This Barry believes in it, he just knows he doesn't understand it. When he ran into Vandal Savage he realized he was mystical, and enlisted Oliver because he knew Oliver had a lot more experience with the mystic arts.

They just announced Season 3 wrapped production, so we should be getting those episodes sometime soon.

I never watched the Swamp Thing series so I'll have to defer to your judgement on that. I'm perfectly fine with rubber suits (especially now that they can use CG to touch up the funny looking parts of it, I actually prefer stuff like they did with the new Star Wars where you go as much practical effects as possible,…

Deadman was one they really wanted to see how they'd do it in a T.V. show. You could also bring in Madame Xanadu, Doctor Fate, and Shade, The Changing Man to bring in more morally gray heroes/entities, and you could also bring in Swamp Thing (though that might be too much for a T.V. budget, but Supergirl has done…

He's run into it a couple of times, and you must of scrubbed the set up for Legends of Tomorrow from your memory, which is a relatively blissful state to be in. He knows Hawkgirl and Hawkman are magicaly reincarnated along with Vandal Savage being a magic user, he's heard stories from Oliver, and he also knows Vixen…

Although it isn't as well known in pop culture, Kryptonians can get messed up by magic (it's basically their other weakness besides Kryptonite, because they have no special resistance to it), so anyone using magic can beat up a Kryptonian. It's why in the comics he generally leaves the magic supervillains to magic…

They could have even had Barry explain that magic is real and he ran into it a couple times, and explained the difference between metahumans and mystics. Oh well.

It could also be an Earth 3 due to time travel, etc. (We don't know if this is Barry from two years in the future or something dimension hopping.) We also don't know if this was the Barry from Earth 1, as they said there are infinite universes, so there are infinite Barrys as Flash.

Yeah, the Young Justice version of him was fairly dangerous, he was an assassin considered to be on par with Deathstroke. Though in this case his main weapons were a knife and a spiked ball on a chain, and the sports equipment was for delivering bombs (i.e. a javelin filled with explosives that he could throw and…

Hey, the Whizzer had mongoose blood based superpowers, there's nothing goofy about him at all!

One of the shows I watch about superheroes (Superhero Round-Up on SourceFed Nerd) has been suggesting Justice League Dark for Legends Of Tomorrow Season 2 featuring Constantine, since the show runners have already said the cast and focus is going to change (potentially significantly) season to season, which could be a…

Simon actually said PB must be Betty's assistant, which is even more forgivable then calling her Marceline's assistant, because Marceline said PB scienced them in, and last he knew Betty was looking for a way to fix him, and he would probably assume she was trying to use science to fix him.

With how things worked out, next week we could have Oliver returning to his first and true love, the Salmon Ladder to work on his issues, and Barry returning to his true love, the Cosmic Treadmill for training. Just think of the possibilities.

Right, like what they did with the Punisher this season had a complete arc to it, but nothing else really did.

I'm saying setting things up for later is fine (like they did with the Hand and Madame Gao in season 1, or Nuke and the corporation who created him an Jessica in Jessica Jones season 1) but you should still have complete arcs and tie off some of your story threads in each season.

I can understand that they might be waiting to set up the mystical elements of the Hand (like them worshiping and trying to summon a demon) until Iron Fist or Doctor Strange shows up in the MCU, but there wasn't really a complete arc with them this season. If you look at last season, at least they had the arc…

Anyone else feel like this season was basically treading water and nothing was actually resolved this season?

Vandal Savage might be more interesting as a Globetrotter (although his horror villain turn was a bit more threatening than he usually is, and solid Simpsons reference).

They had to respect Kendra's abilities as a strong, independent woman, who could handle the man they brought a whole team together to kill by herself, even though she had yet to show she could handle Savage by herself. Instead of, you know, having everybody rush in and hold down Savage while she delivered the coup de…

Those were reused sets from the other times we saw Rick in the Time Masters buildings, and the ship flashback took place on the same ship set. Basically this is what a bottle episode is on an action-adventure show, unlike on a crime drama or sitcom where you could have the characters stuck in a room or house the whole…
