Sapphire Stagg can step up?
It is unlikely that any slight was intended when they cast that guy as Java, and anyone who says different is wagging the dog.
There are no subliminal messages in our media trying to provoke race wars?
The producers. They stated it in an interview with IGN that was posted after the Pilot aired last week.
You're just jonesing because you think someone might have named a baddie after you.
The quote just says "Wells is not a character name from the comics," rather than "Wells is not a character from the comics." Also, it's a quote from the article writer, not from the actual producers, so it doesn't prove anything either way.
The IGN article directly cites Johns stating that Wells is an original character for the series even though they don't quote him.
Madrox and Multiplex are two different characters. Madrox is Marvel.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but does anyone thing that Caitlin's dead boyfriend Ronnie will turn out to be one half of Firestorm?
Another really fun and entertaining episode. And I liked how it acknowledged the fact that, despite being able to run really fast, Barry is still seriously lacking in any training and fighting skills (although if all else fails, simply slamming people into a wall at super speed does seem to work pretty well for him). I'm hoping in upcoming episodes we'll actually see him get some of that training.
"Black guy" is currently the default choice when casting a bodyguard. I wouldn't read any more into it than that.
wouldn't surprise me at all.
Bill Hicks had a gag about Reginald Denney and the LA Riots, about how Reg was never going to stop his big Mac Truck again if there's a mass of people on he road after what happened to him in LA. He's just going to roll over them. Big Mac Truck vs Pedestrian? There is absolutely no reason to be pulled from your truck and lynched by crazy people when you can turn their bones to paste by putting your foot down on the accelerator.
My point?
Why does Barry slow down to normal speed to fight?
(Quicksilver in Days of Futures past anyone?)
Also, unless (because of his aura?) he becomes proportionately more invulnerable the faster he goes, then at rest, yes Barry should be Bullet Proof and so very, very strong.
Are they going to start talking about the speed force (extradimensional energy altering the nature of real space.) soon, or is it all a physical effect still?

Well I know in the comics and cartoons they've always shown Flash having a bit of super strength to go along with the super speed, because of his stronger and denser muscles or whatever.
But ultimately I wouldn't think punching or kicking someone faster would do any more damage than punching or kicking them at normal speed. And if he goes up against a huge bodybuilder kind of villain, I would still think he'd be in over his head when using his own strength (although obviously he'd have time to find all kinds of other objects to hit the guy with).

I keep wanting to call him Billy Numerous.
It's already been announced that Robbie Amell will be playing Ronnie Raymond and Victor Garber will be playing Dr. Martin Stein.
I was thinking the same thing. When Joe was telling Barry that he wasn't qualified as a fighter, I wanted Barry to reply, "Then train me." The logical thing is for Joe to teach him how to handle himself when facing criminals.
Sure, it wasn't intentional, but my point is there are some unfortunate implications that they failed to recognize. And it could've been fixed simply by giving the guy a different name. After all, if they were just going to kill him off after two scenes, there was nothing to be gained by naming him after a recurring character from the comics.
Eh, I read The Flash comics for a run of 10 years back in the 90's and didn't recognize the reference. The number of viewers that would have picked up on it and be upset by it is vanishingly small.
Java & Stagg are attached to Metamorpho, which means (Batman and )the Outsiders is where they really call their home.
In the 90s, Justice League Europe, Sapphire Stagg actually fell in love and wound up with Java for a time.
He's a Neanderthal, and she has an IQ of 80.
Not a bad match.

He's not just punching people quickly with human strength.
Imagine a friend of yours, stuck the top half of their body out a car window, and then the car charged at you at 88 mph... And then that person with their torso and fists hanging out the window, propelled at 88 miles per hour, punches you as hard as they can as the car passes where you are standing.
Is the effect on your bare chin going to be less or greater than if this friend of yours were just standing in front of you at rest and winding up for a haymaker?
I've been waiting for news about that. I didn't know it was announced a week ago.
This bothered me too. We've already seen him dance circles around Iris with her appearing almost frozen... Perhaps he can only do it while aroused?
