User blog:Sammm鯊/Trivia, trivia, trivia

So this blog thingy, from the description it's okay for us just treat it like a regular blog? Like, can we SWEAR?

I mean, I'm not a hardcore swearer but if I feel like ranting about wtf is wrong with an episode, or how super effing awesome an episode is, the cuss may just come out because it expresses my feelings at that moment.

So there's that.

Um, other stuff, since I actually got an account now (still confused by it's function)

Guess I'll just move whatever stuff I did on the talk page to here.

'Flame On' Triva
Um... I had a hard time figuring out where to ask this and since the talk on this page confused me even more, I'll just ask on this page and see what you admins think.

On Tony Woodward's page, there's this trivia on Iris mentioning "iron fist" and how Iron Fist is a MARVEL character; in The Flash 1x13, when the Flash faced off Firestorm (not Ronnie, but Firestorm, as in Ronnie's body but Martin's mind), the Flash said "if you could just not... Flame on."

(I'm asuming you all know this, so I'm not trying to be a know-it-all but just recounting what's on everybody's mind)


 * 'Flame on' is the catchphrase of Jonathan "Johnny" Storm aka the Human Torch(II) of the Fantastic Four, when the character literally turns into a human torch.

So um... My question is... where exactly should this trivia be put in? My ideal spot was Firestorm's page... but I don't think 'they' have a page yet? I think it should be put there because... Although the Flash clearly addressed that he was talking to Martin Stein (who was in controlled of Ronnie's body), I thought putting this on Martin's page would be weird... Same goes to putting this on Ronnie's page... I felt the comment was meant for Firestorm (Ronnie+Martin). So yeah... Or I guess we could all think the catchphrase isn't important enough to be mentioned. (I really wouldn't know, people here seems to have very different standards, so I figured I'd just throw it out there before doing any editing and then get undone.)

'The Conway Prize' Potential Trivia
I could be totally wrong and I am admitting it here right here right now, because I actually couldn't find any other critics touching this and saying it as an Easter Egg, so it could really be my untrue assumption, but please at least hear me out before you go full on and shut me down. Here goes:

In The Flash 1x13, at approximately 30 minutes into the show(on my VLC player anyways), the scene when Barry, Caitlin and Dr. Wells visited Clarissa; Dr. Wells mentioned "the Conway Prize for Scientific !@$#$#@%"(okay, I typed the last word that way because I honestly couldn't figure out what he was saying; it sounded like invenstment but that's not a word... and that's not the point (I do feel like 'advancement' is probably fitting for whatever the word should be, it just doesn't sound like it through my VLC audio))... So yeah, because I was wondering what that Prize was, since apparently Dr. Wells never won one (and he wanted to) but Martin did and even did three times. I googled it, and nothing showed up, so I figured it must be a fictional thing and was about to let it slide.... until I came across this:

Gerry Conway


 * At DC Comics, he is known for co-creating the superhero Firestorm and others.

So, I (I'm again fully admitting this is my personal speculation, since I couldn't find any other written proof) think the name of the Prize is an Easter Egg shouting out for this writer. Any thoughts? Again, I could be totally wrong, don't mind correcting me or anything, I'd love to get the fact straight.



So yeah. The second one, if anyone has any DC account or someway to ask the writers, feel free to verify it (I'm just not a person with a lot of accounts, it's such a hassle to maintain one, let alone dozens.)

'Waid Street' Trivia
I also heard it from a podcast that during 1x13, there was a cross between 52 (we all know what that was for) and Waid Street; the podcaster said Waid is to shout out Mark Waid, a talented writer who created the concept of Speed Force and made The Flash title popular again. I have no idea if this podcaster is accurate (I meant the part where Waid Street standing for Mark Waid, not on Mark Waid's achievements), so I'm putting it here instead of editing on the page.
