    If Barry and Iris decided to start making out while their brother was being scouted by a superpowered maniac that was torturing him I would lose ALL respect I have for both characters and the writers as it would be a complete betrayal of both of their characters. By all indications  Barry and Iris are NOT the kind of people who would pull crap like that, nor are either of them the flirty lovey dovey all over each other types either. As much as fiction might have made people think otherwise a lot of people in a relationship rarely act like they are barely stopping themselves from jumping each other's bones at every given moment, especially when they've just gotten started with the relationship. I enjoy that the writers are allowing Iris and Barry's relationship to develop more realistically than most couples on TV and actually using some subtlety .

    This. The writers have made some mistakes with Barry/Iris, but they've written them so well this season. They are not over the top, they come across very realistic to me. Some have complained about their kisses, but the situation surrounding each kiss made sense to me. Standing on the grave of Barry's mother was not the place for heavy make out,

    Can Connor move out of Michaela's house already, please? Between having sex in her bed, smashing her coffee table, barging into her bedroom mid-coitus, and probably leeching off her food and electricity and wifi for free, he's turned in the world's worst houseguest. The show keeps trying to sell them as these ride-or-die BFFs, but I just see it as totally one-dimensional with Connor getting all the perks of the relationship and Michaela getting all the abuse. I still can't get over how he gloated over Aiden's new engagement to her. Like, was that shit supposed to be funny?

    Thank you, I like Conner, I really do, but, he's been very disrespectful to Michaela on this show, and as much as I love and enjoy his dynamic with Michaela and Asher, the show has never shown us why she would be friends with him, I still don't get why she can't be friends with Laurel.

    The fact that most discussion surrounding Conner is based on Colivier, shows how the writers have badly treated Conner as a character on his own, and this is one of the reasons I think, Oliver should not have lasted beyond the first season. they should have waited a bit before giving him a permanent love interest.

    I still don't trust Oliver, he is way too interested in what is going on with the Keaton gang.

    As much as I love the keaton five, the heart of this show to me is Annalise, Bonnie and Frank and I don't want any of them to die. Please let it be Nate.

    I still think Laurel might be the one who ends up dieing, the whole love triangle with Wes and Frank and the baby drama plays to me like they are setting up her exit. Not just her, I don't think anyone is safe, the real mystery might not even be who is under the sheet.

    YES. Thank you. The nerve of him to break up with Connor for...not being angry that he sabotaged him? Did he ever even apologize properly for what he did? Wasn't it all because he didn't want Connor to leave, and then when Connor heard him out and understood his motivations and forgave him, Oliver just dumped him anyway? And now he's run back to Connor after getting rejected and realizing there may not actually be that many fish in the sea that would accept him, and Connor's taken him back... instead of a change in attitude, Oliver's back to being pushy, whiny, demanding? Oliver...boy, BYE.

    This so much, I know I'm in the minority, but I never liked Oliver.

    Asher/Michaela somehow went from my least favourite couple to my absolute OTP of the show. How are they so good together? But Asher picking up Michaela's phone, although with good intentions, is probably going to cause a rift between them for a bit.

    I was one of the few that liked them from that club scene last season, but I'm still surprised at how I have come to love them, they are my favorite couple on the show.

  5. Jesus, I can't believe that this man actually won.

    I understand why some Christians voted against Hilary, especially with the fear of abortion being legitimized, but what I don't get is why they would vote for Trump. That really baffles me, Trump is the furthest person from a Christian. I m  Christian myself, and Christianity is built on love and not hate, '' Love your neighborer as yourself''. We are thought to love and tolerate each other, not hate and divide, that is not Christ-like at all, why would these Christians vote for a man that ran his campaign on hate?

    I also read that most white women voted for him, what do you guys make of that?

  6. I'm not American, but from what I see here and on social media, I can't understand why anyone would still vote for Trump, how far dose he have to go before, some of his followers turn against him. From some of the things I'm seeing, dose he really have a shot at winning? Some people are freaking out, and though, it might have no effect on me if he wins, I find that possibility frightening. I hope he doesn't win and that come Tuesday, we will all be cheering his defeat at the polls.

