The scene above was my favorite of the episode. Probably geeked more for this than seeing the Avengers Assembled for the first time. It was so freakin perfect.

Me too. I’m older than you, and I had a big grin on my face too. Great stuff!

just watched it. Freakin’ AWESOME! Much better than I thought it would be. Connected Ronnie+Stein. White eyes, “Ronald”, “Professor,” Flying, splitting, joining, Pittsburgh, 360 vision. Awesome to see Firestorm come to life. A dream come true…

No bad ending. Romances seemed to work well. Fight scenes nice (too short, but nice). Props to CW and the gang for doing this right.

Wanted: Transmutation; movement through objects; energy absorption; distance joining; more joint conversations; professor giving more advice when joined…

Overall: Spin-off? Heck YEAH! Firestorm comic book rebirth! Yes!

What’s wrong with me? I’m a 38-year old man, but I just watched the last two Flash / Firestorm episodes with a big 11-year old grin on my face. I never really thought I’d see a live-action Firestorm, and I once we got the news that he would appear on the Flash, I just knew they’d mess him up… Boy, was I wrong on both accounts.

I was completely impressed by those last two episodes. The only thing I need to see now is the costume. That’s gotta be one of the things that they add after Firestorm returns from Pittsburgh, right? Right?

When Professor Stein warned Ronnie about soldiers coming up behind him, it reminded me of the Hero Points podcast where you talked about Firestorm’s 360 degree vision. I think you influenced pop culture again, Shag!

There were a number of parts where I had to rewind and rewatch….repeatedly. That includes the clip you’ve got as the animated gif!

After it was all over, I said I wish I could go back in time to my 10 yr old self and say “you have no idea what to look forward to – your favorite comic book character IS going to be on live action tv in the future!!”

That was such a wonderfully written episode. It felt like a big set up for a Firestorm spin-off, which I’d welcome wholeheartedly. I never thought I’d see the day Firestorm got this type of portrayal. I love living in the future!

Firestorm has been my favorite character ever since I was 9 and saw the Galactic Guardians cartoon. I’ve been waiting 30 years for this live action version and it’s well worth the wait!
