Really don't know if I should continue watching this.

I really enjoyed Season 1, mainly because of Harrison Wells/Thawne. He was a superb villain. But Season 2, oh man, they really messed everything up. A lot of filler episodes, ridiculous meta-humans (King Shark???), boring villain (Zoom) and I honestly couldn't understand his overly complex origin with all these dopplegangers.

A bit before the season ended, I started watching GoT and never got back to Flash. Didn't even bother to see the last two episodes of the season. Compared to GoT, it just seemed... a very big downgrade in quality. It actually looks the same compared to other shows as well.
 
The Flash and Supergirl musical crossover may have a dance sequence.

http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/08/18/the-flash-and-supergirl-musical-crossover-may-have-a-dance-seque/

In early 2017, The Flash and Supergirl will team up for a musical episode -- and The Flash's executive producers won't say no to the idea of adding a dance sequence to their half.

"f we can get a dance sequence in there on top of it, I would love to do that. Listening to Joe as the lounge singer, singing, and to see Grant and he was karaoke-ing first season, and even watching Danielle, not being able to sing ... I'm just really excited, to be honest, to see how it all comes together," showrunner Todd Helbing told IGN. "I know Greg [Berlanti] is very close to this story. He's been thinking about it -- I don't know how long, probably not just yesterday, you know what I'm saying? He's been percolating. Seeing Jesse sing, seeing Grant sing, it's just one of those -- like whoa, we can totally pull this off. I don't know why we wouldn't do this. Let's go for it. This year in general we're really swinging for the fences."

The Flash executive producer explains how Savitar is different from previous speedster villains.

http://comicbook.com/2016/08/18/the-flash-executive-producer-explains-how-savitar-is-different-f/

During a newly-released interview, The Flash executive producer Todd Helbing explained that the series is well-served by having another speedster as a main villain, even though many fans wonder why somebody with basically the same powers as Season One's Reverse-Flash and Season Two's Zoom should be playing a big role in the upcoming third season.

Described as a "Dark Master of the Speed Force," Savitar named himself after the Hindu god of motion. He's different from the other speedsters, in part, because he's able to lend or steal speed, and he's spent a lifetime studying velocity. That's obviously something that they played with a little bit with Zoom, but in the case of Savitar, it's been a long, long life.

"I think in general if you have some of these other meta humans, it gets hard to show how Barry can't get them," Helbing told IGN. "If you have another speedster, especially someone like Zoom, or Reverse Flash, you need somebody on an equal level to provide that threat that a lot of these other metas can't do."

Worse? It just keeps getting better.

You wouldn't really expect them to stand still when singing songs unless it's a ballad. And they're not going to have a whole episode of ballads and no fast songs.
 
Well, definitely skipping the musical stuff. Will just rewatch Community's "Regional Holiday Music" instead. At least with something like Power Rangers Zeo, it wasn't a flat out musical, so much as it was Tanya and Tommy stuck speaking in song.
 
It worked for Buffy, It worked in Batman: Brave and the Bold, Scrubs pulled it off, Doctor Horrible was incredible... I'm not worried. I think the musical episode will be great.

Well, Doctor Horrible was a musical, less so a show that happens to have a musical episode. I doubt anyone thinks it won't work...but it's not exactly something to look forward to. There's a reason Community ripped on Glee- well, besides that it was a terrible show. Either way, skipping.

Flashpoint brought in the Wildstorm and Vertigo universes into the DCU. They've done it before and they'll do it again at their own prerogative. And it's not like any of us have mastered time and interdimensional travel to know what is or isn't possible.

If the CW wants to bring the Supergirl continuity into CW's Earth-1 following Flashpoint they certainly can.
 
Looks like they're starting to set up a Rogue War story arc. I'm cool with that. :up:
 
I do hope they try to emulate the comics costumes for Mirror Master and The Top

Flashpoint merged universes. Before that, between Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis, we've seen the earth go from a Multiverse, to a single planet to 52 Earths. They can certainly do whatever they want. Especially where Supergirl takes place in a City we've never seen in Flarrow. They could merge the whole city with all it's characters in, and not have to mix continuity much.

Are you honestly pointing out the difference in quality between a CW show and an HBO show? Every episode has double the budget, and the fight scene in one recent episode took 25 days to film. Compared to the like 3-4 days an entire episode of Flash gets.

C'mon man. Apples and Oranges.

On the other hand I don't like GoT and regularly say Flash is the best thing on TV.

Depends what you're looking for in your TV. If you're impressed by whatever the hell GoT does, then fine. But I'm impressed that Flash gives us something fun, thrilling, and action packed every week. For me it's yet to have a bad episode.
