I rewatched it again earlier and this part....WOW...Gustin emoted very damn well in that scene. You usually see him smiling and happy...but this face has so much to say in just that few seconds. #MurderFace
I really enjoyed that Flash vs RF scene at the beginning. It's realllyyy good.

Wouldn't mind a dofp-like action sequence where you see the ensuing chaos in Barry's point of view

How the hell is this still season 1? This show has more reveals than some shows have in 3 seasons.

Just wanted to pop in here (only recently got my account approved) to say how much I've been enjoying this show.
I followed everyone's advice here on neogaf while I was still a lurker and powered through the terribly cheesy first season of arrow to finally reach the "amazing" second season only to have it leave a slight bitter taste in my mouth. It's a fun show and truly did improve a great deal in the second season but it can't even hold a candle to Flash in my opinion.
I was craving some good comic tv and I went ahead and dived into Flash before really reaching the proper point, continuity wise, from Arrow and I can't begin to express how happy I am that I did. It's been a blast.
I love all the throw backs to the original series which I loved as a child and it has done a masterful job of combing the fun sensibility of comic book with the medium of tv.
I think the acting has been pretty spot on for the most part and it came at just the right time to be able to deliver the special effects needed for a show about the Flash on a budget. Thanks for all the great words about Flash (and to a degree Arrow lol) neogaf. I wouldn't even have considered watching otherwise

I thought they were going to pay this off with him being dumb and the bomb exploding and also exploding the truck. A small lesson to not get too caught up in the adrenaline rush.
Guess anything will do. I'm assuming they went for the truck because it would look more impressive than a normal wall and if they wanted to make it a building it might've been too much extra work to make it look cool. Probably should've chosen a normal semi though.
Rewatching flashpoint, and i guess that scene means that
barry goes back in time to stop himself from saving his mom

Doesn't that
contradict the whole "merge with your past self when you go to the past" that we saw in Out of Time?

he just needs to run faster through time than the speed it takes
for the two flashes travling through time to merge

My only worry about S2 is the villain. If Reverse Flash is the big bad for this year, I'm guessing the Rogues would be the main antagonists of S2 -- and the Rogues are fucking lame. Never liked them in the comics and they're too over the top to take seriously here either.
Reverse Flash, you believe he can and will fuck Barry up. But whenever the Rogues show up here, it feels like the script is bending over backwards to make them a threat.

The big question now is if this show will make a jump like Arrow S1 --> S2, or will it be like Arrow S2 --> S3?

Grodd will probably be the big bad for Season 2.
Yep, my most hated episodes are the rogues ones because we go from the Flash saving people from lightning strikes, catching moving bullets, and fighting the reverse flash at super speed to being completely useless and unable to disable a snarky ass motherfucker with a slow ass gun (who continually loses his gun mind you but somehow manages to get it back three different times already).
Just can't take the Rogues threat seriously when compared to RF, Grodd, or even the Weather Wizard.

I like the Rogues in this show.
The fact is they really aren't making them as powerful as they potentially are in the comics. In the comics, Cold can make mirages and generate "cold fields" of air to slow speedsters and block projectiles. Captain Cold should learn to make cold fields around himself. This would render the Flash to move at normal speed and would be a good justification as to why he can't simply go for his gun. I'm glad they've keptt the strategic planner side of him though.

I was getting Cock Knocker vibes. Kept fearing Barry didn't have a cup in that suit.
I kind of wonder if RF didn't think the whole
thing through. I mean, if he did that than wouldn't that possibly lead to him either not existing at all or perhaps not being anything like how he is?
It'd be funny if it was pointed out to him and he never realized, though he might also not care.

That would have been too much. Mark Hamil saying the other line was perfect because he actually have a connection to Star Wars.
Tom Cavanagh however doesn't. The whole episode wasn't suppose to be full of Star Wars reference. I think most people missed the fact that the episode was full of references from the 1990 Flash show.
I was perfectly happy with Wells "a part of the speed force" line.
It'll be Grodd.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Let's not neglect Hamill's comparison of a day without casualties with the Cubs winning the World Series, a probable Back to the Future reference.

Their plots make very little sense and they're overly campy. I like seeing the Prison Break brothers back together again though.
You should give Agents of shield season 2 a watch if you haven't already. That and The Flash are killing it this season for me.
Eli Stone was created by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, Berlanti was also one of the people who created The Flash. Andrew Kreisberg was a producer on Eli Stone and one of the creators of The Flash, and Matt Letscher said in one interview it was Kreisberg who got him the role of Eobard. So it wouldn't surprise me if we see more of the people from Eli Stone on this.

Did they ever explain what happened to the Barry (tidal wave, kisses Iris) he sees the first time time traveling? Does he just fade away/Merge with Barry or do you think the two of them exist in the world we are seeing right now (Cisco and Captain alive). I think it's the latter but then again Cisco would have noticed two blips on his radar claiming they are both Barry Allen, not to mention the original Barry would also have heard Cisco spazzing (confused) out when he was comminicating with Time Travel Barry. Imo it just wouldn't make sense for them to merge, two of them should exist. He went to a time while he existed, he shouldn't just disappear, it's stupid. With this theory he could never go back and warn himself. But if original Barry heard other Barry on his ear piece he might have freaked out and went into hiding until he figures everything out. Which might be a reason he's fighting himself. It would suck too, what would happen to the extra Barry?
If they did explain or show it, I missed it.
Loving this show but I wish there was more filler. Why don't we see Barry chowing down on 500 cheese burgers every time he exerts energy (like in the comics) to keep his metabolism going and himself alive. Guy burns through calories like a wild fire.
With a forensic scientists salary, he would have to resort to stealing to support his food intake. This is a guy who can't get drunk unless Caitlen and Cisco make something that could knock out a whale, and even that lasts a few mere seconds
I have a question regarding the promo for the next ep.
Around the 51 second mark we see a blonde woman turn around in a chair, at first I thought it was Laurel, but she doesn't look the same, and I don't think it's Sara(time travel shenanigans or not), have we seen this woman before?
Yes that's
the Bug-Eyed Bandit. Atom villain and foil to Felicity. Her outfit even has beehive shaped patterns!
It would just be a stupid fun joke you'd expect shows to make.
That has more to do with the fact hardly anybody has seen that show.

Mark Hamill worked really well within this show's cheesy confines. He was a highly entertaining addition. I want him to team up with the gorilla in a future episode.

Loved when he called out barry applying the antidote to everybody as not being sanitary
Trickster was too good, hoping he comes back in season 2

They don't have the money for it, but Mark Hamill as a reoccurring villain in season 2 would make certain parts of me very happy.

How much could Mark Hamill cost to hire
Besides it seemed like he was doing this just for fun

I thought it was just a hypospray or something. Obviously you can't use the same needle on 200 people.
The only thing stopping Mark Hamill coming back would be Star Wars scheduling. Not just shooting but promotional stuff too. Dude is the biggest comic book fan in the world. You think he does this for the money after his episode VII payday? No way. He was gushing over the cast on Twitter.

Would be pretty damn hilarious if a future episode has a reference to a small localised outbreak of the herp.
