CW's Flash

Start a riot.

It's the Only Way to Be Sure.

The public believes Harrison Wells is (a) in a wheelchair, and (b) dead. Most people are gonna dismiss any guy they see alive and walking around as obviously not Harrison Wells. There is a risk that someone will recognize him and think to probe further, but unlike HR, Harry isn't much for socializing, so the risk is small.

Didn't we already do this Harry? Last time someone brought it up Harry told them he wasn't the same person and it was dropped.

I mean that was just patty. and they insisted the HR would get arrested or worse if he left STAR looking like himself. I mean, I know the writers were clearly just using that as a way to foreshadow the faces swapper and then hoped we'd forget it mattered. (like they do with virtually every plotpoint I enjoy. frankly the fact that ammunet and her black market has showed up more than once is a damn miracle )

Again, though, HR was a guy who wanted to go to movies in the park, romance hot scientists, and eventually get his book published. He was gonna be exposing himself to outside eyes a lot more than Harry, who seems content to just stay in his lab unless there's a specific task that needs doing.

Harry, who literally walks into a police station, which is a place more people would go " oh shit it's you" whereas in a crowd someone might go " oh hey isn't that that guy?" and their friend would be like " isn't that guy dead? i don't think so" " no it really looks like him" " dude you're high"

just sayin. harry's the only one who got recognized and shot. and he was just walking to his car. harry needs the face scrambler too.

He also got kidnapped because of it that one time. Which adds to the point of bad things happening to Harry without the device.

They should kept it away from him forever.

I’ll just justify it to myself by saying that Joe has told SCPD that Star Labs is now owned by Well’s estranged identical twin, so SCPD know that the Wells they see walking around isn’t the one that confessed to murder.

That would be rather low on the list of crazy things going on in that city. Though Barry is the owner of Star Labs; it's been implied a few times that he's relatively rich now.

he's got to be paying for that loft somehow. and all the burgers.

Is it public knowledge that Barry is the owner, if they’re trying to keep that quiet saying that it’s Harry kills two birds with one stone.

I would imagine it's not public public knowledge.

Since otherwise one of the other cops or Singh probably would have commented on it.

You know, they'll avoid it cause of budget issues probably.

But attacking Barry though cutting off his finances somehow would probably be a really effective route for De Voe.

And he's clearly smart enough to, I don't know, learn a method (hacking, finding a law to get massive fines levied due to Eobards actions, ect), in very little time.

Ah, but that would require the writers to remember information they gave us once way back at the start of season 2.

also I wrote a thing about Becky Sharpe

Iris first official look in costume[1]

Is that a reference to something?

This reminds me of that time Lois got Clark's powers in Smallville because Jor-El wanted to teach Clark what Lois has to deal with when she's with him, or something. The comedy of this of course is that Jor-El, being a computer program, somehow has the ability/technology to just rip Clark's powers away and transfer them into somebody else.

Wait is this new meta part-bus or something? Are we fighting metahumans who have fused with vehicles now? How does this show's budget not allow for a CGI Savitar but they can still afford half-man, half-bus metahumans?

...I guess that's not the worst explanation for a power-swap I've heard. Mainly because I don't know what Melting Pot is like in the comics and can't say if this is an accurate portrayal or not.

It's only logical. It's not like there's any other West family member with superspeed to pick up the slack while Barry's in jail.

At least now they're going to have an excuse to not use Wally, since he'll be on Legends. And apparently he was in China... meditating? For some reason? That scene worked fine in Legends because we don't really need much context for what he's been up to on another show, but in the context of Flash, I'd like to know why he apparently decided to wander off to "find himself" or whatever instead of helping his family while his mentor is in jail.

So...I guess it's safe to assume that this is basically Iris' season. I'm completely fine with that because I'm loving her character this season (fight me) but it's interesting that they chose Iris of all people to give more character development than the actual superheroes of the show.

Hey, it prevents the show about the Flash from getting taken over by Vibe or Elongated Man.

Though I will never get over how criminally they handled Wally

we're in no danger of it getting taken over by vibe. the writers haven't let him do jack shit this season. Ralph, on the other hand... why do the writers kill everyone i love but let him and harry wander around being fawned over. ugh.

Can't stop the Wells-train.

Even if you kill a Wells three more will take his place.

There's only 52 Wellses though. 50 now. Maybe 49? What happened to Supergirl's Wells?

statistically, eventually we'll get a wells who isn't a sociopath. or at least one who isn't rude to cisco. so far we've seen Adorawells who was murdered (eobard is not a wells and doesn't count) Harry the dick, HR the ignorant-but-well-intentioned, the sexjoke jerk, the german jerk, the canibal jerk, and the wizard who may have been decent. so like... two out of 6/7... not bad. we must be due for another not terrible wells soon.

I vote Wells the Grey so we can finally learn if he's a real wizard or a cosplayer.
