Not just individual metahumans, but life itself. I think those conversations--many of which take place between Joe and Barry--are one of the reasons I like this show so much. Even though each episode has plenty of plot, we get little character moments that are awfully sweet.

I assume he doesn't have any money so how is he getting around? Is he prostituting himself for cab fare/rent? Will we see an entire episode, dedicated to Jay, in the style of a Lifetime movie entitled: 'Where Does Jay Go At Night?'Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692688869757839481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-29784732090268335822016-02-04T05:46:44.361-05:002016-02-04T05:46:44.361-05:00Great point!

And Wells himself is a natural recalcitrant. I took Barry's speech as a huge turning point in both deciding to trust each other.<br /><br />Here's a more functional question I haven't heard anyone mention. Where do Jay and Wells live? Sleep? Eat? Considering they're on Barry's Earth? Does the Lab have a bunch of bedrooms somewhere?JRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485752215710916988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46333435036367307192016-02-04T04:32:08.883-05:002016-02-04T04:32:08.883-05:00It's a bit hard to take Barry's hero speec...It's a bit hard to take Barry's hero speech seriously given that he's shown little care for Harry's predicament so far. I mean, I know he was distracted by Patty but he was happy enough to continually take Harry's help without offering anything in return. In fact, they spend their time shaking their heads in wonder at how grumpy Harry is being! This season has been filled with questionable character behaviour. Harry's the only one whose behaviour actually makes sense. I always think about Graham Yost when he was discussing how they were going to kill off Tim on Justified in the last season, but they didn't do it, but the circumstances would have meant the character had made a stupid mistake and that just wasn't true to who Tim was. The Flash writing team could do with thinking about their characters like that from time to time.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692688869757839481noreply@blogger.com
