The Revenge Of The Rogues!

I’m not sure what it is with the Universe and me but whenever I’m about to see Went in anything, it sure likes to play little games with me.

 

This morning I woke up with such excitement because I knew that the Flash was going to be on TV tonight with Went and Dom in it.  I’ve been looking forward to seeing The Revenge of the Rogues for so long now.  I began the morning counting the hours and by 1 pm it became the minutes. I thought that I’d start the dinner early.  I had the casserole in the oven at 2.00 pm. At precisely 2.15 pm the lights were turned off.  In SA we are experiencing major blackouts, so every day South Africans wait in anticipation for the big switch off and can you believe it today of all days they decided to throw the switch?  Just when I thought I’d beat the system … all my preparations for cooking the dinner early when straight down the tubes.  Literally …

Takeaways were then on the menu and that meant finding a place that had gas cookers to cook the takeaways.  Meanwhile I was low on gas/petrol in the car and I knew that none of the Gas/Petrol Stations would be able to help me out because the pumps weren’t working either due to the blackout.  Fortunately, I managed to find a place about 2kms away that was able to accommodate me.  I made it home on the smell of an oil rag.  Who knows if I’ll have enough gas in my car tomorrow to get to the petrol/gas station but that’s another story and another hurdle to overcome.

Getting back to my main dilemma that being the Flash and those naughty Rogues, at 4.00 pm the electricity was still off.  I started counting the hours again.  I must add here that I had set the PVR decoder to record the episode for backup but I wanted to see Went in action so badly that it somehow didn’t pacify me in the least that I would be able to watch the episode later on. Anyway at 7.15 pm the lights came on … just 15 minutes before the Flash was to start.  How’s that for luck?

I settled down and sat glued to the screen.  I couldn’t wait to see Went and Dom and when they finally did, it was literally a smashing event.  I’m not going to go into detail about the show because I know that there are some fans that haven’t had the privilege of seeing it.  What I will tell you though is that Leonard Snart is one mean character and if he ever got to read this blog I hope that all my T’s have been crossed and my I’s have been dotted, because I’m going to be in a heap of trouble with him if they aren’t that’s for sure. 

I’ve always said that I don’t go for bad guys, but Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold just does something to me that gets me warm all over.

What a terrific actor Went is. 

It just goes to show that Went can play any character he wishes to and that goes for Dom too.   I thoroughly enjoyed both of their performances and I honestly can’t wait to see them together again, very soon.

I’d like to say this in case Went reads this …

Went you’re my man … what a talent you’ve got!  I’m so very proud of you.
