Primal Slayer April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 One of the things I really enjoy about Black Lightning is that we have so many villains and they all bring the quality. Not to mention they have at least one henchmen that brings it and doesnt just get killed off quickly. 3 Link to comment

Lady Calypso April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 It's glorious to see The Flash's numbers drop. I mean, they're still the highest on the network, but they're now closing the gap a little. I only have further hope that they don't spike back up next week (I really dislike this season). I watched the second half of last night's episode (I was watching Roseanne at 8pm) and yeah, I'm really glad the show's dropped from my Must Watch Live list. I'm hoping I can drop it completely next season, so hopefully they don't drag me back in with some actual positive news for next season. I'd rather stay gone from the show. 2 Link to comment

The star only ever answers a question or two about the show, then tells personal anecdotes. Happened in season 3 when SA was on Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers too. As long as Flash was mentioned in the introduction and end of Grant's segment, that counts as promoting the show. Edited April 11, 2018 by lemotomato 4 Link to comment

JJ928 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 They could have at least played a flash clip, instead they played a clip of a cartoon mentioning Grant.

Yeah and that promo did have a "Ralph's ending episode" feel to it. In all honesty though I'm most interested in who the possibly Dawn girl is and what's going to happen to Marlize (who I honestly think is the most interesting new recurring character they've ever added on the Flash), sorry to admit that there's not much interest to me about any of the main characters (save for the Harry tease at the end), even though clearly the show wants me to be worried that Cisco might be leaving. 3 Link to comment
Cleanqueen April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 Yes I definitely thought Marlize was the highlight of last night's lackluster episode...and that scene of her and iris fighting looks pretty cool. I wonder where they'll take her character. 1 Link to comment
Swellcatt April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 (edited) I completely agree with the consensus on last night's Flash. Ralph is all over the place. One minute he's in and being a hero, next he's scared and doesn't care. Then he wants to be a constant comedian? I mean What? Also, I really HATE Barry this season. I feel like they are all having their male egos stomped on and it's making for a bad show. Though I will admit I laughed at the Ralph whoopie cushion. I know people have thoughts about Iris and I don't mind her, but I think that now that they are a couple it takes some of the fun out of it. I enjoy good tension and I like a love story. I felt for Marlize. Wow. When they started it was a week until the body gave out and she said it would take her 3 hours. Then at the end she said 1 hour. I mean, is this going on like every 10 minutes or something? Yikes! Also, Crucifer?! That cracked me up so much. Where does The Flash go from here? Edited April 11, 2018 by Swellcatt Crucifer is hilarious. Had to add Link to comment

The struggle is knowing which show they’re actually filming on a given day. But if they could have a fellow Arrowverse star permanently cross over, it might make things easier. For Lotz, the choice would be Iris West, simply because she and Candice Patton are good friends. Routh voted to have Emily Bett Rickards – who plays Felicity Smoak on Arrow – join the team.

Posted by Dan Wickline April 11, 2018https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/04/11/legends-tomorrow-influenced-guardians/ Quote The embraced insanity was on display Monday night in the Legends season finale that featured a warrior of pure light taking the form of the talking stuffed animal, Beebo. In a scene that was half Captain Planet and half Ghostbusters, the 20-plus foot tall Beebo went toe-to-toe with the winged time demon named Mallus in a epic battle that ended with a heart-shaped puff of blue fur and stuffing. It was arguably the best use of a CGI budget I’ve ever seen on television. A clip of the battle was posted to social media by Ash Crossan, host of ET Now. Guardians director James Gunn replied to the post, calling the scene “amazing.” That was replied to by Legends executive producer Marc Guggenheim, who told Gunn that they “invoke Guardians in the writer’s room A LOT.” That pretty much means that Legends of Tomorrow is indeed influenced by Guardians of the Galaxy… which works out well for the fans.

