EDIT: Let's not start a new page with this subject. Instead I'll just echo the sentiment that Wally should join the Legends, if only so the dude has something to do. Svensken fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Oct 25, 2017 |

I mean, there's been plenty of whacky metas, but Hazard is probably a topic that could have skipped if it were up to me.

So, wait, when the plumber said “This house is...” and Joe interjected “Bitchin’?” was that the quote Barry was citing in the season premiere, or was Joe referencing Barry? Or is it some sort of moebius strip of bitchin’ houses? Was Joe there when they deciphered Barry’s writing?

Xarn posted:"Yes, they broke up, so we can have the wedding place + time we wanted instead of them" Barry and Iris are just so great together. Again, Iris's OP lack of fucks is her super power on this show. The funeral/wedding/funeral(?) bit was fantastic. Just them sheepishly slinking away like "good luck not dying, father".

Really irresponsible on the part of the church though. If a priest is allergic to cinnamon incense, don't keep any cinnamon incense. Even food allergies are issues for some foods that make dust easily (flour, peanuts for example), DO NOT USE ALLERGENS IN SMOKE.

Yeah that's a total bummer about Wally. He was finally fitting in a lot better with the show's new mandatory lightheartedness. Agreed he should go on Legends, he would fit in there too and has a built in "I'm trying to step out of the Flash's shadow" story arc built in.

I'm rewatching season 3 with a friend and honestly it's a lot better than I remembered? I think around the mid-way is where it kind of started to go downhill, but the stuff up until the Grodd episodes is still fairly solid. Also makes me wish harder Wally didn't get so poorly written out. When Arrow does a better job of sending off a sidekick, you know you goofed.

'Our whole premise for the climax is that the Flash is made helpless by his suit being hacked!' 'Right but Wally has the same powers and no tech suit.'

They should have differentiated them like in the comics by having Wally be better at some Flash powers than Barry. But with these writers they’d probably do something stupid like “Wally is better at phasing because he has more fast twitch muscle fiber.”

As much as I'd like to see wally on LoT; It would be enormous power creep to have a speedster on the team. Even firestorm has become completely ridiculous, in that they never have them merge and keep contriving reasons to keep jax and stein apart. How many times other than the crossover have we even seen firestorm since the beginning of season 2?

If he was going to be on the show regularly they needed to find a way for Wally to somehow have his own thing. I feel like the threats are also getting sufficiently large scale enough that instead of (or I guess in addition to) just KOing Wally before he can do anything impressive, they can contrive some other thing he has to do, like save civilians or whatever. You can even have a subplot one episode where Wally is frustrated always having to do cleanup work and Barry lets him take point. Like last episode they could have had him trying to help with all the unlucky disasters, only for him to make things worse and have to remain frozen somewhere. Or do like they already do in the comics and have multiple Rogues team up so the team has to split their resources. I think the key thing is to focus on the story and not so much the mechanics of "how do we make this fight interesting with two guys who run fast instead of just one". Wally is differentiated not because he has a different power set but because he is Barry's protege and is a little more inexperienced and impulsive and the focus should be on Barry teaching Wally to be a hero (and maybe learning a little something himself in the process  )

That episode was everything I love about Flash. They seem to be doing their best to bring back the old mojo. I'm also pleased that Wells has already figured out that things are too coincidental to be coincidence and that there is a larger plan at work. Shame about the samurai head.

The samurai head is ridiculous. The team was attacked by a ROBOT SAMURAI. Are you seriously trying to tell me that Cisco wouldn't take that thing apart and examine every last detail of it? IT IS A ROBOT SAMURAI HEAD. There is no way on the face of the earth he wouldn't have been beside himself with excitement at the thought of examining it.

Chokes McGee posted:Alternatively, Barry exudes the Stupid Force in a field around him at all times. I think it's a Central City thing. At the end of the episode the Thinkers sidekick said "They are identifying targets sooner than we planned, perhaps they're smarter than you gave them credit" and the Thinker responds "Perhaps. But I'm Smarter." All Team Flash did was respond to a bank robbery during the middle of the day with 100 witnesses and then pursue the lady who made no attempts to hide herself. If this is a wrinkle in Thinkers plan then unfortunately he isn't actually a super genius and is just less stupid than everyone else. I did like the evil mastermind cliche of playing chess though. It comes built in to his chair.

VictorianQueerLit posted:I think it's a Central City thing. Well tbf when Thinker responded with his "but I'm smarter" line, all he had done was place a webcam in a robot head and hope that Flash's team stuck it somewhere important. So, yeah, "less stupid than everyone else" is probably accurate. I thought sidekick lady might have been referring to them deducing the bus connection, which required at least some investigation.
