The first episode of the new live action Flash TV show debuts tonight, but like any good Interneteer, I watched the pilot over the summer when it got leaked online. But I’m going to watch the episode on TV tonight and get up a full review before the week is out. I’m hoping they’ve improved upon the show somehow…because I just don’t care for the first episode.

Here’s the last trailer for your viewing pleasure.

I’m going to save most of my thoughts and concerns for my full review, but for right now, I figured I could drop a few comments.

First of all, the show is so hokey. I don’t know what I was expecting, probably something along the lines of Arrow, but The Flash is just one hokey show. I don’t remember all the details from the pilot, but everybody always complains about Barry being late to things. And then there’s that whole “Lightning gave me abs” thing that I just don’t like. Lightning didn’t give you abs, TV executives demanding a hot bodied star gave you abs. There’s no conceivable reason for lightning to give him abs.

On top of that…I dunno. I can’t really remember everything. I just know that the pilot felt so forced and hokey. Even Green Arrow’s cameo was really awkward. But reading reviews on the web, I seem to be in the minority. And if I’m going to keep watching Gotham and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., you better believe I’m going to keep watching The Flash!
