    Strange they aren't listing the lesser amell as firestorm? Did they spoil something there?

    nope, that's been solicited for awhile and confirmed by Garber. I'm guessing he's going to be the 'quirky wise old man' of the team

    "According to new details offered by Victor Garber (The Flash‘s ‘Professor Martin Stein’), the series will begin production this August for a 2016 premiere. We say series, not pilot because according to the actor, The CW has already seen enough to give a full series the green light."

    So behind the scenes the Arrow/Flash folks are really trying to get a Green Lantern show made right? That's the only reason they keep taunting us with Coast city and Ferris Air right? I mean both shows keep doing it!

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    The actor playing Diggle has been vocal about wanting to play John Stewart Green Lantern, but it's being reported like that's more of a personal wish. But yeah, they can't be teasing Coast City and Ferris for no reason

    I will laugh if eventually all of the CW is just DC shows under the same umbrella. Well laugh and then cry when I have to admit I only watch the CW.

    I get the feeling if he got to do it they'd just straight up make John Diggle a Green Lantern.

    And it would be right and just.

    Yeah, I really wouldn't mind Diggle as Green Lantern. I think they should distance themselves from Hal Jordan because of the movie trainwreck. But then again, this is Geoff Johns we're talking about...

    If Diggle leaves to go be Green Lantern, isn't one of Oliver's giant moral centers going to disappear and thus make him a bit scarier?

    Alternatively, this is how we get the Green Arrow somehow.

    Eh Oliver has proven time and time again that the only Moral center he listens to is his own. Sure he gives lip service to his team, but when he sets his mind to anything ultimately he's the only person he listens to for bad or for bad.

    If anything, make Diggle a Blue Lantern. That seems more appropriate, and wouldn't conflict with the Green Lanturd Movie.

    For me the Iris/Barry thing, didn't get creepy until recently,

    When it was just an adopted sibling type thing, ya it was weird, but also understandable.

    When it got creepy is when the Father of both of them is basically

    It's worth keeping in mind how incredibly different the original timeline was, too.

    Everything has happened many years early.

    Original Flash would have gotten his powers in, what, his late 30s?

    I think Barry mentioned at one point before the Christmas break that he was 25, so a 2020 explosion would have made him the Flash at around 31-32. Which I think it close to what comics Barry was kinda suppose to be.

    Also, becoming the Green Lantern would be the perfect way for Diggle's actor to leave the show.

    He doesn't die or retire, he just become so badass that kicking ass on Earth doesn't cut it anymore; He has to go Cosmic.

    I think the excellent casting has a couple missteps.

    The first is that Eddie seems like a great guy, a better catch than Barry in a lot of respects. From Joe's reactions, Eddie should be a little skeevy. Joe's never liked him, and we have been told several times that Joe has an uncanny radar for sketchiness. We'll probably get some future plotlines that justify this, but the sheer charisma from Eddie is throwing things off.

    The second is that Barry and Iris have zero chemistry. They seem like okay friends, but neither actor can sell that there's anything deeper between them.

    These combined make the "Iris+Barry OTP" plotlines a lot weirder than they should be.

    I feel the opposite, Eddie started off as arrogant and kind of an almost a-hole, but over his relationship with Iris he seems to have become a lot more good natured. I like it when characters have arcs like that, and it makes him a much more tragic figure than if he was simply a dick throughout.

    Eddie has far too sexy a voice to be tied down to one lady, he should be an omnisexual, just conquering new and interesting sexualities.

    Joe doesn't want his daughter involved with a Detective. It makes sense if we assume his wife died because of his job.

    Since Barry's career path doesn't even let him have a badge he's exempt

    I wonder if the next episode is also the *WARNING: SPECULATION AHEAD*
    Hawkgirl introduction. Both her and Atom show up at the end to fight RF, RF runs back in time with Barry following as the episode ends. To me, it makes sense. RF created Barry sooner than he was supposed to, so all of the events in RF's career of villainy, have been sped up.

    Iris/Eddie/Barry have the Smallville problem in that the initial relationships presented are far superior to the ones they'll end up with.

    it's funny because the show tried to use various little tricks to make eddie seem like a guy we're supposed to hate, but then never backed that up with anything he actually did. The result is that eddie seems like a decent guy who cares about iris and has been thrust into a difficult situation; he's arguably been the most moral part of their little conspiracy, at least vis a vis iris. Even Barry seems to be working his way around to liking him at this point.

    it was the smallest on the list but

    Yeah, like wasn't Eddie originally supposed to have some kind of dark secret/background and that's why he was a cop in Central City?

    If all that meant was that his last name is Thawne, that's kind of lame.

    Eh Eddie being a nice guy just makes Iris's willingness to stay with him make sense? I mean she could really like barry, but not want to hurt Eddie just because she really likes Barry, that's a completely acceptable reaction and happens all the time.

    If he figures he's cornered, could Eobard Wells use his magic body-switching gizmo to become Eddie instead?
    Then he gets to try and get revenge on Flash by stealing Iris away from him, or something.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    I hope not, because Cavanaugh is so good as is eddie. Though with Thawnes time traveling weirdness, they could "kill" him in the season finale and he can still show up to fuck with the flash because "Lol time travel" just he's more doomed to a fate he doesn't even know he has yet.

    I think it's more likely Eddie will come to hate Barry because he now knows Iris will end up with him.

    Eobard can't exactly kill his ancestor.

    I figured what Eobard meant by calling Eddy his "insurance" was possibly planning to do another body theft and pulling an I'm My Own Grampa.

    I'd like it if they go with that assumption, and Eddie kills himself to stop him (or something).
    Then Wells just goes 'Actually, you're a distant cousin. About the only thing we know about you is that you killed yourself."
    That's a little dark for Flash, though. (I'd expect something like that on Arrow)

    Actually Eddie getting turned by Wells body snatching him would be pretty damn dark as well. Doctor Who time travel: you just have to make events look the same. The interpretation is all in the eyes of the history books.

    That would be my solution to saving Barry's mom. Use meta-science to make a copy of her body (they grew a copy of Multiplex, and Everyman could copy people. Combine the two with Science, job done), then Barry jumps back, leaves the body, and brings his mom back to the present.
    Granted, that leaves his dad in prison for a decade, and gives them some 'splaining to do for how his mom is suddenly alive and ten years too young, but some of that could be explained with the truth ("The Flash saved me, I don't know how. Let my husband go, please?")
