Sakura12 November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 8 minutes ago, Delphi said: I just got caught up on legends. Love two creepy episodes in a row. If they choose to go supernatural forever I'm for it. Though, if someone wants to help me out I'd be grateful. Did Darhks power work on Thea before she was cured because if not I'm wondering how it worked on Sara, who didn't have the benefit of... magic flowers. Her soul was regained but she still has Lazarus blood lust, I assume it would have to be worse than Thea's was. When Sara rejoined the LoA in the 1950's for 2 years she took some herbs that Ra's had that cured her bloodlust. 1 Link to comment

Trini November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 (edited) Grant shares some crossover info: Quote "It's a comic book wedding, so it's classic," teased Gustin. "It's beautiful. But obviously, things aren't going to be perfect. Something's going to happen. But it's classical, it's classic beautiful wedding. It's cool." According to Arrowverse set designer Tyler Bishop Harron, the set design team built a massive cathedral set for the crossover, a fact that Gustin, too, mentioned during our interview. "It's on this set too that... they told me how much they spent to build it but I'm not going to repeat that," said Gustin. "It was in a warehouse soundstage, it wasn't a real soundstage. It was in this warehouse that they built a church. It was insane. You thought you were in a real church and it was beautiful. I'm excited for everyone to see it." Quote "I didn't really think about it that way," said Gustin. "We've been leading up to this wedding for a long time. It's, in some ways, fitting that it's part of the crossover because it's also a little strange that we've been leading up to this wedding and it's not even on The Flash. It's technically on a different show." But it's also how [The Flash] started, this show started on Arrow. We've consistently had these crossovers and we're bringing so many characters together for this wedding, it's kind of fitting that it happens somewhere else. http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-flash/268809/the-flash-season-4-grant-gustin-previews-barryiris-wedding Edited November 9, 2017 by Trini 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 Finally watched Flash's Girls Night Out. I didn't hate it but it was very very very "Meh." Like one of those fairly unexciting filler episodes. Nothing about it thrilled me very much not even drunkBarry. I think because there was so much excitement around it (and with my precious Felicity guest starring) I was expecting it to deliver something like Arrow 604 or Legends 304 but with an Iris focus. It obviously delivered NOTHING like those two episodes. I really like Iris, even though I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of hers the way I am of Felicity and Ray and I felt really let down after getting my perfect Felicity episode and perfect Ray episode last week! I would have liked a smashing Iris episode this week. Link to comment

She did other odd stuff that I can't even remember because this episode was fairly boring, except drunk Barry. There was totally enough room on that door. 1 Per Mythbusters it was a question of buoyancy, not room. BUT if they'd put their life vests underneath, then both could have survived. 3 Link to comment

You've written them that way for years, so acknowledge it. Their ups and their downs, their victories and their defeats have all served to flesh out complex characters that define #feminism...all without ever having to actually employ cheerleaders to lead us in a "F-E-M-I-N-I-S-T" chant from the sidelines. Have faith in the personas you've created. More importantly, have a little respect for the audience's intellect. Show us a fierce woman and we'll connect the dots from there. * * * Just as importantly, don't hamstring our heroes with a bad idea. Going up against Amunet (Katee Sackhoff) and her lackeys with some souped-up guns and an attorney on overwatch? Probably not for the best. Going in with the Boot and the CCPD on call? Yes, please. Speaking of Amunet, what's with her escape? Killer Frost/Caitlin had her pigeonholed, removed from all available sources of alnico. And yet, the leader of the meta underground was allowed to take her impression of Doctor Who's Missy and quickstep off-screen. Sure, her arrest could have posed a few complications -- she knows Dr. Snow's alter ego after all -- but she'd also be safely locked away in Iron Heights (or as secure as one can be with a crooked warden in play.) Instead, Sackhoff's murderous villain is free to marshal a vendetta against our heroes. * * * It's mistakes like these that cause series to relegate women to the background. With a failure on their hands, will the Arrowverse ever give its heroines a chance for another team up? Could The Flash masterminds have spit-shined that plot before delivery? ....

