Anyone else losing interest in The Flash? The fact that Barry still gets his ass kicked each episode when a speedster shouldn't go down this easily... and then the two-part Gorilla City episodes being underwhelming...

I dunno. This might be my last season. I can't put up with much more underpowered-speedster nonsense. It's poor writing.

you have to remember this is a more emo whiny barry than the jokster having fun happy go lucky one from the Cartoons/comics/animated movies. Gotta make those teens happy.


I am gonna continue to watch because it isn't Arrow bad yet. Also Violett Beane that is all.

What are talking about? Barry Allen was never been considered a jokester. That's Wally's shtick.

The Flash - "Duet"

DARREN CRISS (“GLEE”) GUEST STARS AS THE MUSIC MEISTER IN THE FLASH AND SUPERGIRL MUSICAL CROSSOVER – Barry (Grant Gustin) and team are surprised when Mon-El (guest star Chris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (guest star David Harewood) arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist) who was whammied by the Music Meister (guest star Darren Criss). Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end. Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing.

Ugh. This sounds terrible to me.

The heck? This reminds me of that Scrubs musical episode for reasons I find myself unable to explain. Might have to skip this one after seeing it once like I do with the Xena musical ep The Bitter Suite. Guess everyone else is going to have to sing Flash and Supergirl awake? Maybe the two heroes will have a musical dream too. Who knows? I'm not looking forward to this one, but I'll try it once. I do enjoy musicals, but don't get musical all over my super heroes. Batman singing in JLU and Beyond is a monumental exception, however.

I just finished watching Tuesday's episode, and I think that it was alright. Pacing was slow, but got better with Solovar and Grodd's fight. I liked the ending, and I am looking forward to the next episode. I wonder if Wally will survive

FINALLY! Been waiting forever to have him show up. Based off the description they're keeping him close to his comic counterpart.

The Flash is really REALLY underusing the potential big bads who don't have superspeed.

One episode of Abra Kadabra... no major Rogues team-up after three seasons... Alchemy... Gorilla Grodd...

SIGH.

Finally had time to watch "Wrath of Savitar."

Savitar is BADASS when he's speaking through Julian; I find him much more intimidating as a voice instead of as a giant Speedforce Transformer.

But good golly willikers, that was a shite-ton of manufactured drama this episode. CW needs therapy.

Flash has been hit or miss with me lately, but I didn't mind this latest one. I've accepted that it's always going to be a guess who the main bad really is type of scenario, but it does make for some fun theories. Nothing will top the first season though.

Yeah, pretty much. But it's a huge waste of good source material.

Oh well. Julian channeling Savitar was badass.

Looking forward to next week's episode. I've been spending a lot of time with the director from it and he's been telling me all these stories from set and showing me clips on his phone from his director's cut. I won't spoil anything but it'll be interesting to see what makes the final cut because some shot's he's showed me are a little little too out there for this show and he knows it

He also told me this episode was re-written and re-designed to be a bottle episode since they blew their budget on the two ape episodes and still have the musical crossover coming up right after it.

I'm still a few episodes behind so looks like I'll spend this weekend catching up.

I have my fingers crossed that it at least turns out as good as "Mayhem of the Music Meister". Visually speaking it looks pretty good from the promos.

I think it looks terrible. I'm not going to bother to watch... I'll find any necessary Savitar clips on YouTube the next day.

THIS, episode, however... good stuff!

(Sucks to be Jay)

I got to watch "into the speed force". Flash hasn't been that great lately. Hopefully it reverts back to the way it used to be.

Yeah, poor Jay. I also enjoyed seeing Black Flash again. Into the Speed Force was a pretty fast paced episode. I'm watching the musical because my other half seems to think it'll probably be okay and because she said please. Also, it's The Flash, I love the cast, and I honestly love a good musical. I'm doing the optimist thing and trying to prepare myself to be impressed, but we'll see.

Season 4 won't have a speedster for the big bad: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc...ig-bad-a149732

Fingers crossed we get Cobalt Blue.
