The big bad in season 2 is darker and more menacing. however the most intriguing part of it is multi-dimensional theme put forth in season 2. It actually brings each actor into a different light (including the actress who plays Iris West). If you enjoy sci-fi then season 2 is a must watch. Also, there are consequences to everything that happens in the finale of S1. Season 2 is all about those consequences.

Flash S2 was amazing. Arrow S4 was simply not that good - they tried bringing in too much Magic and they went WAY overboard with the OliCity storyline...just...ugh. I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be (like the Arrow reddit, which decided to change itself into the Daredevil reddit :lol: ), but it wasn't that great TBH.

Definitely watch Flash though and watch the others, like I did, if you want to stay up to date and simply love comic book related shows/movies/etc.

Hey guys I found some jerseys on Amazon for 30/40 bucks but it got me wondering can Amazon sell fakes? I bought a Carmelo jersey a couple years ago for 40 and its legit but at that time all nba jerseys were on sale on the site this time it's just a couple sellers selling them.

Also does anyone know where I can buy a throwback porzingis jersey? You know the white one we wore a couple times this year.

I'm legit over Arrow and their overuse of Felicity.

If Flash continues to subtitute crossovers for good story telling, I'll be over them soon enough as well.

If you don't absolutely love Flash S1, and I did, you're going to hate S2. I'm hanging in there to see where they go for S3 because the writers have shown how great the show can be. They have to tighten things up though.

I've never gotten into Arrow. They made him into a ripoff of Batman it looks to me. Legends got real boring, real fast. I'll check out the Justice Society eps with hope, though. Supergirl is trash.

Agents of Shield is pure garbage now, to the point that the MCU has abandoned them as canon.

The Marvel Netflix shows is where it's at. They're great. I only wish they would crossover more with the MCU outside of dialogue.

To make a long post longer, and to answer your question, of course you should check out Flash S2. You may have a completely different opinion than anyone else who's seen it. I'm a big believer in checking things out for yourself. There's certainly lots of entertaining things in it, so even if you ultimately don't like it, it still won't be a waste of time.

it is similar to season 1 but it is darker and you see a more determined Barry. Since season 2 of the flash probably won't come on netflix for another month I suggest you watch Flashpoint Paradox on netflix, its only 80 minutes long. after that watch young justice, best animated superhero cartoon series ever.

I admit season 3 of Arrow was my least favorite of all the arrow seasons but I really enjoyed the flashbacks that season. I really felt those scenes gave Oliver's character life.

and don't worry about people saying season 4 of Arrow was trash, judge it for yourself. I don't understand why people hated season 4 so much, sure Oliver and Felicity drama was a lot this season but they did so many things right and had so many memorable episodes.

Spoiler:
- Bringing in Constantine and ressurecting Sara
- Standing up to terrorism
- Diggle's brother helping save Dig's wife
- Roy Harper's return
- Oliver betraying Malcolm and cutting of his hand
- Curtis Holt(aka Mister Terrific) shared emotional moments with felicity and his humor and lightheartedness was a breath of fresh air from the typical dark and brooding characters in this show
-Laurel's death and the episode after were really good
- That 24 like episode where Felicity sends the missiles away from a major city but still ends up killing 20,000 people

I know the flashbacks sucked but season 4 was so much better than season 3 IMO.

please responds with the spoiler tag if you want to talk about season 4

Thanks. I just started Season 4 of Arrow. Already don't like the abundance of Olicity. I also think that having Thea and Laurel as part of Team Arrow takes away their individuality as characters - as well as some of the greatness of the original trio - but it's just the 1st episode so I'll see how that plays out. Roy was Arrow's sidekick and he didn't have much depth to him.

Season 3 was definitely the weakest one. Did not like the last few episodes...was a mediocre ending to what was a promising storyline. A disappointment after the great finales to S1 and S2.

Yes, I will be checking out S2. I don't think I'll be able to help myself anyway :D

I consider the 2nd half of Arrow S1 and the entirety of S2 to be the best stretch of a superhero-themed show in television history. No offense to Daredevil.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Arrow were great, while season 3 mostly sucked, and season 4 was okay.

@br7knicks and the rivalry with Hakkinen ! And now you always follow F1 ?



that whole, ferrari versus mclaren-mercedes, was one of the best rivalries in all of sports. people all say duke-unc, or yankees-red sox. but ferrari and mclaren-mercedes went at it for many years. was not much of a kimi fan, but i did like alonso and Massa. i had high hopes for villenueve when he was younger, a shame he couldn't get it together.


my dad was a HUGE Senna fan before he passed away. i watched Senna with him when it came out.

Yeah but now Mclaren is in difficulties ... hakkinen and after raikkonen were my favourites drivers but now since 2007 it's Hamilton ( mclaren mercedes drivers too but now only mercedes). I hope he'll win this fourth title this year and I hope more fight with vettel and red bull (or why not mclaren and alonso) next year !
