Something along the lines of "I was travelling through time at the moment Eddie erased me, and thus I was protected by the magic of the Speed Force, wibbly wobbly timey wimey".

Meh. There was a real lack of stakes to that Flashpoint world, to the point it made Barry's decision to reboot everything feel just as selfish as his decision to save his mother.

Well, Arrow started struggling when Flash came out, Flash started struggling when Supergirl & LoT came out, and now Berlanti & co are working on Black Lightning, so… might get worse before it gets better.

Well, 7 years ago, they had Terabithia.

I don't get the Beyond love.

Still half-convinced they're aiming for some casting coup re: the ship's captain (that will probably have some sort of accident, Sean-Bean-style, at the end of the first season, thus field promoting Number One to the commanding chair) and/or the lead star, and thus they're reworking the production schedule to…

Not a pretty ship, but that's far from a dealbreaker.

Haven't watched a SD in months, if not years, and after that awkward, unsatisfying draft, I probably won't watch it again anytime soon.

Simon, no need to try so hard : nuTrek has already a built-in explanation for all that stuff, one that's been implicitly part of the reboot since Trek 09 and more or less confirmed by Orci on social media.

So taking Hassenger's past grades into account, it's just as good as Zootopia (B), but just slightly better than Zoolander 2 (B-). Okay.

Technically, Axanar ended up being more of a $1.1M+ project (+ merch sales).

Again, for years, there has been unofficial, lax guidelines that fan productions could get from CBS/Paramount by sending them an email (and some did just that, to get on the right side of the law). Just browse some of the bigger Trek fan-forums : they're still there, Axanar knew of those guidelines, and they did…

If it helps, nobody (not even TNA hardcore fans) wants to see another authority figure storyline in TNA. But TNA does what TNA wants.

Oh, f***.

Well, Amiral Marcus, Khan, the USS Vengeance, and so on, are Section 31.

Well, it was confiscated, along with all of Scotty's work, by Sec 31, so… not the smartest idea of nu-Trek, but not that big of problem, really. And it conveniently explains how Sec 31 always seem to appear and disappear at will, later on.

honestly, James Marsden's character comes off more heroic than Superman does in the film.

Fun episode, even though I'm still bothered by the "ten seconds of non-direct exposure to Red K = days of Kara spiraling out of control and getting worse and worse" equation, & the magic gun resolution.

I'm almost afraid Earth 2 Thawne's magic plastic surgery gizmo (cos he must have had one, too, even if he didn't use it to impersonate Earth 2 Wells) will come into play at some point, as a way to throw a curve ball to the fans doing all that guesswork.

Eh, I'm halfway convinced the writers have a Ben/Glory (or Davis/Doomsday in Smallville) situation planned for Jay/Zoom, or something along the lines of "Jay tried some experiment to regain his speed, it failed, and gave birth to Zoom as his negative doppleganger".
