Spoiler for Hidden:
Oh yay, yet another woman character with uncontrollable rages. That's #5 by my count (Laurel, Helena, Hawkgirl, Sara, Thea) and I could very easily be missing some since my memory stinks. You'd think at some point someone would call foul.

Spoiler for Hidden:
As opposed to Oliver, Roy, Slade, Merlyn, Darhk, Zoom, Tokamak, etc...  In the CW verse people with anger management issues are the norm.  It's the people with self control who are considered strange.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Well of those you had 2 caused by drugs, one caused by new overwhelming power, and 3 who are just villains, not really out of control with rage. That just leaves Oliver, who reacts to everything in a ridiculous way. And of course Lazarus pit is pretty much the equivalent of the guys' drugs so that's two of mine. But yeah your point's well taken that these writers really can't do natural human reactions to things. The complete lack of creativity just struck me especially this week since Hawkgirl's rage comes out of nowhere and they're already using that subplot for Sara.

Cold: "This isn't my first Prison Break."
Really? ???

€dit:
Nice to see that Heatwave got some screen time and character development.
Spoiler for Hidden:
Not to forget Atom smack talking to the torturer.

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?
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Maybe he's not counting people he was through working with, but yeah.

Well, iirc the guy stated he was out... and pointed a gun at Snart (I'm not just imagining that, right?)

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?

Because only buildings are worth a bomb?

I was referring to the hitting the top floor aspect of the bombs rather than the fact that they were using them on buildings. Seeing as we already have much better bombs than that it struck me as odd for 2167.

I'll go out on a limp and say, it's because just rubble would be a lousy background.
Burned out sky-scrapers look way more impressive.

The best way to take down a building is to drop a bomb on the roof which starts a timer.  As the bomb falls through the building, the timer expires and the bomb goes off.  Bye, Bye, building.

Because in 2167 the 1% all live on the top floor of buildings.  Lower floors and the ground are for the peasantry.  Savage still wants slaves.  He just wants to eliminate those who think they can resist him.

I think there was too much going on in that episode.  It would have been nicer to have had a little more time (two-parter) to develop things.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Did they even name Grant Wilson's character?  Was he supposed to be Ravager or Deathstroke II? I don't think he had powers like Slade.  Why did he attack Central City in the first place?  How is he keeping control when something like the National Guard would be called in.  What's going on with the rest of the country?

I love Heat Wave.  I think he's right to be upset with Snart; Snart's changing the game plan.  I'm a little unclear why Snart is trying to stop Savage.  Nice moment with Ray and Rory at the end.

John Diggle Jr. as Connor was a nice touch.

The subplot with Firestorm, Ray and Kendra was predictable.

I prefer my crazy one-armed future oliver to lose his arm to supes, and a bionic arm is cheating. Nice nod though.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Pity, I liked Heat Wave :'(
Spoiler for Hidden:
but then again... Episode 9 is titled "Left Behind", so maybe Mick is just stranded somewhere. Trapped in an ice block.
On a side note, Rip can't bluff for toffee :roll:

I'm hopeful that Mick is still alive. Ironically enough Heat Wave was one of Flash's Rogues Gallery who went straight in the 70s/80s.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Heat Wave is my favourite character on the show.  I hope he's not off the island.

He's also asking valid questions: why is Cold taking up the banner against Savage? 

For a Time "Master", Rip doesn't seem to look at the consequences of his actions.  Calling Heat Wave stupid and telling him he's a barnacle on Cold's ass isn't a good idea when you're locked in prison together.  I would think that a Time Master would be like a chess master with regards to real life events and consequences; thinking 15 moves ahead.

Frankly, Heat Wave is about the only character of the three (Rip, Snart, Rory) that is consistent and believable in his characterization.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep watching.
