Welcome back, Caity Lotz!
I still don't get why he is called the Atom if he doesn't shrink.Watch the video from this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MubNoWQiSc&t=210
I have to say, even just from those few short clips of her kicking and using the staff. You can tell the actress is so much better at the physical aspects of staged fighting than the actress that plays Laurel on Arrow
I am unsure how it will work with Stein on the show, but not Ronnie.
I'm curious about when exactly Sarah was put into the Lazarus pit. I hope they didn't dig her up after she'd been buried for 6 months... :(
So Rory is a time traveller again...
Yes, that is all I got from that trailer. I did not squee one bit, and you can't prove otherwise.
Watch the video from this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MubNoWQiSc&t=210
But then I caught myself wondering if that bit wasn't just reused footage from that cage match promo they did.It is... so, probably no Reverse Flash on LoT :(
Thawne didn't rewrite history, he just shifted events forwards. It seems like time is a little flexible and can absorb some adjustments and will stay on course.
He must have some sort of contact with the future though, maybe through Gideon.It remains to be seen how exactly Gideon works. It's possible that as a relic of the future, it changes with changes to the timeline based on the present. Somehow Thawne seems to be protected from this, or he exists regardless? When Barry lost his powers and there was no record of the Flash in the future newspaper, shouldn't Thawne have ceased to exist since the future timeline was altered?
Otherwise how he could he tell if his future was changed or not.

My guess: the room is somehow time-shielded, protecting Gideon's knowledge of the future and allowing her/it to project what future the current events would lead to.
We can't really do anything other than speculate at this point until we get more information. Hopefully the writers have thought all this through so that a repeat viewing of Season 1 will all make sense still.

Also, Shayera... I hope her personality will be close to the JLU version of Hawkgirl.

So, I didn't think Hawkman would be as big a part of LoT as the trailer seems to imply (that is, I didn't expect him there at all).
It's nice to see Ray's Atom suit working well as opposed to last year's "working out the bugs".
I hope Firestorm's comment is because he's going to do some matter manipulation in addition to just fireballs.
Between this and Agent Carter (on the Marvel side) we're gonna have some awesome comic geeky TV this winter. YES YES YES! Fangasm!
But this Hawkman still looks a bit silly. They'll never get a live action version to look as awesome cool as he does in the books, I guess. Love how the wings actually work now, though. The whole "fake wings" thing was always stupid. Sure, he can strap them on, but once on they should "meld" with his body and work like actual wings. Wonder if the new TV version will be just a guy with weapons or if they'll add the powers the comic version seems to have gained over the past decade (Hawk-like senses and faster reflexes and a healing factor which was strong enough for him to return from "dead" and grow a new arm in the Stormwatch comic)
I thought the Hawkman they did in Smallville wasn't bad. I liked he had the same pissed off attitude as Batman.
He wasn't bad, but the chestplate looked about two sizes too big and the static wings looked silly. I mean big fake wings strapped to a guy's back are always going to look like big fake wings strapped to a guy's back, no matter what they do.
I like how they look to be working around that this time.
Although, I will give kudos to Smallville... Dr Fate, Stargirl and Booster Gold were all AWESOME!
At the end of the most-recent trailer, the date given is Thursday, January 21st. So, we'll have The Flash on Tuesday, Arrow on Wednesday, and Legends of Tomorrow[p/i] on Thursday. Add Gotham, Supergirl, and Agents of SHIELD into that, plus those that are streaming-only, and it's a great time to be a comic-book-hero fan.
And don't forget Agent Carter coming back!
The only other good super hero time was in the late 70's when you had the Hulk and Wonder Woman. Maybe the Spider-Man but that didn't last long.
And I wont count those Captain America travesties. Though I did get the DVD with both of them for like $3, just to have them.
The only other good one was the Doctor Strange TV movie/pilot and that didn't get a series.
Ever see the first Captain America movie? The one so bad it was dumped straight to home video and never in theaters?
It had a few decent moments, like right after he's thawed, some FBI (or CIA or whatever) agents are transporting him... in a Volkswagen, and he goes ape-$h!t bonkers on them thinking they're nazis... Ha Ha Ha!
[snip] Maybe the Spider-Man but that didn't last long.[/snip]
I remember that series, with Nicholas Hammond. As I recall it, they gave it a pretty good effort, and their hearts were in the right place as regards respecting the source material. But the special-effects technology wasn't nearly up to the task, yet. (For the curious, type the words "spiderman" and "hammond" into YouTube's search, and they have the hour-and-a-half-long pilot episode.)
And Superman again in the 90s, with Lois & Clark. It's too bad the 80s Flash didn't make it more than a season, though.

