The FlashFollow

I'm only slightly more informed than you, which is to say I know a few names and characters and have the most basic of grasps on the character and source material. From my understanding the name Harrison Wells doesn't exist in the comics, which implies either new character (Spoilerunlikely for a season one main character) or an alias (Spoilera more likely scenario). The going theory that I believe is that he's a Spoilertime traveler. The name itself could be a hint. Harrison Wells. H. Wells. H. G. Wells. There's a lot of hinting on who it might actually be, with slight confirmation during the end, but I don't feel right posting the theories.

As for the show itself, I like it but I absolutely can't stand the Oblivious Love Interest angle with Iris.

I feel like I missed something. I don't remember The Atom, I could have sworn the Spoilerboyfriend of SmartGirl who was nuked during the accident was going to be Firestorm. Or was it someone else that I just managed to miss? Either way, the promos are showing a lot of Captain Cold, who I always found amusing. Dude with a parka and a gun versus a guy that can vibrate his cells to walk through walls always seems like a mismatch.

First introduction of The Atom's suit, or at least part of it, was almost exactly the Iron Man suit initial testing scene. Just with less success and less comedy.

Arrow's not my favorite. And it seems to have a never ending supply of characters. I really just watched it because I didn't want to potentially miss something between the two shows.

They had Slade/Deathstroke, Brother Blood, H.I.V.E. (Which I don't recall going anywhere, other than the black guy saw it once while investigating Brother Blood), Cupid, Canary, Black Canary, The Atom, and Brick. I'm sure there are plenty of others I am forgetting. And it's only the third season, right?

But everything's been very non super powerish. No mutations or super powers to speak of. They threw the Flash into his own series to keep him out of the Arrow for the most part. Brick's strong, but doesn't appear to be invulnerable. Apparently just good at avoiding bullets (but arrows appear to work). The Atom is probably going to end up just being Iron Man.

Oh, and even in Season 3, half the series is still Flashbacks to the time he was missing. Mostly just to introduce which ever ability or character Oliver is going to use next.

I'm on an Arrow binge after seeing Felicity in one of the Flash crossover episodes. That character is just the best thing ever. Makes me giggle like a schoolgirl whenever she gets a case of verbal diarrhea. Her awkwardness is endearing to the nth degree.

The Iris + Barry thing is getting on my nerves, mainly because I can't stand the Iris character. Also, isn't Iris's boyfriend (the cop guy) named Thawne? Eddie Thawne? As in Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom aka Reverse-Flash? Such confusion.

I'm sorry, but I have to hijack the thread for a second to mention some Arrow business:

GOOD GOD, MAN, WHAT DID KATIE CASSIDY DO TO HER FACE?!!!

Right = before, left = now

I can't even... why?!

Maybe ... maybe she's in the process of gender transitioning to male?

At least she looks kind of okay in your second set of pictures. In the first ones she looks like a he trying to look like a she.

Edit: Peek-a-boo is a dumb name. I named her Sexy Nightcrawler. Also that bullet catch was pretty damn cool. Also, right in the feels moment was tear worthy.

He's a super smart monkey, who can sing.

I am behind this eleventy-million percent. x23

And really, this show is the perfect place to do that, since it isn't taking itself so serious so far.

Arrow currently has Brick as the main baddy. Gotham is half way through a two parter involving Scarecrow.

I thought he broke the sound barrier already on the test tracks some time ago. Like the first time he was out there. Not when he was playing with the missiles just this last time. Either that or they were just talking about it.
