Inspector 34 posted:Wait what? I must have missed something cuz I just remember they knocked him out of something. Thought I remembered a scene with him in meta-jail too. I agree with you 100%, the finale of season 1 was very boring and not memorable at all. Let's hope the show is re-invigorated a little bit in Season 2.

So its what, the same dude from Earth 2 who was in the city at the time of the explosion and he became a metahuman? Flash falters - he ran directly at him because he's lovely at being the Flash.

Mr Beens posted:Seems like you are in the minority Probably true, as each episode passes I like this show less and less. I think I was one of the only people that thought the season 1 finale was blah. I think I am also coming from a different perspective than a lot of people in this thread as well, because I haven't read any of these comics. So a guy showing up at the end of the episode saying "Hey I'm X" doesn't suddenly make the episode good to me.

TyrantWD posted:Enemies that don't directly confront Barry aren't all that threatening. Unless they act through robot-bees, the villain's goons will be subdued and Barry can search every building in the city before Cisco can search for the guy's name on google. As for stopping bad guys without violence - I'm pretty sure beating up bad guys is one of the rules of being a superhero. So you're point is that because Barry is so powerful instead of writing competently the writers should just throw their hands in the air and have Barry charge directly at a big muscly dude and get punched in the face? I think that's idiotic but you're in luck, the writers appear to agree with you.

zoux posted:Along those lines, it's not really surprising that Iris is completely rehabilitated as a character by getting in on the secret. The same thing happened on Arrow; almost every problematic character was fixed by bringing them into the inner circle. I wouldn't say she's been completely rehabilitated, she just isn't in-our-face-completely-awful so far. She feels like a non-factor so far in the first two episodes other than the trust speech to Barry.

greatn posted:If I had to choose between Candice and Caitlin I think I would be a turbonerd unable to make a decision or make a move just like Barry. This is assuming marriage vows don't apply when you are transported into a fictional universe and become a superhero. I just thought the whole Barry/Caitlin thing was better because their actors seem to have much better chemistry than Barry/Iris. It's also a little annoyance that they force the idea of Barry loving Iris down your throat in season 1 without any good reason for it because they have no chemistry and she is just awful.

This kind of goes back to a point I've brought up a number of times in this thread, but I feel like I'm expected to care about Iris simply because she's some famous character from the comics. It doesn't work at all if you don't watch the comics (at least for me). The show hasn't really showed any reason for why Barry needs to be in love with her or have her exist as a character other than she exists in the comic.

enraged_camel posted:They could have her actually add value to the team by using her skills as a journalist and investigative reporter to uncover facts and angles that can't be uncovered using Cisco's and Steins' technical skills. But that would require actual effort on part of the writers. What skills as a journalist and investigative reporter?

Error 404 posted:Right, but the exact phrasing is a really common stereotype about black people. Like, referencing that the dude is an athlete wasn't a bad thing at all, but the specific phrasing was a little eyebrow raising to a lot of people, hence the discussion of it. Isn't dogwhistle racism when you cloak racism in innocuous language? So it isn't a textbook example, given that I don't think anybody in this thread believes that Stein (or the writers) were trying to be racist. This isn't racism at all just poor phrasing that really isn't even that bad since one of the main things we know about the character was that he was a great high school quarterback who would have played college football. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Oct 30, 2015 |

Error 404 posted:A funny thing about dog whistles though, they can often be repeated by well meaning folks who are ignorant of it's connotations, like for instance, a popular superhero TV show. So yes, pretty textbook. This doesn't make any sense. A textbook example would be if Stein had no idea the kid was a quarterback and still said use your natural athletic ability. What actually happened isn't any sort of racism, at the very worst its tone-deaf and I wouldn't even go that far. Regardless, this wasn't a stereotype repeated by someone that was well meaning but ignorant of the connotation. The guy was literally a quarterback. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Oct 30, 2015 |

Error 404 posted:It is tone deaf because it's racist. Stein isn't racist, the show's writers are probably not racist, but that line absolutely was. It absolutely was not but this is not really the place so I'm not going to go further. Machete is probably right anyways, what should be more concerning is we hit the underprivileged athlete / youth criminal stereotypes for the two Firestorm candidates.

Phenotype posted:Is it? Again, it was a clumsy line, but if he'd said something like "it's just like moving your feet through a training drill" or whatever, something more specific, it wouldn't be discussed, and I seriously doubt the intention of the writers was any more than "have Stein encourage Jackson by making it feel like football." I feel like "gross and racist" are way more inflammatory terms than it really warrants. I think he's talking about the whole episode, i.e. the underprivileged black football player and the black academic achiever with the sealed juvenile record. If you are talking about the "natural athleticism" line only that's clearly over the top because in the context of what we know in the episode it isn't racist at all.

Party Plane Jones posted:What happened between Patty and Barry in the PD? My station cut to commercial early for some loving reason and then came back in while Cisco and Wells 2 were talking. Barry asked her to dinner, she got excited but asked if this was going to be a situation where she gets excited but "science" comes up for Barry and he has to cancel, Barry said nope. Which means something Flash is absolutely going to come up during their date.

Earth-2 Flash is a total gently caress-up. So at least that is constant between the two worlds. Also, Spivot being really on the ball is great.

I honestly believe that Barry got significant brain damage when he was struck by lightning but nobody wants to tell him so he runs around as the Flash but doesn't really understand that he is super fast.
