Says who? Smallville was a CW show which should imply a Superman flying around out there.
Smallville was never part of this universe. Going by that logic, Sam and Dean Winchester are out there somewhere killing ghosts. In the show they've never given any indication that other super heroes currently exist; therefore, they aren't part of the universe. You're taking your comic book knowledge and inserting it into the show. At the moment they are shows about the Arrow and the Flash, and not the Justice League or other super heroes.

So the head of CBS doesn't like the idea of Supergirl interacting with Arrow and Flash since "they are on another network". Someone should remind this bitch that the CW is part of the CBS media conglomerate and that cross promotion with two wildly successful shows that have strong youth demo might help a network whose primary audience is literally dying off.

But why? In the Flash/Arrow (i.e., TV show) universe Superman,Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. simply don't exist (yet).
I may have dreamed it but I'm fairly sure I remember Batman being referenced to by Joe West in the Arrow crossover episode. Something along the lines of, "Central City doesn't need a vigilante (Arrow) here like that guy in Gotham".

Are you thinking aboutthis line? I thought I heard Batman too, so I replayed it with CC on and saw that it said "that man."

The Rogues are assembling. The Flash has always had the best villains second only to Batman and they are doing a bang-up job casting them. Pied Piper is next week and it will be interesting to see if they ultimately make him more of a Rogue or take on aspects of his characterization in the Wally years as a quasi-neutral ally. We have the new Weather Wizard coming up in a few weeks as well as the Trickster (with old Trickster played by Mark Hamill as per the 90s Flash)

That really only leaves Mirror Master to go among the traditional Rogues.


When Kaitlyn got captured I was sure that at some point Cold would hit her with the freeze gun. She would shrug it off as saying it was a near miss but at the end of the episode she would flashback to the attack and know that the beam hit her and did...nothing.

fucking outstanding episode. the showdown between Flash, Heatwave and Captain Cold was the best this season.
CW has done a great job with a low budget, the fight was pretty good (although there were several times Flash ran by them without hitting them when he could have WTH). I was worried how some of these fights would play out. I mean how do you properly show a fight with a man who can run around faster than a speeding bullet, against guys who shoot ice and flame from guns? They've done a good job with this dilemma. Good luck on portraying a fight with Mirror Master realistically though.

I was a bit worried about how the effects of this show would look when it was first announced but overall they are doing a perfectly fine job especially considering the budgets TV shows have to work with. The banter is really picking up I loved when wells said now we have to help catch the cold and then stops and looks at that tech kid and goes yes yes I heard the words leave my mouth I know.

I know it's a comic book and they get a lot of leeway but having a timer on that bomb so that he has the time to run and save the chick or all the police man just watching them fight instead of fucking shooting at them irked me more than it should.

Arrow >>> Flash.

The cops sitting there was terrible, pretty much ruined the episode for me. I'm more excited for shade or mirror master. I think they should have made captain cold more of a stratigest then 2 idiots walking down the street shooting

Also piper looks like a much Better villian than cold or heat wave

(although there were several times Flash ran by them without hitting them when he could have WTH).
Yeah, I took issue with that too. Well, a bunch of things really, but it is still a great show and a lot of fun, so who cares?

I enjoyed the extended Prison Break reunion quite a bit. Should have had one of them make an inside joke about prisons before they got rescued though.

So Pied Piper is going to be in 2 episodes? Watched the extended trailer and Sisco getting lipping about assigning nicknames and Piper talking about getting picked up by a guy in all leather is his fantasy is great. Also Did they explain why Captain Cold didnt just keep freezing the ground so flash couldnt keep traction? Really excited for the next episode since Piper seems much more capable of fucking up Flash than a guy with a cold gun

He said he thought golden glider could be in episode 12, but pied piper is in the cast for episode 11 and 12. Also episode 16 is Rogues and 18 is called all star team up

And holy crap if this is true, rumor is ep 13 was/is Grodds episode!!! Thought they said he would make an appearance but nothing big

Dr Harrison Wells' past catches up to him, when a gorilla used for genetic experiments finds its way back to Star Labs. Now with the ability to read and control people's minds, the gorilla known as Grodd rampages through Central City. When even The Flash fails to stop him, Dr Wells must call for help from an old friend, turned enemy, General Wade Eiling.

Aye the cop thing irked me as well. I give them a pass on him not just obliterating the guys before they even know he is there because he can't just instant win everything or there would be no show but to have the cops just stand there and watch the fight. Even when Eddie goes in to save him he could have just shot them both. they were obviously distracted if he could just walk up in front of them with the shield.
