MisterOJ Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So, the other thread is over the limit, and I had a question I figured I'd start a new thread. Now, I'm a week behind, but I just watched last week's episode last night. I liked it pretty good, but the main thing I was wondering is if anyone else caught the cool little Easter egg when Barry was with Jay Garrick in the 1990s diner. They showed a quick shot of a television and I am 98% sure that the show on the screen was the original Flash TV show with John Wesley Shipp. Did anyone else notice that?

GallowKnight Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Wasn't it Dawson's Creek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterOJ Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe it was. Jay Garrick just mentioned that it was 1990 and the original Flash series was on television from 1990-91, so I assumed that was it. JWS was on both shows though and it was basically just a close up of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowKnight Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm pretty sure it was a close-up of James Van Der Beek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It was Dawson's Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I still don't really get why Barry ever stops long enough to let bad guys hit him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Oops. I posted in the old thread...? That was one seriously weird ep. So, who is Savatar that he would affect Killer Frost so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, who is Savatar that he would affect Killer Frost so...? It's going to be: Spoiler Barry himself. Or more likely an alternate Earth Barry, who in his drive to actually save Iris, becomes the thing that creates the problem to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowKnight Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I cant believe that this show has been on for three fucking season and the still haven't had a proper full-on Rogues episode yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I was pretty bored by the whole ep. Not even sure what it all means. So, he has to trap his future self in the speedforce? I don't even understand, or care, what that means. And it doesn't explain why Frosty got all exuberant when she first saw him and joined forces in the first place. I'm real close to giving up on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Poor Barry's brain will melt if the only way he can run faster than Savitar is to run faster than himself which will then mean he'll have to run faster, etc, etc. They will essentially condense 10 seasons of plot into the next couple of episodes. Not missing this show but still have fun reading the zany plot twists. The preview is hilarious too as Cisco comes up with a logical reason for introducing "Arrow style" secret keeping. Let's hope that doesn't lead to Savitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Well, as you'd expect, I disagree with you all. I think they've upped their game. Maybe not as much as Arrow has this season, but they've dispensed with some of the junk that weighted down last season. I was onboard very early with the Savitar reveal, so it didn't surprise me much, other than the timing. Yes the show is a bit melodramatic at times, and they need to fill the cast down a smidge, but it's still a fun show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Well, Killer Frost's ice slide was, um, cool. Eta: Despite lifting it from Ice-Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm a sucker for the evil future self stories - although i prefer it when said fate is inescapable or it at least turns out the evilness isn't as evil as it initially appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Agreed. I thought the same thing re: the theft from Iceman. But, it was a nice effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 So I was pretty close. And no extra angst. They revealed, it makes relative sense, they've moved forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Though I didn't really try too hard to understand Savitar's origin, I thought "Cause and Effect" was one of the best episodes of this season; the ep was a laugh and like the musical, a reminder of the light-hearted Barry during the early days. Naturally, it couldn't last. It was also one if those times the Barry and Iris dynamic really worked and almost made me forget that Grant Gustin has better chemistry with Melissa Benoist.

BigFatCoward Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 so the ice slide can just float or something? this program is too stupid for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I still don't understand what I'm watching here. Really convoluted, as time travel stories have the tendancy to be. I'd be much more freaked out if I couldn't remember basically my whole life. Tho' I did kinda like "happy" Barry. Cisco seems to really be stepping up, which I also liked. H.R. and the scientist was a little squicky, but cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, but in the case of the ice slide, the show can't take full credit for it, as has been pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
