Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Iris asks Flash his real name, he replies, 'You mean, like Ralph?'. This is a nod to a scene in Superman (1978) when Lois first meets Superman. She asks if he has a first name. Superman replies, 'You mean, like Ralph, or something?'
- GoofsWhen Detective Joe West and three SWAT members try to arrest Bivolo in the storage facility, West orders one SWAT member to handcuff Bivolo. He starts to move towards Bivolo and is shown doing so when the camera angle changes. After the angle change, to show West, the SWAT member whom we saw move towards Bivolo is still standing next to West, where he was before he started to move.
- Quotes
Felicity Smoak: How'd it go with Oliver?
Barry Allen: You know, to be honest, not exactly the partnership I thought it would be.
Felicity Smoak: Oh, did he really do the thing with the arrows?
Barry Allen: [exasperated] You knew he was gonna shoot me?
Felicity Smoak: Well, it is practically impossible to tell when Oliver's making a joke.
- Crazy creditsThe Flash logo has an arrow going through it and it snaps shut with a green bolt of lightning. This is a reference to the crossover with Arrow.

I fear the same is in store for the introduction of the Reverse Flash. Geoff Johns is one of the screenwriters and we are getting his ret-con version of the Flash's origin, working in the death of his mother. Other than the pilot where Grodd's sign is hanging on a cage, there is no hint of his appearance. Grodd, Reverse Flash and other villains are staples of the Flash stories. The key here is to develop new fans, without losing the old fans and Geoff Johns is nearing leaving real fans behind. Flash's costume sucks. One cool thing in the comics was his costume coming out of his ring. Here there is no explanation where his costume is, etc.
Johns also fails to recognize that the Flash is NOT a detective, even as Barry Allen he is a police scientist. The intro of Captain Boomerang is like a detective story. The Flash is a balls out confronter of bad guys; action is the essence of this superhero, not ruminating about who this bad guy is and why he is acting this. The Flash is not Jungian, he is Schwarzeneggerian. HE IS ACTION!!
We will see with Grodd and the Reverse Flash whether they can focus on titanic stuggles and leave the psychoanalysis to the professionals.
