Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Wesley Shipp (Henry Allen) previously played Barry Allen / The Flash in The Flash (1990).
- GoofsCisco Ramon repeatedly uses the term "knots per hour" as a speed unit, which is wrong, because a knot (nautical mile per hour) is already a measure of speed.
- Quotes
Oliver Queen: So why come to me? Something tells me you didn't just run 600 miles to say "hi" to a friend.
Barry Allen: All my life, I've wanted to... just do more - be more - and now I am, and the first chance I get to help someone, I screw up. What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero. What if I'm some guy who was struck by lightning?
Oliver Queen: I don't think that bolt of lighting struck you, Barry. I think it chose you.
Barry Allen: I'm just not sure I'm like you, Oliver. I don't know if I can be some... vigilante.
Oliver Queen: You can be better, because you can inspire people in a way that I never could, watching over your city like a guardian angel... making a difference... saving people... in a flash. Take your own advice: Wear a mask.
[rappels to the next building]
Barry Allen: Cool.
Oliver Queen: [sees Barry runs off in a flash] Cool.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Flash: What's Past Is Prologue (2018)
Fortunately this was Arrow's loss and The Flash's gain. :) In the first episode there is some visual help to connect the two.
I scored this 10 because the Character is much easier to relate too, and a much more likable person. This has the feel good factor of Smallville, and a slight taste of the Arrow, though not the over kill and sometimes violent fight scenes. So will be more appealing to Men, Women and Families.
It is a real treat for all that this has made it pass its pilot stage.