  7. I love how the romance was written this episode, and sincerely I find no fault in it. The Joe/Iris/Barry scenes killed me lol. It was understandable that Joe and Barry felt awkward about it. This Iris doesn't care, maybe because for however long in this post-flaspoint timeline, she've been on the outs with Joe and therefore doesn't really care what he thinks.


    I really love that they communicate with each other about their problems, I hope it continues, and Joe better get with that hot D A.


    I really want them to write more interactions with Iris and Caitlin, its really glaring that the only two women on the team doesn't hangout.

  8. Great episode, I think the best this season for me.

    I love character interactions, the flash characters all feel like family to me, so I Love it when they focus on the characters.

    I'm going to miss Harry and Jessi, but I am curious about new Wells.

    I am interested to see what direction they will take Caitlin, will she become a villain?

    Jessi/Wally were cute.

    Barry with the super-speed to pretend like he wasn't kissing Iris and His awkwardness with Joe was hilarious.

    More than anything I like that the writers are letting Barry/Iris talk about their issues, that how adults deal with problems. I just hope they don't screw them up by manufacturing drama for them, that's the fastest way to get people fed up with a pairing. Just let them have a loving matured relationship.

    Joe was not against Barry and Iris kissing, he just felt weired watching it, thats normal for an over protective parent like Joe, fact is, most fathers would be uncomfortable with it.

    Its okay for the show to address the new dynamic between the three, it would be more weired if they just act like nothing has changed. I think they will now move on from it, especially as Barry is getting his own place.

    I love that Joe might be getting some this season with the D.A., about time.

    Mirror master and top were okay.

    I thought we would get Captain Cold this episode, uncool show.

    Great episode.

  9. I never liked Oliver and Nate and wanted either of them to be the one under the sheet. I wanted Oliver gone because he ruined Conner's character for me, it was too early in season one to bring in true love for conner, and that made most of his story revolve around oliver. I am happy now that they are broken up, I hope the never get back together. Nate is just boring, he adds nothing to the show and I don't find him sexy.

    But I'm starting to think that non of the regulars are under the sheet, but that doesn't mean one of them is not going to die. I think, once who is under the sheet is revealed and we all sigh in relief then bam! one of the regulars will die, and right now I think it might be Laurel or Nate. I like Laurel, so it Better be Nate or Oliver, if I'm lucky it would be both.

    I really like Bonnie/Frank. Its ironic that I initially didn't care about both, but now I do.

    I don't know how I feel about Wes and his girlfriend.

    I love Michaela/Asher/Conner. I can't wait to get more insight on Michaela's background, and I love her scenes this episode.

  10. Oh my Good, the Empire I love is back! I love everything about this season except for Cookie's new boo. 
    I am so glad that they are focusing on Andre this season, the actor is the best actor with Taraji and Howard, and I am loving his story line, Andre my love, hang in there.
    for the first time in a while I love Jamal's love interest, He is so sexy and I love that he was in the military, I am already interested in seeing his and Jamal dynamic play out.
    My boo Hakeem is crazy and spoiled as always and I am loving all his songs this year, he is really coming hard this season. I love his chemistry with the new girl, but I want them to be just friends. 
    Tiana is looking beautiful as always, but I didn't like her song. I love Tiana but they keep bring girls that can out-sing her, Veronica, Hakeem's ex-fiancée (can't remember her name) and now the new girl. But I still want her and Hakeem back together and I wish she would develop a friendship with the new girl.
    Luscious, is still as crazy as ever and I still love to hate him.
    I love luscious and Cookie's back story.
    I am enjoying Anika and luscious' mother.
    Oh, and I miss Rhonda, but I understand why Anika had to live, we get more drama with her.
    Welcome back empire.

    How so?

    This is like one of those lessons that sound good in a writer's head, but not so much on a screen.

    Why? Because it wasn't presented as a fantasy. It wasn't like the Supergirl episode last year where she's in an imaginary Krypton with her parents alive and no planet going boom. We were presented with this world as being real, even if reversible. And however selfish the process of getting to that world was, the undoing of it doubled down on the selfishness, as well as showing some major illogical calculation of damages.

