Look, I think that MoS certainly has its flaws, but I have to admit that I enjoyed more than most, and not because it depicted "Superman as a punching machine first and a moralistic crusader second." I think that such a criticism makes sense if one expected MoS to be a Donner 1978 with updated effects or something…

>>Just one of the beats Berlanti seems to feel he needs to hit.<<

>> That never occurred to me <<

>>So instead we created our own from whole cloth. Superman is America's Hercules, and Batman is our Odysseus. We turned (some versions of) their stories into tales for children to demonstrate American values in their boldest and least internally conflicted sense, which is why some fans can't give their blessing to the…

I'm also wondering what exactly is going on in Earth-2 right now, with both Garrick and Wells missing.

Definitely light speed for Earth-2 speedsters. Mach levels for Barry.

I remembered this a few weeks ago when Jay said that Barry was faster than he had ever been. I suspect that some of the feats are a function of speed force access rather than speed per se, but Jay claimed to have attained near light speed and in the flashback to Earth-2 Wells-2 talked about light speed speedsters. I…

This show has been inconsistent, IMO, about certain continuity issues.

Yeah I get that back then it probably didn't mean anything, but why didn't anyone other than Stein (and Wells/Thawne, and Wells 2, who's known him for how long) put together that more was going on when Cisco was making these accurate predictions on the spot and giving highly questionable explanations? Barry and…

Why is everyone so surprised about Cisco? Weren't they around last season when he claimed to remember alternate timeline Thawne/Wells killing him, and they used that knowledge in their attempt to trap Thawne/Wells? I mean, that alone might not have been enough to set off alarms, but they seem to be acting as if that…

The problem here is that I think they've mentioned that Barry has only been able to accomplish maybe Mach-2 or something relatively low. It would be one thing to say that he just hasn't yet reached his potential and that's why these characters are threats. But then we get Jay (who stated in Flash of Two Worlds, IIRC,…

The way Supergirl is being written, it appears as if at present in her world, only she and Superman himself are out heroing.

Fair enough, although I do recall a lot of people complaining that "Superman never saved anyone" (except at the beginning on the rig, and Lois, and the bus as a child, and the whole world), by which they seemed to mean that he either (a) didn't have a montage like this week's episode of Supergirl with him saving…

He had the slight advantage of better experience with his powers, but your observation does the destruction etc. in Man of Steel. Man of Steel Superman wasn't written as a trained warrior (Zod even mocks him about it) and he left a lot of collateral damage and didn't always behave in the most tactical way because of…

Anything's possible on this show, but affiliation with Zoom or actually being Zoom seems inconsistent with the exchange that she had with Sanddemon while he held her hostage.

Seems a little convoluted, given their exchange when he's holding her captive. Her remarks there, in private (to their knowledge) were consistent with the stated character motivations that she offered to Joe later.

The way that the show is structured, they're certainly implying that any knowledge that people not directly involved in production have is limited, at least with regard to the fact that the show is a review show. (His ex-wife didn't put together that his erratic behavior was due to the show until the finale, his nurse…

I think that it was the first Pied Piper episode, he was testing out the Tachyon device, and said something to Gideon.

Maybe, but that doesn't quite make sense of the explanation from last week. (His quoting of the Reverse Flash, he explains beating himself up as a function of his speed and appear in two places, not as because there were two Reverse Flashes, etc.) The MO of the deaths also matches. And after this weeks kill, it…
