That was fun, and I'd say it's pretty safe to say Snart has a thing for Sara. Sorry dude, you're hot her type.

It was alright and there's some potential, but I wonder if there just aren't too many moving parts.
Leonard Snart might be the best character in the Arrowverse and Wentworth Miller looks like he's having a blast.

Watching this now. I've never watched any CW Superhero shows before, but this isn't half bad. I agree that Freeze & Heatwave are the best parts.
But the hawk couple are dragging this show DOOOOWWWN for me. Firestorm isn't/aren't really helping things out either. The kid isn't the best actor.
If the show were Freeze, Heatwave, Canary, Rip, and Atom it would go a lot further for me.

Snart is the man
The Hawks are kinda lame and boring
White Canary is awesome, they should really bring her back to Arrow , she's so much better than Laurel

Man, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are not interesting in the slightest.
Thankfully the rest of the characters are great.
I still love how over the top Heat Wave is. Dominic Purcell really hams it up and it's just awesome.
A good start to the show.

I kinda wanted them to gay Snart up, just because I liked the idea of Snart developing a thing for Barry. That's probably more because Miller is gay irl and it'd be nice to see a gay actor playing a gay role that isn't just a raving stereotype or a man whore. This show was super fun. It's cheesy as hell, knows that it is cheesy as hell and embraces that and just runs with it. A proper comic book series.

The Hawks really bring the show down for me. The rest definitely has potential I think.

Was intrigued by the idea of this show, am utterly excited for it now. Unfortunately the CBS pres has gone on record to say that Supergirl won't be in the same universe Well of course HE'D say that. But it's the same producing team on all of them, and while I'm sure there won't be any official crossovers, it can "unofficially" be very much in the same universe. The shows are barred from Superman and Batman being even mentioned. Geoff Johns even said they can't use the Justice Society in case they want to use them in the films. This Universe isn't Extended, it's Detracted

For instance the producers said that Katana couldn't be in the show anymore because of the Suicide Squad movie, but guess who is coming back in a few episodes.

Saw it, pretty decent. I do like Firestorm so I must defend his presence, though Victor Garber carries that team (they resetted Jax being a coward, despite he proved he was a hero in The Flash). I stuck with New 52 FS, actually accepted Blank Slate FS and Elemental FS eventually...so I'll see how this works out too. I am just a big fan of Firestorm in general and will try to support anything with him. (Fan the flame! as FirestormFan.com would say)

I was in months ago.
This episode did nothing to regret that decision.
Fantastic.
Also: CHRONOS!!! And the name of the ship!!! Love it.

I'm all for yaoi overtones if they feel like they add to a show, but I don't want them to make Snart gay/bi just for shipper bait.

Johns even said they can't use the Justice Society in case they want to use them in the films. (a) Yet there's a Flash movie (with another actor) coming.... (b) the Justice Society thing is just weird, because the comics have essentially forbidden the concept of the Justice Society from ever existing again - unless this impending DC Rebirth undoes--*head explodes* (c) a media multiverse. TV and films (and cartoons and comics and etc) that eventually co-exist *and* interact....... I think it's going to happen. Bless them for it, but lordy loo the headaches they're creating in order to get there.

Solid show. Ya the Prison Break duo are the highlight, wouldn't mind seeing their sister Golden Glider added to the group. Ya not big on the Hawks. Only time I ever liked either was back in the funny Justice League days when Carter was used as the stick-up-his-butt straight man to all the hijinks around him. Being that they are so central to the story hopefully they find their niche.

Well yeah, that's why it would have to be played straight, so to speak. But as I said, it was less about the story and more about the representation; DC are far too in to the idea of the hot lesbian/bi woman played for tits and fantasy.

Wentworth Miller might be having more fun on this show than he did on The Flash. The dude is obviously having a blast.
We lost a character, but he was the weak link, and 2 episodes in even with a character's death the show is still fun.

I wonder if they'll replace the dead character in question.

Goodbye to maybe the most ineffective hero in the DCTVU. {Spoiler}When Carter jumped on Savage, my thought was "How are they jobbing Hawkman this week?"

The problem with Hawkman dying is that we're now supposed to believe the team wants to avenge him, but holy hell, he was not a charismatic presence.
The Hawkgirl/Hawkman stuff is easily the weakest part of the series, so hopefully, that's kept on the backburner for as long as possible.