According to blackfilm.com, the Netflix superhero series’ sophomore outing will feature six episodes directed by women — almost half of its 13-episode season. This marks quite the improvement from Season 1, which was helmed entirely by men. Lucy Liu directed the second season premiere. She’s previously directed episodes of CBS’ Sherlock Holmes-inspired procedural “Elementary,” on which she also stars, and an ep of “Graceland.” Liu also co-directed the feature “Meena.” “Luke Cage’s” other female directors are Kasi Lemmons (“Eve’s Bayou,” “Shots Fired”), Salli Richardson-Whitfield (“Queen Sugar,” “Scandal”), Neema Barnette (“Being Mary Jane,” “Queen Sugar”), Millicent Shelton (“Runaways,” “Black-ish”), and Steph Green (“You’re the Worst,” “The Americans”). * * * The character of Luke Cage appeared in Season 1 of “Jessica Jones” as a series regular. “Jessica Jones’” entirely women-helmed second season, which bowed in March, may have at least partially inspired “Luke Cage’s” sharp increase in female directors. Neasa Hardiman (“Happy Valley”), Anna Foerster (“Outlander”), Zetna Fuentes (“How to Get Away with Murder”), and Shelton are among “Jessica Jones’” Season 2 helmers. Season 2 of “Luke Cage” hits Netflix June 22. Edited April 11, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment
ruby24 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 That's what The Flash gets for taking another four week hiatus. And Grant did give a terrible interview on Conan, I don't even know why he was there. I agree, it looked like somebody dragged him, he was totally unenthusiastic about anything he was saying. I've heard he's reclusive (like Tom Welling was when he was on Smallville), but I think he's gotten worse since the show started. I wonder if it'll go back up any over the next six episodes. 2 Link to comment

I just took a glance at his Twitter and he really went on a rampage. I know Caity Lotz had her problematic stuff a few days ago at Clexacon, but it didn't affect how I saw her character (and she wasn't rude to people when they called her out) and I still like her after all of that. Franz...yikes. He has his opinion and honestly, if he had only left it at that one tweet, I might have been able to step aside and try to see this "scientific" side that he talks about.

tv echo April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 (edited) John Diggle Is Getting An Arrow-verse Crossover Soon, Here's What David Ramsey Told Us BY LAURA HURLEY April 11, 2018https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2401641/john-diggle-is-getting-an-arrow-verse-crossover-soon-heres-what-david-ramsey-told-us Quote "I'm doing a cameo on a bit of a small crossover. John Diggle will be on Flash in the next few weeks. When I was over there, one of the A.D.s said, 'How you doing?' And I said, 'Well, I'm doing great. I'm on a hit TV show crossing over on another hit TV show, and I'm just enjoying [the Arrow-verse] because it will never ever happen again.'" Arrow-verse fans can look forward to seeing David Ramsey as John Diggle on The Flash in the not-too-distant future. Ramsey also revealed that he'll drop by Arrow's sister show in his new capacity as an A.R.G.U.S. agent. Digg turned to A.R.G.U.S. after leaving Team Arrow, and he'll work with wife Lyla at the government agency for at least the foreseeable future. This won't be the first time Diggle travels to The Flash on A.R.G.U.S. business, as he joined Lyla for a trip to Central City back in Season 2 of The Flash to help Barry Allen and Co. deal with King Shark. * * * Now, Arrow fans who are concerned about David Ramsey's comment that something like a cameo crossover "will never happen again" don't need to worry that something bad will happen to Diggle sooner rather than later. Rather, he was reflecting on how truly remarkable the Arrow-verse has become over the years. Who could have guessed when Arrow debuted back in 2012 that it would ultimately spawn a small empire of superhero series for The CW? Without Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow never would have happened, and The CW may not have seemed like a perfect fit for Supergirl if the other superhero shows weren't already airing successfully. Even Black Lightning may have Arrow's superhero success to thank for making it onto the airwaves, although Black Lightning isn't currently in the Arrow-verse. Arrow was proof that a new kind of superhero show could work on primetime. * * *We can't say at this point when exactly David Ramsey will cross over to The Flash for his cameo, but you can find him in new episodes of Arrow on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW....

BkWurm1 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 Just watched The Flash. Sigh. That episode/show was so frustrating. Ignoring the Dibney in the room, I was so struck by how all the women were so incredibly and unrealistically passive or being forced to be passive. Iris again is only there to be exposition and to softly suggest the answer to Barry once he's finally ready to hear it. Caitlyn apparently does all the work trying to diagnose Breacher and had the answers but just waits around watching Cisco be stupid and basically is complicit in almost getting Breacher killed since she let him believe the really damaging lie Cisco initially told him about being cured. Of course, then there is Marlize that is getting mind wiped regularly and being held prisoner not to mention the dead woman whose body will be discarded in about a week once Devoe uses it up. The only non-passive woman is the jewel thief but she's a complete caricature, no human emotions, just all about getting the sparklies no matter the cost and she's easily beaten by RALPH!! It's a joke to pretend the Flash writers or producers have any respect for their female characters. They are really just props. Sigh. 8 Link to comment

The 317 thread was a total Ray hatefest. I think 319 was really the first time a lot of posters enjoyed him, and that was because the writers finally did what they should have done from the beginning, which was let him be the comic relief to grumpy pants Oliver. 5 Link to comment
