Why are villains always so entertaining? Zoom was bloody awesome in this episode. Is it just me, or the next episode will be "Phantom of the Opera" inspired? :v:

And the way Ep18 ended is pretty dumb - "I AM FASTER THAN EVER! I CAN TAKE HIM DOWN! wait no nevermind here's my speed"[/sp]

It's almost as if the episode before didn't need to exist because it would be rendered useless. [sp]That, and because Tom Cavanagh is pretty dope. He's a bit too gritty and broody voice as E2 Wells, but he still hits the marks for me. It was a big game of cat and mouse and we saw the whole of it. On the opposite, Zoom was the same as a double agent. I quite liked his evil side, he's straightly a villain because he's a demented evil asshole with a touch for theatrics and schemes, but the "HURR DARKNESS" bit was goofy. Although I thought there were 2 Jay Garricks before he explained that he basicaly went back in time to show up even against himself.[/sp] [editline]22nd April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;50180190]Legends of Tomorrow tonight was actually pretty good, although I am still kinda bugged by the fact that they build up these bad guy characters only for them to be taken down easily in the next episode. I guess that they're just trying to hurry things up so that they can get to the season finale. I'm kinda curious if stopping Vandal Savage is going to be purely for this season or if it's going to continue on afterwards. If they do stop Savage in the season finale, then I'm wondering what other time-jumping baddies they can they go up against? EDIT: Oh yeah, one more thing. On the Flash they introduced the idea of "Time Wraiths" that chase after folks who have messed around with time too much. I'm kinda curious as to where they come from, and if the Time Masters have encountered them. If so, is there a reason why the Time Wraiths haven't gone after the team?[/QUOTE] All these shows honestly feel rushed. Smallville had huge arcs to each season, for each main villain and almost each character. We actually see things happening between the characters, and not just "oh yeah its THAT simple" Ex: Shado and Slade (no I will never let this go, it didn't make much sense), Oliver and Felicity (because you can't be with Laurel, who actually knew, at the very least, how to use a gun and actually loved you even before you went on the damn ship, but you can be with what is basically the voice in your head who fucks up here and there, does "funny" comments, and complains about shit while she hacks whatever, yeah that totally warrants love right there, fuck you gagenheim) Like, that shit just comes out of nowhere, and bad guys sometimes go kaputz too easily. Even weirder, some bad guys that are pretty weak sometimes get the upper hand instead.
Hey guys is Supergirl worth watching?
meh.
[QUOTE=BelatedGamer;50183594]Hey guys is Supergirl worth watching?[/QUOTE] Feels like one of those shows that'll be worth watching in season 2 or in season 3. Probably better to wait until around then.
I noticed they weren't shy about copying the Kylo Ren laser freeze effect on Legends of tomorrow.
There's a digital side-series for the Flash now called "Chronicles of Cisco". Looks like it's short clips of Cisco doing his tinkering behind the scenes. [URL]http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/chroniclesofcisco[/URL] Cisco has lost a little bit of my respect for that [sp]Big Bang theory shirt[/sp]though.
[QUOTE=BelatedGamer;50183594]Hey guys is Supergirl worth watching?[/QUOTE] I almost fell asleep with the last episode. It's ok, at its very best.

Oh no, now you all know my terrible dark secret. [editline]23rd April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=RoboChimp;50185153]I noticed they weren't shy about copying the Kylo Ren laser freeze effect on Legends of tomorrow.[/QUOTE] At least [sp]Lil' Rip shanked her good[/sp] That part was amazing :v:
[sp]Alright Man in the mask theory time. Its both Jay and Hunters father because they are one in the same. Hunter Zoloman is a witness protection name after Jay decided to take the blame for Hunter killing his mother while Jay was at war. It also plays parallel to a point Barry brought up before which was that Barry kept Allan as his last name even after his father was arrested.[/sp]
I think we can safely say that the man in the mask is gonna be revealed close to, if not during, the season finale for The Flash. [QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;50188152]They did it because Sheldon constantly wears a Flash shirt, and even dresses as Flash for Haloween. Oh no, now you all know my terrible dark secret.[/QUOTE] That raises some questions though. On that show Sheldon's a fan of the Flash comics, but in a world where BBT and the Flash actually exist at the same time is he just a fan of the Flash? My head hurts. Preview for next Flash: [video=youtube;fXmfFC7u0CU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXmfFC7u0CU[/video] That new guy is the Earth2 version of Cisco's brother and is a supervillain called Rapture. Looks like they recreated his look pretty well. [IMG]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a8/Rupture_007.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131113181004[/IMG] Also it's cool that Hawkgirl on LoT is finally gonna get [sp]her mace[/sp]
[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;50211130]Preview for next Flash: [video=youtube;fXmfFC7u0CU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXmfFC7u0CU[/video]][/QUOTE] literally this: [IMG]http://cdn1.sciencefiction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Flashpoint-2-Cover.jpg[/IMG] from Flashpoint where Barry didn't have his speed and had to basically do same shit, get struck by lightning with chemicals around him. [editline]27th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;50211130]I think we can safely say that the man in the mask is gonna be revealed close to, if not during, the season finale for The Flash.[/QUOTE] It was already confirmed by the actor of Jay that it is revealed in finale.
[sp]Zoom phasing through Snow and killing Frost[/sp] Looked great. Just gave him even more sick status points.
The bad part is they've really really written themselves into a corner, because I don't think they're gonna come up with someone else as good as this later on.
Like a masochist I watched the latest ep. of Arrow. Considering last ep's enormous upset, it was actually a pretty decent episode with some genuine emotional moments from everyone. [sp]Laurel[/sp] was the focus of the episode, which helped keep the unnecessary Felicity drama to a minimum. Also damn, the dude who plays Quentin Lance is an awesome actor. Also next ep. of Arrow we might finally learn what this 'Genesis' plan is that Dahrk's been going on about.
[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;50217720]Also damn, the dude who plays Quentin Lance is an awesome actor.[/QUOTE] Speaking of, whose bright idea was it to have a British actor play a character who has to say the name 'Laurel' a whole bunch?

Because she has to come back... .....right?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;50217784]Speaking of, whose bright idea was it to have a British actor play a character who has to say the name 'Laurel' a whole bunch?[/QUOTE] I absolutely adore how Paul Blackthorne barks out Laurel's name.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;50217784]Speaking of, whose bright idea was it to have a British actor play a character who has to say the name 'Laurel, baby' a whole bunch?[/QUOTE] ftfy still, he's pretty cool. He was a big baddie in 24 wasn't he? He was pretty dope there.

That Legends of Tomorrow was much better than I expected.

More important question: did Legends get better?
They're always doing the same mistakes over and over. The whole team is brain-dead and it's kinda annoying the writers can't find a way to move forward the plot without doing that.
