How bad was that Plastique actress? or was it just me who noticed..?
Also can we just have Felicity in both Arrow and Flash? considering the female leads in flash are just plain boring and/or annoying..

Wait ... if Wells
knows about the future why is he .... doing Grodd ?

A few reasons. Either he doesn't know about Grodd, or similar to the comics:
if he's Zoom, he believes a hero can be made better through suffering.
Of course he had a strange aversion to Captain Cold and the gun so it doesn't seem he knows about that particular rogue either so it seems he's limited in his knowledge. I guess I always assumed Wells was a time traveler, but so far the evidence only suggests he knows of some future events.

I'm torn. Iris' boyfriend seems like the logical culprit for becoming Zoom based on his name. But Well also exhibits what you're talking about.

I like the show so far besides some reoccurring cheesiness. Iris is hot.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure why everyone assumed Wells was a time traveler in the first place. You show me mysterious room, holographic interface detailing future events, I'm gonna assume it's a machine that lets you see into the future, not a really fancy records room.

Not to mention Professor Zoom's history of time travel. It's actually incredibly easy to see why people would assume time travel. Like the first episode literally says "we've got time travel!" and "here's a dude who knows about the future!". Hell I think that might've been the point.

First episode says that they've got a guy who knows about the future. Time travel is much more up in the air; hell, I'd argue that they might be using fan expectations against them to set up their twist. Fans saw Wells being a) sinister and b) armed with future knowledge, and their experience with the Flash led them to make the leap that he's actually from the future. Just saying, that last step always struck me as a premature, is all :P

CW11 isn't that subtle, b. It's clearly time travel. Might be Thawne instead of Wells, but some one is time traveling.

Even in the first 10 minutes of the pilot you see a red blur zipping around kid-Barry...
 
Just finished Episode 4.

It was nice seeing Felicity in Central City. And I still really love the show.

But the one thing that bothers me right now 2nd the rogues gallery. Hopefully there can be some plot crossover with Arrow.

They did something similar with Arrow, though; they gave us Tommy Merlyn, everyone though they were going to do a Smallville Clark & Lex thing, and then WHAM! Barrowman outta nowhere. You're right that time travel is clearly involved, but its not clear to what extent.

Crossover episode is episode 8, which is pretty soon I think. :D

I think that's definitely a red herring. In fact, I bet that
Wells will basically cause the death of the real Eddie Thawn, the cop, somehow. I'd rather that then Barry steal her and he gets jealous and goes nuts or something.

I think Danielle is improving and making Caitlyn more of a character, with limited material.

Definitely. Good performance, not as strong writing, but I'm growing to really love the character, especially as she warms up.
 
The Flash Hits Highest Rating Since Premiere In Live +3

The Flash continues to run strong in the ratings, reaching its highest rating in the Live +3 viewing category since the premiere.

With a gain of more than 2 millions viewers, “Plastique” became The Flash’s most-watched installment since its sophomore episode, “Fastest Man Alive.” Even bigger however, is the series' 55% jump in the +A18-34 category, from 1.2 to 1.85 million, giving the Flash its highest rating yet since its pilot episode in October. And finally, The Flash was also the highest rated broadcast show last Tuesday, November 11th, with a 73% rise in in the M18-34 category.

New episode today:
Season 1: episode 6 "The Flash Is Born"

Many people are now aware of the "Red Streak" saving lives, but Barry Allen is eager to make a name for himself. He wants everyone to know who the "Red Streak" really is. Although, his actions cause unexpected consequences.

The thing I liked most from last episode was Joe's reaction to Barry being able to modulate his voice. It felt like a nice genuine moment.
 
I never cared about Iris because it reminds me too much of that Diggle love interest from the first season of Arrow, but they really fucked up her motivations, she is just posting dumb shit online potentially ruining her career, no concrete evidence and showing no remorse with the fact that any potential follow up could open old wounds on Barry. I would have liked the character more if she taped the conversation or something vaguely smart.

The epilogues continue being disjointed, repetitive shit that we are supposed to be paying attention to, but dont add much to the show.

Even better because the voice was probably added in post.
 
Freaking Iron Banner Destiny match took me all the way up to now. i'll catch up in the commercials though.
This Iris monologue is different. I like it. For right now.
