Here we go! Been looking forward to this for months, it's the only show I watch that's on broadcast TV. Read a couple of early reviews and both were positive. I think Edge is on tonight's episode?

When S1 ended I thought "Damn, October? That's a long wait after everything else starts."
Turns out it really wasn't. 2 or 3 weeks, maybe?
And yeah I do believe Edge (as Atom Smasher!) is in the 1st episode. And it seems like it being Edge has been treated like a big deal in the commercials, which is nice.

It was like that for me with Arrow, until the 1st season of Flash came out around the 3rd season of Arrow. Not saying the latter's season was bad, but a noticeable downgrade from its previous seasons, while Flash's 1st season by itself was amazing. Good timing, perhaps? But yeah, I've been dying for S2 to premiere ever since the S1 finale. I'm so stoked. |

Haven't had the time, but it seems like the CW is becoming the comic book channel. I'm definitely going to check out Legends of Tomorrow. |

It felt like they were building to something big, but just didn't know where to take it. Meanwhile, season 1 of The Flash was by far my favorite season of any show that I've ever seen. It nailed everything it tried to do perfectly and was flat-out a fun show to watch. I can't wait for tonight. |

Awesome season premiere. Edge did a great job as Atom Smasher, and the main plot with Barry's dilemma brought the feels (as is common for this show, but still). {Spoiler}"I need you to tell me it's ok."  |

Awesome, awesome premiere. {Spoiler}Atom Smasher was cool, Wells' confession shocked me, and that was such a feel-good moment when Henry was finally home, despite the fact he wanted Barry to move on and focus on being a hero. Even the little hint of Zoom was cool, it makes him sound like such a threat right off the bat. And then just when you think it's over, boom, Jay Garrick!
And that's just the first episode. They still have to introduce Patty Spivot, Wally West, and Jesse Quick. Not to mention Zoom. Off to a great start. |

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I was surprised Atom Smasher was a villain, and one of Zoom's goons. He's a hero in the comics.
Then again, the Berlanti DCTVU plays around with those roles, with Caitlin Snow (Killer Frost) and, if the previews are anything to go by, Winslow Schott (Toyman) playing key support roles for the good guys instead of villains. And Helena Bertinelli (Huntress) being an anti-hero turned villain in the first season of Arrow. |

I thought it was a good episiode. I think Atom Smasher went down to easily. But the scenes with Barry and his Dad were perfect and the ending was such a great way to set up the rest of the season.

So great to see the show back. {Spoiler}Barry's dad has to be sick, and that's why he left. There's no way they'd just have him leave like that if there wasn't more to it. |

Did anyone else think that.... {Spoiler} the overload of radiation was going to cause another Nightmare Fuel scenario ala Bane in B:TAS? Speaking of which.... {Spoiler} Cisco gets the Flash-Signal idea from a comic book. Which means that FINALLY, we have a DC other-media universe where Batman doesn't exist and thus cannot monopolize!!!! And... {Spoiler} as a Firestorm fan, sad to see Ronnie's apparent death. We didn't see a body or see him die, however, so....  ? Apparently they're going to replace him with an obscure character from the Firestorm series...still it seems like us FS fans never get the Firestorm we expect when it's announced that he's going to get his own series/have a major appearance/etc. Wonder if Caitlin resenting the attempts to replace Ronnie will lead to her inevitable transformation? |

For the benefit of those with Flash photography...
Really good premiere. I hope we see Atom Smasher again.
