No words to describe how much The Flash killed it tonight. Between Dibny being his usual hilariously sleazy self,
the council of Wells (German Wells fucking slayed me), fighting a goddamn dinosaur skeleton...

Good stuff, Flash.

Legends was good. Kinda let down that
Sara didn't try and woo Helen. Also, Helen of Troy is an Amazon now. Tight.

Totally agree with you. Expected her to say something like “Damn, she’s hot” when she first saw her. Also, confirmed Wonder Woman in the dctv?

I don't have a thing to say against Flash, except maybe:
Clifford? Seriously? Fucking Clifford?

Loved this. Flash seems to be at its best when it takes note of its own weirdness:
"Do you remember back in the day when we wouldn't calmly consider a stone statue our prime suspect?"

Yeah, I was surprised they didn't do something like that
especially once Helen got all admiring of Sara. Great episode, though.The Jax/Stein reversal was great fun to watch.

The whole
Firestorm Stein bit was so damn goofy looking. But that was a nice way to send him off.


Also, that sick burn Sara gave Darhk. He's gonna feel that one.

Flash was good. Ralph is easily becoming a very likable character.

The Council of Wells was hilarious. It makes me want to see more of the Earths those ones came from.

Yeah, I was expecting something like that as well. Legends was great last night.

I'm pretty sure they made a Wonder Woman reference, which makes me wonder if she's going to turn up in the Arrowverse at some point.
They managed to make Dhark interesting again, although I do suspect that if they kill him off early, it'll be his daughter who becomes one of the main villains of the season.
The Stein/Jax reversal was fun. The show won't be the same without Victor Garber.

I doubt they'd bring in Wonder Woman, Didn't they have to kill off Deadeye just because the DCEU didn't want them overlapping with Suicide Squad?

Any one else see that ending coming a mile away.

I would rather not see her again. It was pointless making so many of the male character act like that. It was a great casting of what I might picture for Helen of Troy.

Harry really is the best. Sometimes the other earths don’t give us a Wells that is worth keeping. I’ve been waiting to see this year who Tom Cavanagh would play as the next Harrison Wells. The Council of Wells was the best.
Even if they had not been The Council of Wells, just listening to how Harry explains that he made friends and why he makes them. Such a special moment, maybe just for me.
The wizard-like individual Wells the Grey was the best add in. He gave us what was need to lead into the best random line.
You’re a wizard Harry.


Just wish the main villain on Flash had a little more role. Maybe next week at last.

I know exactly what you mean. Akmost feel like that only thing that would have made it better if he was still on the show, and his character could have spoken the line.

I certainly wouldn't try to stop him. I like living.

Only step I care about is Oliver giving up this domestic crap. He's retired like 3 times already, and it never sticks.
Because no one stopped him, they left on their 2 episode plot. Not sure it was the best arc. Slade was still more entertaining than Laurel Lance as Black Siren.
I just am glad to see they remember when a character goes home there is that offspring there. They cannot just turn off a kid like a light switch. Being a parent is an everyday home thing.
How long till we get stuck with a plot of Slade’s son trying to kill Oliver’s son?

I have to admit, Dahrk is much much more interesting as a mystic loon who kills while cracking jokes. at least compared to when he's a regular loon who kills while cracking jokes.
Good to have him back. now, all we need is Meryln

Supergirl

I have to admit that I didn't hate Mon-El as much as I thought I would this time around. What I hated more was mopey Kara coming back. For a feminist show, it seems odd that the lead character seems to do nothing but whine about her boyfriend. Oh, and please don't bring in any love triangle bullcrap. Leave that shit for Twilight. Please let this be the end of the drama.
I liked the scenes with J'onn and his father. Those were well done.
Nice to see Winn finally getting more screen time.
It seems like an odd time to introduce Reign, especially with the crossover happening next week.

Supergirl could have been a lot worse. Must get round to watching last week's Arrow, but I just don't feel any enthusiasm for that show any more.

I must admit, with Legends of Tomorrow and Flash being pretty good (elongated man, oh yea) and Arrow... managing, the only really bad show is supergirl. which I don't even watch so.

Watched Arrow. The Slade stuff was good, the Star City stuff was uninteresting.

Slade's own hallucination pointed out a news report to him. This raises...questions.

What's Ollie's stance on killing atm? Because it sure looked like he knifed a guy in the throat in that episode.

it's inconsistent, I think. He's leaning on "I'm gonna kill if I'm not in Star City. I'm gonna try and hold back if I am"