    Wally was badly wounded, but not dead. It was inferred he might not live, but we didn't know for sure (nor did they).
    Joe was a drunk, but that's a treatable condition, not any kind of automatic death sentence.
    Cisco was quite easily arguable as far better off. Even if he showed a jerk side, it was shown that was only surface and he had a far better life otherwise.
    Caitlyn was in a far less ambitious career, but seemed to be a lot more emotional healthy.
    Reverse Flash, this huge villain, was alive again. Which in this case is a bad thing. But in a cage. A good thing (even if it raises doubts he could have been kept there forever).

    Now weigh what would have happened if the change became permanent.

    Wally MIGHT have died. Might. We don't know.
    Joe MIGHT have stayed a drunk. Might. We don't know.
    Barry would have forgotten the old time line and presumably lost his powers.
    Reverse Flash would have gone back to not existing. If Barry was never Flash, then he was never Reverse Flash. We've been told that. Ergo, a HUGE villain is put back in the bottle, so to speak, versus simply being recreated and let loose (like we saw at the end happen). 

    And weight what the cost of undoing it was.

    For certain, two people stop existing (vs. the one, Wally, who MIGHT have died--and for all we know he could be fated to die young in the other timeline too).
    Cisco goes back to a far less successful life. Caitlyn goes back to a more successful one, but one where she doesn't seem nearly as happy.
    Reverse Flash is now existent again, and free to murder all sorts of other folks he otherwise wouldn't have existed to be able to.

    Does that math REALLY justify changing things back? Or was it again just selfishness (because Barry felt bad about Wally)? Thus trading Wally's life (if he died) for two other people's, and also for the lives of anyone Reverse Flash kills now.

    Thank you! Just like you said, the writers had a good idea but the execution was silly. It made no sense for Barry to change the timeline again, there was no urgency. I accept it because atleast Barry learned his lesson about changing the past.

    With all the hype about this episode, I was underwhelmed. I was  one of the few that was excited about flashpoint, just for the new direction it might take us the season, this episode did not get me excited about the season.

    Westallen was cute and all, and there chemistry is still there, but I just didn't buy it this episode. Why would Iris throw away her life and existence for a guy she just met, not just her, why should any of them believe Barry?

    I hate the writers implying that Joe fell apart because, Barry the Saviour was not in his life, even though he has two beautiful children.

    The few good things I loved this episode:

    Iris and Wally fighting crime

    Caitlin getting kidnapped and wandering if she was kidnapped and asking if she could leave after attending to Wally. It was hilarious.

    I know this is not a popular opinion, but I'm glad Iris and Joe is on the outs. The writers have never given priority to Joe/Iris, and as a daughter who is very close to her dad, I always hated that. But with this change, they might spend time dealing with repairing that relationship, which might give both Iris and Joe, screen time, without Barry intruding. This story line will piss me off if their reason for being estranged has any thing to do with Barry. I would prefer it if it's about her mother and Wally, or even her job.

    Finally, as much as I love westallen, they need to give Iris scenes outside of Barry and Starlabs and they need to use this new timeline and write westallen better, they have chemistry, but the writing has to be there too. Show them working together and being the bestfriends the are supposed to be.

    And please can smart Barry comeback?

  12. This is the worst Xmen movie IMHO. As someone that have never read the comics, I never liked Scott and Jean. I hated, them in the first trilogy and I still hate them, I just don't get the appeal, this must be different for comics readers, but from the movie perspective, Jean is just a mutant with Professor-like powers and Scott just shots fire from his eyes, they both bore me to tears. Every time the movie cuts to them I get mad, then movie then pissed me off by killing Alex who I loved from first class just to make Scott sad, what a waste. I prefer Rogue and Iceman to Jean and Cyclops wish we got them in this movie.

    Funny enough, even though Storm never had much to do from the first trilogy, I found her entertaining because she have some cool powers. when I heard that this movie would have a young storm I was excited, but its a shame that this franchise is not interested in developing their minority characters, at this point I believe Storm is added just for diversity sake. I liked the actress playing Storm, what a waste.

    I just don't get why Apocalypse needed the horsemen, except for Magneto, none of them were that powerful and the xmen kicked their asses. The action scenes were so poor and uninspiring except for Quicksilver scene. I thought Apocalypse was controlling them, but they were able to turn away from him, which begs the question, why did they join him in the first place? for power? Why would Magneto even join him? thats out of character for him. Why bring back Moira? she did nothing but follow them around.

