I thought the Snyderverse movies had a gender-swapped Jimmy named Jenny. Did I make that up? Is that coming from nowhere?

Was watching highlights of Flash panel at SDCC and one of the producers was explaining that this year they're going to have two big bads - one will be a speedster (presumably the Black Racer-looking guy from the teaser) and the other will be Doctor Alchemy. I think season two would have benefitted from having a secondary big bad because the Zoom plot wasn't really sufficient to sustain the entire season in my view, and they didn't have enough stuff like the Rogues of the Firestorm arc to fill things out like they did in season one.

Moving Captain Cold and Heat Wave to Legends of Tomorrow was a huge mistake.

The last 4 episodes of the season I remember being fairly decent. edit: and yah not using Cold/Heatwave as a counter balance vanilla kinda sucked the energy out of the room. They maybe could of used weather wizard to that effect I guess. I think they were too focused on making sure they introduced the spin off characters they forgot room for character development for Jay.

It picked up near the end of the season, I feel. Plus they delivered on dadfast rather than put themselves through some horribly convoluted twist that no one wanted. Also something I've noticed: Earth-2 is actually DC comics Earth-3. I can't think of a super offhand that wasn't swapped with good/evil so far. (I mean, Joe and Iris weren't, but Deadshot was, etc.)

Barry was still unbelievably stupid, but Zoom was entertaining when he was unmasked. A good villain (or one at all since Zoom barely did anything) was a big part of what was missing.

A good hero would probably have helped too, since Barry spent most of the season fighting people who were specifically targeting him and barely interacted with the public or showed any heroic traits at all.

I keep reading this thread mostly because there's a low post count to catch up every time I pass through at this point, but it does keep me up to date on news and I might check out the thread for next season to see if things pick up. The thread does include links to that one guy's Imgur summations of the episodes too, which are fun most of the time. As is though I'm not watching any DCCW shows, which seems kind of odd to me.

I'm gonna give Flash's first couple episodes next season a shot because I just like far too much of the cast far too much for my own good, but it's officially on notice. Any sign of this past season's idiocy-on-parade and by golly, I'm gonna be very passive-aggressive about it indeed. I may even complain about it. In this thread! I've stopped on Arrow already. Haven't seen the last batch of episodes, don't regret it a bit, don't plan to continue at this point.

Have either the cast or writers ever been asked about the heroes having their own private jail where they lock bad guys up without trial? Did that evil Firestorm guy who was being detained until he forgot Barry's secret identity ever get let out?

I'll probably keep watching sporadically for a bit, I already couldn't be bothered to watch it live, but with Hulu I'll likely play catchup every few episodes. It mostly depends on how the show proceeds, if it gets legit fun again I'll enjoy it, and same if it gets over the top ridiculous and terrible (e.g. the end of this season finale), but if it gets all bogged down doing nothing at all like the middle portion of this season I'm out, I can't handle their treading water.

Season 2 closed strong and even though it had some glaring weaknesses, there were also a ton of really great things that make me want to come back. King Shark, Grodd, Cisco, every version of Wells, Jesse Martin's performance, Zoom after he got unmasked, Dadflash and Flashdad both, the first Barry/Zoom showdown, the Reverse Flash Returns, the fact that they finally made Wally cool and good. There's more, but point is they did enough to get me back for another year and the show would really have to go off the rails for me to stop watching entirely.

I mean I'm such a die hard Flash geek that I will keep watching until it gets cancelled anyway, but this is a pretty good list of its biggest strengths and should be enough for fans of the first season to have some hope (I'd also add Mark Hamill). I think there were some very obvious fixable issues that hopefully won't be repeated (using several episodes including the Arrow crossover to set up LoT, removing the most compelling returning villains also for LoT, weird breaks in the second half schedule, a poorly handled villain "mystery" that bungled the twist) and I think the season trailer gives some compelling reasons to tune in.

I was listing reasons that CW could tank Super Girl and they were something like 1. CW budget. I don't want Kara fighting in the metropolis equivalent of Arrow's warehouses all the time. 2. CW writers 3. Bogged down by forced crossover shenanigans with Flash/LoT/Arrow/other? I think most of that applies to Flash too but they are probably already used to working within their budget. I'll keep watching Flash until it hits Arrow levels of bad. They aren't there yet and I don't think they will get there but I could definitely see things tipping that way if they don't step their game up some. Or if they get bogged down by those points I mentioned above.

They re-used the actor on Earth 2 as Harry's assistant, so I'm pretty sure they remember, they just don't care and won't bother with it again unless they need a filler episode in season 5.

I love this cast and when they are focusing on super heroing, it's great. And I liked Barry visiting the speed force. The whole scene between Barry and Weather Wizard this season was awesome. Also, I am starting to warm on Iris/Barry too if Barry can get out of his own way.
