[Cheesegear]

When does the show (and the other Superhero shows for that matter) come back on tv?

Arrow, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash will be on the week of January 23.

Thanks. I'm guessing that's like, Agents of Shield too right?

No. Given the thread, I thought you were only talking about DC continuity shows.

Agents of SHIELD comes back on the 10th.

Okay, thanks! Sorry, I should of specified when I said "all the super hero shows" . I do appreciate it.

[Millstone85]

It's always a surprise when something this lot does manages to conjure some hype to me. I'm willing ignore a lot of stupid crap if the end result will be this.

They'd better not screw it up, I want to believe...bleh, who am I kidding here?

The first screw up would be not to cast NPH in the role. Not so hidden in the quote box, is it?

New episode last night!

Spoiler

Show

Nothing all THAT big, mostly just Barry getting flashes of memory from that jaunt to the future that is messing with him. They talk about domino time theory, and Vibe the future to see what all the future headlines are going to be so they can try and change Iris's death. At least he's not traveling through time!

Some headline teasers that are going to be VERY fun: Music Meister, of course. GORILLA ATTACK OF CITY is going to be...a hell of a thing. Grodd's back, and he's got a monkey army. And the stinger at the end is...HR's world's version of Jessie Quick is here, and she seems mysterious and evil.

[Pronounceable]

I tried to watch. I even skipped one dumb drama part but another one appeared shortly afterwards and I turned it off in disgust. This is getting as dumbly unfun as LoT's last season, it's sad to see Flash stoop so low. It used to be the flagship of this whole enterprise but now it's a pile of stupid on top another pile of stupid.

I later watched Legends and it was fun. It was arguably even dumber than Flash but it was amusing and lacked the unbearably worthless personal melodrama ****. Those folks are having fun.

C'mon Flash. Stop being so terrible. You got Music Meister lined up.

[Rogar Demonblud]

IMHO, Flash is suffering the same problem Arrow did. Two good seasons, and then blecch. Which doesn't bode well for Supergirl next year.

Legends has a long way to go (straight down) to be worse than s1.

TWO good seasons I assume you meant they had more good than bad episodes right?

As for Arrow I've yet to brave Season 3 wasn't a fan about how they treated Deathstroke and as for Ra's let's just not go there ok?

Flash Season 1 had a great villain, season 2 ended with them ignoring everything Barry had learned just to introduce another speedster faster than the fastest man alive!

Season 2 should have introduced the Legends as a result of Rip hunting down Eobard the only time altering event was them saving Eddie so Rip could escort Eobard back to his own time with Sara along because she's supposed to be dead so is considered a temporal anomaly.

Savage usurps the Time Masters killing Rip's family with a bomb intended for Rip, unaware Rip was at that moment busy trying to help Sara as it was his bringing her back to the future that caused the anomaly since they used magic and the Lazarus Pit to bring her back!

Barely escaping with Sara's help they recruit help but run across the Legion of Doom managing to turn two of them into comrades after a close encounter with Vandal Savage who is scouring time for artefacts linked to Hawaiian and Hawkgirl seeking their ability to reincarnate for himself.

There just so many ways all of these series could be better but currently Legends and Super Girl are much better!

[Rogar Demonblud]

I presume that by 'Hawaiian' you mean Hawkman?

The pitch for LoT s1 is a good one, and could've been decent at least, but they screwed up out of the gate casting the Hawks. At the least, they should've had good chemistry with each other. When your Eternal Lovers have better chemistry with Mick's heat gun than with each other, you're going to have problems.

[LaZodiac]

Speaking of Legends of tomorrow, apparently it's on thursdays AND Tuesday's now. Huh.

This week's episode was pretty good. I feel like the entire concern about a one Mr Lucas was just so they could make that Howard the Duck joke. Still, quite fun. Hope Rip's okay.

[Rogar Demonblud]

No, Supernatural and Riverdale are on Thursdays.

I'm so making that for our next Icons one shot.

New Flash and Legends!

Flash gives us the ridiculous invincible Iris...and Gypsy, who is super cool and also has vibe powers, nice! More drama, that I think works well, and some characterization for HR Wells.

Spoiler: Legends

Show

Legends gives us THE BLACK ****ING RACER. Hell yeah. Unfortunately for us, Rick has uh...helped the bad guys become a more solid team. Oops! And our heroes have kinda messed up the professor's relationship with his abberent daughter. Thankfully they're able to fix that up because she's adorable and great.

I was screaming for her to add that Cisco's HER name when she said it was a cute name because I absolutely knew for 100% certain that this is a thing they would do and they just DIDN'T. What teases.

It's totally legal by the way.

To be fair, they've been signaling that Wally's becoming faster than Barry since...he got his powers, basically. I totally predicted that it'd be Kid Flash who has to save Iris, not himself, and now we're seeing that this may in fact be true.

[Seerow]

I just wish they had a better name than "Kid Flash". Seriously Wally looks like he's maybe a year or two younger than Barry in this universe. With the Mask on you can't even tell that much. It's not like he's some 12 year old kid (or even that he's a young adult and Barry's an older man. If Wally came from the timeline where Barry's dad is the Flash, I could see the kid flash moniker sticking).

This is one of those instances where comics are just dumb because "well you can't have them both be called Flash" and it's why, as cool and great as Wally is, I wish they had stuck with Jessie Quick. Because Flash and his partner, Jessie Quick, makes a lot more sense than Flash and his partner, Kid Flash (who's like the same age as him).

[LaZodiac]

New Flash and Legends, boyos!

Spoiler: The Flash

Show

Flash was pretty great. Teaching Wally how to be awesome, dealing with a dude who decays bodies with his meta powers, and learning how to Vibe into alternate realities. Heck yeah. This was a good episode...and importantly, next time, a two part special event begins. GORILLA CITY. GORILLA GRODD GORILLA GRODD GORILLA GRODD GORILLA GRODD!

Spoiler: Legends of Tomorrow

Show

Legends was great. A lot of drama, and some great action. It's nice to see them really going full bore with the time stuff still, exploring the 1700s and trying to save Washington is great. Ripp being messed up mentally by the Legion of Doom is also a really fascinating turn of events, and they've done a lot of good with it I think. Also, "Man, Hitler ruins everything".

What Barry did with the train and its passengers makes you wonder if he could have just phased Wally earlier to show him how it feels.

Maybe...but he really didn't know he could do that.

- "Hey, we have a corpse that looks like it was eaten by a flesh eating bacteria. I know, maybe we should bring it to the lab and perform an autopsy without any precautions!"

Sure, it worked fine in the end, but that was still a horrible idea.


- Phasing the train was a cool moment meant to inspire, but phasing the debris on the track should have been easier...

- Best joke ever: No more secrets". Yeah, right...

[LaZodiac]

So what's up with the shows today? My DVR says there's no new Flash and Legends today, is that accurate?

[Rogar Demonblud]

There's a special on in the Flash spot, and a Flash rerun in the Legends spot. Just to build some more anticipation for things going bananas again.

Is that today? Because Attack on Gorilla City appears to be not this week. That'd suck, if true.

[Ranxerox]

That episode is scheduled for next week.
