Remember when geeks used to write things I could read in <20 seconds instead of posting 5 minute long winding videos of themselves talking?

Today is the day for the premiere. Not that many people haven't seen it already thanks to the heavily leaked pilot episode being everywhere for months.

(Some mod should retitle this thread, could create a new one but there's already been so much talk here it seems a waste to drop it)

Pretty enjoyable.
Don't have much to add that others didn't already comment on, during the leak, about crisis, etc.

Barry's dad was great.

FX were kindof cheap. Worked much better in the trialers as just quick shots.

That was a fun pilot. Iris is crazy hot. I'm guessing pretty cop is anti-flash or whoever it is that killed Barry's mom.

I liked the pilot. I really REALLY liked The Flash from the Justice League series from the 00's, so I was looking forward to this.

And, was that Gorilla Grodd's cage?

I waited. It was awesome. I love that they immediately connected it with Arrow, too. I giggled like a school girl when I saw the Starling City sign.

Wife and I watched it last night as well. Enjoyed it and she gave it the thumbs up for recording!

The chick is too much like Simmons from SHIELD, it's very distracting ;p
Well there's the matter of her being...
Killer Frost. So she might start out rather Simmons-ish but expect her to take a decidedly different path once her fiance (Robbie Amell AKA Ronnie Raymond AKA Firestorm) comes out of his coma

The Flash has always been one of my favorite DC characters. The pilot was pretty good, although they've taken liberties with origins. Meh.

I can live with the changes to the origin. That has to happen with any reboot , and especially changing medium into TV. Wife and I both thought this was solid, but we also watched this back when it leaked. Nice of them to go ahead and start the "metahuman" references.... Although saying the particle accelerator causing all the metahumans is horribly close to how kyrptonite mysteriously caused all those "freak of the week" superpowered individuals on Smallville.

P.S. - Yes the cage said Grodd on it.

Really enjoyed it, the guy playing him is pretty great for the roll of a young Barry Allen I think. It's got the typical cheese and "oh come ON" moments you get with any CW show, but nothing too egregious.

HOWEVAH! The mutual "Cools" with him and Arrow was so gay I had to go punch a bear and kick down a sequoia just to un-queer myself for having seen it.

That was a very short role for Armand Assante.

yeah. I am really not a fan of the "insert other superhero here" gave me my name and the idea. They did that shit on Smallville too. Which was REALLY lame as they did the same shit. Green fucking arrow, invented the Justice league, and even was the inspiration for Superman, who was an emo bitch for 10 seasons before being quilted into it bey Arrow.
What the hell?

When recounting the "my mom was killed by a superhuman" story, Barry did not mention he had been searching for superhumans, on his own show. (and found some on Starling City). Felt weird for that part to be cut out.
And then yeah, Arrows only comment is "cool". And that silly speech about being chosen. As opposed to "holy shit dude".
