Well, we know how we feel about the premise of the new Flash series. So, what did you think of the old one?
I love the old Flash series. Okay, so they went a little crazy with the suit (it was all bulked up, when something like Spiderman's streamlined ware would have been, well, not as funny) but I loved it anyway. The writing was good, and it fully embraced the camp. And I really liked the Mark Hamill, Joker-type character.
I remember seeing the pilot on Sci-Fi Channel a while back. I remember the last line giving me chills. When Barry is talking to his nephew, whose father had been murdered (the Flash avenged his death, so it's cool), and he says something like, "If you ever need me, I'll be there. Like a flash."
Why that gives me chills, I have no idea. But it kind of reminds me of the moment in the Superman movie when Supes is flying around all suave and cool, and he looks directly at the camera and sort of smiles before pealing away. I loved that!
Anyway, I loved THE FLASH. One aspect I liked is that most people in Central City weren't sure he even existed. Most thought he was an urban legend. He was just so fast, very few people actually saw him, but they did see the results of his actions. And a lot of people only saw a red blur, which is why some people thought he was a ghost or something.
I hope Sci-Fi Channel starts airing THE FLASH again. I'd be there.