    As much as I love Erik and Charles, I did not enjoy them here. I don't buy that the Erik from DOFP would settle down and have a kid, I didn't feel anything about his family dying and I didn't feel anything from Charles either. This movie just felt empty to me. At least I got some beautiful Wolverine and Quicksilver scene.

    First class and Xmen2 are both tied in as best Xmen movie for me followed by days of future past. At least, I still get Erik, Charles and Raven, I really loved their dynamic from first class and days of future past. I am really shocked that comic book fans hates Mystic/Raven. She is one of my favorites from the movies. In the original trilogy, she didn't have much development but she was a kick ass character and was very enjoyable for me and in the first Class trilogy I loved what they did with her, especially her relationship with Erik and Charles. This goes to show how comic book fans and non-comic book fans can see things differently. The characters comic book fans are bored with (Wolverine, Magneto and Mystic), might be characters the general audience actually like.

    I don't know, maybe I'm loosing interest in Xmen (except for Deadpool), they really need to make some dramatic changes to get people interested in this franchise again, its getting repetitive and boring.

    I'd also like to see Iris taking on a big-sister role with Jesse Quick.

    This, and also be a big sister to wally, now that Joe have a son, I dont want them pushing Iris out and make all the relationship Barry/Joe/Wally. I heard Iris was closer to Wally in the comics, I hope they do that.

    Please, let Barry grow-up and make his own decisions, let the team be backup, I don't want them telling him, run Barry, run ever again. Less pep-talks and crying, we all know Grant looks pretty when he cries but you are over dong it show, it makes him look like an over grown baby. Bring back crime scene Barry and happy Barry, no more sad Barry.

    Lets have more reporter and badass Iris. I love the, "You get behind me" Iris. show her on the streets investigating and at her place of work, she can hang at star labs , but only when necessary. Lets have more of Iris' point of view.

    Westallan have great chemistry, don't waste it, less destiny talks and more organic buildup. And please whenever you get them together, no makeup and breakups its tiring, this couple can work without drama.

    Give Caitlin more to do, make her and Iris friends.

    Give Cisco a girlfriend.

    Cisco/Iris friendship would be great too.

    Lets see Joe in a relationship.

    Bring back Tom, as Wells, revers flash or anybody, I just want him on my screen. And bring back Jessie too, Jessie/Wally will be great.

    Please do Flash point well.

    I actually think Danielle is a better actress than Candace & for me, it has nothing to do with her not being white. There are probably a lot of ppl who would agree with you about Candace & agree with me about Danielle. But maybe it's because Danielle has a bigger role in the group. Like she lost Ronnie/Firestorm. Then this thing with Jay/Zoom. And her doppelgänger was a meta human. It's the Teen Choice Awards. But I really don't think it has anything to do with race.

    In what world is Danielle a better actress than Candice? maybe on Earth10. Her doppleganger was bad and cheesy. She handles every scene the same way, she waving her arms, bends her neck and dose weird things with her eyes. I ignored it before, but this last episode was something else.

  15. Steve/Peggy was good, but IMHO Tony/Pepper was better. Steve/Peggy had romantic chemistry, what gave them an advantage in the romantic department was the star-crossed lovers situation, it made us feel for them, but when I try to think about them as a couple there is no stand outs. They met, had a little discussion in a cab, Steve gets the serum, saves Bucky and next we see them have any meaningful conversation together was about Bucky's death. we did not really spend time together with them. What really saved this pairing was that both had chemistry and Peggy's actor is a good actor with strong screen presence that cannot be overlooked even when she had little screen time.

    Tony/Pepper on the other hand, started small and we see their relationship develop on screen, we see them date, fight and make up. No matter how immature Tony acted sometimes I see them as everyday couple with problems, their relationship is not over the top and I buy them as a couple. I hope the writers fix  their relationship in infinity wars.

    I was a little into Clint/Natasha till Joss ruined it in Avengers 2, I would have bought them as a couple. I must confess that I no longer care about Clint, Joss ruined him for me in that movie, I laughed out loud when he said to T'Challa, "I am Clint" and he replied, "I don't care".