tv echo November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 (edited) Heroic Homecoming: Danny Elfman Returns to Score Justice League Tim Beedle November 8th, 2017http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/11/08/heroic-homecoming-danny-elfman-returns-to-score-justice-league Quote Back in 1988, the superhero genre as a whole was still pretty new in film. That’s definitely not the case now. Did that change how you set about writing the score for Justice League? Well, yeah. Styles change over the years. Back then I took it into what Tim used to call “the march.” Well, we wouldn’t do that now. That would be corny by today’s standards. So, I wrote stylistically how I would write now, not then, except for a few moments where Joss [Whedon] was very consciously like, “Let’s do the old thing right here!” There are definitely nods throughout the movie to previous successors. I do use Hans Zimmer’s Wonder Woman theme a couple of times. Joss loves including a few of those moments in the music that you know the fans are going to love. So, there’s maybe, MAYBE one moment that’s dead-on 1989 Batman. Is it a difficult thing to do as a composer to add existing themes into an original score? And does it push your score in a certain direction? No, because they’re self-conscious moments. We’re doing this moment here, and that moment there, but that still leaves 100 minutes of music. The bigger challenge in Justice League was that I had all of these characters and I couldn’t just go and start writing big themes for everybody because you can only do so many themes in one movie. How to fit that puzzle together was really the tricky part. I came up with two heroic themes, one which was just an overall Justice League theme and one which was a team theme. I’m using that more when the team is coming together. I also have an “Anti-Hero Theme” as well as a Steppenwolf theme. But then I tried to provide really simple little hooks for Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman, without going too far. There’s a certain point where you just get a mess of themes, and that’s just going to be a nightmare. So, I tried to simplify those characters to just a few notes, so that there’s something recognizable, and I tried to keep my new thematic action more involved around the entire group as a whole, so it didn’t get too fragmented. But it was still quite a huge jigsaw puzzle of how to do that in a way that wasn’t too messy and served the purposed of the film. So yeah, Justice League was really a challenging film, but I like challenges. * * *The one song that’s been released so far, “Hero’s Theme,” certainly sounds rousing and uplifting, but it ends with some pretty unique sounds that are almost discordant. Were you signifying anything there, or did you just think it sounded cool? Oh yeah, that was just me having fun. “Hero’s Theme” is an overall heroic theme for the Justice League, and as I mentioned, there’s also a secondary theme, which represents the team. That’s how the logos start right at the beginning of the film. * * *We’re giving fans their first chance to hear another one of your songs from the score, “Friends and Foes” (above). This is one of the songs that incorporates an earlier, very recognizable DC theme. So why bring back some of these earlier themes in your score for Justice League? With Justice League, they’re really launching this franchise as a unique franchise—it’s their own world. Often when a franchise is relaunched, they start all of the music from scratch. Most of the time, that’s a decision that may not harm the financial success of the franchise, but it definitely takes away from the longevity or durability of a franchise. The franchise that I always come back to again and again is Star Wars. It’s the oldest musical franchise we have and wisely, it’s the one time they’ve decided not to do that when they relaunched it. It was a really smart thing. Fans, when they hear little bits of the John Williams themes, even when they’re in an offshoot like Rogue One, it provides this great historical context that ties everything together in a really satisfying way. My feeling coming into Justice League was that DC had great things that were uniquely theirs and to not acknowledge them was to let go of little jewels. To deny that is really just denying the fans. To a fan, hearing that little connection is a heartwarming thing. It gives you some adrenaline and excitement. It’s fun! Edited November 9, 2017 by tv echo 2 Link to comment

Cleanqueen November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 My ideal female focused episode is one where they dont make it obvious that it is a female focused episode, and one that especially pisses off the haters. I did like the Felicity centric episode on Arrow last week, it had a perfect balance. And yes more could be done specifically on Arrow. You dont need to eliminate the men, just let the women shine and be at the forefront of the story line. 10 Link to comment

