Re: The Flash (CW) -- Spinoff of Arrow -- Coming this Fall
Just watched the Pilot through "alternate methods" and enjoyed it. It's very pilot-y. A lot of character set up and future plots being built. It also moves pretty fast (ha!) but overall it was fun. Grant Gustin is very likeable as Barry Allen and the supporting cast is good. Looking forward to seeing what they can do with a season's worth of stories.
Lot of easter eggs too including the very last bit (no spoilers!).

Although tempting, I'm going to hold out until October and watch the Pilot on my HDTV. I'm in no rush to see it. Someone at WB or CW probably got their ass fired for this.

He was late getting back... to the event. It's shown right there that he showed up late to it.
We assumed he missed it in Arrow, but this clears up that he showed up to it, shit went down and he went to the lab before it was kicked off.

Robbie Amell, Stephen's cousin from The Tomorrow People, is joining the cast in a major recurring role.

That's awesome. I wonder how he managed that.

Sweet, I love Firestorm. So that gives us Flash, Arrow, Atom and Firestorm across 2 shows in a shared universe. I'll take it.

Just don't force Cyborg into either show for godsakes. I have no clue why DC keeps trying to push that terrible character.
And am I the only one who's a bit bummed that they are going for Ray instead of Ted Kord?

DC's C.C.O. (Geoff Johns) has a hard on for characters he grew up watching on TV. Cyborg was part of the "Galactic Guardians" version of the Super Friends.

Vic Stone/Cyborg has already been confirmed to be in Batman v Superman. He is being played by Ray Fisher.
As to why they replaced Martian Manhunter with Cyborg in the New 52 Justice League, it's the same reason Amanda Waller is a skinny hot chick now instead of being an obese woman. The comics are basically being used to push the movies/TV shows. A hot chick looks better on movies/TV than an obese woman. Likewise, they want a minority on the Justice League, so they put in Cyborg. They could have just used John Stewart to replace Hal Jordan, but Hal isn't as replaceable as Martian Manhunter is.

This. It's either Cyborg, Steel, Mister Terrific or Icon. I like Cyborg so I'm ok with that. Movie studies are starting to target both Hispanics and Chinese audiences so expect the new Blue Beatle and an to be named Asian character eventually.

Whatever happened to the Jamie pilot?

Either way, I still liked Ted Kord better and they have named dropped him on Arrow a shit ton.
