they could go for a more modern take and introduce Jason Rush who actually becomes firestorm but with Ronnie in his head or vice versa

They've already cast Dr. Stein, and from the interview I linked above, it'll be Dr. Stein in Ronnie's head.

one thing i noticed (and might a stretch) but the justice mural in the police station clearly has a Jay Garrick figure on it fwiw

Good catch, I'll have to go back and take a look at it.

wells has to be zoom. they have pretty much beat us over the head with it.

Most likely, but someone earlier in this thread threw out Pariah as a possibility, and that is also an intriguing possibility.

im wondering if itll involve cold or heatwave since they dont seem to be metas and will have their weapons instead.

From the previews they showed for next week's episode, it looks like Captain Cold will make an appearance in it.

I meant the episode 8 crossover. Since firestorm is pretty confirmed with stein I guess something happened behind the scenes that we will eventually see. I guess that will give him motivation to go after wells

Season 1 of the Flash is much better than season 1 of the Arrow.

Season 1 of Arrow was like a guinea pig. They have a working method now. Flash should be better at this point than Arrow was.

Yep, it took the first half of season 1 for them to get their formula worked out (although I still claim that the first half of season 1 wasn't all that bad, just not up to the standards they are at now). But the second half of season 1 was pretty good (and I loved the direction they went with the conclusion of the undertaking), and then they hit the ground running with season 2.

I also think that the isolated place that Oliver was in for the early part of season 1 (which was necessary for the character to develop) also had a part to play in the audience not having as invested of an interest in the main character as they did once he started opening his life up to Diggle and Felicity. Flash started out different because the lead character has a much different personality, who was open to other characters in the first episode.

So Flash not only had the advantage of being able to use the successful formula that Arrow has perfected as a basis, and then tweaking it to fit the "lighter" atmosphere that they want with Flash, but it also had a primary character that had a personality that was more open which allowed the audience to better attach to it at a much earlier point.

Fan reaction to Arrow:
Slow to start, but once Ollie started to build his team and other heroes began to appear it got great.

Creating the Flash series:
Let's get his team in place from the start and get the ball rolling on additional heroes within the first couple of episodes.

I have a feeling that any Arrow season without Deathstroke will fall short.

We have the Demon's Head all up in this season, and Ra's plays second fiddle to no one when it comes to being the big bad of a story.

A little bit of Deathstroke goes a long way.

I'm good with Thea and R'as being the focus for a while. Plus two Flash crossovers, so the season shouldn't bog down at any point.
