The one who was imba

The one who was imba

Now this was supposed to become an epic post - a post that generations of bloggers would look back to and say "Oh my - how witty this post is. How brilliant he provided a counterpoint to the person in chat. How he cunningly managed to draw forth the utter hilarity of the single sentence in chat and still let the person saying it keep their good graces."

However... it was not to be. See... Tamarind started a post about raiding again - basically after he had decided to cut down on it all. And he made a few rather interesting points about people putting "imba group" or the likes into their adverts.

I agree with him, obviously. Mentioning an "imba" group before the start of said group seems strange. Even more strange are the groups saying something like "Looking for 3 more ICC: three healers. First boss down - imba group". When three healers leave after one boss the group may not be as ...

hmm..

Now that I think about it. What does "imba" stand for anyway?

Intriguing. According to Wikipedia it is short for the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Austria. They even have a logo up on their site.

That makes a lot more sense actually. So an "Imba" group basically means a group of people from the institute of molecular biotechnology forming in their spare time. As with any big company the employees are probably spread out over a number of guilds. This is their way of forming a cross-guild group to chat about on their next lunchbreak.

And this specimen...

well.. he was just the only one online that evening. Poor guy. Probably hoped to draw some secret alts of his collegues out of the woodwork.

English

The first mystery is why was he alone in his room
Drinking a poisoned bottle of wine
Silently listening to the one-armed detective speak
The detective continued in front of the girl

The reason is simple, at that point in time
He was destined to die

So, who is the culprit?
You know the answer to that question
Because it all happened
In front of your eyes

So, who is the culprit?
Even if you dont say the answer
I will answer it for you
The way this crime will end

The second mystery is, why did they fall into the ocean?
And was the culprit really among them?

The girl grabs the knife hidden inside her pocket
The detective doesnt realize this and continue talking
The one fatal mistake in my plan
was the other detective that was tagged into this

So, who is the culprit?
The detective easily hits it out of the her hand
The girls last resort

So, whos the culprit?
Come, the name of the person in front of you
Say my name!

I really
Didnt want you to find out
I will be merciful
Hurry, if you want to run then run away quickly...

So, whos the culprit?
There may be more than one answer to that question
But the means to confirm that answer is about to dissapear

So, whos the culprit?
Come, if you dont hurry up
My hands are going to kill you
You dont have much time

So, whos the culprit?
You know the answer to that question
Because everything happened in front of your eyes

So, whos the culprit?
The person standing in front of you
Come, say that persons name
My name!

The Flash S02E01 Man who saved Central City

The Flash S02E01 Man who saved Central City

The Flash
S02E01: "Man who saved Central City"
Rating: 6

In A Nutshell

Its not been ages between seasons, but it certainly doesnt feel like just last week that The Flash was last on. Either way, even with my poor memory I could remember what happened roughly last series, so the recap was thankfully brief. After that cliffhanger of a singularity opening above the city, everything this week starts off very quiet and peaceful ... yes, theyve skipped along six months (dont recall any caption) but its made very obvious. Barry is going it alone and doesnt want anyones help to combat crime. Cisco in working in the police department like some sort of whizzkid janitor. Iris is looking incredibly cheery despite Eddies demise. I know its months later but still, were really skipping over her grief which would have been quite interesting to have lived through on screen.

Through a couple flashbacks we see The Flash and Firestorm stop the singularity, although we end up without Ronnie, as just Professor Stein returns with The Flash. Oh Well. Ronnie will return Im sure. That guy just keeps coming back and going, and coming back. Sadly though hes rather a dull character outside of the superhero stuff.

So, six months has passed and its the day before Flash Day, when Flash is getting presented with the key to the city. Barrys not sure he wants to turn up for event, but some prep talk turns him round. Sure as sure, an attack occurs as hes about to get the key thanks to some super strength and semi fast guy. Coincidentally, he looks exactly the same as a person they found dead earlier in the day at a building site, but alas, the body is still in the morgue. Flash comes off second best and, despite a get-together team-up to support Barry after yet more prep talking, he comes off second best once again.

In the interim, Barry receives a USB stick of Dr Wells video msg to Barry. Hes already inherited the lab it seems from Dr Wells. Hes no intention of viewing the message but when he goes to chat to Caitlin, the USB stick is with him and she convinces him to watch it. In the video Wells admits to killing Barrys mum, and thus Barrys dad is freed. However, his dad is not going to hang around. Just when you thought he might be a series regular, hes off again, choosing to keep his distance in order to help Barry do his job. Sort of makes sense, but then there are other people close to Barry that would be equally as problematic in the heat of the action.

Back to the main story, and they track down the bad guy, named "Atom Smasher" and trick him into following The Flash to a nuclear power plant, where he gets severely radiated to near death. His final words reveal he was put up to it by someone called "Zoom". As everyone gets all chummy at the end and ready to keep up the good fight against crime, an intruder appears and tells them that "their" world is in danger.

What I liked

Things zipped along at just the right pace, although they did sort of move past some of the season one emotional fallout.

Everyone will be glad that Barrys dad is finally released!

The usual enjoyable mix of characters is very good. The Professor as a regular isnt anywhere near as good as Eddie but hes likeable.

What I Didnt Like

Six Months Later: Programmes that skip along time periods never go down very well with me. They sometimes work, and in this episode it was quite nicely played, although it did make things skip by rather non-spectacularly perhaps, but at least there wasnt much to fill in ... aside from that singularity ... which brings me on to ...

... that singularity. We got a flashback to them fixing the singularity, which was solved so quickly, although at a human cost, that it lacked any real gravity of peril. Sure, buildings and people were being ripped up, but we saw this singularity appear so briefly at end of last season, that with its limited time this episode, it all feels like a "flash in the pan" when we know (if youve seen the trailer for season 2) that the singularity has big consequences for the show.

Its not until next episode that this becomes an issue I expect, but this show is about to go all "Fringe" on us, which is good and bad, but Im thinking mostly good.

Gideon! Hello? Every has forgotten the super tech AI in the lab! It gets a mention but one would think that AI would be being used all the time to see whats about to happen!

Said it last series and Ill say it again; Odds are we havent seen the last of Dr Wells or Eddie. Admittedly we saw Wells in the video but I meant in person. Eddie Im sure as sure will return. Ronnie probably also, although hes VERY boring.

Huh?

Flash Bang Wallop; the singularity was fixed rather quickly.

So, Barry drops the USB Stick beside Caitlin, but didnt he earlier ...

... yes, he dropped it on the desk, discarding it with no interest of ever using it. So why did he have it with him later?

Welcome back Mr Allen! The party soon changes from a welcome home, to a leaving party though.

I come in peace and youre in danger. The cliffhanger.

And Finally

A decent opener that skips over whats happened in the last six months rather quickly. Perhaps thats because theres nothing much of note, but I do think weve missed out on some compelling emotional time with the cast. Although, whats coming up looks like "fun" ...
