His talk with the Speed Force reminded me of some of the more existential works of his, but it was done in such a way that it never came off as overly preachy, but more introspective. Which tends to be how Kevin Smith handles them.
I am down for more Kevin Smith directed Flash episodes. Just to shake things up once a season.
The thing is, Kevin Smith is known more as a writer than he is as a director. Most of his movies he both wrote and directed — his direction is good, but not fancy, so you won't really notice anything when he directs an episode of television (unlike, say, Joss Whedon, who really likes to include The Oner). It's his scripts that are usually filled with his brand of humor.
I stopped giving a crap about Arrow after Season 2.
I had really just been watching it in the firs place to get the set up for Flash, was intending to swap between Arrow and Flash when I got to that...... then I started hearing all the stuff that was going on with Arrow.. and was already getting tired of a lot of it's shit so... yeah haven't watched it yet aside from the episodes that are one half of a Flash story.
Not to mention his writing is filled with dialogue ABOUT comic books and laced with a lot of network tv inappropriate discussions. He talks about being hired to write a Superman movie in the 90's and even he's not sure why, even though his movies have a lot of comic book references he wonders why an executive would hear a conversation about a Kryptonite condom in a movie and think "The guy who wrote that is perfect for Superman."
His directing style is pretty generic but in some ways that worked in the episode's favor. Bringing in an outside person like that can create a really weird dissonance because they want to add all sorts of new and different touches, like gratuitous lens flare or make the entire episode like Birdman or have a bunch of extreme close ups, etc. The Flash episode itself was just slightly off from the norm, allowing any quirks to seem intentional rather than a guest director who just isn't playing by the house style rules.
I mean there are 50 odd years of plotlines they could use, I doubt we'll see this one.
also. they chose Firestorm's theme instead of a Flash theme or an Iris theme which makes no sense to me I mean " the nuclear man" is one of the prettiest pieces but why use it and not "Best friends since childhood" or "I love you,Iris" or "reveal to Iris" or even "eddie and Iris"
yes I know it's a nitpick but I can't help it, I've listened to the score so many times I can't help but pick out where they fit.
Got a degree in Emotional trauma via fictional characters aka creative writing. hosting S'mores party in Hell for fellow (evil) writersI'm still hoping it can inexplicably bring back Laurel and Bette. they don't even have to do much on the shows, they just have to be mentioned to be alive and kicking evil's ass off screen somewhere.

I think it was a slip up. The first Arrow was suppose to be Flash based on their post.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureFYI, spoilers for season 1 finale.
Okay, can someone explain how Time Remnants are supposed to work? I thought it was just that Time Travelers have a buffer period before getting affected by time shenanigans, so Thawne didn't have his ancestor dying catch up to him until the point we see him die, which is later in his personal timeline. But all of the sudden Zoom and Barry can just spawn Time Remnant clones? Are the clones just time traveling in from the future (/an alternate timeline)?
It's a theory that avoids the Temporal Paradox, that the act of time traveling protects someone from certain changes they make to the timeline. Thus they come from a timeline where they time traveled, and there is a timeline where they didn't time travel and remain in the linear timeline. In the episode where the Reverse Flash returns, they explain via handy Back to the Future-esque diagram that time traveling shunts someone outside of the timeline and they will always land in a certain time period regardless of the changes made to the regular timeline, including if they were wiped from the timeline. The parallel to this is the Time Wraiths, who are trying to correct those timeline problems. Hunter was vague on how far back he went to create Jay Garrick, but in the finale Barry time traveled mere nano-seconds into the past, creating a time remnant completely aware of the situation.

You could sense his humor in a few of the lines. Other than that, it was just a good episode in general. And apparently he's a pleasure to work with, because the entire cast loved the whole experience.
