I like James. What's interesting about him is how he tries to overcompensate for his inferiority complex that he has from literally being buddies with gods. The general called him out as surrounding himself with important people to try and convince himself he was important, and James was really shooken by it. And he's been a good moral center, calling out the gitmo stuff.

Something that bothers me about the season one episode where they think they've caught the Reverse-Flash - they trap him in Cisco's force-field, unaware that it's a hologram, and then he breaks out and beats up Thawne/Wells. Later on, in the Weather Wizard episode, Cisco asks him how he was in two places at once and Thawne demonstrates his speed mirage trick. How did that work in the aforementioned scene? Was he switching between Thawne/Wells and costumed Reverse-Flash to beat himself up?

Supposedly, yes. It's a trick Flash himself has done in the comics before.

Fair enough. I'm not sure how exactly it's meant to work (speed force, probably) but I guess Reverse-Flash, even if went back and forth a lot with regard to how fast he could go, was meant to be a lot faster than Barry for most of season one. As far as speed tricks go, I think it's actually more impressive than going back in time. At least there you can say he goes so fast he breaks the "time barrier" or whatever; he's not having to switch in and out of a costume while punching himself in the face.

It all depends on how brightly lit he was. If he could get 20x spots on himself and be in each position 1/20th of the time, he'd have 9/10ths of the time to move and switch costumes. It'd just look weird because of the lack of blur, but you'd definitely write that off. The real question is, how'd he get those lights set up without anyone noticing?

Also I think the Flash parallel is cute, and Winn is a total nice guy creeper that makes my skin crawl. I hope they give Iris/James stuff to do in the crossovers. It would be cool to see them do some investigating together and bonding over what it's like to be in love with two very powerful nerds. He'd be a much better mentor than other dude that got shipped off with Patty.

I think Winn was a nice guy creeper, but grew out of it in the second half of the season, which I think was the show runners course correcting.

Thanks to whomever it was that recommended Supergirl. Some parts seem to be written by someone who considers dark corners of tumblr to be a religion, but if I skip through those there's a pretty enjoyable show there with some cool scenes, cheers.

I know that he has improved but he's never really grown out of it and I can see it looming overhead just waiting to be brought back up again, if that makes sense. Its like when you tell a guy, No, Let's just be friends, and things are cool for awhile and you think thats in the past but lo and behold that poo poo comes right back up. Especially now that they are on the CW and love triangles are their bread and butter and every fanboy racist can't wait to push the white leads together. (Go ahead, ask me about racism in the flarrow fandom because it's insane.)

I thought that it was pretty clear that the reverse flash in the forcefield was a hologram. Cisco turned it on in another episode and got murdered for figuring it out. Basically all Thawne had to do was get pretend beat up, which is pretty easy when you can move at what is apparently light speed for the plots sake. He smashes himself a few good times and that's the end of it. All while no one can actually see how fast he's moving. I can't remember if Barry was in the room, but if he was then arguably he should've been able to perceive it, but at some point this is a comic book show.

Yeah I don't get what the endless debate about that scene is... he was never in two places, the man in the yellow suit was always a hologram.

The episode where Cisco pulled up the hologram he did also demonstrates that he could be in two places at once, but you literally wouldn't have seen that without also seeing the hologram. I think he may do the "two places at once" trick in response to some inconsistency Cisco points out, otherwise you totally see a hologram recording, it was basically the big reveal to the team (until it gets immediately erased)

Ah, I thought the hologram only did the looped conversation right up until he breaks out of the force field and seems to attack Wells, because when Cisco asks him how he was in two places at once, that's when Thawne demonstrates the speed mirage to explain (in this scene). So I assumed that Thawne was moving impossibly fast to attack himself with his own speed mirage, rather than using a hologram that was programmed to attack him or something like that.

boom boom boom posted:The original plan for Winn was that he was gay, right? I mean, the scene where he makes different outfits for Supergirl just screams "gay friend" to me. Especially when she comes out in the middriff baring outfit, and she's like "I can't wear this" instead of "gross, you perv", I can't imagine they thought Winn had a crush on her at that point. I agree with the others that he was her Jorah Mormont from ep 1, but I always felt like they could have made him her gay best friend really easily, without changing a lot about the character. 1) The show seems severely lacking in LGBT representation (unless I'm right about Alex), which weirds me out. 2) Instead of dumbass love triangles, she could have just went full-speed after that good James Olsen dick. 3) While he would have played a little into stereotypes, he could be basically the same character, except he could stop doing that annoying "OH NO I ACTED UNMANLY" thing he sometimes does. But then again, CBS has always been "TV for the coffin dodger crowd" so maybe the execs thought that having a "queer boy on the tee-vee screen" might make grandma soil her mumu or write an angry letter or something.

The actual number is REALLY hard to pin down due to things like; it is based on self identifying, do bisexuals in a monogamous opp-sex relationship count, what if you just experimented a little in college, etc. I've seen the number range from 2% to 20%.
