Carlosologist posted:I enjoyed the opener for this season. Jay Garrick and Barry are gonna kick so much rear end it's ridiculous I'm hoping that the super-speed resolution of angsty plot points in this episode, along with the introduction of Jay, signifies that Barry Allen is going to be substantially less Peter Parkery this season.

So what comic book character do show-Zoom's motivations (obsessed with speed, wants to be the only speedster in the multiverse) correspond to?

I wanted Reverse Flash to stick around and team up with Barry to beat Zoom, on the basis that if any speedster is gonna kill the Flash, it's gonna be Eobard goddamn Thawne.

So what possible Flash consorts are left for Barry to have awful CW relationships with now that Patty is gone? My vote goes to the insane Soviet lady from the comics. Or maybe on a jaunt to Earth-2 Barry can meet Jay's sister Joan, just to make things super weird.

Tiggum posted:If this show is going to continue the pattern of having an evil speedster as the main villain, I hope they just go all out with it and next season there are about two dozen of them, some good, some bad, some just using their powers to have fun. Like, every scene should have a speedster go by in the background, sometimes being chased by a different speedster. Some girl's complaining to Barry about him being distant and secretive and he's making his excuses and both of them are ignoring the fact that seven different coloured blurs just went by behind them. Kapitalist Kouriers next season or I quit watching.

Barry continues to be the worst. Stop shmooching Other Barry's Iris and get to work doing the thing you said you were going to do, you creepy weirdo. Prediction: Velocity 9 will almost restore Jay's speed, but have catastrophic side effects and he'll be at death's door, just in time for the introduction of Velocity X at the finale. And then a vat of the stuff will fall on Wally.

jwalrus posted:My personal theory is that "our" Jay is Edward Clariss, the Rival - basically the Earth-2 version of the Reverse-Flash. He got his powers from a drug called Velocity-9. My guess is that he was working for Zoom all along in exchange for real, permanent super-speed. Dunno how they'll explain him looking just like Jay, but it would certainly explain why "Jay" was so bad at being a hero; he never was one. That'd be a way better twist than whatever they have planned.

It's hard to believe how excited I was at the start of the season. Flash Appreciation Day! Flash of Two Worlds! Wally West is gonna show up at some point! This last episode I just skimmed through on fast forward and eventually skipped straight to the stinger.

But yeah, if the Rogues as an organization/club aren't forthcoming (and we are thus doomed to a new speedster villain every season), then Hartley is much better suited to be a Flash Friend than a solo act. I hope he turns out to be a socialist.

Chokes McGee posted:Also I will never get tired of Barry loving with the timestream, especially if it leads to more Wells-Thawne CW Barry is incredibly dumb, yet still much smarter than comics Barry, who basically destroyed the DC universe. People should cut the show writers some slack, because they are trying so hard to get Barry to that level of stupidity, but it takes some time. Current estimate: S03E17.

I wish Wally was better so Barry could die. Grant Gustin is great. The Supergirl episode exhibited once again that with decent writers he could be lots of fun. But the actual Flash writers have done so much to sabotage his character. If this show were true to DC, it'd reboot immediately.

Timo posted:How does this work for the show? Didn't they make it a point in the crossover to say there was no Central City in Supergirl's world to prove it was another Earth? Also, this puts Superman in the Flash/Arrow/Legends world now, right? Crisis on Three Earths. Arrowverse get Atlantis and Gorilla City from Earth-2, and National City from Earth-S. Superman dies heroically off-screen and we can all forget he was ever alluded to.

There's actually a scene earlier this season where Joe takes little Barry home, and Iris is standing at the top of the stairs and introduces herself. And they're both like... 8 years old. Pretty sure you're misremembering. They were already best friends.

enraged_camel posted:It's not that he just "enjoyed racing fast cars." For all intents and purposes, he's addicted to speed, and racing is how he feeds that addiction. That's another stereotype for you. Obviously they couldn't make it about drug addiction since he's supposed to become a superhero one day, so they gave him another addiction instead and made it relatively benign and less stigmatized. But they did write his mom as a drug addict (which is why she left Joe). Where in God's name do you get "addicted" from what was actually on the show? He was racing for money, then, based on that fact that it's never come up again, it seems that he quit. (We're not told explicitly that he quit, I think, but given what scolds Iris and Joe are, the fact that we haven't heard about it strongly suggests it isn't happening.) Wally does not have any sort of desperate need for speed. He just likes going fast.

enraged_camel posted:You are forgetting how much he was obsessing about that class project where he is trying to design the fastest car or whatever. It's not just about him going fast. Like I said, he's addicted to speed. So he used to race cars (then quit) and was super into a cool science/engineering project that he was working on, for all of one episode. You're right, classic signs of addiction. Are you auditioning to be the SMG of TVIV?

TEAH SYAG posted:No worries, he is totally going to get the mack going on Supergirl, ship that poo poo like FedEx. We are getting dangerously close to "headcanon" here, but I agree. Candace Patton is fine, but they've written Iris terribly at every opportunity. (Even when she played no role in the larger plot, like when she randomly asked her boss out to no effect.) They tried to make a "will they or won't they" thing, when the source material says "they definitely will," and the writing makes the audience say "please stop." The crossover episode with Supergirl was the best that Barry was written all year IMO.

Koalas March posted:Barry/Any white chick apparently! Linda was also at least OK. I think I get where you're coming from. Iris is Barry's canonical love interest, so at a minimum it'd be an unsettling coincidence to cast a black actress to play the part and then deliberately render the character more or less irrelevant by taking that away from her. And I could see Gustin and Patton making it work if the writing for their relationship weren't so abysmal. I'd be perfectly happy with Barry-Iris if it were written at the level of Kara-James. I'm not super invested in the latter couple, but it seems to work well enough.
