The Flash 2.01, Limitless 1.03

The Flash 2.01 The Man Who Saved Central City
Looks like Barry starts off with blaming himself for what happened at the end of last season. Ronnie's lost in the vortex and he doesn't feel he deserves the key to the city for his bravery.

Caitlin shouldn't be separate from S.T.A.R. labs, I forbid this! Her spot is better with the team than Iris. She's just a journalist mourning her ex-boyfriend Eddie. I feel she isn't healthy for Barry's well being. She knows Barry always had feelings for her, but she ignored and friend-zoned him the entire time.

The rebel character was a weak one tonight, since this premiere was more dialogue/emotional based. Jay Garrick arriving at the end was a lot of fun though! I wonder what news he has for Barry and the team.

Limitless 1.03 The Legend of Marcos Ramos
I can't get over how Brian hustled the entire floor for information on their crooked boss haha Probably the best part of the episode.

Seeing his interaction with his ex-girlfriend Shauna finally showed what his past used to be. It's too bad she couldn't stick around, but the warning from Bradley Cooper's and company was a huge threat. Speaking of which, it really looks like the stay-at-home nurse knows more than she's lead on this whole time. She knows Brian's body will eventually shut down. She also knows to categorize herself as a number. It's not like Brian can rely on her for the truth, but she is taking care of his father's health. I'm hoping she can eventually help him if it comes down to a moral decision.

Limitless 1.02 Badge! Gun!

Okay it looks like Bradley Cooper's people are making sure Brian keeps his mouth shut about being immune to the NZT drug side effects. I wonder if keeping Brian's father with the stay-at-home nurse in all of this will be the coin toss between staying under with the FBI and continuing an addiction to the drug. He knows because of his immunity, he won't crash after taking so many at once.

I can see the writers are setting up character development between Brian and Rebecca. She's watching over him and actually vouched for his "FBI badge" in the end of the episode. She's probably holding his abilities the closest with the situation of her father. I wonder if Senator Eddie Mora (Bradley Cooper) becomes tied to her father's death. Rebecca explained he was full of hope the last day she saw her, with the traces of the NZT drug in him. Maybe he was the experiment before his body gave in.

It's moving slowly but I like the comedic appeal Brian brings to the show.

I'm surprised I decided to tune in to this show judging by the limited amount of previews, but it turned out interesting! Set in New York (as are most popular shows are) the concept of an average guy Brian Finch suddenly obtains a remarkable memory. The producers made him relatable to anyone who feels they've contemplated their life decisions and career choices. It makes the protagonist likeable and similar to any mid to late twenty-something adult today.

We warm up to Brian Finch's character easily, especially since everyone knows what it's like to be <i>human</i> and not know what happens after letting some time pass you by. We see him cross paths with an old friend, which decides to do him a favour in getting ahead.

We later find out he takes this counterfeit street drug 'NZT', which mainly enhances his brain activity and ability to retain information. It burns himself out just as easily, but it looks like the skeleton of the story throughout the show. There's a lot of intertwining involved with the drug, but it appears to be underground funds for this drug to be a success.

I'm excited Hill Harper and Jennifer Carpenter have a new show. With Bradley Cooper's cameo, I wonder if he'll be a regular since he's such a high profile actor. I'll see how the rest of this show turns out as the season goes along.
