Meh. That was pretty much exactly what you could expect from character like Barry. People do get cheesy in real life from time to time.

It might be easier to excuse as "Barry cheese" if there weren't 20 other shitty lines in the episode, or if there wasn't a very similar line from Oliver in the pilot. It's just bad dialogue.

Meh, I think you're overreacting. Most of the dialogue is fine and most of all, even weaker lines are managed to be sold convicinly. And Oliver doing the cheese is weird, but Barry can do cheese as much as he wants to .

Glucose fuels muscle tissue and we've just seen how quickly Barry burns through it. The Flash looking like a body builder isn't going to happen (or at least shouldn't).

I'm glad the melodrama between Joe and Barry seems to be eliminated this early, tv-shows always get better when the main characters stop worrying and just goes with the flow - he's a superhero, now go do superhero stuff!
Now he just needs to tell Iris as well so we dont get the Spider-Man/Superman cliches again.
The flashbacks are not good btw. The kid actor is terrible. No more of that please.

I can't get past the dopey look the kid has about him and he doesn't even remotely look like grown up Barry. I think we're stuck with him for as long as they do the flash backs. Hope they're a lot more limited than Arrow's though.

lol..funny thing, the actor who will be playin thein episode 3 on Flash will also be playing Victor Zsasz on GothamMist metahuman
Now Zsasz would be a good villain for Gotham but most definitely out of place in Central city.

The glucose thing will probably never come up again, it was just an easy way to show "growing pains".
I don't expect him to be Amell levels of buff, but some more muscle mass would help sell his superhero status. We don't need a reason other than it's for TV and sex sells.

Does anyone know if Wally has been cast?
You know that new hunky fella in Sleepy Hollow was one of the finalists to play Barry? What might have been, eh?

I really liked this episode. Events happened so fast, and episode "felt" like it was much longer, new segments just kept on rolling in. Special effects of "fast combat" were very well done.
CW is knocking it out of the park, can't wait to see first crossovers with Arrow.
Yeah, I think I was at around the 26 minute mark checking the time because I thought the episode was nearly done with how much that had already been covered.
I wonder how we're going to be handling the cross-over, I mean obviously covering most of the Flash side here and the Arrow side on that OT but that seems like it'd be a pain since it's going to be so tied together. I guess there should just be an expectation for that episode that everyone has already watched The Flash episode at least when it goes to the Arrow side of things.
Barry super speed salmon ladder sounds like something that should happen.
Not yet and I'd be surprised if they introduced him so soon but they're only filming episode nine with 13/14 left. Wally should be like around 10 (maybe a little younger) at this point I think.
No casting news on that front.

Yeah, I remember. Matt Barr is ridiculously sexy. I'm glad he's on Sleepy Hollow though, that show needed some beef. (Tom is lovely, but he doesn't really get a chance to be "sexy".) And you can only creep on the headless horseman's bangin' body so long without feeling super weird. XD
And I've got no qualms with Grant Gustin. He's very handsome, and I think he's doing an amazing job. I just would like to see him increase his protein intake a smidge.
I'm ready.

People have compiled a more comprehensive examples of all the changes from the leaked pilot to the final product. There's a lot more there than I thought there was.

You should add this to the initial OT post.

You know CG is looking alright and even if it wasn't as long as it isn't something horrendous that could have been shot IRL I will forgive it.
Seriously there was a green screen shot of some asian town on the show Last Resort,
a main character added in walking across it which will never be topped as the worst visual ever on tv.

Nothing tops the Lost submarine for pathetic CGI.
Nope, Last Resort green screen made Lost sub look like a decent blockbuster's CG.
I really need to get an image or gif of that scene.
It was like a local news station's level green screen.
That's a redherring because only a few comics for any single character could be noted as quality material instead of enjoyable shlock. You're talking about a few comics among dozens or even hundreds made over decades.

anything by Mark Waid or Geoff Johns.
as for Multiplex being able to copy both his clothes and the gun...
it is possible that anything that he touches he can also copy.
A good episode, glad to see the special effects are still there and actually not that bad, so I'm hopeful for coming episodes.
But seems like I still don't understand the extent of his speed in this show. For example, at the end when Black fell down, why didn't Barry run down the stairs and try to save him somehow? Wouldn't he be fast enough to do that?
I'm guessing one reason could be that he's still quite new with this power and perhaps the thought never occurred to him. Or something.

I don't think he's that fast, not yet anyway. Especially because he would have to stumble through long hall completely littered with bodies.
Plus I do think he normally functions on regular everyday speed (otherwise he would just go insane) and there is some slight delay before he enters the super speed
Wiktor
Member
He's supposed to grow in power as the show progresses. I don't know if he will ever get this fast on the ground, but at least in some way he has to if they want to handle the time travel

He's just getting started. I liken it to Superman in the Man of Steel movie gradually increasing his strength by pushing his limits.

They did, don't think the yellow uhh trim or whatever was there in the pilot.
EDIT: Actually I guess not, just probably more noticeable because his in the suit a lot more in the second episode and we get a better look at it.
I like it, really. Also, the suit looks less gimpy.
PHOENIXZERO

I went back and checked, the yellow was there before. I think we just got more looks at it in the second episode than we did in the first where the few minutes he was in it were spent at night.
That Firefighter sounded way too whiny when he said "I knowww!", though.

This looks a lot like the Surrey SFU campus above the mall.
I could be wrong, but based on his speed and distance, I feel like that should have done more than knock him out for 10 seconds...
