I wondered if Barry creating a vacuum to extinguish the fire wouldn't also collapse people's lungs. I know humans can survive without air, but a vacuum isn't *just* the absence of air.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Steph, I think that there would probably some injury, but not so much because of the short duration, and also still a better alternative than breathing superheated gases and smoke.

Brief vacuum exposure doesn't seem to have any lasting negative consequences for people, although it will knock you unconscious PDQ.

Also, is the Pied Piper still in the hole? Because he might be willing to help against Wells.
Pied Piper broke out because he convinced Cisco that he had useful information, but he would only share it if Cisco took him...somewhere. I can't remember. And then he got away. I think.

That sounds right.
It would be nice if there was a website that kept track of who's still down there.
Thinking about that last scene with the fake!Wells, I'm now wondering what the shapeshifter was planning on doing with his upraised hand if Joe hadn't shot him. He obviously wasn't going to gut Cisco.
Eh, I still love watching this show, even when things don't make the most sense.

Ha! New credits for Arrow. Clever, show, clever.

So, Arrow is just going full Batman, then?
That was satisfyingly* bonkers.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I enjoyed that a ton. This show has been progressively more crazypants than usual after Oliver's return from the dead, and I think I dig it. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but sense-making has never been its strong suit (HA! Understatement of the year). I certainly have been finding it whole a lot more entertaining than pre-hiatus episodes.
This ep in particular was chockful of awesome ladies doing awesome things. At some point, it was Laurel, Nyssa, Felicity, Lyla, and Thea, plus Diggle, all banding together against Darth Ollie (hee! Felicity FTW) and the League of Stylish Ninjas. OK, they lost, but I clapped in glee when the Diggles had their code word (Jakarta!) and Lyla pulled those guns from Felicity's pockets (?) like the badass she was. And! Thea, on full-on Speedy mode, shooting the shit out of her own brother! That made me super happy.
Boy, Laurel/Nyssa vibe was THICK in this one. I don't think Katie Cassidy has ever had this much chemistry with anyone on the show. I mean, I like Laurel/Tommy well enough, but this was on another level.

I just said basically the same thing on FB. Ollie got played hard by the women.

TRUTH. (And I loved Laurel/Tommy, but...yeah.)
