The Flash - Season 1

[Guy Gardener]

An actor confirming something at a convention?

1. He's telling secrets he is not allowed to/not supposed to tell.

2. He's repeating what he's been told to say verbatim as part of a marketing stratagem that could involve misdirection.

3.Tom is lying.

4. He is drawing his own conclusions making claims that he believes are true that might not be.

5. He has told a truth, that the producers have enough lead time to turn into a lie because they don't want to have the ending of their story a foregone conclusion and public knowledges months before they made planed for that to happen.

Spoiler: Flash

Whatever connection Eddie ends up having to Reverse Flash lore from the comics, it's not going to be that he's another version of that character because, as per Cavanagh, there is only one Reverse Flash in the series.

Spoiler: Flash

But is there also a Zoom?

 

[Guy Gardener]

If the Reverse Flash is Zoom, then the NonReverse Flash is Mooz.

A Cow themed CAPE?

It sounds as if you have a misunderstanding about the venue at which this information was delivered. Cavanagh made the comments he made during the TCA's Winter Press Tour. I would also like to point out that press notes handed ou prior to the start of The CW's panel listed Harrison Wells and Reverse Flash as one and the same.

A Cow themed CAPE?

Bat cow.

Flashes don't do capes.

 

[Christopher]

I still want to call the Reverse Flash the Hsalf.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Hsalfeth is easier on the mouth. Less of an abrupt stop at the end.

Sounds Anglo-Saxon.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Shit.

"hsalfeht"

Nope. That sucks.

Hsalf works best.

Spoiler: Hsalf

I don't see how Cavanagh's statement has to mean that there's only one Reverse Flash; it's not exclusive to say "Wells is the man in the yellow suit." But Zoom would work too (though Wells has been more of a "Zoom-like" character so far if you ask me, working to make the Flash a better hero).

 

[DigificWriter]

Cavanagh actually using the words "There is only one Reverse Flash" is about as straightforward as it gets. I don't see how people can find any ambiguity in that.

 

[Thestral]

Ah, that must have come from elsewhere than the Yahoo article.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Because the yahoo article had a producer say that there was more than one Reverse Flash.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ If you're referring to Andrew Kreisberg's cryptic comment about seeing the night Nora Allen died from the Reverse Flash's perspective rather than Harrison Wells', said comment does not in any way automatically mean that there's more than one character using the Reverse Flash suit running around.

 

[Guy Gardener]

No?

What Kestrel calls "the original Yahoo article" is the link at the top of page 66 and maybe it's not the original article or maybe it is, but it's certainly the first link supplied in this thread.

More information has come out since then, but some of us don't even want to know about the "original yahoo article".

This is the snippet that's been obvious since the pilot and why there may be more than one Reverse Flash eventually or now.

Spoiler

But is he the only one? Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg hinted that another person may be involved in the Reverse Flash mythology—namely Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett). Fans have speculated that Eddie (whose name resembles Eobard Thawne, one of the Reverse Flash's aliases in the comics on which the series is based) will become the Reverse Flash. "His name is not an accident," Kreisberg said. "Eddie's connection to the Reverse Flash lore is going to pay off big time in the back half of the year."

Producers lie. Actors lie. You can't keep trusting all these quasificticious spoilers you are digging up.

Well, okay, you can probably trust most of it, but it's figuring out which is the 5 percent of the total buzz that you need to take with a grain of salt that is intentionally misleading that is confusing.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ Kreisberg's comment on that score could mean any number of things. Eddie's connection to Reverse Flash lore doesn't automatically mean he's going to end up being a different version of that character from the Wells version.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Yes?

Producers lie. You can't trust them.

Sounds too close to Hasselhoff.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Don't Hsal the feth!

IGN has a longer article about what was said at the Press Tour. The article also ends with this:

Spoiler: spoiler

One key ingredient to this story is the existence of time travel. When a reporter asked how it will appear in this world, Kreisberg said, "Definitely by accident. There's an unexpected, accidental time travel coming up, that is played for both hilarity and darkness. It happens in an episode we're really excited about. It's the first Weather Wizard episode with Liam McIntyre."
