♪Cool guys don't look at explosions♪
this show is so fucking ridiculous the force of that plane would have ripped them apart gOD
I love this show so much. It never fails to meet my expectations.
There were so many hilarious moments in this episode. Where do I even start? Barry saying "Oh my God, I've become Oliver"? Harry and Cisco's bickering? All the different versions of Harrison Wells? Barry getting kicked out of the house? I honestly can't pick my favorite.
One little thing I really enjoyed was the exchange of "I love you's" between Barry and Joe in the middle of their awkward conversation at the precinct. It was such a small moment, but it literally made me go "Awwwwww". I love my beautiful family.
Mirror Master and Top were cool, I guess? As far as villains of the week go, they weren't outstanding, but the way they trapped Mirror Man at the end was pretty awesome.
No! Jesse and Harry! Come back! I don't want Harrison Wells with a sense of humor! Give me my Harry/CIsco bromance back!
Is Joe finally getting a love interest? Yay, you go, Dad Cop! You deserve it!
Caitlin, my sweet baby... Don't worry, everything will be fine, we still love you. Just don't turn evil, please. I mean, I really don't think the writers will go down that road. If they do, I'll be really, really angry. We have such a wonderful team dynamic on this show and Caitlin's an important part of it. There's absolutely no need to ruin that.
I'm a big fan of time travel stories so that's kept me watching this show. I'm glad I did as this show is getting better all the time. It's good to see old school DC characters like Commander Steel and Vixen on the team, both are looking like they're gonna be interesting members.
The story was decent enough tho maybe a lil standard, evil Shogun terrorising village, forcing one of the women to marry him, hero enters, falls for girl, must fight Shogun to save girl and her village.
The surprise was the destruction of Ray's Atom suit, now what's he gonna do?
So lemme guess with his lasts words being time traveler the JSA will think the legends did it? I also notice this show is where all the other DC show villains go to retire.
"I love roasting Nazis"
Rory saying that just makes it better haha
I hate the medical scene .. too far fetched and completely unbelievable in terms of how things resolved .. How can you things end and conclude like that? I expect tension and more dramatic scenes but
I gave it now three episodes to see where they are going with this.
Terrible. Still too violent for a MacGyver, the story of this particular episode was very odd.
"Killing" a guy only temporarily for so long without any kind of brain damage (or bleeding out) as a result was stretching it too much for me. At least the "assholeness" of MacGyver was tuned down a bit these last two episodes.
But I still dislike Lucas Till as the new MacGyver, he's still too much of an I-can-do-everything guy.
However, there's no point in complaining every episode that this MacGyver is too violent or Till not really a fit for this role. Although, let it be mentioned that an attempt at a non-violent action show would set this apart from all the other action packed shows.
And please get rid of these stupid jumpcuts (the "sniper" incident, when they were driving away with the white car, wtf is that cutting for?) and the atrocius CG(I) gunfire.
Speaking of getting rid of, write Wilt out. He's such a misplaced character. I liked the actor in Rush Hour, really, and I think it'd be not bad to have him in this in a more serious and important role but definitely not as Wilt. I'm thinking of Simon Pegg's character in Mission Impossible for him.
The MacGyverness felt more natural this episode (remember the bowl of paperclips in episode 2? they go too far with this), as inaccurate and stupid some of it seemed. That's another plus.
There are too many better (action) shows airing that it feels difficult to specifically recommend this over the others.
The only thing that might keep me watching is Tristin Mays as Riley. She reminds me of a young Jessica Alba and with that I get reminded of Dark Angel that I loved to watch back then.
A quickie while guarding a witness ? lol. Not very professional.
Good shooting, it was clear that something would happen to her
so wally's totally gonna get mixed up with alchemy to get powers. also it's really strange to see joe's daughters kissing... on a serious note, let's be honest the change of scenery didn't do shit to how boring they are together.
"You're like a second daughter, you overshare your feelings" xD
"That's her panic button, you know, because we kept getting kidnapped."