    I watched the first Avengers movie the other day and realized that Joss must have planned Natasha/Bruce from the beginning. If you look at some of their interactions in that movie now you might see little seeds of their future romance, its just that the set up in the second Avengers was bad.

    Thor/Jane, meh.

    Lets hope they do a better job in Spider man and Black Panther.

    I was onboard with you until the bolded. I would enjoy this twist if I thought the reboot was permanent and the show was going back to the drawing board and reshaping itself. Because like you, I've been tremendously bored with this season and become convinced the writers had fatigued themselves with the current form of the show. Otherwise, I think it's the opposite of breathing life into the show, because whatever is about to happen for however long (half a season? most of the season?) will be completely pointless, and when Barry gets back, we're back to the same tired format.

    They may reverse it, but I hope that they keep some of the improvements. For example, if they right Iris better and give her more screen time, I don't believe that when they reverse what Barry did, that they will go back to Iris being in the background. I think they might experiment with this to see what works better, then they will stick to it, or maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part lol.

    I agree with you for the most part, @STOPSHOUTING, but I thought they did a great job with Pepper and Tony, showing the development of their relationship in a mostly realistic and enjoyable way.  No question, the Thor/Jane relationship was a snore-fest, I think primarily due to the fact they fell in love at first sight and that was it.  It doesn't help that they generally forego rounding out their female characters so I have no real impression of Jane beyond absent minded scientist.

    Ultimately, I think if they're going to make a romantic relationship part of the plot, they need to devote the time and character development to make it plausible and entertaining.  Otherwise, why bother?  Poorly done romances irritate the ones who like romance, and just annoy those who don't.

    Tony/Pepper are great, good  chemistry, well written, I love them. I hope they do Natasha/Bucky some day.

    How can that kiss be passionate when Barry just reveal that he was broken inside? Give the guy a break, his dad just died. I love that the kiss was sweet and nice, that was appropriate for the moment. Being passionate and tearing each others clothes off would be out off character for both of them in that scene.

    Of course, I have the same problem with Iris West too.  They can't seem to figure out what to do with her.  Now that they've solved her storyline of "she doesn't know", they've reduced her character to standing around STAR labs waiting for something to happen so she can...wear cute outfits.  (Don't get me wrong, the outfits are cute...but why can't do stuff independently that would assist the team.

    Even though we've had some awsome Iris episodes this season (12, 13, 14, 21) I kind of agree with this, but isn't Joe having the same problem? He's a cop but we hardly see him and Barry at work anymore. I hate that star labs is where  90% of the action happen, its limiting most of these characters, I hope that changes next season.

    2. And speaking of Iris, I thought she was far too resigned to Joe's disappearance, but maybe she had just finally realized she'd never be his favorite kid anyway and her life would be better now.

    I don't see it as being resigned rather as Iris thinking of the greater good. Most people are mad at Barry choosing his happiness over the fate of the world and now we have Iris make a tough decision to put the safety of the universe first. How is that wrong, she saw the greater picture and Joe agreed to it as they said, to me it makes Iris a better hero than Barry, she has what it takes to make the tough decisions, and it wasn't like she loved doing it, you could see how hard it was for her, she was holding back tears.

    As for Cap himself?  I'm a fan of an interpretation of him without any romantic partner at all. It never serves his character that well, no matter who it is.

    Yes, even as a stucky shipper, I agree with this, I prefer Cap when he dose not have a romantic interest. its good that some people want representation, there's no harm in that but I don't think its right to turn on Marvel because they didn't make Cap bisexual (seriously this is a thing too, its not just straight or gay). But also its not respectful to term the people that want this as stupid/crazy as I have seen some people do else where. This is not a new thing, some times people reject canon love interest, happens in every fandom, Arrow, The flash, Star trek, xmen etc. The only different thing here is that this ship is not straight and I don't like that people sometimes treat some of its shippers with scorn. The studios and writers should write what they are motivated to write and not pander to anyone, they just have the do it in an organic way.

    Just seen it, finally. And all I can really say is, I'll call this my latest lesson in not believing hype.

