    Or how they mention fighting Metahumans is "just another Tuesday."

    Because the episodes air on Tuesdays....

    I've had that thought too. Hopefully it's TV logic and not something far more disturbing.

    Wondered about that too...

    Could be Wells came up with the STAR Labs Sea Shell program for those private times.

    Arrow and Flash are basically American Tokasatsu

    Arrow = Kamen Rider W

    Flash = Kamen Rider Gaim

    Anyone else thinking Wells was split into two people by the explosion, or at least two personalities. Like the one we see with Barry doesn't even know the other exists?

    I think it kind of makes it funny with the competition between all the superhero shows. Agents of SHIELD is well we can't give you this, that, and the other because we can't afford movie stars on TV, Arrow is we can't give you that because we are a serious show about serious people and the sexist geek girl on TV, Gothem is we can't do that because it's before the costumes, but Flash is oh the heck with that we'll give out all the comic book goodness your nerdy little heart could desire.

    I'm not that knowledgable about the Flash comic continuity (I had only knew Wally West from the JLU cartoon), but I've read somewhere that the Bart Allen Flash had a speed force ability that allowed him to send multiple clones back in time. That could be what allowed Wells to be beaten up by himself.

    Yeah, I hope the popularity of the Flash leads to more shows to stop avoiding it and just giving us Superheroics.

    It's a budget and IP issue not a willingness to go all out

    I love it when they break the fourth wall like that. :lolol 

    That's a possibility I hadn't considered.


    That would be nice. I hope that's the case and not because they don't think it's "hip" or "cool". I love seeing superheroes saving people....it's one of the idealized things I like about superheroes.

    So glad the general is gone. He was a real dick. As soon as he told Wells that he knew about Barry being The Flash I knew he was a goner. You don't mess with Harrison Wells.

    I find it funny that there are way too many people that know about Barry's "secret identity".

    Also, Iris needs to keep her nose out of this. Of course being the new reporter she's going to want to break the big story. Hopefully she breaks something else.....like her neck.

    If they could just get their heads out of their asses and allow the use of the Holy Trinity.The whole Batman is off limits is stupid.I just don't get it.They can have 2 different people play GA and Flash on the big/little screen doesn't confuse people.Having 2 different people play batman in the same way would confuse people. Its the main reason i don't watch Gotham.I don't care about how these characters all have intertwined childhoods now....and i just don't care about a show that is based off of batman and doesn't have batman in it.

    I enjoy watching these shows every week and have all the DVD sets.I try to support these shows any way i can just to show them i support SUPERHERO shows.I think it would be cool if DC used TV to build their universe and do a team up/big even in a movie.Make it so you wouldn't need to see the shows to understand whats going on.

    Sorry,rambled there.

    That whole paragraph really makes me thing that Barry should tell Iris. It got really ridiculous when he revealed himself to Girder and Martin Stein's wife, but not to her.
