It would be awkward if they continued treating him like they did in season 1.

Also, we're one step closer to getting a full Justice League in the Arrowverse.

So why couldn't they just bring Brandon Routh back? This guy looks like someone you'd find in a Superman porno.

Just finished episode 3 of Arrow. Damn, Chyna White, Deadshot and Constantine Drakon in the first 3 episodes? That's crazy. I wonder who is next (DON'T TELL ME! I think I saw Brick's name on the hit list though.)

Ah, OK. You're around the halfway point of season one, which is when the show starts getting really good, IMO. Season two is great, but upon a reviewing season three is a mixed bag. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, but it can get overly melodramatic with some of its subplots, though. Season four is a return to form, though, and the second half has some of the best episodes in the entire series so far, IMO.

Damn, got to get used to how long network tv seasons are.

The first half of season 3 is really good, at least. The back half is when it gets really repetitive. They thankfully got around that in season 4, but the haters still went ballistic over it.

This is one of the better/funnier videos that they've made n a while: http://youtu.be/WvUXbzxxdo0

Pretty slow premiere, all things considered. A lot in the new timeline went unexplained (Where was Wells? He didn't die. What was the deal with Joe? And Cory's journalism teacher was the new police chief! Cool!) and the ending of the episode meant it didn't really amount to much, but the set up to the season is intriguing. A non-speed based villain for a season would be a nice change.

Slow? I think the fact that you have so many unanswered questions about the premiere indicates the opposite. I actually feel that they rushed (no pun intended) through this version of Flashpoint a bit too fast, personally. We could have easily spent another episode or two having Barry deal with the consequences of his actions in this arc.

That said, this episode did set up some interesting stuff for the rest of this arc.

Well, I liked this episode and I hope we get to see more of this growing team Oliver is forming. I just hope the killing issue doesn't come up again since it was pretty definitively answered in the finale of season 4. Also, since it's the last season for the flashbacks, this one better lead up to something big.

I'm glad the Rival showed up in the Flash, but I'm equally glad that he's not the main villain of season 3. A third speedster villain would have gotten old, considering how much the back half of season 2 had the same repetitive issues as Arrow season 3.

As for Supergirl, it was a bit hard to notice in-show that it moved from CBS to the CW. With Superman guesting, I'm guessing they're going to eventually set up a Justice League scenario down the road.
