Should Jefferson/Stein count as Firestorm #11 on your incarnations count?

I haven’t read the other comments yet, so I won’t be biased— I loved it. Just loved it. I thought the idea of using Jefferson was astute— they have been doing such wonderful shout-outs to the hardcore readers of the 80s Firestorm series. Can it be much longer before we discover Zoom is really the love child of Cliff Carmichael and Doreen Day?

I’d love to see this question actually addressed by the producers. Best guess is simply that, having established a Jason on-screen, but being unable to get the actor back (and/or having established Jason as another scientist-type, and wanting to get a more “classic jock” type character, like the original comics had) they decided to go in another direction.

Seriously, though, I think we need to look past the names used for the characters, and more to the personalities. Jax is, in many ways, going to make for a more classic-feeling Firestorm than we were likely to get with Ronnie or Jason as their personalities had been established on this show so far.

Of course, the Flash’s Ronnie really *wasn’t* the original. He bears only a passing resemblance to the comic character. Indeed, as the article above shows, Jax is actually closer to comic-Ronnie in many important respects.

They keep teasing transmutation without actually showing it… I’d have thought that one of the easier special effects to get across. Why take so long?

Nah… weird would have been what ran through my head when Stein started in with the blue flames last episode — fuse Caitlin with Stein for Firehawk (it really reminded me of her second costume look), with the Killer Frost teases we’ve seen so far actually being Earth-2 Caitlin the whole time. Talk about a mixed up meeting there… and what would Clarissa think?

Ah… what could have been…

I enjoyed it, but my biggest question is….why not Jason Roush? Why create a totally new and different character that isn’t Ronnie OR Jason? It just felt weird.

I do hope Ronnie comes back.

I´m a Firestorm fan and I don´t like the new character.

We´ve never dreamt that Firestorm would ever be done live action and now that it finally happened we barely got to have him (the original).

Haven’t seen it yet, but I hope there’s–finally–transmutation.

A great episode and I never thought I would see the day that Firestorm was a real TV character.
