Rent is only good if you haven't seen the Broadway version of it. Like, I was so excited to watch it, but the movie flat out cuts out parts of songs, and I'm like wtf. I also don't really dig the movie's arrangements.
Broadway > Touring Cast >>>>>>> Movie
It has been off Broadway for almost 10 years. And Martin/Menzel and the likes only did it for a year, so the movie has to do. With almost the entire original cast, it is kinda mandatory to see this one. They should do that more often, I would love for instance a Wicked movie with Menzel and Chenoweth, or a Spring Awakening one with Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele.
Book is still great even knowing it is Barbara.
That said, I am still enraged every time I finish an issue.
I really should stop torturing myself

I'm nearly at the end of season 1. Please tell me season 2 is as good as the first one.
It is so good it made me like a superhero I didn't really like before.

Season 2 is delicious but the Legends of Tomorrow stuff hurts it and as Wonkers says, Barry is le dumb.

OK, so I want to pick Flash back up in Season 1, but the entire reason we stopped was because we were watching in the Flash -> Arrow -> Flash order for any crossover stuff, but Arrow S3 is just not great at all and we stopped altogether.
What episodes are important to watch like that? The thought of trying to slog through Arrow isn't appealing, so I'd like to know which are linked to Flash.

Episode 8 of both seasons. That is the minimum.

You could just drop Arrow and you'd probably be happier for it. Getting mini-summaries from characters that cross-over into Flash is enough to keep you abreast of that shit-show.

Épisode 2 of season 2 watched; indeed Barry holds the idiot ball quite often.

Over halfway through the first season, I fucking love this. It's not afraid to be super cheesy, and that's what makes it for me, feels like a legit comic series brought to life. The casting is great, the characters are great, the writing is mostly great, and the overall chemistry is striking.
But does it get better or worse?

Season 1 is by far the best IMO, season 2 episodes are lame exept the last 10 minutes of certain episodes, can't beat season 1 surprises and shocker moments
The last half of the first season I think, mostly gets better. Once the main antagonist becomes the central focus, everything pays off. That guy pretty much makes Flash S1 a standout for a superhero TV show imo.
The second season is a more mixed bag though.

This is why I hate getting too attached to TV shows, but at least it doesn't seem like a disaster. Hopefully it gets better then.

The Season 2 story so far has been bogged down by launching Legends of Tomorrow, wrapping up loose threads from Season 1, and a romance that failed to launch.
If there was more coherence it would still be fantastic, but make no mistake it's still good. Whenever the main villain shows up he commands attention. Whenever Flash uses a new power or remembers to use an old one, it's still fun as hell. There are still great heart-string-tugging moments. The Flash team are still lovable goofballs. The last 4 or 5 episodes have been much better than most of the early season and we've still got 8 left. I'm hoping they add up to an overall good season.
It will remain the first show you want to watch on Tuesdays.

Looks like Kevin Smith just finished shooting his first scene for the flash.

Even back then, Batman wasn't having Superman winning anything.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Just give me, "Please, Kara, that was for charity" and I can be happy.
That would be an hilarious revelation once they tie.

Love the promo image. They need to do more homages.
Flash did a nice one when the two Flashes go to save Patty.
I was just about to say that
Episode 9 and on in S1 is great. S2 is just as good, in some places better. Kinda surprised at the last couple posts, didn't realize this season wasn't being as well received. There's only one thing I don't like about this season, but it may be totally recontextualized given a certain recent cliffhanger.
The cliffhanger is what is turning of some people.

But... Barry isn't the fastest man alive. I thought we all agreed on that or was I wrong?!
Barry will totally do that, well he better!

Desperate to find a way to increase his speed, Barry decides to travel back in time and masquerade as his earlier self in order to get his arch-nemesis, Dr. Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh), to teach him how to run faster.

Alice Troughton? She directed Doctor Who: Midnight. Definitely looking forward to this.

What I was surprised about the entire thing in general was just the emotional chemistry between the actors. It started off really cheesy, but in a great way, and now I find myself emotionally invested ten-fold. I think the best episode so far has been when the
tidal wave hit, Cisco was killed by Wells, Barry revealed his identity to Iris, and then... nothing. It was great because you get these what would be huge moments, but then the timeline fuckery, well, fucked it all up. I loved that because it gave you things that you've been wanting to see happen, but they actually don't

Glorious. The team up we deserve, and it even has the title that the Batman/Superman movie should have had. World's Finest indeed.

This is going to be an interesting ass episode.
Was wondering why he would've needed to go back into that timeline. Conning Wells!Eobard into helping him get faster seems to make sense. Wonder how Pied Piper plays into it all, though.
I wonder how he ends up there, anyway. Probably an attempt to get back to Earth-2 gone wrong. I'd hope they actually show that attempt prior to the crossover.
Holy shit yes.

Finale will air on May 24th.
That seems like a damn cool episode. It is also funny how they
bring back Eddie a couple of episodes after revealing he isn't Zoom. Should have announced Eddie coming back before.
