    That was so awesome! "...I think it chose you, ...cause you can inspire people."
    I love Barry Allen.

    Edit:
    Last person on planet to post on it, thread = fail.

    I know! That quote was great - especially since in Flash: Rebirth we learn that the bolt of lightning was actually Barry himself running through time and coursing with Speed Force energy that took the form of electricity. He did kind of get "chosen" to be the generator of the force.

    By the way, I paused at the scene with Barry's mom and I think I sort of made out John Wesley Shipp's face in the background. Meaning that he's playing Barry's dad and not Jay Garrick like some people had hoped. I think it's better this way - he will literally be passing on the Flash legacy to a successor in a weird but cool kind of way.

    The stunts and effects are really great for a TV show. A CW TV show no less. I hope that they can keep up the good stuff moving forward.

    I actually was NOT a fan of that line, but I DO like the thought of them bringing in that element of his origin eventually. Really hope they go all out with the adaptation in a lot of ways.

    The line itself, I'm just not a fan of that kind of unfounded supposition. Projecting onto things like that with no reason what so ever. Why on Earth would Ollie say that? Why would he throw out such a woo woo bs statement like that?

    I had to chuckle at the ABs comment. All i saw was a thin body. So far so good for DC fans :)

    Cause he's come to him for advice, and he knows Barry, the scene isn't about the lightning or understanding the lightning, it's about recognizing the man behind it. Which Ollie does.

    That was one of the best investments of 5 minutes I have made in a long time.

    The amusing thing is that they did that in the 90's show as well. JWS was supposed to be playing this nerdy scientist, but the guy was in great shape. So the show took every opportunity to relieve him of his shirt and show off his abs.

    I don't think they'll be showing off Grant Gustins body constantly like that. He's hardly got much to show off lol he needs to bulk up a little to fit that suit imo. Looks too big for him.

    that's just me nitpicking though. I'm hypedddd about this now.

    I. . . can't help but spend the whole "inspirational speech" rewriting it.

    "What if I'm not a hero?" "Barry, bud, you can't *possibly* be a worse hero than I was at the beginning. Unless you decide to start killing random security guards, you'll be fine."

    Barry being the bolt that hit himself originated in the 80s, but I agree, I too am excited for the show.

    Also, while I hated that Johns made murder a part of Barry's backstory in the comics, that Barry's dad is played by JWS only adds to his innocence, IMO, almost like we already "know" him in a sense, and I think that's awesome.

    I was so worried about this show, but now, there is no doubt at all that it is going to be amazing. It looks plausible enough and I'm loving it! The effects are much better than I expected! Can't wait for the Flash/ Arrow cross-overs (hope there are a lot of them).

    I LOVE the running animation. It's not just a lame blur effect...the "sparks" and what not as he's running just add to the effect and really remind me of some of the better comic art styles of Flash I enjoyed.

    It's like Fringe mixed with Raimi's Spider-Man.

    The "run barry run" and "it's time to think big" lines were definitely cringeworthy for me to listen in the way they were delivered