JamieLynn832002 November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 The problem I had with Girls Night Out is that all of the women behaved in monumentally stupid ways. I feel like your #feminism is failing when every time any of them decided to do anything, it was incredibly dangerous and stupid to even attempt. All of them have been shown to be intelligent so why was the display of the feminism finding myriad ways to risk their lives with absolutely no plan to actually defeat the villains? And ultimately everyone escaped so the message reads more as "women can't do it without men" than feminism. 9 Link to comment

tv echo November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 (edited) ‘The Flash’ 4.05 Recap: “That’s Not How Feminism Works” Josh Zyber - November 9, 2017https://www.highdefdigest.com/blog/flash-405-recap/ Quote It’s time for Iris’ bachelorette party, and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) pays a visit from Star City to celebrate. Caitlin is hesitant to go out and party, but they talk her into it. Joe’s fiancée Cecile gets invited as well, which speaks to how few female characters this show has. Doesn’t Iris have any work friends from the Picture News who’d go out with her? For that matter, does she even still work there? Was that addressed at some point? * * * ... The magnet grabs all of Amunet’s metal pellets (but none of the other metal in the warehouse), allowing Frost to defeat her easily. Iris then has to stop Frost from killing Amunet. Rather than capture her, they make an inexplicable conscious decision to let her run away and bother them another day. * * * This is a pretty weak episode on the whole. The girl-power theme is pushed so hard and so clumsily that I’m surprised this episode is actually credited to a couple of women as writers. It feels like something a man would write while bragging about being a great feminist. More than one character speaks the phrase “#feminism” unironically. Who does that? Who says “hashtag” anything out loud? The most galling part would have to be the Joanie storyline, which spouts some token platitudes about a woman’s right to find empowerment in any career she chooses, but ultimately ridicules the character for being foolish and ends with the regressive message that being a sex object is inherently degrading. I like Katee Sackhoff and think she would normally be a fine addition to this show, but her character is just kind of dumb. Also, Felicity does practically nothing the whole episode except crack a couple jokes. Aside from the desperate need to have another female character on screen, her presence in this episode serves little purpose. Edited November 9, 2017 by tv echo 2 Link to comment

Usually when I hear about the crappy turns the life of an an actor I used to like, it involves drugs or mental health problems, not deranged rape cults. Its a twisted mix of tragic and just weird. Really, I thought the Flash episode was ok, but the #feminism stuff was just embarrassing. It was handled with the subtly of a Supergirl episode doing political commentary. Like, instead of just showing the women being awesome, lets keep TALKING about it! And its really annoying because I thought this season of Flash was actually doing better than usual on its female characters (well, Iris at least) and had generally had a jump in quality.

I heard an interview a couple of weeks ago with a woman who was in it and she described it as being asked for something true about yourself that you wouldn't tell in order to prove your loyalty and subservience. I attended a workshop today on "mattering", the idea of how much you matter to others and how much you're affected by it. I can understand why someone who really wanted to matter to a group would do things he/she wouldn't do ordinarily. (I wore my Stargate earrings and no one recognized them. I know someone from here would have.) Link to comment
Starfish35 November 10, 2017 Share November 10, 2017 (edited) Arrowverse 4-Way Crossover Synopsis Confirms [ Spoiler ] Will Be a Cool Ally Quote “Crisis on Earth X”: Barry and Iris’s wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony. All of the superheroes band together with help from their super friends like Citizen Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller), The Ray (guest star Russell Tovey, Quantico), Felicity Smoak, Iris West and Alex Danvers to take on their most formidable villains yet. Earth’s mightiest heroes – Green Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and White Canary – lead their teams into battle to save the world.” Edited November 10, 2017 by Starfish35 I wish TVLine wouldn't put [Spoiler] in their titles 1 Link to comment

I wish it previewed a little bit more of the plot. I really hope this '4-part movie' ends up getting a special DVD relaese, or all the episodes get on all the series' DVD/Blu-ray sets. 1 Link to comment
