yep, agreed. I Wasnt sure what to think of him at first, but he turned out rather cool!

I'm glad Iris' fear of having kept the secret a while was unfounded. I'm pretty tired of characters getting butthurt over lies of omission (that have very good reasons) in just about every superhero show on the air. Characters being childish and petty rarely makes for good drama.

One of my favorite portrayals in this show is Joe West.
I love how this show is making "being good" cool again.
The anti hero thing is played out.

Well, I got to the trickster episode. It's SOOO Much better when they avoid the crossover stuff and just goes to show why I love this series.

It's funny. I don't care about the race switching for iris and joe so much, because I don't know those characters as well. but any time I see this wally west, it just doesn't seem like wally to me. once you see a character a certain way for so long, and get used to them that way, any changes just don't seem right. just like with Jimmy on super girl.
but, obviously the formula works at bringing in new people to these franchises, so it's not going away any time soon. it just seems like a gimmick to me. like rebooting ghostbusters as all girls ;o)....

oh well. I'm sure it'll be fine. Joe and Barry's relationship is one of the best parts of the show.

Wally has literally been on screen for what, 1 minute? 2?

hence, ten years of smallville where keeping secrets was cool 'bruh'. it's so refreshing to see the secret thing go out the window.

Winn Schott acts more like the Jimmy Olsen type from previous comics & movies.

yep, which makesthe change all the more confusing. oh well.


in other news, I know Barry h as to end up with iris. but please don't kill off patty tv show.
sexiest thing on the show now ;o).

One thing I've noticed as of late is how many of these superheroes is how easily these "heroes" are telling their friends and family "HEY... GUESS WHAT... I'M A SUPERHERO!" and they just accept it like it's no water off their back. I mean look at Superman... he didn't tell Lois he was Superman for YEARS! Then of course you have Batman and his Butler, but Dick Grayson stumbled upon the bat-cave... but now after watching this, and Arrow, and now the new Supergirl... they just don't care anymore. How many people know the Arrow is actually Queen? How many now know Barry is the Flash... and how many know Supergirl's identity. I mean comon... they all know that the villains go after the ones that are closest to them. I know if I were a superhero I would be scared to tell anyone for fear of them dying because of me!

No, worse, they spend all of their time talking about it IN PUBLIC IN A LOUD VOICE THAT ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN HEAR! Everyone ought to know that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. Everyone ought to know that Barry Allen is the Flash. Heck, the way they talk about it on Supergirl, there isn't a person in the city that shouldn't know who Supergirl is, especially everyone at CatCo because they spend all of their time chatting about her secret identity in the middle of the bloody office!

I know right!? It's like what ever happened to the word SECRET in Secret Identity!!

It's been coopted by the deodorant company. A superhero's gotta smell their best when out fighting crime in tight leather outfits.

If everyone is over the crossovers and dealing with Arrow stuff on The Flash then why is it the only thing that's been discussed in the past week? (Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of the crossovers but doing crossovers is comics 101.) We could have been talking about the Flash content of the crossover these past few days.

Why has nobody brought up Velocity 6? While its a twist on the original it brought me back to early Flash Vol2, it seems only fitting that it showed up during the Vandal Savage introduction crossover right before the week before we meet Wally. (OMG, The Flash almost teared me up tonight when they told Joe, then again {but not as close} when he shows up) Which brings up some questions...

Spoiler

- Is Velocity 6 a precursor to Velocity 9 or did the just rename it for some random reason?
- If Velocity 6 is just a precursor are we going to see Vandal Savage again as he creates Velocity 9?
- If Velocity 6 is just a rename will it have the same side effects for non-speedsters as Velocity 9 did?

I thought the same thing. Then I remembered Johnny Quick from Earth 2. Didn't he use a similar formula in order to get his super speed (which rivaled the Flash, but could also fly). Is it a coincidence that the character on this show who created the formula (Harrison Wells) has a daughter named Jessie? Johnny Quick's daughter was Jessie Quick. Just my $.02.

Trouble is, that doesnt quite fly in "logical" storytelling now.* If a Hero was so unwilling to put his/her family or friends in harms way - they just wouldnt do it period. You cannot have the cake and eat it too - so the writers recognise this and thats why a lot of it is team based now etc. Everyone says that being a Hero is being willing to help people at your own expense, but really its not just your expense, its your families and friends too. And that is technically selfish etc.

I much prefer that they dont play around too much with secrets now. However - it would be nice if they kept it consistent. Its a bit hit and miss.





