The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 3

^ He's already been revealed as the RF, so that has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not he'll be a series regular come Season 2.

 

[SpideyVille]

What I mean is revealed in the sense of Barry and the gang finding out. I'm really curious to see how things would change when the "leader" and brains behind the group is no longer around.

 

[Mister J]

Enter Emil Hamilton?

Too dark to see any proper details, but it looks like they went with the pants and jacket look again.

Should he ever get an update on the show, I hope they'll look at the Tron outfits.

Thanks for the clarification. Even if Wells goes away for a bit after Barry and Co. learn he's the RF (provides they do), I can't really see him not remaining a series regular even if he's not in every episode. We'll see what happens, though.

You know, unless Barry and company end up befriending some other Rich Scientist/Entrepreneur later down the series, I wonder how things are going to change for Barry's operations once he eventually has a fallout with Dr. Wells (aka, the supposed Reverse Flash) given on how everything that they use at Star Labs is currently funded by Wells.

They prove Daddy Allen was innocent, he sues the state for millions for false arrest and becomes their new benefactor

 

[WBwins]

like this.just loose the weird facemask thing and it'd be perfect

If Daddy Allen isn't out by the next Episode, then all of them are fricking ******s. They would have several witness statements, with people confirming seeing a yellow man, that was really fast. 2 of those witnesses would be cops. Then there's obviously the video footage they would have of his capture. What more proof do they need?

 

[Bren]

Stranger (dumber) things have happened....
Personally I love his mask.

 

[godisawesome]

All the evidence from the case is gone, and both RF and Flash are only confirmed (in the public's mind) as of a few weeks ago.

As close as both speedsters resemble Barry and Henry's testimony, that's still a gap of almost twenty years between "crazy and laughably weak alibi" and "actual threat witnessed by two living cops after most of a task force is dead."

All it would really take is a stubborn judge or district attorney who wants absolute proof before he releases Henry Allen. The justice system has had bigger miscarriages of justice when it comes to having the wrong man behind bars.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nice, I hadn't actually seen Firestorm's updated design. That thing is awesome and could look really cool onscreen... though I'm not sure it's possible on a TV budget.

I think Cisco and Caitlin will be able to takeover and handle everything after Wells is eventually exiled from the group. Where they'll get money, I do not know.

Cisco and Caitlin need jobs, though.

 

[SlamAdams]

Is Harrison Wells running STAR Labs or is he just one of their top men?

I'm glad you brought that up, because I've been wondering who's been paying the bills at STAR Labs and how/why Cisco and Caitlyn spend so much time there when they aren't (to my understanding) being paid for it.

 

[Dark Raven]

Ray Palmer should take over Star labs. First of all, he has the money to fund it. Second, it would allow him to become the Atom and show off his powers on this show, and Felicity would be able to vouch for him. Third, Palmer is the one who wanted to call Starling City "Star City", so Star labs would fit right in with his expansion plan. Fourth, it would give Brandon Routh a proper role on one of these shows instead of just tinkering around in the background and flirting with Felicity.

 

[SlamAdams]

They're volunteering at STAR Labs? I assume they have some kind of funding or income for the facilities.

 

[The Shape]

Technically, there is no "Star Labs" anymore. The Flash crew are just working out of the shell building and using it as their base of operations, with Wells likely funding all their research and continuing to pay the bills to keep the power on.

It's natural to assume that after the explosion, a multitude of payoffs and settlements were made out to the victims, families, of victims, and former employees who were suddenly out of work due to this incident. These payoffs likely used up the last of the money that the company itself had, but Harrison Wells himself surely remained wealthy and now that we know he is the Reverse Flash, it's safe to say he has the ability to get money however he wants. He could just run to California, rob a bank, and be back in the lab in under a minute.

As for Cisco and Caitlin, since they have a close relationship with Wells and have become an integral part of Team Flash (along with losing their "jobs" due to the accident), it's safe to say that Wells is compensating them for their time and doing whatever he can to keep them afloat. Because he's such a "nice" guy and all.

 

[Boy Scout]

Yeah, that makes sense.

GENERAL EILING BACK

Spoiler

Maybe it's just the lighting, but the suit looks brighter.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Bumples for discussion purposes

Eddie is Reverse-Flash. Wells just needs someone to hate Flash enough to destroy him. Iris leaves Eddie, Eddie loses his job somehow and finds out Barry is Flash leading to his hatred towards him.

The reason RF didn't harm Eddie is because Eddie is RF - hence that moments gaze at himself.

 

[SpideyVille]

Eddie kinda seems like Barry's version of Eddie Brock. I feel like that's the process they're going to use to turn him bad.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

maybe Cisco and Catlin will join Mercury lab? their resume is probably good enough to join.
