Nope.
Next week is Grodd and then I think there are two more after that.

The Flash - Season 1
- Thread starter Agent Richard07
- Start date
Wiw, that episode went by fast (no pun intended).
I wasn't ready for it to stop.
What is RF's plan for Eddie beyond keeping him alive?
Setting him up with his future wife, the real one?
Letting him propose to Iris obviously wasn't in his best interest.
Anyone noticed the Captain's rant about the troubles with florists and cakes in preparation for his wedding? Going a bit meta there.

You are perfectly aware that all weddings are the result of super human effort?
I taught an 8 year old to play checkers a few days ago.
"Dude, don't just charge my counters if no one is covering your piece or it doesn't create a tactical advantage."
What did Wells gain that was worth losing Everyman for?
The only thing he learned was that Joe was willing to murder him.
Joe's a cop, he'll kill anyone if it means saving someone else.
Duh.

I was thinking about Michelle Harrison because I deserve it.
She's a dream.
1. Nora is saved, so grows up into an old lady. Michelle might do some more flash backs but essentially the part is going to be have to recast with a woman 15 years older, unless they ply down Michelle's overwhelming beauty with old lady make up.
2. Nora is not saved, so dies young and sexy. No old lady actress or old lady make-up required. Status quo.
3. Barry saves Nora, and brings young mum back to the Future to resume marriage with old dad. If it wasn't for the 15 years of prison rape you'd think that maybe Hank had hit the jackpot? Although from her perspective time has kicked the shit out of her husband into something almost un####able. So, polite loyalty aside, LOVE aside, is youthful Nora back from the dead, going to tie her star to some guy with a 60 year old ball bag scraping against the floor?
(Gradually, if she'd been there for 15 years watching his decline, along side her own expiring middle age, 60 is what she would have been and what she would have been appropriately into, so this is more about surprise than anything else.)

So does anyone else think that Cisco's lucid-dreaming sunglasses were a nod to his comics counterpart Vibe?
As for the static tipping Iris off, sometimes it just takes a trigger to reorient the way we look at what we know and see it fall into place. Iris knows the Flash's voice and manner, so there's bound to be some subliminal sense of familiarity. She knows Eddie, her father's partner, has been working with the Flash. She'd just figured out that the accelerator explosion gave people powers, and she knew Barry had been affected by the explosion. She also remembered there were strange things about his coma, like the doctors' inability to explain it. At the time, she probably wrote the spark off as static electricity, but in the context of what she knows now, it triggered the idea of a connection between Barry and the Flash, and that must've caused all the other bits and pieces she has to fall into a clear pattern. So yeah, I can buy it.
Oh, wait, I just got it! We didn't see Everyman-as-Wells use his speed. That's why he was able to step through the force field -- because he wasn't a speedster.

Also as the Flash talked to Iris in that scene his voice was less distorted than in the past. Given the situation he was talking to her full of emotion. Exactly how he would talk to her as Barry.
I believe that this episode was the most direct lying Barry has ever done to Iris. He out right told her he does not have any powers. During which he is very visibly unconformable and awkward. Acting in a way Iris had never seen him before. I am sure that totally added to her understanding of who the Flash really is.

Totally! I dug that.
Oh my god, I can't believe I missed that with EveryWells. Nice catch.
Really enjoyed this episode. I got a kick out of the stuff with Barry, Caitlin and Cisco in the Time Vault. Cisco trying to figure out the whole future suit situation was funny. I never noticed in the early episodes where they showed the newspaper that Barry is wearing a smoother almost rubbery looking suit.
I also noticed that the dream glasses did look a little like glasses Vibe wears in the comics.
So I wonder if RF has plans for all of the prisoners in The Pipeline or if using Everyman was just taking advantage of the current situation on the fly?
I'm curious to see what he has planned for Eddie.
I didn't expect Joe's reason for not wanting Eddie to propose to Iris.
I realize that they could still get married without it screwing up the timeline. All we know is that in 9 years Iris and Barry are married, but she could have still have been married to Eddie somewhere in those 9 years.
Next week is the S.T.A.R. Labs team's first encounter with Grodd. Should be fun!
I loved Iris figuring out that Barry is the Flash. I wonder how long it will be before she tells him she knows. I hope it's soon because the whole, she knows but he doesn't know she knows thing would drive me just as crazy as her not knowing.

