THIS.

It's just too bad the show keeps making his character a selfish, emotionally-stunted tool. Imagine Gustin's talent channeled into a Barry Allen that DIDN'T keep making ridiculously stupid, morally questionable decisions…

Hey, yeah— whatever happened with Mirror Master, anyway? At some point early on, Berlanti was talking up how he wanted to use M.M. on the show this season…

I would pay all of the money from all of the Earths to see that!

I honestly don't expect the changes to last past the premiere. MAYBE into the next episode, if they want to make it a two-parter. This is just an infuriating stalling tactic until they can figure out what the ACTUAL hook of season three is going to be.

4. Brandon Routh is now playing Blue Beetle instead of the Atom!

Arrow season 3 never happened.

Barry has been a dumbass a lot this season, but I have refrained from calling him "the worst" through 22 episodes of increasingly selfish, reckless, callous, immature, idiotic, ass-backwards decision making.

It would have if the time travel mechanics in this show made any sense whatsoever.

DC T.V. needs to stop it with the f%$#ing time travel already. They don't have any idea how to use it, and the more they try to figure it out, the more broken down and ruined the plot device becomes.

This episode… may be the first episode of The Flash I've legitimately hated. It does everything wrong. EVERYTHING. (Except for the Jay Garrick reveal. That was neat-o.)

So… the man in the iron mask was the real Jay Garrick…

Plastic Man would be terrifying if he really wanted to kill you.

That shot of the Enterprise at warp was beautiful. Sincerely. Heck, ALL of the action shots look really polished and visually stunning.

Oliver: "I should have taken off your head!"

It can be a better film without necessarily being more popular.

Damien Darhk could banter with a potted plant and be endlessly entertaining.

Exactly. Do something totally different and unique, or stay true to the tone and the spirit of the comics— don't half-ass it by trying to do both at the same time.

Honestly, I think it's pretty obvious that the movie would have been a hell of a lot better if it WEREN'T for rewrites and reshoots. The last act is pretty much a completely different movie than the first two… a hackier, generic "comic book" movie filled with trite dialogue and ghastly narrative shortcuts.

BTW, I am not of a mind that any protagonist who isn't a good person is automatically a bad character. There are lots of great protagonists who are sh*tty people— Travis Bickle, Patrick Bateman, etc. But what matters is what the narrative is saying ABOUT those people— how it uses an unlikable protagonist to further…
