My story is pretty simple. My whole life I have been running. Usually from bullies. Sometimes I escaped. Sometimes I did not. But after that night, I was running from something much scarier. Something I could never explain. Something impossible. - Barry Allen

Thanks for the thread! I'll come back to talk about the 3 episodes I have seen!

! I am looking forward to hear your thoughts!

Re-watching the pilot episode made me fall in love with the show all over again.

Barry's monologue in the beginning was adorable.

From the start, we see this incredibly playful side to Barry. I love how they set the tone for the episode and the rest of the season (basically the entire show). Barry's personality shined from the start! Caitlin and Cisco was there the moment Barry woke up. They make a great duo! The reunion with Iris.

The Barry/Caitlin scenes were adorable. Barry commenting on how Caitlin never smiles and her story about her fiance.

Cisco's excitement for Barry to see the suit he made him is cute. I love Cisco SO MUCH. Harrison Wells. Since I know we have people just getting into the show I'll put this in spoiler tags.

Spoiler:

Eddie! I love how everyone calls him the pretty boy.

And Barry's face to Iris's comment that he is indeed pretty.

Barry is obviously jealous! Oliver Queen and Barry moment on the rooftop was the best.

Season 1 has come and gone in a flash, indeed!

I've seen the first three episodes.

I love Grant as Barry and the relationships he has with his dad, foster family and colleagues. I'm not quite sure how good or bad Dr. Wells is. I'm quite confused about his glimpses into the future and about how he knows Barry is going to be known as The Flash. I'm also confused about the meeting with the arrow guy (The Green Arrow?). I haven't seen any other DC Comics stuff so maybe I am missing some information or maybe things will be revealed as the show goes on.

I love the humour of the show and the way Barry thinks going fast is cool.

Yeah that is the issue with cross-over episodes, characters that cross to other shows. That is Oliver Queen and his show is also on The CW. As for Dr. Wells, you will know all about him by the end of the season.
