"Plastique"

KELLY FRYE GUEST STARS AS DC COMICS' PLASTIQUE AND CLANCY BROWN GUEST STARS AS GENERAL EILING - After a bomb goes off downtown, the army, led by General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown), rolls in and takes over the case, much to Joe's (Jesse Martin) surprise. Suspicious, Joe tells Barry (Grant Gustin) that he and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs should look into the army's involvement. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) informs the team that Eiling was experimenting on his men to turn them into super soldiers. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) confirms one of Eiling's soldiers, Bette Sans Souci (guest star Kelly Frye), was at the bomb site. The Flash tracks her down and realizes that she's not setting off the bombs, she is a meta-human who can blow things up just by touching them. Meanwhile, when Joe learns Iris is writing about "the streak," he tells Barry to make her stop. Barry realizes Iris won't listen to him so he decides to have The Flash pay her a visit.

Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing & Brooke Eikmeier (#105).

Looks good with some nice action, but like with POI we'll have to wait until November 11th ...

The Flash 1x05 Comic Preview:

The Flash - Episode 1.05 - Plastique - Sneak Peek 2

Good episode! It's a lot of fun to watch this show. Especially Cisco (but also Caitlin) was a pure win this time.
Dr. Wells is the hell of a creepy guy. How he manipulated Bette to attack the general ... I'm not sure, that his plan wasn't to get rid of both of them.
It was sad (for Cisco's sake) to see Bette getting killed. She would have been the first "meta-human" without beeing just evil, but they had to kill her off ... damn ... That was the only thing I really kind of disliked in this ep.

It's a comic book show, we never saw her die, so she could still be alive. But I did enjoy this episode too, I can't figure Wells out either, he wants to protect Barry but is pretty evil, I am curious to see his backstory.

so she could still be alive........ I  was thinking if she explodes she could come back together again, and it could be a healing mechanism?
She had a cool name and wasnt bad and robbing banks etc.
And ding dong liked her

I can't figure Wells out either, he wants to protect Barry but is pretty evil,.......... yeah he does something sinister at end of each ep. hides the fact he can walk, uses people, but protects barry.

They show him a grodd at end of this ep, I wonder if grodd escaped or wells hid him??


And iris says  she is doing it to help barry but when barry asks her to stop she says no LOL

The iris stuff would be ok if it wasnt every ep ! cmon barry get over it or grow a pair?

1) ding dong???

2) Yep, that's exactly the huge flaw in her "selfless" motives. Actually at the end of their conversation she admitted that it has grown beyond helping Barry, and she couldn't stop any longer, because she wants to help all the people who need to believe that the impossible can become possible bla bla bla ...
So ...

3) Barry, get the hell over her and call Felicity ...

So ........... she is full of it, she just has the hots for the flash!

This was a issue in some old comics, and the hero tended to not like it if a girl was in love with his alter ego.
they wanted to be liked as their normal self.
So Iris has never had the hots for barry but instanltly does for the flash, sok barry should just forget about her , but the show runners will keep this going all thru series.
They should drop the whole romance thing and later have barry tell her he is the flash and she could be a ally or part of team flash.


3) Barry, get the hell over her and call Felicity ...

yeah but they plan on iris barry us for years lol


I thought the voice disguise was corny but then they had a good reason for it.

Yea, Poor Felicity, she keeps falling for guys who are destined for others.

I cant remember his name no disrespect intended cisco is his name.
That is funny cause back in early 60's maybe even late 50's there was a show about 2 mexican
cowboys who dressed very corny, mexican style big sombreros and fancy clothes.
It would probably be considered racist today . lol
But one was named pancho which is common, but the other was cisco, which I always thought was a odd name.
now in the 55 years since that show I never saw anyone on tv with that name, or in real life, an now here is a Mexican? guy
and his Name is Cisco! so I always think of the other show when I see that name, because every show started with
" hey pancho.... hey Cisco "
So now after all that maybe I can remember his name??

I told you before I cant remember all these names from all the shows. If I only watched 4 shows sure no problem
but the more shows the more I forget.
I forget reese in poi, but I know he is man in the suit but I dont wanna type that out.

CW The Flash 1.4/4 3.46 and beat the abc show
ABC Selfie 0.9/3 3.25

Pretty amazing for a CW show,They should go ahead and book it for S-2 !
problem is the ratings being good tscc they will think everyone loves the iris barry thing ! lol
and everything else.

Funny cause in the original comic, from the 60's Iris was a woman , white, and did not grow up with barry, and really just a woman who was his mild GF.
She had no thing for the flash, and barry was always late meeting her, which was supposed to be ironic, fastest man yet always late.
I recently got the digital copys of those old books , mainly I liked the covers but the stories were ok.

I also got the green lantern, and his GF did have a thing for the GL I think.

I will post a few covers , which ones (villains) will they use

here is grodd which we know they will use and some others that were recurring in old comics.

I did see catelin? holding a boomerang, so was that foretelling, or just a nod to boomerang?

They had a version of the weather master, so maybe that is it on him, and capn cold has appeared.

Capt Boomerang will be Iater this season
