the midseason finale. Also, remember that the blood sample Cisco and Joe found at Barry’s old house didn’t match Wells’. So while Wells may be the Reverse-Flash that Barry fought in December, Eddie might have been the Reverse-Flash that killed Barry’s mother…or will kill her. Time travel is complicated.

The Flash returns with new episodes this Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

I don't get how you enjoy the show when all you do is post spoilers from blogs, you pretty much know what's going to happen before it airs on tv. Where is the fun in that?

Great episode tonight with the reveal that Wells is Eobard Thawne. Iris finds out Barry is the flash & confessed her love to him. Eobard Thawne killed Cisco. The biggest plot point is that they have an alternate time line that everything is all undone in the episode. I think that Barry will stay in the previous time line. I can't se them leaving Cisco dead and from the previews Barry & Iris will confess their feeling for each other pushing Eddie to now have a hatred for Barry.

not really, the ending was a nice surprise but everything else was meh

C'mon Son. :hmm: Stop hating.

The very first 5 minutes of tonight's episode (#15).... turned the clock ALL THE WAY back to the beginning of the entire series..... episode 1.

And we get to see how a 2nd 'Weather Wizard' got his powers (from his point of view). :yes:

(15 episodes deep... and we revisit episode #1.... Nobody saw that coming. :smh:)

This episode just even got better from there.

Because by the end of the episode.... they turned the clock back AGAIN to the beginning of the current episode when Barry unlocks 'time travel'. :cool:

They really hit a homerun with that 'time travel' double metaphor. :yes:

Guess you missed it. :rolleyes:
