The Flash - Season 1

[Guy Gardener]

Frictionless suit.

Literally frictionless of just a lot frictionless?

Literally frictionless reminds me of a Spider-Man villain named Slyde.

Golden Glider is going to have inline skates?

If she rips up one of Cisco's frictionless suits to make frictionless booties, is he going to be super pissed?

Or are we going to suffer another crass childlike remark abut how extremely attractive women are allowed painfully foul manners.

Wow, there are two Peyton Lists out there. I thought SAG was supposed have rules preventing the confusion "I've been awake 13 minutes" me is experiencing here.

It's been known to happen. It was years before I figured out that the Michael Gough who works in voice acting, playing Gopher in Winnie the Pooh and various minor animation roles (as well as a ton of video game roles that I didn't know about since I don't play video games), was not the same person as the Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Batman movies and the Celestial Toymaker in Doctor Who.

Anyway, no surprise that it's the Peyton List from The Tomorrow People, since that was also a Greg Berlanti show for The CW, and they've already brought in Robbie Amell as Firestorm. Unfortunately, I was never all that fond of either actor. Now, if only they'd add Madeleine Mantock in a major recurring role.

 

[Guy Gardener]

As a Yank or a Limey?

American TV is riddled with these changelings!

 

[LaxScrutiny]

So why does Joe go along with it?

He is the law.

Joe should be talking to the Federal government or maybe the Mayor, to make sure that the cells under Star Labs are not a permanent solution...

Does Joe actually know there are prisoners in Star Labs? I'm not saying he doesn't, I just don't remember anyone telling him.

I don't have a huge problem with them keeping prisoners. I do think there should be a conversation along the lines of "Do we have the right to do this?" "Well, what are the alternatives?" "I guess you're right but we should at least give them furniture."

 

[Captain Craig]

I've been behind and just watched the last two episodes of Flash, which included the Arrow crossover. I may repeat some thoughts so sorry in advance.

So...Dr.Wells is Reverse Flash? How did he beat himself up? Since Tina McGee(nice nod to the 90's show again) signed out the device that's a lot of effort to go to steal it from...yourself/CCPD. Still, how was he in two places at once though? I was prepared to think he just had the Reverse Flash suit in his funky techno future cave---then he spoke using that Reverse Flash voice.

I need an "in universe" reason on why Ronnie just whispers to Caitlin that he's FIRESTORM. There is literally no reason to utter that word. There is no context for us within the scope of the show. It just reeks of too much fan wank cause some writers in a room think we are waiting to hear the word--Firestorm! I want things to still make sense. I can follow the fantastical and go with things not easily explained. Doesn't mean I'm all forgiving.

I really enjoyed the Barry/Joe conversation about Fear holding him back for 14 years and the perspective of fear over those years.

Back to Firestom, him blasting off and flying out was really, really awesome. I feel like they are essentially creating a back door Firestorm pilot within about 6-8 episodes of Flash's inaugural season.

 

[Dr. Funkenstein]

I have no doubt that Wells is Professor Zoom, who's just one of the many Reverse Flashes. I wouldn't be surprised if another one was the one who was trying to steal the device at first.

 

[The Old Mixer]

his funky techno future

I motion that we refer to it as "the Future Cave" henceforth...all those in favor?

 

[DEWLine]

Speaking of which...who else noticed the walls are covered in what looks like Braille?

 

[Santa Kang]

Speaking of which...who else noticed the walls are covered in what looks like Braille?

I thought they were the inverse of the roundels on the Doctor's TARDIS.

 

[DEWLine]

Looks like Braille. I can't swear to it being that, let alone English Braille, though.

 

[Dr. Funkenstein]

I'm pretty sure it's sci-fi wallpaper.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Must be exceptionally difficult to get off the walls.

 

[DWF]

It looks more like sound baffles to me as though they're used to make the room invisible to any kind of scanning.

 

[Icemizer]

Wouldnt someone wonder why his chair is parked outside in a hallway with no doors?

 

[DWF]

Wouldnt someone wonder why his chair is parked outside in a hallway with no doors?

Like who? It always seems like there's only three people who work at STAR Labs Wells, Caitlin and Cicso, I haven't even seen a night janitor.

 

[cylkoth]

That's because Wells is using plutonium powered Rumbas! Gotta keep those floors sparkly clean and shiny.

 

[DWF]

LOL! That would explain that then. I remember an old JLA story wheere they in the 72nd century where they sawa huge fireball going though the city. They were going to try and stop it but the 72nd Green Lantern stopped then and they learned the fireball was only there to clean the city.

 

[Guy Gardener]

They claimed that there was reduced security when the freeze gun was stolen, and that one of the security guards stole the freeze, and if you read between the lines, Cisco seems to be in charge of the security guards or at least monitoring that they are doing their job.

There must be cleaners?

But, can Dust build up in Barry keeps whipping up a storm during his exits and entrances?

 

[Taylirious]

The Flash Casts Sleepy Hollow Alum Nicholas Gonzalez as Cisco's Brother

Peyton List cast as Lisa Snart (aka Golden Glider and Captain Cold's sister)

Love Peyton List!

 

[JD]

I have no doubt that Wells is Professor Zoom, who's just one of the many Reverse Flashes. I wouldn't be surprised if another one was the one who was trying to steal the device at first.

I've been leaning towards the Hunter Zolomon version for a while now, it would explain a lot of his behavior.
