I'm neutral on the Flash season premiere, but I have high hopes for the rest of the season.

I'm on the fence on Flash this season.
Could be decent. Could also be one long over the top cheesy family über alles season.

Man, it's going to be convoluted to watch the crossovers this year.

Supergirl is on one channel. Arrow and Legends are on another, and Flash is on Netflix airing two days after the American release.

Flash is off to a decent enough start, but hopefully it doesn't go too much into "family drama" territory.

Arrow is back tonight...well, there's no way it can be as shitty as last season...I hope.

Also some animated Constantine movie after that.

Wow, so we're doing "Fake Arrow" again. Even The Flash mixed up their villains last season. It wouldn't kill Arrow to do the same. I'm guessing through some plot convince, they'll convince everyone Fake Arrow was the actual Green Arrow all along.

And good job, Dinah. You've somehow become even more agitating than last season.


EDIT: The eff, CW. You only show the first hour of the movie in addition to censoring it to Hell and back? Dick move.

For fucks sake, Flash.
Can we go one season without another new Wells? I love Tom Cavanagh as much as the next guy who watched Scrubs, but give it a rest. Cripes.


That annoying preview aside, like the new bad guy. He's proper menacing.
And he's a power blocker. Always like a power blocker.

This Dinah is not our good Dinah, you know that, right? Her agitation could be the part in playing as the same Dinah in an attempt to trick the populace that she is the real Dinah seeing that no one knows she is the Dinah of the universe except for Team Arrow.

Ahahahaha...Legends reveals the truth I've been saying about unicorns for years now.
Unicorns would be dicks.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Once again Legends proves why it's the best show in the Arrowverse. It knows how to have fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Only Legends can have an episode about a killer unicorn at Woodstock and still make it work.

I loved all the forth wall breaking at the start of the episode.

I'm glad they're continuing with Sara/Ava. Constantine better not get in the way.

This is The CW. You don't need to worry about that...you need to worry about them dropping the proverbial bridge on Ava. Just ask those people who watch The 100. CW loves killing off happy lesbians.

That cold open on Supergirl was the most Superman thing thats happened in modern media, right down to her standing with the flag.

Meh week for everything except Legends. Although one high point in Arrow was when

Dinah and Laurel screamed at the same time. The characters may be terrible but that moment was iconic.

Legends consistently proves why it's the best show in the Arrowverse. It always strikes the right balance between being funny and not taking itself seriously to getting dark and taking itself seriously when it needs to.

Can you think of any other show that could pull off the Fairy Godmother being the villain?

Excellent couple of episodes of Legends.
Not sure about the decision to bring back Richardson-Sellers. She felt like the weak link of the last few seasons and I liked the team dynamic as it was for the first two episodes. Maybe she'll be better now she's playing a different character, but...meh.

While I think the new character will take some getting used to, she does show some promise. I am a little worried about how similar her and Constantine seem to be, not to mention what she'll contribute to the team without some fighting background or her shapeshifting.

On a side note, Zari's new totem bracelet seems like a much better choice. I never understood why they always just wore them around their necks when they were simply taken away so many times. A bracelet is much more practical, hidden, and [hopefully] addresses the problem
