The Flash S6 |OT| Crisis on Infinite Ls
- Thread starter ZeroX
- Start date
I'm happy with the episode. Nobody did anything spectacularly dumb, Flash's new suit actually looks good, and they did get me absurdly excited with the Flash Gordon theme song.
I was kinda hoping we'd get Eddie jumping out of a black hole wearing Iris/Nora's jacket, but no dice. :(
Also, they already have a way of giving people powers and a cure for said powers. Meta powers can literally be given and taken away on a whim now already. Let the guy see if it cures cancer.

Probably, because two women sharing the same body raises some serious consent issues if you don't get both of them on board.
There's a solid chance Godspeed is just one of Monitor's pre-crisis homework assignments like Malefic over on Supergirl.
Why isn't Team Flash trying to decode the Godspeak?
At least record some of it and run it through your magical computers, rather than just going "Weird noises again! Oh well!"
Like, obviously they'll decode it at some point in the future for an end-of-episode stinger, but at least show that they're smart enough to at least make an effort now.

I've not kept up with any news regarding this season of Flash and don't watch Supergirl so I'm fairly clueless about what's happening other than the Crisis in December.
Remember when Mohinder turned himself a superhuman but became a body horror monster?
In fairness handing someone the ability to potentially give random people superpowers seems like it'd have a moderate chance of working out badly.
I think I'd prefer them not to have made the effort this episode. If this is the fourth time they've done this, they should have tried translating after the first or second time.
I say that being fully aware that there's a high chance that in a future episode they will present the idea of attempting translation as a totally new idea.
Yeah. Four Godspeeds in, just have Cisco off-handedly say "Well, at least we have some more modem-speak to feed into the computer, let's see if more data will make a difference" or whatever. Just an acknowledgement that yes, they have thought of the obvious solution.
I missed it - did the Monitor destroy Gideon, or just the plinth?
When Flash does it that approach, it always feel like they're trying too hard. Except for Cecile sometimes, she's always a delight.
It's bizarre, because presumably that building doesn't have a huge hole in it in real life.
Did they save over the unedited shot of the building, and then the building was demolished?
Huh, you're right, it's entirely CG.
I guess they saved over the original, un-damaged version of the model, then.
Remember that getting super powers in the Arrowverse means there's a 90% chance you'll go full on villain.
Decent to good start. Thankfully they didn't drag out either the Iris keeping secrets/feelings to herself stuff and have that shit span half a season or the Killer Frost/Kaitlyn stuff and have that drag out as well like they usually would have. Hopefully they're learning and it's not just a product of Crisis being the main season stuff and rushing through the first half.
The black hole effects made no sense though. Things are being dragged on the floor instead of towards the event. Things close to it aren't effected, but stuff far away are etc. Same problem with the Supergirl ep where J'onn isn't being affected by the portal at all, but get tripped and immediately suck up into it? Uh, I guess.
Flash Gordon music was the highlight of the ep. Also, Cisco (and hopefully Barry or else it makes no sense) building a whole new suit in less than a minute and a black hole killer (Stellar Grenade) in two minutes. Plot tech gonna plot tech.

Also, who the fuck is going to fix all those windows Barry broke?

Saving the budget for Crisis, no doubt.

Even if it's similar to S3's, the premise of Barry trying to cheat an inescapable death feels like it can be a great arc if they can properly map out the season. Ramamurthy's casting as the main villain already feels like a sizable step above Klein. Klein was good for the memes but that character was such a nothing-burger.
Totally agreed. Felt like The Flash at it's best.

The new showrunner would've loved to have done a fully Queen scored episode, but couldn't afford it lol
They're actually aware of that and addressed it (and more)!
Hmm, you know, earlier, I was never thinking it was Barry's definite death. You'd think that if it was a true sacrifice, and he died, then Iris' story (the one with her byline) would reflect that. It wouldn't just be "Flash vanishes..."
I figured the point was getting him back after he vanished.

Interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to next weeks episode.
I always assumed that Barrys disappearance was when he goes back in time with Thawne the night of Noras murder and that's why he never came back was because of the new timeline.

It's not like the past seasons had literally no good episodes lol
That's fair, it's just every time I tried to drop in again the episode I watched tended to be bad. Having them at least be 1 for 1 this season with an interesting premise for the second episode fills me with hope.
Imma be disappointed if none of the OTs use "Crisis of Infinite Noras".
Fine season premiere, found it funny that both Flash and Supergirl got new suits and had to deal with a meta/alien that created "black holes" and had to go inside of them.

Episode definitely seems an improvement over the previous seasons
however there are some really stupid moments like Caitlin forgetting that informed consent is a thing and would already solve the ethical implications of Rosso's cure for HLH

I...mostly liked that episode? Ramsey's actor is actually pretty decent compared to Chris Klein, though having him go evil pretty much immediately was odd.
Also, I'm like 90% sure that the Monitor we saw was this universe's Anti-Monitor. We already know LaMonica is playing both characters and every glimpse of regular Monitor we've seen so far has been passive, not outright malicious like this.

He had plenty of malicious moments during Elseworlds. The Monitor's always been an ambivalent jerk.
Him outright telling Barry "I destroyed your video of your daughter so you'd lose all hope" is a bit more outright malicious than "I'm doing this to test you idiots to make sure you're ready for what's coming".
But I guess in the grand scheme of things to the Monitor being a dick just comes naturally. Still, I think they're trying to hoodwink us. Especially considering Oliver wasn't with the Monitor this time and he didn't even mention him when those two are supposed to be traveling together before Crisis.
We don't know yet. We know he's involved in this season to SOME degree but it hasn't been elaborated on how/when he'll be back.
