The Flash on CW

[BWR]

"I am your father."

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA

The rest of the episode was pretty good. Even if it weren't, this line alone would have made everything worthwhile.

Also I don't think dropping a bunch of knives on someone is enough to kill them, since they are relatively light, not balanced for that sort of thing, and not really meant to punch through bone. But that's besides the point.[/SPOILER]

Don't have to straight kill them. Get enough knives stuck in them and no one finds them fast enough, the person bleeds to death. Slow, semi painful death.

It was triggered by opening the door to the room - so the victim would be in plain view of the person triggering the trap.

What, Trickster, couldn't find a proper anvil? I am disappoint...

[Cheesegear]

Wells' sequence makes me think that somebody has been watching Fringe.

Also, is it just me, but does every establishing shot of STAR Labs have it repaired just a little bit more in each episode?

Spoiler: deathtrap

Could easily be enough to maim or kill depending on all sorts of random effects. It was an FU trap not a serious deathtrap.

The only thing that threw me off with this episode was it turned out that the Trickster was telling the truth about what poison he used.

After thoroughly establishing the MO of lying outrageously to pull some sleight of hand trick, the second Star Labs started working on synthesizing an antidote based off what Trickster said had me saying "oh no oh no this is going to end really badly".

I mean, I'm glad it didn't because that would have been a lot of dead people. But it still totally threw me.


Rest of the episode was brilliant. Though the Flash being so interested in Henry Allen should raise a few questions from the people who were there for the showdown.

The rest of the episode was pretty good. Even if it weren't, this line alone would have made everything worthwhile.

Also obligatory was a scene with Mark Hamill and John Wesley Shipp together.

Everyone familiar with the previous "Flash" series knows this episode was one big shout out, including lines such as Trickster causing trouble 20 years ago though the series was 25 years ago but still. (Wow, that long ago? I feel old. )

Much appreciated, and I'm still thrilled they purposely got John Wesley Shipp to play Barry's father. They honor the previous show's memory. It does help me to enjoy this series even more than I would have.

"I am your father."

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA

Me and my dad both died at that line. This show has officially won everything for all time.

I know nothing about the Flash outside of this show so Hamill's character just reminded me of the Joker, but that's OK because Hamill!Joker is best Joker.

[Cheesegear]

The irony of your statement is that Hamill!Joker wouldn't exist if it weren't for his Trickster.

Not to mention Harley Quinn who was obviously heavily influenced by Prank from the second Trickster episode.

Edited to correct misnamed character. brought to my attention by TheEmerged

The character's name was Prank, for the record.

Okay, looking at the REST OF THE SEASON trailer that they showed the other night... I have a question/suggestion

Spoiler: New DC Villain

Show

Clancy Brown as Solomon Grundy. We see him possibly die with Grodd, and in the trailer you see a deathly white Clancy Brown walking down a hallway.

Switch up a forgettable hulking monstrosity, The General, for another more memorable one?

[Zmeoaice]

Somethings going on with the general.

Anyhow I hope the Flash movie doesn't use any major villains. I know Arrow isn't allowed to have Deadshot appear because of the Suicide Squad film.

I can only pray that Dawn of Justice or subsequent films bomb so the DCCU ends so the live action shows won't be affected. Plus the movie's probably won't be that good anyways

[Dragonexx]

That reminds me. Do we have an Arrow thread?

What do you mean? Deadshot was in last weeks Arrow.

[Flickerdart]

We did. It died. Given that nobody noticed, I think it's for the best.

[huttj509]

Allegedly the reason he was killed off was in part so there wouldn't be confusion between Arrow Deadshot and the upcoming (August 2016) Suicide Squad separate continuity Deadshot.

[Dragonexx]

Might as well just make this thread an Arrow thread as well, seeing as they're in the same universe.

[Ranxerox]

Really? I just assumed that was a comic book death and that he would be back. After all, we only have Floyd's word for it that there wasn't a way off the roof, and since it was in a hostile country it would be difficult to nigh impossible for Waller check the rubble for his remains. So all Deadshot would need to do is cut his internal tracker and get off the roof double time, and he could be free of the squad.

[otakuryoga]

just got around to watching the last episode.....

"I am your father."

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA

yeah, that pretty much killed me
had to stop the playback for a couple minutes or so until i could control myself

Yeah, Deadshot died what twice already?

Whether they killed him and wanted to bring him back or killed him because WB told them to, he's not coming back on the show. Well unless Suicide Squad bombs, and I hope it and all other DCCU film does for a variety of reasons, the embargo being one of them.

Is this official or just a rumor?

"Unfortunately, Deadshot is off the table for the nonce"

I'm guessing this means it's because DC is using him in the show, since they did it before with the Bat-Embargo. It's the reason why 'the Batman' wasn't allowed to use Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul, and Two-Face, and why Justice League Unlimited could only use minor batman villains.

[Ranxerox]

Darn.




* Thanks for the reply, though.

What channel and time is this usually on? I've been following Agents of Shield but I recently got into the show due to watching it with my Dad (specifically the last three episodes). I kinda want to watch both in the same day if I can, don't have any recording devices.

Usually on the CW on Tuesdays at 8:00 (at least for me on EST, not sure if they air at different times in other time zones).


Speaking of no new episode this week for either Flash or Arrow. I am sad.

[thorgrim29]

Am I the only one who can't get over how incredibly goofy "To everyone else, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist" sounds?

Nope, that strikes me as weird every time too. Forensic Scientists are not in the category of what we normally consider "ordinary" people.

Oh, that would explain why I was only finding reruns today. Thanks Seerow