I love the heaping mounds of snark, sarcasm, and self-deprecation in these crossover episodes.
Somehow i got the idea that Flash and Green Arrow would be part of the team... must've been the trailer. :roll:
A misleading trailer - never happens.
I'm sure we will have a crossover soon.
DC may not know how to do movies well but they are knocking it out of the park with these series. (Flash, Legends)
Absolutely.
(sarcasm) Wouldn't it just suck if they were to use the TV show successes to launch their movies instead of keeping them separate? (/sarcasm)
Yep. Because the Flash film has nothing to do with the TV series.
Though I would like to see them expand the Multiverse and say all the versions of Batman, Superman, etc either from Smallville or films or Gotham, and the upcoming JLA film, are all part of it and exist.
You mean something like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MlgN9aD_po (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MlgN9aD_po)
Yep
I don't want to live in a multiverse where the green lantern movie is acknowledged.
When Chronos first showed up, I got confused and thought it was Death's Head.
Hey. That film is not that bad. It's bad, but not horrible.
Would have just been bad. Ryan Reynolds elevated it.
They can't get there time travel theories consistent.
In this Ror..er Rip says that it takes time for the changes in the past to catch up to the future, yet in the Flash when Eddie kills himself Thawne immediately fades from existence.
Also if Stein changed his past enough so he never met his wife and the ring disappeared, then how did he still remember? And then shouldn't he have also remembered meeting three people who stole his tracker and then visited a space ship in 1975?
I like what they are doing so far, but they need to be more consistent in their time travel stuff.
Ok, that last episode made no sense...Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoiler for Hidden:
I laughed.Really? ???Spoiler for Hidden:
So, Snart told Sara that he never killed one of his own guys... but isn't that exactly what he did when he was introduced in Flash?
Mmhmm.
Occurred to me watching the intro - why does savage's air force in 2167 only have bombs that hit the top floor of buildings?
Spoiler for Hidden:
Spoiler for Hidden:
I'd say, because he was told that he'll be a footnote in history and tries to change that by killing Savage.Spoiler for Hidden:

I'm thinking it's totally about the White Canary. Can't say I blame him either. :DI never got the impression he cared about being famous, just rich.
<shudder> 'We've located Savage on the small island of Kooey Kooey Kooey'.
i hope that no matter how bad this show gets it won't approach zany sitcom justice league terrible.
But, they would need a wacky landlord with a long-suffering wife.Booster Gold and Blue Beetle!
I found out what happens to Mick. His frozen body gets dumped from the ship into the ocean where he is saved by some Cambodian fishermen. It's 2003, and freezing has messed around with his brain. He has amnesia but somehow he now has a supermind and knows pretty much everything about everything.
At this point I'm starting to think that Rip Hunter is working for Vandal Savage.Spoiler for Hidden:
Flimsy excuse to visit the Old West. Hex really needs a crazy eye to go with the scarring.
Spoiler for Hidden:I can't be the only one enjoying this as a comedy/satire. There's gotta be some math to prove I'm not the only one.Spoiler for Hidden:
Regarding the sceneI wonder what inspired Ray to build a defenestrator for his suit. How many times did he think he'd need that? ;)Spoiler for Hidden:
Didn't even notice it, if those aren't fake...Not fake. Those screens are from hulu with the captions turned on.
For the record, my favourite of the monster cereals was always Boo Berry.
Is anyone else thinking that that was too easy?That they're playing right into Savage's hands?Spoiler for Hidden:
In one of the episodes, Hunter said he tried to do just that. Repeatedly and at successively earlier times.
You might've repressed it given that the way he talked about it it pretty much undermined the entire point of the series.
I don't know... it could be that the entire point all along has been that Rip is destined to be a disastrous failure, in which case they've been hammering it home quite successfully with each episode!
When Snart was tapping his ring, did anyone else notice that he was tapping in the rhythm of Zoom's theme music? Odd little detail, there.:o
Rip saving his family would've negated his reason to do so in the first place...
Sort of. We have already seen that people who change the timeline remember the original timeline. Now that the timeline isn't being manipulated I think by season end he will save his family but of course will have to leave them to save the world from the next great menace. Probably coming up with an alternate solution for the Thanagarians.
I'd have to take your word on the fact that Zoom has theme music, even...
Unless I missed something, it seems that not all of the supposed plot holes have been explained away.Spoiler for Hidden:
My theory is, that being at ground zero of a time-manipulating-computer's explosion mysteriously flings Cold back to when he came from... plus a few weeks/months :roll:
Maybe he'll even be in time to help save the world from Zoom and his cronies, thus showing the world his heel/face turn. And like in the comics he'll get a pardon for it.
I thought the same thing then I remembered what show I was watching
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the final resolution ends up being a Reset that makes it as if none of this stuff happened in the main timeline.
Could someone please tell me what happened after Rip saw his family in the Waverider... I seem to be missing a few minutes. :(
Best thing about the finale was Firestorm doing some transmutation.
