Another week has just started and 2 more episodes of the flash and Arrow are coming. However this,past week has showed us all the weaknesses and strenghts of both shows.
The flash strenghts are obviously the mysteries surrounding most characters and Barry's developing powers. We love to see Barry have fun using his powers.
The flash weaknesses are obvious too. The show has a villain for each new episode and though there is a common tread behind all episodes I can't help to feel how disconnected the episodes are. It almost feels like they are waiting for these episodes to be over to show us the awesome part of the storyline closer to the end of the season.
As for Arrow I think that its strenghts are obvious. Its characters are very well developed with story lines very interesting to watch and follow. Its villains are entertaining with good motivations that drive them. The fighting scenes are very well executed, plus the show really made Oliver Queen a believable character.
However the clear and transparent problem of Arrow which has manifested during the last episodes is the coexistence of the show is the same universe of the Flash. Unfortunately combining both shows was a huge punch to the credibility of Arrow because when faced with an insurmountable obstacle the Arrow can simply call the Flash to help save the day. However instead of doing that the Arrow decided in the very last episode to team up with his biggest enemy, with the guy who is responsible for several hundreds deaths in Starling along with Sara's death and Tommy's death. Instead of teaming up with Merlin, Oliver could have easily decided to team up with the Flash to save his sister and his own life but rather he completely neglected Barry's presence and he took the road on which a superhero never should go.
This is my overview of both shows and i truly hope that ky two most favourite shows on TV will get better in the upcoming episodes.