These quotes had me laughing.
You get powers! You get powers! Everyone gets powers!!
That episode was absolutely amazing. So glad to have Harry back. Tom Cavanagh is an amazing actor. I hope he stays throughout the season. That scene with Jesse and Harry in the end was absolutely beautiful <3
Also why do I get the feeling that Julian Albert is the Alchemy? xD
Overall I absolutely loved the episode. 10/10
Hot damn, this season is so good. Everything about it is just absolutely awesome.
That opening scene was great. It was super cool to see how differently Barry experiences things.
Harry and Jesse are back! I'm so happy! Let's hope they stick around for a while.
Magenta was a pretty fantastic villain. I'm always a sucker for the whole Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde thing. I can't even really blame her for her actions. There aren't many things in the world that I hate more than abusive parents. Sure, trying to destroy a hospital full of innocent people was way too extreme, but I can't say that I don't understand her motivations. Oh, and her hair was dope.
"Dad cop" is wonderful. And Barry being a "second daughter" made me giggle.
I can't wait for Team Flash to find out about Caitlin's powers.
Julian is a freaking asshole. Everything about him, from his stupid vest to his stupid messy hair, screams bad guy to me. How can you hate Barry Allen? That's just not physically possible. Look at him. He's the sweetest person in the world.
That last scene with Harry and Jesse was so good and pure. It made me really happy.
I've talked about Barry and Iris before, but god damn it, that is some tooth-rotting fluff right there. It should be illegal to be this cute. I can't stop grinning like an idiot.
I have to say that I enjoyed this episode. I like the chemistry that is being written for the new "Team Arrow". WildDog is the impulsive hot-head who bites off more than he can chew, Artemis is the willing student, Ragman is the misunderstood member of the team, and Curtis is the comic relief. I was surprised that the show pulled off Mr. Terrific's costume. Cody Runnels (Rhodes) was good as the bad guy for this episode. Diggle in prison is interesting. I even managed to not fast-foward or mute the television when the segments with Felicity came on.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm... cautiously optimistic about this season? We're 3 episodes in and so far it's good. I'm actually enjoying watching Arrow again.
Am I still bitter about Diggle having a son instead of a daughter in this timeline? Yes, I am. It shouldn't be a big deal, really, but for some reason it makes me sad.
The new team is slowly growing on me. Right now Wild Dog is your typical stubborn, hot-headed idiot, but hopefully he'll get better. Curtis quips way too much and it's not half as charming as when Cisco does it on The Flash, but he was actually useful in this episode, so kudos to him for that.
John and Lyla's relationship is honestly my favorite on the show. I always enjoy their scenes together.
I'm curious to see what will happen next with Felicity and Rory. There's potential for some quality angst there, but I'm not sure if I trust the writers to handle this dynamic properly.
I'm totally here for Bad Bitch Thea Quinn destroying the asshole reporter. Get wrecked, Susan.
The slow-mo shot of Oliver walking away from the explosion was cool in that weird cringey way where it was almost too cheesy to handle, but somehow still made my inner 8-year-old jump and clap her hands with glee.
Oh, and apparently ingesting a drug slowly fries your brain and destroys your internal organs, but if you bathe in it, you're suddenly invincible? How does that even work?
So it looks like we're getting Prison Break: Arrow Edition next week! Just please, kill the bastard that framed John while you're at it.
Had a little shout out to Ninja Turtles 2 (2016) when Oliver said hockey masks are cool for vigilantes to wear.
What a fantastic episode! Barry continues to understand the error of his ways and tries to deal with them in his own way. I really love the Barry and Cisco dynamic this episode. Cisco being able to help Barry but also not be OK with what Barry did makes their relationship the most intriguing so far. The new big bad is finally not a speedster. Here is to another great season!
After two episodes I read missed the intro, which should be slightly changed.
