I love Octavia Spencer- LMAO, the name on her coffee.

Generally an excellent pilot- I'm just scared because it's almost impossible all the kids will live and I already want them to.

Very enjoyable on the whole- I do appreciate that Barry actually WANTS his powers, rather than melting into an eternal existential crisis. He's still kind of overly "golly gee wow" though, so Jesse L. Martin adds a much-needed maturity to the show. The actress playing Iris is a little green, but the character is likable. It puts Barry's "NO REALLY, YOU LIKE YOUR FRIEND AS MORE THAN A FRIEND" to Felicity in context. GG also has chemistry with Danielle Panabaker though, so we'll see how that goes. I don't trust Tom Cavanagh AT ALL. Also, hi Dawson's dad. I liked Stephen's cameo, too.