    What a muddled, shallow, empty mess of a movie. Lots of cool little bits, some nice scenes, but completely bungled, from a narrative point of view. It never felt like its own movie, written as a complete piece that was worth paying money to see. It felt like someone just decided they wanted the Avengers to fight each other, and then someone else realised that would work quite well for the next Avengers movie. So they did it.

    Oh, and they also felt they had to introduce new characters, and throw almost everyone into the mix, to the extent that no one, not even Cap himself, got enough focus to leave me satisfied. Despite what reviews said, this did not feel like a Captain America movie, and Bucky was not a co-lead. Hell, he wasn't even a character. He was a macguffin that was used to make everyone fall out. Might as well have just had a photo of him on the desk next to the Sokovia Accords.

    What a waste of a character who could bring so much moral complexity and richness to a story. Instead of looking at his guilt and how he deals with all the things he's done, it boiled down to a couple of lines approximating regret, in between all the fighting. Sigh. Predictable, and immensely disappointing. Oh, and then they put him back on ice at the end because they didn't have time to actually address anything that Bucky's character requires, and clearly have no intention of doing so. 'Thanks for serving the plot, Bucky, now back in the freezer with you.'

    As I said, there were lots of cool bits. Bucky making his escape on the motorbike, Spider-Man, Ant-Man becoming Giant-Man. But most of it could, and in my view should have been sacrificed in favour of actually nailing down an emotionally satisfying story to tell for Captain America, Bucky and the other characters involved (which should have been a lot less than actually appeared). Like I say, this never felt like a movie in its own right, just a vehicle to set up future movies. And that's not something I want to be spending my money on.

    And hell, who knows, maybe if they'd cut out half the stuff that didn't need to be in the movie, they could have actually earned the Steve/Sharon kiss instead of it just being 'two attractive people have three scenes together, so of course they kiss'. They could have used Natasha's conflicted feelings more, and not had her simply disappear into thin air. They could have made Martin Freeman and Daniel Bruhl do some work, instead of being paint-by-numbers characters who honestly didn't need to be there. Hell, they could even have explored the idea of doing a little harm to do a lot of good, and the idea of control by committee, instead of just vaguely waving at them then having more fight scenes.

    I will just say this, to people upset that Steve chose Bucky over Tony. No, he didn't. He chose right over wrong. Bucky did not do anything to Howard and Maria. He had no control over anything he did, and therefore should not be punished. That is patently unjust and unfair, and Steve Rogers recognises that. As usual, he was doing what was right. Does anyone here think that Steve would have let Tony kill a random unknown who had been mind controlled to kill Howard? I don't. Steve is better than that.

    In get why you are disappointed, the writers not showing us more of Steve's motivations is one of the two criticisms I have about the movie. The thing is that as a movie judged on its own merits, it’s a great movie. Even though the movie was crowded every character had an opportunity to shine, Steve, Tony, Bucky, Sam, Antman, Black Panther, even Sharon Carter. The villain was an everyday kind of guy that I felt sorry for in the end and he actually achieved what he set out to do. More than any of this, the movie avoided the cliché of having the heroes unite to fight a common threat but rather made the fight personal.

    As a movie it as great but for fans of Captain America that wanted a movie about Cap and his friends tracking down Bucky it might be a disappointment. From a business point of view, Marvel did the smart thing. They were able to get people hyped for the next Spiderman and Black Panther movies, even though people were tired of the former and knew almost nothing about the later, last week or so, BLACKPANTHERSOLIT trended on twitter.

    As a Cap and Bucky fan (now Black Panther's too), I was a bit let down, but I enjoyed the movie and am glad Black Panther was included. I just wish they could have given us a couple of minutes where Steve reflects more on his thoughts, Bucky voices out how he was feeling about being an assassin for hydra and maybe few flashbacks to their time in Brooklyn and Peggy. Let's hope we get some of this in Infinity wars.

  25. I know some westallen fans are worried about this, but the thing is that Barry and Iris were already friends before his mother died, so I think they are still going to be friends. The exception will be if Barry and his family moved away from central city. Even at that, when they meet again its not going to be as strangers. I think there is a reason the writers had Iris make that promise to Barry about waiting for him no matter where he goes, they are not going to be separated for long. So, I'm not worried, I can't wait for next season.
