The Flash - Season 1

[Morpheus 02]

I'm still kind of wishing for a storyline where they use the Flash's universe-hopping powers to bring different DC screen universes together. Maybe a crossover with the '90 series; maybe in a few years a crossover with the feature-film Flash played by Ezra Miller. Maybe a crossover with the universe of Berlanti's Supergirl if that goes to series. Heck, bring in Gotham, Constantine, whatever. Maybe even visit some older DC screen universes. What are Lois and Clark up to these days? Maybe visit a Lynda Carter Wonder Woman who gave up her Amazon immortality decades ago.

One part of me loves these ideas....another part of me is reminded of Earth Final COnflict, season 2...where each episode in the first half was a sci-fi cliche

Also, i guess that would get around your problem of having the movies & TV shows in the same universe (though i still contend what happens in the movies does NOT have to affect the storylines on TV or vice versa)

Do we know for sure yet if Supergirl is a Arrowverse show or not? I thought they were still being rather vague on that.

Actually, a Flash of Two Earths story might work really well.

I'd love to see that.

Smallville would be a must. Hartley and Amell as dueling Green Arrows. Flash vs Impulse. Chloe vs Felicity!

It would be neat to bring the Smallville cast back with some decent writing.

As for Earth II Flash, it would be neat to see Barry actually team up with his father who has been the Flash for twenty years if the writers preferred referencing the nineties series over introducing Jay Garrick.

Do we know for sure yet if Supergirl is a Arrowverse show or not? I thought they were still being rather vague on that.

From what I read, Berlanti's made noises that it's possible, but CBS doesn't seem to like the idea. Besides, the premises don't mesh. Supergirl's evidently set in a world where Superman is a well-known hero, but in the Starling/Central universe (my latest stab at a name for the continuity), people are only just recently starting to catch on to the idea that metahumans exist. I just don't see how there can be a Superman already in this universe. It would make more sense if they crossed over as alternate universes, if at all.

On second thought, let's not go to Smallville. It is a silly place.

Well, I dunno, maybe. After all, you'd never get Welling to wear the actual Superman costume, so he probably wouldn't participate in the crossover, and there are other actors I wouldn't mind seeing again. Heck, I'd be happy if they imported Phil Morris's J'onn J'onnz directly into the CW-verse. Put him on the Atom's spinoff team.

 

[USS Firefly]

I agree that it would be GREAT if they bring the Smallville cast in the Flash universe!

Supergirl could just be set in the near future, after people have figured out what's going on.

Would they even be recognizable as the Smallville cast if they had decent writing...?

As for Earth II Flash, it would be neat to see Barry actually team up with his father who has been the Flash for twenty years if the writers preferred referencing the nineties series over introducing Jay Garrick.

When the Flash of Two Worlds idea was brought up above, my thought was that the other Flash would be Shipp's Barry Allen from the 90s show. That would resonate more than making up a Jay Garrick.

Supergirl's evidently set in a world where Superman is a well-known hero, but in the Starling/Central universe (my latest stab at a name for the continuity), people are only just recently starting to catch on to the idea that metahumans exist. I just don't see how there can be a Superman already in this universe.

If they wanted to go that route, technically Superman isn't a metahuman. It's one thing for godlike aliens to come to Earth...another for Earthborn humans to start sprouting powers and abilities far beyond yada yada yada.

QFT.

I'd be happy if they imported Phil Morris's J'onn J'onnz directly into the CW-verse. Put him on the Atom's spinoff team.

That would be cool.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Michael Gray (Billy Batson form the 70s) was hilarious on Archer a few weeks back.

Gerard Christopher owns some of the rights to Superboy (the tv series) last I checked.

I was never courageous enough to watch the 90s Swampthing show, but his tubers could probably get even Barry baked.

Where is Teri Hatcher?

Oh. Cartoons. Sad.

 

[Christopher]

Except it's the very existence of superpowers that's been presented as a surprise to the characters in Arrow and The Flash, not simply the fact that humans have them. It would be a huge cheat at this point to retcon things so that Superman had been around all along.

 

[Guy Gardener]

What about Hawkgirl?

She's an alien hanging out with Barry in 2024.

(Yes, Hawkgirl is not always an alien, but c'mooooon.)

 

[DEWLine]

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.

I have a thought about Reverse-Flash's comment to Eddie about what kind of "insurance policy" Eddie will end up having to become...and it worries me.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I've had major concerns about Eddie since he didn't know the name of Han Solo's ship.

I'm more worried about Eobard taking over Eddie's identity than Eddie taking over Eobard's ever so briefly before he's killed before they realize that he doesn't have any speed.

What better revenge on Barry could the reverse Flash have than shtupping Iris?

 

[sojourner]

So now the big questions:
Where do you think Cisco and Caitlin will get new jobs at? Big Belly Burger?
How fast do you think "Wells" changed the locks on Star Labs, locking everyone out?

 

[Guy Gardener]

If "Wells" thought of Cisco as a son, then his will is going to seriously improve Cisco's T-Shirt collection...

Oh.

Leaving everything to Eddie would also be good, that this act of kindness (and nepotism) might create the family fortune that Eobard has always taken for granted, even if the timelines don't quite connect anymore unless you allow for bad writing.

 

[The Old Mixer]

So Iris just waltzes into STAR while Barry's hanging around with his mask off....Couldn't she have done that before she knew Barry's secret?

The real reason that they kept it all from Iris...they were heroically attempting to spare us from the angsty-angst-angst.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

I was really ready to get my Grodd on, but this episode was underwhelming. After all the build up, Grodd really didn't do much. The timing also feels like this episode was just a distraction from the Reverse Flash plotline at a point where things are really heating up. At least next week looks suitably epic.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Grodd almost quoted Zira in Escape from the Planet of the Apes.

"Because I don't like Bananas."

 

[Greg Cox]

Grodd almost quoted Zira in Escape from the Planet of the Apes.

"Because I don't like Bananas."

To be more exact, I think she said, "Because I happen to despise bananas."

But, yes, it's the same joke.

The timing also feels like this episode was just a distraction from the Reverse Flash plotline at a point where things are really heating up. At least next week looks suitably epic.

Possibly a combination of initial introduction for Grod and we'll see more of him later and the limitations of a tv budget for the SFX.

At least it wasn't a Grod awful epsiode those Iris nearly made it that way.

And a thought a thought I had when Wells was taunting Eddie. That Iris is married to Barry in 2024 doesn't mean that she doesn't marry Thawne first. Just she's not married to him 9 years down the track (divorce, death, abducted by Aliens) but probably not that the way they want to play it.