My name is Barry Allen, and I screwed everyone's lives. To my friends from another time line I am an ordinary speedster, but secretly with the help of my time in the speedforce I learnt nothing and changed entirely the time line to save my mom and dad. I kidnapped the man who killed my mom, but in doing so, another speedster sent Kid Flash into a comma and my memories were almost gone. And I am the only one dumb enough to go back in time again. I am screwed.
I can totally see it
Well, here's hoping Barry finally learns not to mess with the damn timeline. Also, apparently not one episode can go by without him explaining time-travelling stuff while drawing lines on a board.
Alchemy looks like poor man's Nazgul, but he's sufficiently creepy and powerful. He'll probably be a pretty compelling villain once we learn more about him.
Can Barry and Iris please stop being so darn cute?
Caitlin has her Killer Frost powers! Does this mean she's going to sport white hair and a tacky leather outift like her Earth-2 counterpart? Or talk like she went to Leonard Snart's school of unnecessarily drawing out words? I sincerely hope not. Maybe she could put on a blue dress and belt out "Let It Go" in the musical crossover with Supergirl? Because I'd be okay with that.
I hated seeing Cisco sad, but I'm glad he and Barry made up at the end of the episode. His gauntlets were pretty sick too.
Oh, and it seems that Draco Malfoy changed his name and moved to Central City to be a metahuman expert? I guess things didn't work out for him in the Wizarding World.
This was a really emotional episode with a lot of angst and sadness, and yet the thing that upset me the most was that baby Sara is baby John now. I'm not okay with this. Give Dig his adorable baby girl back right now.
That kiss in the end was 3 season in the making. About time!
Anyone can just walk into GCPD like it's a flea market. One would think they already learned out of their past mistakes. That's the thing I hate about this show, police department is so bad.
The episode felt a little all over the place jumping between the Oliver scenes, Diggle scenes and the flashbacks, but it's still more enjoyable than most of last season. I think they're starting to head in the right direction again.
Massive missed opportunity! Instead of Riggs grabbing the nailgun, Murtaugh grabs it. Banger still says "got no nails, homie" to which Murtaugh replies "homie don't play dat." Writers, I'll expect my check in the mail.
Barry Allen the stupidest man alive is back. This show played so much with time traveling that's it doesn't make sense anymore and it's impossible not getting confused about it.
"Now, who's the villain Flash? Now, who's the villain?" I got goosebumps, literally.
My body is ready, slugger.
While most of the Avengers are taking a "vacation" in Wakanda, SHIELD is out there saving the world again and again. Maybe SHIELD should be in the movies and not the other way around. AHAHA jk. Tony Stark and Vision may be the only ones that knew what was happening and still they would need to ask the UN for authorization. I guess they could send the military first and only them as last resort. The thing I didn't get was about the three EMP devices in the USA (Miami, LA and DC) but Coulson, Mack, Fitz and Yo-Yo only deactivated one of them, right? So who deactivated the other two EMP? I was bit confused there...
I guess New York should've been the primary target from the Watchdogs but then they would need to explain why the Defenders weren't there.
I loved this episode. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
First of all, I'm actually really scared of blackouts. I mean, if something like this happened to me and I had to live without electricity for the rest of my life, I think I'd prefer to die. I know that the blackouts in this episode only lasted a few hours, but seeing all those big cities without any lights made me feel super anxious.
Daisy, my love. I wish they'd just let you live in peace for 5 seconds.
No one can break my heart like Jemma Simmons crying. But hey, at least May's okay! Those hallucinations were terrifying.
The MVP award in this episode goes to Fitz saving the day using homemade compasses and trigonometry.
Is it just me, or are they setting up a Coulson/May romance? After 3 seasons of barely hinting at it, I didn't really expect them to make it happen, but everything's pointing in that direction. Which is fine, although I still have hope that Amy Acker's character, the Cellist, will return someday.
A better episode than the pilot, in my opinion. The bias and expectations from the original are now gone, so I can now enjoy and respect it for what it is. So, the second episode felt more natural and interesting. We'll see where this thing goes.
