The Flash is firmly aimed at comic\superhero nerds which is fine because I am one, this looks like it's aimed at teenage girls.
Perhaps comic\superhero nerds have enough stuff aimed at them already? - My three daughters (10, 12 & 13yr olds) watched the trailer and said it looked interesting - Maybe it will go some way to converting them to comic\superhero nerds and weaning them off Disney Channel tripe?!

The problem with that argument is that it doesn't look all that different from the Disney Channel tripe, right down to a Hannah Montana theme song. If they are trying to target that audience, just for once I'd like to see someone do it with a bit more intelligence. I've seen other stuff which seemed to be aimed specifically at girls like Twilight and Vampire Diaries both of which were pretty crap. Surely if a Superhero for girls is their aim, they can come up with something a bit more original and with a bit more to it than the usual vapid crap that they seem to go to as a matter of course for that target audience or are we suggesting that is all that teenage girls are capable of relating to?

Just saw the pilot, better than I thought, good action scenes

watched it and have to say it's not grabbing me, it's ok (has some cracking scenes to be honest) but seems to be aimed too much at the target demographic (young girls) with, IMO, not enough outside of the d/g (like for example Arrow and Flash).

I think it's more 'leaked'. In HD, all SFX complete and no watermark to be seeing?

We watched it Sat am, before we saw it was leaked 6m early.

My initial comment was that we've not seen much promo for it, adverts, news tattle etc laugh now we know why. Although I think that like The Flash, it was leaked as promo

Yes, as a leaked copy you can see it still needs some work.

As a pilot to go straight out there, it will hold for the Tweenys but not the fan boys; too Smallville

Just watched The Pilot. It grabbed me enough that I think I am going to need a better Download line. NCIS, Flash, Daredevil, Agent Carter, Legends of Tomorrow, Castle. Getting Interesting out there.
