Yup, the numbers are great, so there's no need for any concern.

She's the Laurel of Flash. It is our cross to bear.
Iris is for now the weakest point of Flash show.
With Katlin they are building toward something, with Thawne they are keeping him as "unoffensive background char", but Iris is thrown in every episode without any purpose [IMO]. But OK, she is a small bad point in a awesome show that only aired 2 episodes.

Hey, let's not get overboard. At most she's Thea - useless, but inoffensive. She's not a poison the way Laurel was

It is! That's what I was coming here to say. That's the Surrey SFU Mezzanine. They were filming there a few weeks back.
Yeah, it's a bit tripe, but it is her background
It's also Lois'
And Vicki Vale
DC only knew how to make one type of girlfriend back in the day
At least, Carol is a business owner!

It's more like 1200mph if he can indeed run a mile in 3 seconds. 900mph if it's in 4.
Knowing these writers? Not very long.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
If Iris West is the low point of the show then I think we're doing just fine.
Giving Felicity a damn run for that dress-swag crown.

She is pretty and happy, so indeed a pretty damn good low point. Laurel was literally sucking out life out of every scene she was in.

Okay. I really like Grant's Portrayal of The Flash. It's growing on me now.
Arrow did not have explosion that covered his entire city with theoretical particles and radiation. He had list of gangsters to kill off, and then remnants of his past started to haunt him when they heard about his exploits in Starling City.
That is true, but he even kept it from his friends.

Iris in comics starts out as Flash's girlfriend, they get married and have virtually no relationship drama. I know this is the CW so there has to be *some* drama, but hopefully it's kept to a minimum.

It's only been two episodes but the people in charge I think have made it pretty clear that they're not fans of the "hero hiding his identity from the people close to him" thing, Amell even said as much at the NYC Comicon the other day.

Those boots and dress are an odd combination but I can work with it. But yeah if Iris is the low point so far I think we're good, I doubt she'll ever get to Laurel levels or worse, Lana Lang levels.
Oh well, that explains why I already like her just as much as Laurel
Also, will we have the EXACT SAME discussion in Flash OT as the Arrow OT kept doing for quite some time now?
Is there truly no plot time left for normal human beings to have storylines in shows like this? I mean...read a comic, see that Mary Jane does have her own subplot in Spider-Man, even though she does not have powers, or might not even be related story-wise to Peter at all points.

I wish they would make Vale more like Lois, she is so damn bland.

This has climbed to my second most anticipated show every week after Boardwalk
It's just a damn joy to watch. Makes me miss raimi's Spider-Man movies more than anything right now
I'm glad they took a different approach than arrow. Make one light hearted and the other more brooding. If they both followed the same tone I think one of the show's would bleed viewers

Not sure I like this show so far. A bit too much cheese. Some of that dialogue was downright embarrassing. Hopefully it will get better. After all Arow certainly improved tenfold compared to how it was when it first started.

Great episode. I loved how they referenced Firestorm and, indirectly, Metamorpho.
"We were all struck by lightning" is the greatest line of all time.
I hope they at least reference his metabolism in the future instead of just ignoring it.
Also, the energy bar made me think of the one that Wally endorsed in Justice League

Good follow-up episode. Got a kick outta seeing my school in the fight at the end.
So at least they're getting the dad issues stuff outta the way early. That shit with Barry saying Joe ain't his father... that shit cuts deep. It's good that they resolved it at the end. Pretty heartwarming.
Multiplex was pretty good, though that actor looks like he's on the verge of tears at all times.
I really like Danielle Panabaker as the haunted anti-Felicity. Her getting pissed was great. Cisco still comes off as too ditzy to me.
I really like Cavaunagh though, a lot. I still don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy at the end. Is he future Barry, having gone insane cause of time travel!? Is he the Reverse Flash!? Is he something else altogether!? So mysterious, and the actor plays it quite chillingly effectively at the end.
Iris is cutting Barry deep, Jesus.
The effects were really good in this episode. Good to see they're holding up. Barry's super-speed is done really, really well. Loved him punching the shit out of all the clones at the end to catch the real Multiplex, with a single drop of sweat giving him away.
Yeah, like holy Christ, lady.

I think they're playing her as oblivious... which is a stretch, but I don't know that they've indicated she knows.
Is anyone else a little weirded out by the quasi-incest foster-sister angle? I think it's sweet when Barry explains how Joe is like his father, but then imagine the same speech explaining how Iris is like his sister and he still wants to get with her!
We outlaw incest even if both parties are sterile and can't possibly reproduce because there is a psychological element and entanglement to siblings raised together. They didn't have to write it that way... but did. As long as the show doesn't get angsty about it and keeps it light, it should be OK... but it could get really creepy.
I am now that you mention it, but before I was too busy hoping they didn't get together simply because her character is grating.
Unfortunately, I don't agree that she's oblivious. It feels like she gave him the friendzone speech and flirts with her boyfriend in front of him not to spite him, but to say specifically that she's not interested in return so he should give up.
Also, someone else mentioned it earlier, but it makes no sense that her dad doesn't want her to know that Barry is meta-human. If he thinks Barry endangers her, then he shouldn't let them be anywhere near each other. If he doesn't, then he should let Barry tell her.
You know what I'm really dreading, though? Is if the eventual revelation that Barry's the Flash is what finally pushes Iris' buttons, gets her to think he's interesting. I'm not saying it will happen, but I would hate it if they only get together because she finds his quickness fascinating.

I'm happy for both shows. I want them to be ratings buddies.
We should all encourage mutual success. It'll only help fuel our nerdtastic tendencies.

Honestly, better than the Oedipus complex they gave him in the comics.
Okay, Oedipus complex might be too strong, but definitely a mommy fixation. That and Iris is totally hawt enough to have sisbang thoughts about.

But being ratings buddies is fantastic for The Flash and terrible for SHIELD.

How does Barry talk over the comm when his mask is off? Isn't the comm built into the mask?
I think it's built into those lightning bolt things on the ear.

Yeah. When the mask is off and hanging back like a hood, those things aren't on his ears. How does he hear through it like that?
