The Flash (1990) S01E01 - Pilot FULL REACTION

Will the other episodes be added later down the line, or will this be it? If she's not going to finish the show in this season of the Arrowverse, maybe she could react to it in the following season in the Arrowverse?

Luis Garcia

How come? I'd love to see her react to the show.

Stargirl will likely be added to the schedule due to it being part of the Arrowverse. She just has to get to that part in the timeline. Swamp Thing and the 2000-something BoP are not, although the former is part of the Titans/Doom Patrol verse and she has reacted to the first season of those, so it's possible that she could react to it as a one-off but I can't say for sure.

BTW... Like the hair... I see you with half light pink, half light blue. cotton candy hair... maybe that will be my next color combo.

This Isria is more self-absorbed for sure.

Shan, Barry's lab partner, Julio Mendez, was Captain Mendez during Flashpoint on the current The Flash show instead of Captain Singh. The cops that gave Barry a ride home, the younger cop that's driving is Officer Bellows. He's Mayor Bellows on the current The Flash show. Barry's brother was created just for this show, the writers named him Jay as an homage to Jay Garrick. When first developing this show, the original plan was to have an older Flash living in a future ruled by an oppressive totalitarian government. The actor playing his brother was going to be cast as this older Flash. He was going to reunite members of the Justice League, and their heirs, to fight for freedom.

No, it is a closed loop. Barry’s mother always dies

Still viewable for us, As of further notice the comment section for this episode is off limits for her. Not your fault at this point it's just Patreon being a dick :)

I think because Derek deleted his comment replies won't load in. I can't delete it but hopefully Shan can't see it either. And sorry, I've only been here for a month or so, so I wasn't aware how much she dislikes spoilers. Won't happen again

First time watcher :)

Shan, The story of Reverse-Flash killing Barry's mom wasn't written until 2009, 18 years after this show. Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash has been his archenemy since 1963. There just hadn't been anything about him killing Barry's mom. She was still alive. The Speed Force wasn't created in the comics until 1994, 3 years after this show (so no Speed Force lightning). Speedsters could run really fast, there just wasn't any Speed Force.

David Brown

@Sad Cat: I'll try this way because Patreon seems to not show the reply and I hope you read this. Yes the thing you commented about is deemed a spoiler. A friendly piece of advice, Whenever you are about to post something and have even the slightest thought that what you're about to post might be considered spoilery. Just don't post it. Shannan is very strict when it comes to spoilers and we do everything we are able to do to prevent her from getting spoiled. Please remove yours so she can read the comments again. Thank you :)

OMG. 90s Flash. Fun times.

Walter Alcaraz

What’s the plan for other DC shows? Stargirl, Swamp Thing, Birds of Prey?

I loved the 1990 Flash! Still the best live-action Flash suit to date, and one of my favorite live-action superhero costumes. The main reason the show only got 1 season was it was too expensive to produce($6 million for the 2 hour pilot, and $1.5 million per episode afterwards) which at the time was the most expensive tv series ever. The ratings were decent, but not enough to justify the production costs.

The design of Central City and the dark lighting of the 1990 Flash series was strongly influenced by the 1989 Batman movie and both had music by Danny Elfman. In 1990 DC comics, Wally West was the Flash with Tina McGee, Star Labs and Linda Park all part of the comics. I didn't like how Iris was written in this show, but at least her character appeared while Jay Garrick was represented by Barry's brother Jay and the mention of a Garrick street IIRC. This was one of my favorite shows the year it was on.

Tom Tattershall

Probably because of what happens before and in Elsewords? I hope that's not spoilery enough to be considered a spoiler

Sad Cat

To be clear the entirety of 90's Flash was not added to the schedule. This is the only episode on the season schedule.

Chris Peacock

I don’t believe it was established in dc comics at the time that Barry’s mother was killed by the reverse flash. At this time Barry was still dead after crisis on infinite earths and Wally west was the Flash.

First time watching it, it was fun hearing all the familiar names and I also liked how they did the flash effects of him doing superspeed :)

This was very typical of the early 90's TV shows, especially the hero type shows like another called M.A.N.T.I.S, very camp and took a lot of inspiration from the original Robocop.

Andrew Polinski

i watched this show back when it was airing. some really bad stuff in there, but also some really awesome elements.
