re: The Flash Season One Thread

Just watched this week's episode and digging it so far. Any idea if they're going to go the same direction as Arrow and begin setting up a season long villain soon?

Or are they already doing that with the Professor?

Caitlin is Killer Frost.

How they play Caitlin's evolution to Killer Frost will be interesting. I can see it being either a progressive and intriguing evolution, or some crazy/abrupt evolution that feels forced.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since their evolution of Thea has been really good up to this point in my opinion (taking her from a spoiled/rich kid who got away with doing whatever she wanted, to becoming a responsible person running a business, to becoming jaded because everyone in her life was lying to her, to now being trained by her real father to become a killer (presumably)).

Hopefully they let Caitlin's evolution play out slowly over a couple of seasons at least.

ETA: And like FK said, I think they could stretch out Wells' story line for multiple seasons as well. There shouldn't be any rush to out him this season.

It will be interesting to see how they do cross over episodes with Arrow. Flash takes a supernatural approach while Arrow aims at a little more real world circumstances. It will be interesting to see how they merge the two approaches.

Y'all better hope that the walking dead posters don't make it over to this thread with all of the spoilers people are droppin.

The decision was made back during the 1st season of Arrow that we'd allow comic book talk in these threads (and then we re-establish it in the proceeding seasons threads). The non-comics readers actually liked the fact that we discussed how the characters were portrayed in the comics because it gave them better background to the characters, and they were then better able to catch all of the easter eggs that were dropped in each episode. Plus the show runners don't necessarily follow pre-existing story lines from the comics.

And btw...I've already told the non-spoilers walking dead posters in their thread to stay out of the Arrow and Flash threads.

I like these shows and threads. Y'all have me researching a lot of characters lately.

Im a big fan of people talking about the comics in this thread and the AOS thread. I never read them, so I miss a lot.

However, to save some belly aching if one of those posters would to come into this thread, maybe put "Comic Discussion Permitted" or something like that in the title.

Ummm....no. We've never had to do it in the previous two Arrow season threads, so we shouldn't set a precedent now by doing it with the Flash thread. If someone wants a non-comic discussion thread they can make their own, but that would be a fairly short thread considering the comic discussions are what makes these threads so enjoyable.
