CW's Flash

Are they just cutting out Wally or something? There's been no mention of him whatsoever and Iris doesn't seem to have any siblings.

They said they have plans for Wally West but he wont appear in the first season.

I think they might introduce Wally West after Barry time travels and comes back To a timeline where Iris had an older brother that fathered Wally.

That would be an odd way to handle things. I was just expecting them to introduce him as Iris's cousin or something if they wanted him to be younger than them but didn't want Iris to have siblings.

This is largely based off of the Nu52, post Flashpoint Flash, so probably. Wally appears, but most things specifically connected to him as Flash is largely removed or transferred to Barry and he has much less significance to the mythos.

Clip from "The Sound and the Fury."

Let's reference classic works of literature in our titles. It's so original.

20+ titles per season. Names gotta come from somewhere.

Never heard of it. Where's the title from?

I take it that you're not familiar with the works of Faulkner.

The Gym Leader in Johto?

-facepalm-

I am aware of his existence, not by name any of his works. Or I have heard of something he did, but not that it was he that did them.

Here you go.

Goddammit, now I can't stop imagining Pokemon Gym Leaders as famous authors.

That should be a forum game, or something.

So, would Blaine be Ernest Hemingway, or what?

Wait, Blaine's not Ernest Hemingway?

Followed the link and Faulkner took his title from Shakespere. Looks like originality is still a thing.

If anything, that proves that originality isn't really a thing.

The title originated from Macbeth, as I recall. However, "the" is an additive. The line is "...sound and fury". Anyway, it's not an uncommon practice, by any means. Some of the most famous works of literature cribbed their titles from older writings. It's just something that annoys me, in contemporary usage. I don't think that literary titles should apply to comic book villains who use sonic attacks, but de gustibus non est disputandum.

Also, Blaine is clearly Hunter S. Thompson.

@Kostya: The name may sound familiar because it's also the name of an actress who was one of the very, very few bright spots in Enterprise. Since then she's appeared in several short lived series and guest starred in several others.

So was that supposed to be the Royal Flush Gang?

This photo seems like a bad idea...

'Twas indeed the RFG.

And here I thought they disbanded. Then again, there were several RFGs in the comics, so it's likely the same case here.

Cisco's shirt in the flashback was great: "Keep Calm and Han Shot First."

I say Hathaway is Tsundere for Cisco.