*I dont mean real logic, haha. That doesnt exist in these shows by definition.

 

[KrangPrime]

I don't know if today's episode is the first new one after the break or not...

but......one of 'Wally's' first lines (and I put wally in quotes because I just watched a marathon of young justice as the character is usually portrayed and I don't think of this guy as wally yet)


'What about the white shadow?'



Having Wally say this on his first foray into the show really makes him unlikable to me off the bat. one of the nice things is race doesn't get brought up in the barry, joe relationship which makes it feel real. having a combative line like that come out of the biological son......you'd expect that more on Supergirl...not on flash.

didn't start this episode or character off right just yet.


- edit-

not a bad episode.

It was nice to show barry that even if you DON'T tell the person, they might still be in danger anyway, so it might just be easier to tell them just for peace of mind.

of course they got one of the hotter women on the show because barry has to wind up with iris. Barry's relationship with Dr.Light was fun to watch to. so far, the only one that has come off as bland, is the one with iris. maybe because of the adopted sister angle. that might have been a mistake.

 

[KrangPrime]

oh joy... they got rid of the best looking woman on the show ;o).

Barry has had more chemistry with patty and dr.light than he's ever had with iris.

 

[JBLAKE]

Why was Zoom so small in stature this episode. Zoom was shorter than Wells in this episode. I remember Zoom being larger in stature last I saw Zoom carry Barry Allen around the city when they last battled. This Zoom looked so small it could have been Patty under the suit and mask.....

OFFICIAL: Grant Gustin Will Appear As THE FLASH On An Upcoming Episode Of SUPERGIRL

OFFICIAL: Grant Gustin Will Appear As THE FLASH On An Upcoming Episode Of SUPERGIRL

It seems the rumors were true: after months of speculation and supposed confirmation, it's been officially announced that the CW's The Flash and CBS's Supergirl will indeed be crossing over.

It's officially happening! Fans of both DCTV shows will be delighted to hear that Grant Gustin will guest-star as Barry Allen/The Flash on an episode of Supergirl that's set to air on Monday, March 28.

Here's what The Flash and Supergirl executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg has to say in their statement. "

We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making ‘Supergirl’ – ‘The Flash’ and ‘Supergirl’ are teaming up! We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support.”

Details on how the Scarlet Speedster will be introduced are under wraps for now, but there's a good chance it'll have something to do with his current Multiverse-hopping adventures. Supergirl airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, while The Flash can be seen on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Grant Gustin's Flash to Guest Star on "Supergirl" in March

It's official: Grant Gustin will appear as The Flash on the March 28 episode of "Supergirl," as announced Wednesday by CBS. Details on the episode -- including the plot, how exactly Barry Allen finds himself in "Supergirl" territory and the extent of his role in the episode -- have not yet been released.

"We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making 'Supergirl' -- The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up!," "The Flash" and "Supergirl" Executive Producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg said in a joint statement. "We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone's enthusiasm and support."

Fans have speculated about the possibility of a "Flash"/"Supergirl" crossover since before "Supergirl" even debuted on CBS this past October -- starting with a Variety cover from May that featured both Gustin and "Supergirl" star Melissa Benoist posing in costume alongside Berlanti (who, along with Kreisberg, is an executive producer on both shows). Yet it remained unclear if a crossover between the two networks ("The Flash" airs on The CW, a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Entertainment) was even possible, with numerous reports in December stating that legal reasons may prevent the two DC Comics heroes from meeting on screen.

It's also not clear how, storyline-wise, a meeting is possible -- if "Supergirl" exists on the same Earth as "The Flash," "Arrow" and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," it's conspicuous that none of those shows ever mentioned the existence of Superman. Yet with "The Flash" delving heavily into parallel Earths and alternate timelines in its second season, there seems to be plenty of potential explanations to bring the two shows together.

"Supergirl" airs 8 p.m. Mondays on CBS.

FINALLY! It's about damned time.

 

[Logan519]

I'm sure the timing is no coincidence, March 28th, three days after another major DC team-up on the big screen. As for connecting the shows, I would say Rip Hunter saying "I've seen Men of Steel die, and Dark Knights fall" suggests they are the same Universe.

 

[vaderman1701]

I hope they keep them in the same universe. That way future crossovers can happen with all of the shows.

 

[DuneMuadDib]

If Superman currently existed in the CW-verse don't you think they would have mentioned it by now? I'm betting that Supergirl is an alternate Earth that Barry crosses over to.
