The FLASH TV SERIES

[Jim Kelly]

They should be able to develop stories around different characters for each episode, rather than always putting Barry in the spotlight. I'm sure Grant Gustin doesn't want to be in every scene. So I don't understand why having two speedsters is a problem. It should make it easier on the actors.

With LEGENDS OF TOMORROW setting up a Hallowe'en episode next week, I thought FLASH was doing the same thing--if the West house is being haunted by Joe's great uncle--but I guess next episode will be nothing special. Other than introducing Ralph (who would have been good for a haunted house story).

My place has the same strange noises as the West house--especially at night. A rationalist would say it's just the furnace, but I believe this place was built on an old native burial ground and the spirits of the ancestors are making their presence known.

I am surprised maybe some one said it and I Haven't seen it in comments yet, but everyone commenting on the diapers line barry said while leaving out the line Joe Dropped with "This house is bitchin" line.

My mother taught me not to use that kind of language.

It occurred to me: Joe and Cecile were agonizing over the thought of paying 15 grand to repair the pipes in the West house, but couldn't they have had Wally and Barry fix the pipes in a flash? Wally is an engineer, after all, and even if he and Barry aren't plumbing experts, with their speed, they could read every plumbing manual in the world, memorize the info, acquire the necessary materials, and fix the pipes within seconds.

Or they could just call their good friend Oliver Queen to pay for it .

Or heck, just outfit the house with a STAR Labs retrofit to make it state-of-the-art. Although that might also make it more dangerous .

That reminds me of another thing...shouldn't Wally still be in college? I know it was a plot point in season 2 that he was looking at schools and he started attending in season 3 before he became Kid Flash.

I mean, he can probably super-speed between his classes and Central City and his home in Blue Valley if he needs to, and I doubt Joe would approve of him dropping out, but it just seemed weird.

Trust me when I say; reading about plumbing is one thing, having to actually DO it is something else.

When Wally started to say he was going away--I thought he was going to say he was going to college. Blue Valley seems like it could be a college town in the Arrowverse.

Now that I think about it, did they actually have enough evidence to arrest Becky on?

The only real crime she committed was the robbery but her bad luck powers prevented video cameras and anyone from actually seeing her taking the money. Though I guess they could track down the Uber driver who saw her coming out with bags of money. Or maybe they actually found the stolen money?

I guess Team Flash could prove her powers were causing the disasters that were happening around the city at the time, but she was completely oblivious to that happening. It feels like that would warrant putting power dampeners on her rather then a stay at Iron Heights.

It's possible she may have confessed to the robbery once Barry turned her over to the police, though even if she didn't I guess without her powers she'd probably get the book thrown at her anyways even with circumstantial evidence.

IMO the only thing that sinister look from Wolfe means is that he has no problem holding those he deems guilty in prison with little to no proof. Oh and he'll use his power on them at some point.

In other words, you're right but Wolfe will look past that and probably say something like "close enough here's her cell."

If this version of Wolfe is anything like he is in the comics, then I expect something is definitely going on at that prison and that the prisoners are very likely not being treated as fairly as they could be (on-top of him probably using his powers to abuse and keep them in-line).

It wouldn't even surprise me if he views Hazard as equal to Kilg%re because they're both Metahuman criminals, even if Becky never set out to intentionally hurt or knowingly kill anyone like Kilg%re did.

I don't think they would have cast Wolfe and have him show up, as well as set up Iron Heights as being integral to the Thinker's plan, if there wasn't plans to delve into what's going on there at some point.

If Becky was using the money from the bank at the casino then they wouldn't be able to trace the money back to her since she would have traded it in for chips. This was an issue in Vancouver, where casinos were taking large bills that were probably from organized crime and essentially money laundering. I don't know if the Starlight Casino was involved--but Becky might have been smarter than she looks and knew that she could get rid of the bank money at the casino.

I used to take the bus that went by the Starlight Casino on the way to visit my parents. The bus would be packed full with people until it got to that stop in front of the casino. Then the bus would empty and there'd just be me and a couple of other people left, taking the bus further on. Realistically, a lot of people should have got off the bus, as Becky was getting on.

His facial reactions and the other pilot so obviously tempting fate was kind of funny .

I often love hero goes villain if it at least makes some sense for said character. It's why I adored Hal Jordan as Parallax in the comics.

But do it too badly and it just seems stupid (Injustice).

I loved Hal's fall. It made SO much sense. That kind of power, that kind of *will* .... and being told to sit and watch your city of 6 million people DIE? That you have the power at your disposal to fix it... and they won't *let* you??? He just wanted to FIX it all. When he started killing GLs, it was still with the goal of rebooting it all to keep it all from ever happenings. He got desparate, and the ends justified the means, but I thought it was a fantastic idea, if implemented or ended badly.

They basically did the fall of Anakin Skywalker (the best and brightest of them all, but with rogue tendencies and brashness) and the Jedi (GL) Corp years before the prequels, and in some ways much better.

And that makes Kyle Raynor, Luke Skywalke, on the heroes journey.

Damn I miss 90s GL, before all the color coding nonsense.
