Arrow The Barry Allen/The Flash Thread

[Lunar_Wolf]

Watched the first episode of Arrow, and I can't say it drew me in, but, I'm pumped to see Flash.

 

[Boy Scout]

It gets a lot better as it goes along.

 

[Human Torch]

In a way,I wonder if it's advisable to instruct first time viewers to begin half-way through the season and watch it through,before going back to the beginning?

 

[Boy Scout]

I think so. I didn't become a fan of the show until very recently. I watched the first few episodes, got bored, watched a couple more later on, and still wasn't interested. It was actually the news of other heroes (especially the Flash) appearing on the show next season that convinced me to give it another go. To my surprise...it's very good. Not perfect, but I eagerly await the season two finale.

I think the evolution of the show just over the first Series is interesting. I went into it knowing that it wasn't about powers and it would be street level stuff. Then by the end it was all about a big earthquake machine. I think it's worth watching from the start. It's when they introduce Roy that they take a step back and change things up I think.

So yeh, with Flash coming in this year and him actually getting a hero name it's obviously going to become more comic booky. But always watch from the start.

Still not sure if I like these super powers coming
Into play, just wished they had staying with no
Superpowers, but I'll wait and see

I can see what you mean, because
The writers had a 5 year series
Bible that probably didn't include the Flash
As a main character, so I hope the integrity
Of the series isn't comprimised. But I must
Ask you: why do you type your posts to look
Like they are poems?

 

[DrRocket]

Poem? Me? Nah, wouldn't know what a poem looks like
Since I've never read one (weird?)I mean I wouldnt
Mind the flash if they could nail the special effects
But since its on tv ( saw the effects on small vile, terrible )
And they don't have that a big of a budget.

Also, new clip from season 2

I'm suprised it took some people so long to get drawn in. I thought the pilot was fantastic and it was on a great run of consistency after that up until 1 or 2 duds but overall I thought the first season was superb.

I know right! When the pilot came out, I rewatched
It like 5 times. Was initially disappointed about amell being cast
(Wanted Justin Harley) but after the first season I can't image
Anyone else in the role, only thing I hate about this show is laurel.


Hope she dies

Stephen Amell> Justin Hartley'

Amell keeps getting better too. I'm a fan

On Smallville, Clark wasn't really relegated to secondary character by the heroes -- only by Green Arrow in later seasons, somewhat -- since they only appeared once in a brief while. Also every time they appeared they had something important to pass on from one another. Those chance acquaintances we all have in life where we meet someone who helps us all progress in our journeys in life. I think the Flash could have the same effect here -- he's a light, comical guy who loves superheroes and brings a whole different view and notion to the table. To just live a little. And I'd say that's what Oliver needs, especially now.

Also what this could leave the door open for --

This absolutely needs to happen. Not right away, but at some point. It's one of the key relationships of the character.

Plus, like for Oliver in 'Smallville' - dealing with finding out that there are supernatural beings out there who have powers? It's bound to shake up the playing board and introduce other complications into the mix. Can a human fight these super powered villains right alongside these super powered heroes or is he not enough? It's really a great struggle and question to ask. And rising above that question is what really makes these human figures in comic books heroic. They're risking a lot more.

Quote-
In an interview with TV Guide, Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim shared
that he would want Hal Jordan to appear on the show down the line,
considering his friendship with Oliver Queen in the comics.Colton
Haynes hinted that Jordan may appear in Season 2.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I hope if Hal appears, he appears in an episode with Barry, and Ollie introduces the two.

 

[Human Torch]

I think it's only a matter of time before Hal shows up.Whether they will be able to weave in some GL action is another matter.

It'd be cool if Hal recruited Diggle as a GL and spin him off as John Stewart.

Of course,his last name isn't Stewart.....maybe he takes the name for some ceremonial reason....what's his nephew's name?

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

I can't say I'm looking forward to how they're going to treat the GL VFX.

But yeah, I'd love to see a Hal/Ollie team-up arc on Arrow, and later a Hal/Barry team-up arc on The Flash.

John Stewart Diggle can later be awarded a ring and get whisked away (to Oa). Have him make his GL debut in the JL movie (with a recast if need be).

 

[Kevin Smith]

Hal showing up would be cool. What age would he be though?

 

[Sawyer]

Ollie's supposed to be late 20s, so I assume the same would go for Hal.

 

[Pepsiguy2]

Pretty sure Hal will show up on Flash rather than Arrow, hopefully.

My vote to play him is Victor Webster. (Continuum)

 

[Project862006]

my hal would be rob kazinsky(true blood,pacific rim) he is only 29

 

[Ryder]

Haven't we learnt something about CW casting yet, fan casting don't work and they cast the first person that walks into the room and the one who you least expect for the role. Look at your perfect character fancast, and think the exact opposite of that, thats CW casting usually.

 

[Sawyer]

Give it a rest.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Rob Kazinsky as Hal on a tv show is something that could actually happen . i dig that idea

 

[S. Grundy]

Kinda disappointing they went with someone so young (and bland) looking for Barry. Such is life on the CW.
