The Troubling Morality Of Flash Season Two

Let’s be honest, Arrow’s ethical choices are starting to rub off on the Flash.

The first season of Flash was one of the most unexpected and fantastic surprises of the past year.  It was an amazing show with action, intrigue, fun characters, a fantastic story arc, and an overall optimistic worldview that was lacking in other superhero movies or TV shows.  It was so good I waived my typical rule of not letting my boys watch a primetime superhero show (Arrow, SHIELD) and allowed them to watch Flash–they loved it as well and we still watch some of the older episodes.  The first season finale is one of the best episodes of superhero TV ever.

But now the second season is two episodes in and while the storyline continues to build there are a couple of troubling morality implications.  I’m not condemning them…yet…but I am concerned.  Head after the break to find out what has me troubled.

Fear the Walking Dead: Let’s Talk About S1E1

Last night marked not only the first airing of the Fear the Walking Dead spin-off series but also the first time I’ve ever watched a Walking Dead episode the night it aired.  And that’s only because I watched The Walking Dead pilot a couple of years after it aired (I haven’t watched any other episodes).  Yes, I’m a huge Walking Dead fan (the comic) who feels no need to see the TV show because I know the major plot points.  The TV show will be different, of course, but not enough to make me interested especially when the books keep coming out and are amazing.  In this sense it’s the anti-Game of Thrones.

But a spin-off interests me because it’s a new story, one I can’t know anything about, but still based in a universe I deeply respect.  So what did this zombie literature fan and Walking Dead admirer think of the new spin-off?  Jump after the break to find out.  [MINOR FEAR THE WALKING DEAD PILOT SPOILERS BEYOND]
