主题，凯文史密斯将指导新一集闪电侠

　　凯文签约指导这部剧的时候剧组里的成员们好像并不知道他是这部剧的粉丝，凯文是经他的挚友，杰森·马维斯，也是这部剧的长期合作人，介绍到闪电侠剧组的。他怎么可能不是这部剧的粉丝呢?

　　史密斯接受“zap2it”采访时说道：“我接这部剧就是因为他”。经过马维斯一遍又一遍地游说，他自己又看了第二季中引出了金·鲨这个角色的“狂怒火爆”。从此，史密斯对这个系列变得很痴迷。

　　他说道：“我真的爱上了这部剧，风格真的很符合八九十年代发行的漫画。每一集是不同的独立的故事，但保持了漫画中原汁原味的中心思想，诙谐风格和场景设置。”

　　“如果我不做喜剧，那我最拿手的就是让人闹心。”这种情绪将在下周颓废的巴里(格兰特贾斯汀)挣扎着找回他能力的情节中充分表现出来。

　　“每当巴里的母亲出现在剧集中，无论何时，无论是单说诺拉(米歇尔·哈里森)还是说她和巴里的事，都能起到升华剧集的作用。”他说“第一季最后一集是我最爱的。我打破了扎克的剧本，用他母亲为元素去迎合第一季最后一集的情感基调。”

　　所以史密斯不能保证巴里与他母亲的交流会使观众痛哭流涕但这一情节设置所带来的悲痛之情是毋庸置疑的。

　　他又说：“我们有机会将观众剖心破肺，撕开他们的胸膛当着他们的面把他们的心吃掉。但仍能看到观众爱上这个情节，因为这种设置既让人撕心裂肺，又让人爱不释手。

　　When Kevin Smith signed on to direct an episode of “The Flash,” chances are the cast didn’t realize just how big a fan he was. After getting introduced to the show by lifelong friend — and frequent collaborator — Jason Mewes though, how could he not?

　　“The only reason I have ‘The Flash’ job is because of him,” Smith tells Zap2it. After a lot of convincing from Mewes and a viewing of the Season 2 episode “The Fury of Firestorm,” which introduced King Shark into the world, Smith became a devoted fan of the series.

　　“I really fell in love with it,” he says. “That show reads very much like the ‘Flash’ comic book I read in the late ’80s and early ’90s functioned. Each episode plays like a standalone issues and has the same heart, humor and spectacle that the comics had.”

　　“When I’m not doing comedy, the thing I’m most adept at is emotional shit.”

　　That emotion will be on full display one week after Barry (Grant Gustin) seemingly disintegrated while trying to get his speed back.

　　“You see that Barry’s mom in the episode and that always raises that show to the best level it can be — whenever they introduce Nora (Michelle Harrison) and whenever they do Barry and Nora stuff,” he explains. “The Season 1 finale was one of my favorite hours of TV ever produced. I cracked the script that Zack wrote and it’s pretty much a spiritual sequel to the Season 1 finale with the mom stuff.”

　　So while Smith won’t guarantee you’ll cry watching Barry and his mom interact, the possibility is definitely there.

　　“We have a chance to slice open the chest of the viewer, pull out their heart and eat it right in front of them. And watch them love it, because it’s so heartbreakingly good,” he says.
