The Flash in the Media

I think Candice preferred to be standing with the people on the right side of the pic, tbh.

Yeah, for instance, Grant is tall, but I’d think they’d still find a way to get him closer to the cake. 

It’d be nice to have a Westallen/Flash family picture, but I think what we’ve been seeing on screen is a bigger indicator of what’s important to the show.

There's already an official photo though

I doubt they put as much thought into positioning as the fandom does who will find the tiniest thing to exploit.

Oh, I wouldn't put anything past Panafaker.

Maybe, but the whole OTF vs others is already there for the snowflakes. This just adds. Plus she's no issue with the three men on the other side.

I know (and I love that picture) but I meant from the party. It’s not a big deal.

[Trini]

The group pic looks fine. I can can see everyone's faces; all the important people are there (except Jesse L. Martin).

Until they started cutting it, I didn't even realize that that WAS a cake they were standing around!

They should have at least gone with red.

I hope we get some good quotes from Grant; I could use some juicy spoilers!

Some nice portraits of the cast at TV Guide:

[Starry]

I wasn't expecting duo or trio pics but it's ridiculous that they didn't take a cast pic on the red carpet. The only group pic they took was with Grant and the higher-ups.

The pic with the cake looks bad whichever way you look at it. There's no balance. It's either the fake OTF on one side while the others stay on the other side. Or all the black people on one side with Hartley as the only white man. Or all the women on one side while DP stays with the guys. Or all the original, pilot cast members on one side with Candice being the only original cast member left with the newbies.

Even without all that, it looks crammed. It would have been better if they stood in a semi-circle around the cake but because of the huge lightning bolt they couldn't do it. And what's sad is that this is the only cast pic we have. They managed to get photo booth pics with the SOs and nothing with the cast. Meh.

FlashTVNews also has a few short red carpet interviews with the cast from the 100th Episode celebration: Candice, Carlos, Danielle N., Danielle P., and Chris Klein.

[Trini]

And Grant's comments on the 100th:

[adora721]

Collider's article is really good; my favorite part: "Series lead Grant Gustin (Barry Allen/The Flash) was first in line, with his beautiful leading lady Candice Patton (Iris West-Allen) by his side. " Take that deniers that the show has a female lead, who is Candice Patton!

 

There's even a picture of Michelle Harrison (Nora Allen) at the party; it would have been great to have Michelle take a picture with Jessica.

'The Flash boss breaks down the latest Killer Frost twist'

Quote

“In previous seasons, her becoming Killer Frost was always motivated by some emotional response, but we wanted to sort of move in a direction where it became more symbiotic, where she could call upon Killer Frost whenever she needed her or sometimes just to talk,” says Helbing in the video above.

...

“She gets to learn about this whole side of herself and her childhood. That’s like having a twin who you didn’t know about and then comes back into your life, and you’re able to learn things about yourself that you’d never know,” says Helbing.

... “The Evolution of Killer Frost” is a special feature that will be available in full via digital retailers with the purchase of The Flash Season 5 Season Pass on Thursday.

'The Flash Cast Talked to Us About the Importance of Representation and Their 100th Episode'

Quote

Playing the role of Cisco Ramon had a slightly different affect on Carlos Valdes, who became aware of the impact of portraying a Latinx character only after the show began:

“When I first started doing the show and I started hearing from people what a positive thing it was to see someone like me up on TV screen, I didn’t know how to respond to it. It was sort like a responsibly I didn’t ask for … Over time, I started realizing just how important this is.

“I used to be very naïve going up, I used to think that I could play any role that I wanted to … As I got older, I found that the way that I look is a literal limitation to what I can do as an actor. And so, I think … playing this character over the last five years has definitely been a growing experience, a learning experience, insofar as learning how to accept and embrace the importance of what it is I’m doing.”

I know more stuff will come out the the week of, but I'm still surprised at how little press there's been about the upcoming 100th, and in general the changes in this season.

There's been relatively little hype about the 100th episode, I hope there's more in the week:

'The Flash's 100th Episode Will Reveal a Touching Westallen Moment' (quotes from Candice and Jessica) -- TV Guide doesn't actually tell what moment, but I'm wondering if it's something new, or something we've seen already but from another perspective?

Interview with Tom Cavanagh about the 100th episode: https://ew.com/tv/2018/12/03/flash-100th-episode-tom-cavanagh/

Quote

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Barry traveled to the future in the first episode you directed, and this time around you’re jumping through the timeline. What was it like having to juggle all of the time periods?

TOM CAVANAGH: First off, it’s fun. This is a comic book essentially and when you open up pages to the comic book, you kind of expect there to be spectacle and entertainment and it vibes away from sort of a procedural bent. I think the people that like the Flash enjoy that. For this one, it was revisiting some of the things that we’ve done, but with a different perspective. What that means practically is you have to recreate some things, you have to invent new things, you have to have new angles, and you have to find ways to incorporate some of the footage that we’ve already used in an organic way from different perspectives.

[With this episode], I think the biggest challenge is, is it good? I think that’s a huge thing people forget some times. Yes, we’re honoring whatever we’re honoring any time a television has to touch on a benchmark, be it a series finale or somebody’s death, or a season finale, but is it good? Is it entertaining? Is it fun to watch? Does it grip you? That was one of the important things — that we tell a clean story that doesn’t complicate things too much, that we don’t try and give too many nods to too many things in the past because we don’t want to muddy up the waters. I think we came up with a very streamlined script that has a really good pace and moves along. As we near the end of it, it’s like four or five scenes near the end that could very well be standalone episode-ending [and] season-ending scenes if they wanted to be, and we tend to pile one on after the next. Our last scene is one of the more epic things, because of the content, that we’ve ever shot when you talk about it from a comic book perspective, so it was an honor to be the person putting it on screen.

Quote

... In revisiting her father’s history with these villains, Nora “finds out things about her dad that she certainly didn’t know because they weren’t in the Flash museum,” Jessica Parker Kennedy shares, “and things that she doesn’t necessarily like about her father, stuff that’s made her very uncomfortable — which is important. To get to know someone, you have to know the good about them and the bad about them as well.” Ultimately, the revealing time-trip brings father and daughter “a little closer,” Gustin says.
