Can't say I'm a fan of The Flash show so far. It sort of looks like a mix between Smallville and Spiderman, so the style of the show barely distinguishes itself.
I was also somewhat disappointed that Barry turned out to be a nerdy type hero, cause... well in the cartoon he was always this sarcastic jokester, and I thought it'd be great if we finally got a live action superhero with that personality. This isn't to say the show is doing something wrong, I just hoped for something... more novel I guess.

I somewhat have a bit of a suspension of disbelief problem too. Every time a bad guy manages to hit him (like, regular punches and kicks), shouldn't Barry be able to easily avoid them? His reaction and body speed should be much faster than, let's say, someone who can merely clone himself.

Should be a lot of fun. The last episode of Flash was the best one yet, for my money.

It'd be fun if they both chatted about their horrible timing concerning their not-girlfriends!

I feel sometimes slightly underwhelmed by the flash, but I'm not giving up, Agents of SHIELD made me feel a bit like that sometimes last year, and look where it went ;D
I really want to get more excited about it, that "omg I can't wait for next week" that lasts longer than a few hours after I've seen the episode.

Barry being a scientist/nerd was always the case, the character you're thinking of is Wally West (who was originally Kid Flash).

His reaction and body speed should be much faster than, let's say, someone who can merely clone himself.Yes he should be able to dodge them, but this is 1. early in the career and 2. most of the time I've seen this it was first encounter, so he's still trying to see what they can do. Not that having an issue is a bad thing, I'm just saying why it doesn't bother me.

@Prof: (Latest Arrow episodes stuff)
Spoiler:
What's going on with Palmer's suit mock-up in Arrow? It looked kind of Iron Man'ish at first glance, but I imagine it'll be something quite different.

So good *____*
Spoiler: Flash vs. Arrow
Oliver's presence improves The Flash by about 200% XD
I laughed so much. Why can't the rest of the series be this fun?

Given that Oliver and Felicity were in the city together, the Arrow was in the city and Felicity was known to work with the Arrow - did they really expect to keep Oliver's identity secret? Really?! That was just a stupid move. :x

Nice that Oliver noticed that something's off about Dr. Wells, but now the latter knows his identity :|

Oliver 'training' with Barry and the fight at the end were lots of fun as well.

Iris is... Let's say the love story between Barry and Iris is about as exciting as the one between Oliver and Laurel was - which is to say not at all. :-X

Can't wait for part 2!

It was a great episode, and all the characters work so well together!! I hope we'll get more team ups in the future!
Spoiler:
I'm not over Diggle and the fries, it was so unexpected of him!
We just saw Oliver's ex, so I'm guessing he'll know about his child sooner rather than later!
Firestorm was great, but I wonder how he got out...

This is awesome *_*
Spoiler:
I agree with Fuji that the Iris and Barry is really boring. I'm with Ollie saying to just give up on her.

Edit: I'm in the middle of part 2 but
Spoiler:
Bart Allen lolololololol
Edit 2: I dunno I kinda liked the first half better. :V