I do not think I have watched a show with so many references to things I grew up on before. Beyond all the DC Comics stuff, time travel - Cisco's Marty McFly/Polaroid comment and I loved his Temple of Doom comparison to Wells sticking his hand in his chest.
Interestingly the writers probably did not know that there was a whole episode of Tom Cavangh's first series "Ed" about his character's lucid dreaming!

You mean Marty's Polaroid? He was talking about Marty McFly's Polaroid photo of his family changing in Back to the Future.
Oh, I forgot to mention: Cisco's lightsaber-narwhal t-shirt. Amazing. He wears so many hilarious t-shirts.
Now THAT was an awesome episode.. got me hooked from start to finish and it moved the storyline along in a major way.
Now that Team Wells is done i'm wondering what Wells/Thawne is up to and why he let Flash drive him off so easily. As we now know he's got one up over Barry so it'll be interesting to see what comes off it.
It's also nice that people are still able to put clues together and figure out the truth for themselves. I never liked that superhero aspect of close friends and family not knowing about their identity, to me it never seemed to have a believable purpose because i believe they'd actually be more careful if they knew the truth.
It also doesn't mean they will want to tag along.. if my drinking buddy was Bruce Wayne it wouldn't mean i'd like to spend my nights on rooftops and swing through Gotham with him but i'd be willing to be a friend and help him by just being there for him to talk if he needs to (and sometimes that's more important than being another superhero who works alongside).
Right now i'm wondering what the long term plan is for the show.. they did a marvellous job establishing Wells and peeling back the truth bit by bit so it begs the question when the big fight will happen (season finale or way later?) and if Wells will become a regular villain.
What will that mean for season 2? I'll admit that most villains left me cold in Flash.. some gadget weapons or superpowers which are mostly disposed off by the end of the show and i have forgotten about most of them already except for Wells. For me that storyline is why i kept tuning in because i really don't like case of the week shows anymore.
If they remove him as a threat in the season finale they better have a good plan for season 2 because it will be harder to keep up the quality without the charisma of Wells and the story they got going on.

Yes, I typed that so fast that I did not notice I spelled Polaroid wrong! lol BTTF is my all time favorite movie, I certainly knew the reference. I going to edit that post. Thanks.
A screencap of Iris West-Allen's future article reveal that GREEN Arrow, The Atom, and Hawkgirl where helping the Flash fight the Reverse Flash when he disappeared. https://www.facebook.com/theDawnOfGeek/photos/a.258655464335325.1073741826.258654194335452/372377496296454/?type=1&theater
Iris being in on the secret will explain how all of Cisco's names for the Metahumans become known to the public.

Or Cisco becomes Vibe and interacts with the public himself.

I'm surprised it says "Starling City." So Ray's campaign to rename it Star City didn't work?

or they simply goofed and the people making that article were not familiar with every single scene from Arrow.

No, his rejection by Felicity made him so depressed he's moving to another city!
And since he will be gone (for his new series) it makes sense that the things he did won't last/be accomplished. (I assume Queen Consolidated will return as well).
Now, a question i have -- does Wells know about the Crisis on Infinite Earths? Is that what's happening in the newspaper? Or just a coincidence that just sends Barry & Wells to Barry's mom's death?
The writers are drawing on memories of Crisis on Infinite Earths for that reference but I doubt we will ever see an actual adaptation. The Reverse Flash was dead at the time and had nothing to do with it. Also there is no guarantee the series will last until 2024. While details in that newspaper are likely foreshadowing their future plans, that specific event likely will never happen if history keeps changing as they get closer to that date.
It would be cool if they did a "2024" episode at the end of each season, like the "Epitaph" episodes of Dollhouse.
