Maybe a better mix of his Rogue's and allies is in order? Having so many speedsters takes away from his originality. Nothing special about his powers when everyone and their mother has them too.

You mean Bat-Arrow or Green-Bat or whatever they're trying to do on that abortion of a Green Arrow show.

Maybe, I loved the Grodd episodes. I'm actually a little surprised CW is giving the show the budget for some of the effects they've had, but I would like to see another "gathering" of the Rogues especially since we've seen so many now.

Maybe 3-4 seasons is its limit so. Same for Arrow although I have enjoyed this season more than the previous two.

I read that next season's big bad will not be a speedster.

That'll be great as long as I can make it until next season and it isn't the return Captain Cold.

While Arrow has been pretty bad lately, I still love Legends and Flash. Arrow seasons 1-2 were incredible but the new cast this season is just terrrible.

Flash is great, even the musical episode worked.

I wasn't crazy about the new cast either but they have gotten better the last several episodes... Now that Mr. Terrific has his T balls his character seems to fit in better with the series. The last few episodes with the new Canary is way better then Laurel ever was, although it takes a bit to get used to the black hair since Black Canary has always been blonde.

The best thing about season 5 is the more darker overtones.


As far as The Flash goes, I think the writers screwed up by making to many speedsters in the series followed by an annoying typical girlfriend story. The whole GF thing should just be a side note with Iris only being on the show part time. Having Iris in every episode makes no sense since she's not a hero or scientist and her character is just not interesting.

The show feels like it's gone off the rails and is going down the Smallville route (after the original creators left the show) with lots of bad episodes....

Yeah I can't agree with that. Iris is pretty integral to the plot right now with everything that is going on and I'm actually glad to see the family of speedsters which is pretty huge in the Flash mythology. I actually kinda wish they'd just bring Jay into Earth 1 as a confidant/mentor to Barry.

Arrow on the other hand is terrible. If they aren't basically ripping off Batman stories for the plot line, they're making Oliver out to be something he's never been, a sociopath. I really wish they'd take Arrow in a different direction completely. While I don't mind some of the team when Curtis isn't being Mr. Terrific he's completely annoying and Wild Dog might be the most worthless character in the entire show. I do like the new Canary, it's a shame they finally got her attitude correct and it's not with Laurel.

Season 1 - 9.5
Season 2 - 9.0
Season 3 - 6.0

Arrow
Season 1 - 9.5
Season 2 - 9.0
Season 3 - 6.5
Season 4 - 5.0
Season 5 - (1st half 6.0, 2nd half 8.5)

Agreed, although I'd give Flash season 3 a 7.
Legends is a solid 8 too.
I quit watching Supergirl but do like it when she is in the other shows. Her supporting cast is just terrible though.
