I disagree. He doesn't realize the full potential of his powers, he's still new at this. I thought the scene was done right even though it was inspired by Matrix Reloaded.

Nope.

I have a potentially dumb theory regarding Harrison:

I liked it a lot. Really surprised how fast this show seems to be moving, especially compared to how Arrow started somewhat slow. I also think it's pretty impressive how good this cast is. Yes Grant Gustin may not look like comic book Barry, but to me he is Barry. He just is incredibly believable in the role.

Love this ep. The end was like Wtf?!?!

Exactly. Thats the first thing that came to mind.

Love that he learning and that he is not perfect yet.

He was also having problems with running out of energy, which is logical for someone running at his speed.
-Cool that he has a weakness

Learning and growing as a Super Hero.

I doubt they would turn the hero and star of the show into a murderer.

Here is my theory on Harrison:

Here is a preview of season six.

Cosmic treadmill anyone?

I'm really loving the show so far and I'm excited for the things hinted for the future.

I almost wonder, regarding Wells

Wow. I've been reading comic books for 30 years and had never heard of Multiplex!

Could you possibly make that pic any bigger?

Seriously, if a pic is so big that it requires horizontal scrolling, then it's too big. Trim the size down.

No one ever read Firestorm. I have no idea how he supported his own solo book for so many years.

I came across it on another site and just got it from there.

I think I know where they might be going with Wells, so I won't speculate here about who he is on the show.

So download the pic, resize it in MS Paint, then upload it to a free image host site. It takes 10 seconds to do that. It's considered polite posting etiquette not to post overly large pictures.

Is there somewhere else?

I always liked Firestorm. Anyone else remember the season he was on the Superfriends? And yeah, I knew Multiplex (I believe my exact words were "Captain Clone!? More like Multiplex!"), and Simon Stagg -- whose bodyguard, in the comics, is an actual unfrozen cave man named Java.

BTW, if the rumors are true, we'll be seeing more of Multiplex -- not on this show, but in the DC Cinematic Universe.


As for the show, I enjoyed this episode much more than the pilot (which wasn't terrible). This has officially passed Gotham as favorite new comic book show of 2014. I wish this wasn't saddled with CW Teen Angst -- I would have preferred a Barry who is about 8-10 years older than the one we're seeing, who seems to be 17 or so (notwithstanding the fact that he's got a job as a police scientist). But all in all, it works for me.

Yah, the CW factor is the only thing keeping me from buying into this show completely. That said, it's a lot of fun so far and once the inevitable Reverse Flash/time travel craziness starts I'm sure I'll be fully on the bandwagon. My love of the Flash pretty much demands it.

Ah! I didn't know that! Are there any other superhero characters that stem from the characters in this show?

In the comics:

Iris

Eddie Thawne


Cisco Ramon


In the pilot, we also saw reporter Linda Park. Barry's nephew Wally West was the Flash from 1986 until about three or four years ago when Barry was dead (it's comics; don't ask) and Linda was Wally's girlfriend/wife. And we saw Detective Chyre, Joe West's partner who died in the pilot; Chyre was a cop in the comics and a pretty regular supporting cast member in the late 90s/2000s.

Awesome

How can we get WB/DC to use Grant Gustin in the movies, NOT the actor the selected that looks NOTHING like the Flash...

Wally is Iris' nephew unless they changed that little detail.

They should do an homage ep. to the SA version where he visits Earth prime and visits the DC office.
