Haven't watched yet. I'm doing a crash binge off my Lost Girl season 4 box set, since Lost Girl just started again. Loads of new shows turning up all at once kind of caught me by surprise!

Definitely plan to soon, though.

It was funny to see someone other than Cisco giving the weekly meta-human their nickname

Well given that the Multiverse will feature in this season it's possible that this "heel" Atom-Smasher is from another Earth

On a serious note.


In the comics Earth 3 is where all the heroes on Earth 1-2/Most others are villians and the villians there are good.

Example
Flash is Johnny Quick.
Superman is Ultra Man.
Batman is Owlman (And not Bruce but his brother Thomas Jr)
Green Lanturn is Power Ring


Joker is Jokester.
Riddler is Quizmaster

Not going to list all but that's the idea.

Suppose some could be from Earth 3.

Maybe we will get Good Barry vs Evil Barry

It was a good start to the series with a nice tie up for the ending on season 1

They seem to be introducing a huge number of new characters. Can they really sustain that many?

Also, this new throw lightning power isn't something I remember from the comics. Sounds like it would make him a bit hard to beat if he can throw lightning bolts at people whenever he wants! How exactly running fast can generate lightning I'm not sure of either but, I suppose questionable science is kind of this show's thing

I must say that diagram of multiple Earths to explain the parallel universe theory was inspired

they may be coming in just to be killed off ... although I suppose with the multiverse and time travel thing no one will really stay dead

im not too fussed about that power itll probably be just a magiffun to beat that particular metahuman (like when flash had to phase shift) haven't seen him do it since

Actually, the phase shifting is a power I do remember from the comics!

I wonder if the Killer Frost we saw momentarily at the end of last season will turn out to be "our" Caitlin Snow or one from another universe?

They are really ramping up the comic-friendly stuff. I punched the air when they recreated the cover of Flash #123.

Just looked it up, cool

I barely remember reading a comic with a version of the Flash in a winged helmet some 30 odd years ago. Remembering the covers of specific issues is pretty hard core geek points, I reckon

Loved Cisco's remark about the Green Arrow
"hate when they put a colour in their name "

By the way, in case you missed it, that was irony there. I thought it was the most pointless diagram in the history of pointless diagrams. It didn't explain anything

I also liked that there are 52 breaches.

52 is the number of parallel universes in current DC Comics continuity.

For comic book fans, it's a very famous cover.

If you want a more accessible frame of reference, it's the comic that Sheldon lost to Howard in the 'Big Bang Theory' episode where they had a bet about the type of cricket in the apartment.

I've never watched the Big Bang Theory but I guessed it must have been an iconic issue!

Does jay remind anyone of Captain America, just in the way he speaks, or was that just me

Probably deliberate. In the comics, Jay Garrick was originally a Golden Age character, from the 1940s.
