In case you all didn't see this in the other thread.
This is an extended promo, not an actual scene from the crossover. Remember the 1.0 version from 2 years ago: |

Can't fucking wait.

That Fight Club 2.0 was pretty wicked!!!

Re: The Flash (S3E01) -- Season Premiere -- "Flashpoint" -- 10/4/16
FUCKING AMAZING!
I had no idea they were going to zoom (ha!) through Flashpoint so quick (double ha!). Granted the ending seems to indicate otherwise. Now a long wait for next week. A few other things: - The Rival's suit looks cheesy. - the actor playing The Rival looks like Christian Bale in the mask. - I missed Wells. |

Wow, the TV forum is really dead tonight when the season premiere of The Flash only gets 2 episode comments and it's already past 10pm PT/1am ET.
Anyways, great start season 3. Really fun episode and it was interesting to see how Barry realized creating this alternate timeline was mistake because of the lost memories. However, after he and Reverse Flash tried to fix things, they created yet another timeline. I initially thought they were wrapping it up after 1 episode, but it doesn't appear to be the case after that ending. I loved Rich Cisco in that 2nd timeline. I'm curious to see how this impacts Arrow and Legends as well as Supergirl. Not familiar with the Flashpoint arc via the comics, but this makes me want to watch the animated version, which I know is on Netflix. I agree with ^^^ The Rival's suit looked horrible. Almost SyFy B movie quality bad. Lots a time travel themed episodes/shows this Fall. |

I'm not sure if I want more world/time line jumping from this show or for them to ground it back in at least one world for a while. I give the writers credit for forcing the flash to make tough decisions when it comes to the time lines or other worlds.
being shows like Heroes would just play fast and loose with it and that really seemed to piss off the viewers. |

As an older fan I appreciated the appearance of Alex Desert as Captain Julio Mendez, since Alex played sidekick "Julio Mendez" in the original "Flash" series.

Good start, as usual, Flash does not waste any time. |

I was expecting Barry was going to walk in the house and find that Iris is now married to Eddie.

I really enjoyed the episode but I expected more of an emotional reaction to Barry basically sentencing both of his parents to death. |
Re: The Flash (S3E01) -- Season Premiere -- "Flashpoint" -- 10/4/16
Thought this was a really great episode. Kid Flash was cool and loved rich Cisco and Caitlin the Optometrist. I missed seeing Wells though. But yeah another great Flash episode.

My guess is that he made a stop or two on the way back through the timeline to fuck up things for Barry.

I do like how they've seemed to bring Iris back in as a solid character.

Question: How is it a spoiler to mention anything in a "next time on The Flash preview" but it's A-OK to post videos like the Fight Club one above?
Great premiere but I'm glad they put it to bed quickly. The time travel stuff should be kept to a minimum. Still can't stand the actress for Iris. She has her moments, but it doesn't take long for it to be obvious once again that the chemistry with her and Grant just isn't there. It kills every scene where there should be a big emotional impact. |

Re: The Flash (S3E01) -- Season Premiere -- "Flashpoint" -- 10/4/16
I guess I'm not sure what we're arguing here? The Fight Club videos are as much a spoiler as when an actor shows up in character on SNL or Sesame Street.

If I'm the only one that cares, so be it. Just was curious as to how people justify one, but not the other. |
Re: The Flash (S3E01) -- Season Premiere -- "Flashpoint" -- 10/4/16
I'm still confused, there are no spoilers about the the show in the Fight Club videos.
It's one thing to say "I guess Batman is in the next episode" based on a "On the next The Flash," it's another thing to post a promo video that doesn't show anything that will ever happen in the show. |
Re: The Flash (S3E01) -- Season Premiere -- "Flashpoint" -- 10/4/16
I don't see what the big stink is. The Fight Club promo is basically a giant and fun teaser of the D.C. Shows this season with all the characters together. No spoilers and as I said it's not actual scenes from any of those shows. It's just an extended "fun" promo shot specifically as that.
I didn't post any previews of any future episodes of The Flash or mention any future spoilers. You always have the option of not viewing it. I thought I was pretty clear identifying what it was. |
