The Flash S3 |OT| It was me, Barry.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Decent episode. I wish the fight was better though, Flash so slow Grodd smacks him with a shield on the first attempt.

Supergirl is fucking shit and by far the worst show. I call her Kara Job-El.

Yeah, I liked season 1 but this season has been a total slog to get through.

EDIT: Urgh, not looking forward to the musical episode at all

Season 3 have been pretty bad for the most part. There are a few episodes that are decent, although too far apart. I gave up on Supergirl a few episodes ago. And I am really close to do it with Flash as well.

The show have failed to do character development. There is absolutely none of it at all. It is almost like the cast forgets what they have been doing the previous episode.

They should stop doing all this super villain shit, and actually do something that can be done on this budget. The gorilla battle was a waste of everything. I'd rather see them solve some disasters or actual threat to people. The city has become irrelevant. This is a show about speed. Make them use it in a more diverse way. All the science stuff have also disappeared for the most part.

It is sad one of my favorite shows become such a boring mess.

Blah. Wish they
went the full Buffy way and make it basically the entire episode singing

I'm still excited at seeing this little cross-over though

I agree, character development has been pretty non-existent pretty much this whole season. I think you could send this Barry or probably any character that was around to this point in season two and there wouldn't be much difference.

Catching up with the Flash and it's been fine to decent. Supergirl is the best show this season, been kicking it out of the park.

Enough into this to know that's it's been better than the lackluster seasons the other shows have been having.

Enjoy the train of worst Arrowverse episodes about to plow you over.

Hope you ain't including Arrow in that.

I remember a while ago someone saying that Kid Flash would never been on here because the creators didn't want it to be a Flash and friends show and here we are with Kid Flash and Jesse Quick.

I'm not here defending this and reddit hasn't gone nuts. But I hope the thread doesn't go as hyperbolic as back then.

In defence of the crossover synopsis, at least the way its handled can explain Victor Garber and John Barryman's inclusion, not sure how they could explain them showing up otherwise.

I complain every week, so at least I'm consistent!

Might just be the ebb and flow of these shows. They get too wrapped up in their own formula, then spend time course correcting.

I do think this back half of episodes have been a major improvement for this season. The big bad throwing new metas at Flash was a literal rehash from last season, so I'm happy to see they stepped back from that and gave the team a different goal.

Garber has plenty of reason to show up due to the whole Stein's daughter thing.

Barrowman's actually interacted with Flash before. And randomly showing up is his thing.

Musical Episode Spoiler Talk

Superhero comics are so inherently ridiculous that a villain that makes people sing is on the tame side compared to:

- A military invasion by super intelligent gorillas from a parallel universe
- A speed god having a cult that puts people in cocoons, so they can gain the powers they had in an alternate timeline
- The "fastest man alive" being chased down by bees. Regular bees.

It seems like such a weird thing to pull the brakes on and say "Whoa, this is too crazy for our grounded universe." Haha, we'll see how the ep goes. Might still be fun.

It is probably more something like
dude is just a regular guy aside from the singing so we have to find a way to depower the heroes, so let's give him the power to create alternative dimensions.

The "Dream World" part probably allows them to go goofier. Straight up hypnosis would explain singing and dancing, but not bystanders playing along or staging/lighting/etc. resembling a musical or cartoon. They can go bigger with this version of events than they could with a direct adaption of the Music Meister's B:tBatB rules.

Rankings for Arrowverse shows

1. Arrow - Season 3 was a bit of a valley, 4 was just Season 2 again, but 5 is a legit season right now. Best show in the Arrowverse.

2. Legends of Tomorrow - Since dumping the Hawks and Savage and kinda Rory, they hit a stride. These episodes with evil Rory have been...eh for the most part, but it's still been an overall good season

3. Flash - Flash was dipped in quality since Season 1 which was it's peak and this season is just there existing

4. Supergirl - Supergirl was the second best show and then the corssover episode happened and it's been way downhill since. That show does not matter besides Melissa Benoist

One of the Arrowverse Rorys hasn't been evil, and the other isn't even on Legends... yet.

Pretty much. Legends and Arrow are in the same class, but legends has stumbled a couple of times. Flash and Supergirl are in a class together, but Flash has had a few more highs (like Gorilla City)

Lillian has actually been a pretty good villain, but she's hampered by her lack of a singular plan. She is a long term villain with episodic schemes, so Flash right now is at the bottom of the villain rankings.

That dude was just on Gotham as an acolyte of their proto Joker! Man, those few seconds in The Dark Knight have been good for his career.
