I thought the flash crossovers were in season three
but I've just seen Barry Allen
00:47
that's the backdoor pilot
IIRC, originally it was just supposed to be a cool barry allen cameo, but they decided to make a full-fledged Flash show and use those two episodes to kick it off
he's not the Flash yet in those episodes

Q: What order should I watch Flash and Arrow TV Shows?

PureferretThe two TV Shows Arrow and The Flash cross over (or so I'm told). I've only been watching Arrow so far, and Barry Allen has just turned up. Do I need to start watching flash episodes? What order do I need watch these shows in?

Ahh
Barry, don't sort out chemicals on a shelf in a lightning storm. You know where that leads
01:29
@MichaelEdenfield the whole 'Backdoor Pilot' thing worried me
nodnod.
I think I remember it not initially intending to be a pilot.
that it was initially a 3-episode arc w/ Barry.
but they changed their mind early in the filming of S2
@MichaelEdenfield The Flash actor is good though
yeah, i like him.
01:50
Sometimes I wait for him to break out into song.
Mrs. 42 was impressed by his voice during the karaoke date bit. I reminded her of his time on Glee. It all made sense.
02:08
I missed the first 2 minutes of AoS.
Not exactly sure how Coulson was involved in the AoU incident.
02:32
@JackBNimble They reveal that Project Theta was the Helicarrier restoration.
@MichaelEdenfield @Pureferret Originally, they were going to introduce Barry, and have the accident occur. Then later in the season have a proper backdoor pilot. The suits liked what they'd seen of the work on the show, and scrapped the backdoor pilot.
said backdoor pilot has remnants in the S2 Arrow episode that has Caitlin and Cisco. It's why that episode feels off, it had been gutted of a plot.
OOOOHHHHHHH, the word Inhuman is now canon. \o\
03:10
On my second watching I definitely feel like Vision and the last Ultron disappear in a flash of light, rather than Vision killing him.
So Ultron is off somewhere with that super damaged body.

Re: Joss Whedon leaving Twitter: buzzfeed.com/adambvary/…
I can't recall if that discussion was in this room, or the main one...
i find it kinda hilarious that they got Caty Lotz to re-shoot all the scenes with Sara from S1 so they should re-flashback to them in S2.
fun fact: the dialog in the two scenes is word-for-word identical. netflix' closed captioning is not.
17:20
I guess I have that to look forward to this summer as I watch Arrow
you're still on S1?
I've completed 2 episodes
ah.
I'm still trying to figure out this part: if no one knew Sara was on the boat with Oliver except the other people on the boat, how did her family know she died?
She disappeared right around the time Oliver & Company's boat went down. And since she knew Oliver, I think it might be inferred.
I'll have to go back and watch the pilot.
but when they re-did that scene for S2 she's on the phone with her dad and acts like she's supposedly away at college
she says stuff like "College is great, I love my new roommate, I gotta go to chem lab."
17:36
@MichaelEdenfield I figure that at a certain point, they'd figure out she wasn't at college, which was why she wasn't responding to emails or phone calls. Then it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together.
i guess.
but AFAIK there hadn't even been the slightest indication that Sara was hooking up with Oliver at that point?
it's not like Laurel had caught them sneaking around, then they both disappeared around the same time
@MichaelEdenfield nope
and there hasn't been any indication so far that they spent months/years looking for Sara before decided she'd died with Oliver; it sounds like Quentin immediately shifted into "i hate oliver queen" mode?
I'm wondering if I missed some bit where the news reports listed her name, like maybe some official passenger list from the marina had it, or the coast guard heard it on the sos, or something like that.
i don't really wanna go back and watch all of S1 again :)
@MichaelEdenfield I don't think we have that much information on the post-crash events for the people in Starling.
apparently i have to wait until I get up to E13
17:57
@MichaelEdenfield Uh I don't think it's explicitly mentioned
someone says it's mentioned in S2, I just haven't gotten there in my re-watch
based on what I have seen, I think they reshot all those flashback scenes as an excuse to put Caty Lotz in soaking wet lingerie :\
@MichaelEdenfield I'm getting there with my first watching
18:17
Do we want a feed here that features related tags?
@Pureferret I don't think so.
@Keen cool
18:33
@Keen that largely matches up with his comments about why he joined twitter and took an earlier break (without deletion). he said he had originally joined to pimp out much ado and complained that it had practically become another job just keeping up
heh. amanda waller's code name when first see her is 'mockingbird'?
19:24
pfft. mysterious and infamous sniper / hired assassin tells you that he was hired to kill your brother by shadowy secret organization he only knows by the alias HIVE. You pick up your girlfriend's top-secret-government-agency phone to find out more about hive... from Bing.
if it's good enough for peter parker, it's good enough for john diggle.
why didn't they get a better actor to play stephen amell?
19:40
@MichaelEdenfield ....you don't like him?

Q: Why didn't they get a better old actress to play Jennifer Chastain in Interstellar?

LyleAt the end of Interstellar why did they expect us to believe that Jennifer Chastain would turn out as an ugly fat old lady, I imagine a skinny version of her.

@phantom42 Wow
I'm tempted to delete as I don't think we'll hit the auto delete limit anytime soon, but that should die
well, you know, Ellen Burstyn is well known for her terrible Jennifer Chastain act.
@MichaelEdenfield I wonder why she changed her name from Edna Rae Gillooly
20:19
Who wouldn't want to be a Gillooly
21:03
@MichaelEdenfield E12
21:25
nanda parbat must be like, the worst kept secret in the city if malcom merlyn just kinda 'found it'
21:53
No person should ever know too much about their own future. That means you Flash!
Also. When Wells left did he take Giddeon with him?
I dunno, weren't they in the gideon chamber when he called them?
They were in the chamber, but the suit and other stuff was missing. However, the surveliance stuff was all running.
Whether that was separate from Giddeon or not, who knows/
However, it seems like if he left it, they should immediate start using the super smart AI from the future.
unless they're afraid of it
I would be all over that.
Giddeon seems to have some magical tie to the future. Because he always says "The future remains unchanged."
Gideon, what's the trifecta at next week's Kentucky Derby?
22:00
Gideon, what's the next app which will make $100,000,000 dollars?
Umm, I don't think there is a water crisis. I mean, it rained today...
@JackBNimble California has been overrun by giant water guzzling almonds
@Pureferret I, for one, welcome our new almond overlords.
reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/351yxe/… He all but confirmed he'll be on AoS (not really though).
22:36
@JackBNimble Yeah... not really though
22:50
that's the same platitude they always trot out. wish they'd just say 'no'.
2-hour season finale next week. Could be the perfect time to have all the Avengers cameo, just to get it out of the way.
That is... I guess the new Avengers?
Did Tony quit because all the problems were because of him?
23:31
yeah.
he figured he had reached the peak of his ability to screw things up by inventing a psychopathic world-dominating robot
it was all downhill from there
> Now I really want to see a She-Hulk movie starring Mark Ruffalo in drag.
