Barry Allen gets struck by lightning and becomes The Flash. I haven't watched Arrow, but it's made by the same people. Please let me know if Arrow is any good.

Axalon EDIT: Changed thread title to include the other DC CW television series, namely Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow and the newly incorporated Supergirl.

I didn't even realize we had a thread for this show. Would've used it sooner if I did.

Arrow's good. Season 3 was a bit lacking for sure though, despite having a good Ra's al Ghul (he simply couldn't make up for other aspects).

Flash Season 1 is by far better than Arrow Season 3. In hindsight I'd say Season 2 would've been on par quality-wise with S3, if not for the fact that Manu Bennett carried that season to awesomeness with his rendition of Deathstroke.

Anyway, enough of Arrow.

How about dat season finale eh?

Yeah. So, here's a thought. If *Spoiler* ends up not *Spoiler*, but then *Spoiler* shoots *Spoiler* and *Spoiler* disappears, doesn't that undo *Spoiler*? And why did Flash punch him in the end? That seemed unnecessary.

I really hate time travel plotlines. Always a mess filled with timey-wimey crap, especially in comics with its infinite multiple universes and stuff.

As for Flash punching him, dude was probably just pissed off at the guy for stabbing his mother in the heart.

Well, that's just rude. I mean, technically speaking,

SPOILER: Click to show

it's his own fault for waving himself off from saving his mom. He should be punching himself in the face. Unless stopping RF from killing his mom would result in RF doing something even worse, and old Flash knew that. Also, I think it's cool that old Flash vibrates like RF. It's like speedsters will do that when they're fully powered, abd young Barry isn't there yet. FYI, saw the while Eddie killing himself thing coming months ago.

Overall i liked The Flash season a lot(can't say the same for Arrow), including the finale.
Time travel shenanigans non-witstanding.

Personally i liked his final decision, it was a touching moment.

SPOILER: Click to show

I didn't like Eddie offing himself, i saw that a mile away, and of course creates the usual problems that Judge Greg pointed out...

Still, i liked it a lot.

My own personal theory is that yes, something worse would have happened.

I'm so out of the loop with comics, I want even fully aware of what that while event entailed. I should watch the animated movie for it.

I will say, this show have me a better appreciation for Barry Allen as the Flash. I do still love the 90's series better.

So I've finished watching the midseason finales for Flash and Arrow before they take a month long break.

SPOILER: Click to show

Flash ended with the unmasking of the major villain of the season after Barry defeated a giant shark man by running so fast he electrified the water he was swimming in and throwing lightning bolts from his hand like he's Zeus. Plus it had Diggle. Diggle is awesome.

Arrow ended with relationship drama taking focus over capturing the main villain of the season thus far. Props to Neal McDonough though for trying his hardest to make the character get taken seriously despite the writing seeming to aim for the contrary. At least this time around Felicity breaking up with Oliver didn't cause the city to explode and force Barry to time travel again and fix everything. Yet.

I miss Deathstroke.

Ah Arrow... everything is going down the toilet, not even the fight scenes are good anymore (they were soooo good back in the first 2 seasons), seriously kick the whole team concept to the curb, just Oliver Digg with some random extras (here and there not everyday).

SPOILER: Click to show

The (not so) funny thing is, Felicity gets angry either way, Oliver tells her she gets mad at him... He doesn't tell her she still gets mad at him... we know that for certain thanks to the time travel thing.
The writers made the character bitchy no matter what, she knows the reasons... but still...

Plus they fixed her spine just so she could do a "righteous indignation" walk away.
Are they sabotaging her or just that out of touch with what their doing?

Flash however is awesome (glad the relationship drama ended) the visit to Earth 2 was trippy, and the final confrontation is setting up to be equally crazy.
And yeah Barry has been shooting lightning for most of season 2, Garrick taught him.

The cast as whole is just better imo.

Obs:Legends of Tommorow, pretty cool so far, looking forward to 2046 Green Arrow episode.

Obs2:Supergirl is gonna be from another Earth/alternate universe, an Okish let's not mess things up compromise.

Having just caught up, the latest Legends of Tomorrow episode also doubles as one of the better Arrow episodes in a long while, possibly without even trying to be one. Shame it took an alternate timeline dystopian future to make happen.

Just caught up. Arrow is being very trying on my patience these days. Lackluster fights, too many supporting players. Flash is still fun even if Flash is awful at using his own powers.

Barry: "I can't win!"

Supporting Team Member: "Barry! I've got a radical new method of dealing with your situation. Have you tried running faster?"

*Barry runs faster*

Barry: "I won!"

Or, there's this situation that has happened more than once.

The Flash arrives.

Flash: I'm here to stop you, villain.

Villain: Here's s distraction to make you look away for a few seconds!

Flash: Oh no, he left the room already! Oh well. No way to catch up to him now.

Kynetyk: Robotech is very of its time. It suffers from stitching together three stories, but there's other good stuff to it. It's more mature than most shows from the early 80s. There's a lot of explicit death going on. Apr 9, 2017 15:09:58 GMT -5

Noelemahc: If you ask me, you're better off skipping Robotech and watching its pieces separately, preferrably the first (Super Dimension Fortress Macross, which spawned the decades-long Macross franchise, a trendsetter in Transforming Mecha genre) and the third Apr 15, 2017 13:06:53 GMT -5
