I haven't read any post yet. How was it should I be hyped, I know first EP is not always good. Does the show have something to build on?

I've already seen the pilot but watched it again anyway.

I pretty much guessed who the professor fella is even before the reveal. But maybe it'll go in a different direction.

Other thoughts: It was an extremely well done pilot and I'm definitely sticking with the show.

Who did you guess he was?

A nice start, but the CGI is very jarring since it's terrible while Barry was running and with the tornado villain.

I liked a lot of it, but they need to never do a running shot where the camera is looking at his face. Its terrible and it will never be good. Also the runway scene was terrible too.
 
Ain't got no link since I'm on a phone, will edit I get back home.

Flash debuted to a strong 3.4 overnight household rating. Higher than Arrow's debut back in 2012 which was a 3.0.
The number is immense by CW standards.
 
What a great pilot episode. Loved it.

Really excited to see what comes from Wheelchair guy and Iris boyfriend, regarding Zoom/Reverse Flash

I won't say for sure because I find it likely that he's going to be a modification of a certain time travelling character who wants to make him the best flash he can be, or an amalgam of different characters. Alternatively, he could be an agent of another character (in the future) and is acting on his behalf.

Regardless of who he is, I'll enjoy seeing how it plays out.

I know who you mean by the first one.

I personally hope it's somebody new, but we will see.

Are you trolling now?

I mean we get it 'Arrow and Flash aren't good and are sexist and I like The Avengers.' But dude, cut out the absolutes please. You don't speak for all of us, you aren't possessive of facts, and the whole 'I know better than everyone' thing is becoming incredibly patronising.

Dude, I was referencing a meme, lol

Not fan of a long form storytelling, aren't you? :D

I love long form storytelling, but Arrow used atleast half it's screentime for filler. I don't have reason to believe this is going to be different. Really, it's more of an issue of pacing, but either way, I'm fairly confident it's going to feel too long, regardless if you think 17 hours is a long time or not.
 
Anyone watch this show on Comcast cable? During some of the action scenes I noticed very small and hard to notice horizontal lines. Almost like the quality of the signal was low or slow on my Panny Plasma. Never saw this on Blu-Ray on the tv. I'm wondering if it is a signal issue.

Filler? This must be the first time I ever seen someone accuse arrow of having too slow of a pace.

BOOM: #TheFlash opens big, with 4.5M viewers and a 1.8 A18-49. In A18-34, it did a 1.5, second in slot.

THE FLASH finished No. 1 among M18-34 and tied for No.1 among M18-49. Massive debut for the C-Dub

I just marathoned Season 1 of Arrow.

The first five eps are GODLIKE in terms of pace/getting shit done/etc.

Then it has a ton of filler stuff, IMO, until up to Ep 17-18 and such. Then shit gets real again

RE: Flash ratings, good god.

Well... I guess it's good thing most of us here don't have such big problems with it. Shame you can't join us in the sun :)
 
How does the 4.5 Million viewers and the 1.8 rating stack up against other CW premieres?

I guess it's goona loose some viewers in the next few weeks, but this should probably be a safe bet for the next few years if nothing unexpected happens.

I can't thank you enough to everyone that tuned in. I don't really understand the number system but apparently we did very well #theflash


Yeah very well indeed..

No one's more disappointed than me. I would love to love Flash, because I would love to see most of DC's heroes fully realized in all their glory. But it's fine, I got Agents of Shield and Gotham and Gravity falls. I'll start watching Soprano's soon, I think, or something like that. I'm covered in terms of quality shows.
 
So glad to see the ratings come in strong

Flash has always been my favorite so its great to see him have his own show and see it done well (so far at least)
