Editor’s note: One in a series of stories marking the 100th day of the WGA strike.
Over the last 100 days, thousands of WGA members took to the streets of major American cities to show solidarity in their pursuit for a fair deal with the major studios. Over that time, striking writers have had to navigate the weather — including, rain, heat and smoke from the Canadian wild fires — issues of physical and mental fatigue, as well as some studios making it damn-near difficult to picket.
There have been unforeseen obstacles and dangers too — who could have predicted that a producer would slam his car breaks within a few feet of striking writers? Or that an unknown employee would order trees to be trimmed right where picketers march?
Here are five incidents or controversies that picketers have had to deal with since May 2.

Update: The WGA has shared a statement with Variety regarding the incident. Please read below.
“Workers should not be threatened with physical harm when exercising their right to publicly protest and picket against unfair wages and working conditions. Anyone who harms or threatens to harm a member or supporter of the Writers Guild on a picket line should be held responsible for their actions. The WGA is working closely with members who were endangered during this incident to hold this individual accountable.”
“Bmf” producer Ian Woolf is under investigation amid reports that he attempted to threaten and intimidate picketing writers in Georgia, where the third season of “Bmf” is currently in production.
“We take acts of intimidation and threats of violence seriously and investigate them thoroughly. As we continue to investigate, we have sent home the individual involved,” said a Lionsgate rep in a statement to Variety.

Starz and Lionsgate have suspended producer Ian Woolf from the drama series “Bmf” following an alleged altercation with two striking Writers Guild of America writers in Atlanta on Thursday.
According to a series of tweets posted by WGA member Brian Egeston and strike captain Gabriel Alejandro Garza, the pair were on a public sidewalk, not impeding traffic, when Woolf pointed an SUV he was driving toward Egeston “as though it were a weapon and slammed the breaks within six feet of writers.”
Garza said that Woolf looked directly at him as he “hit the accelerator one more time, followed by the brakes, and skid even closer to us.” According to the pair, Woolf said that he was trying to scare them. Garza noted that they have a recording of Woolf’s explanation.

A day of picketing the set of the Starz/Lionsgate series Bmf in Atlanta turned dangerous for WGA writers Brian Egeston and Gabriel Alejandro Garza. In a series of tweets Thursday afternoon, accompanied by photos, Egeston claimed that Bmf line producer Ian Woolf, driving an SUV, pointed the vehicle at him “as though it were a weapon and slammed the brakes within six feet of writers.”
Egeston’s account was corroborated by Garza, a strike captain, who said that he was standing next to Egeston when the alleged incident happened and described it in a lengthy statement on Twitter Thursday evening. Garza claimed that he and Egeston were on a public sidewalk, not impeding traffic, when Woolf allegedly hit the accelerator and then by the brake as “he was looking directly at us the entire time and kept the vehicle pointed at us.”

A producer on the Starz/Lionsgate drama Bmf has been suspended from the 50 Cent-produced series after clashing with striking writers outside the show’s Atlanta set.
“We take acts of intimidation and threats of violence seriously and investigate them thoroughly. As we continue to investigate, we have sent home the individual involved,” a Lionsgate rep said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
The alleged incident occurred Thursday afternoon in Georgia, where Bmf (as in Black Mafia Family) was in production on the third season of the series based on the lives of two brothers who founded an influential crime organization in 1980s Detroit. Writer Brian Egeston, who documented the alleged incident on Twitter, claims Bmf’s Ian Woolf sped toward him and other writers in his SUV and stopped short in what he dubbed as an “intimidation” tactic.

The CW has released several photos from the upcoming seventeenth episode of The Flash season 6 that tease a major discovery for Team Flash and a confrontation between Barry and Iris.
Shutdowns in Hollywood and across the television industry due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant that shows like The Flash couldn’t continue production unabated. As such, the crew announced that instead of the planned season finale, which would feature the return of Eobard Thawne in a cliffhanger ending, the current season will end on episode 19 and feature another twist.
At this point, we’re just glad to get an ending at all after this fixer-upper of a season, even if it’s a rushed and inconclusive one. With the novel coronavirus pandemic winding through the United States and several European epicenters like a hot knife through butter, there’s no telling when the studios can resume work on their ongoing projects.

We’ve been without new episodes of The Flash for about a month now, so fans are ecstatic that this coronavirus-imposed hiatus of the show is about to end next Tuesday. However, as we’re nearing the tail-end of season 6, it’s not like these upcoming episodes will be all fun and laughter for our heroes. Take this newly released synopsis for the season’s 17th installment, for instance, which offers an ominous tease for the future of Barry and Iris’ marriage.
Episode 6×17 is titled “Liberation,” which gives the impression that the real Iris will finally escape from the Mirrorverse she’s been trapped in for all of season 6B with Eva McCulloch. However, though you might expect this to be a joyous occasion, it looks like the return of actual Iris causes Barry and Iris to question their relationship.

When you take into consideration how many villains The Flash has adapted from DC Comics lore during the past five seasons, it’s actually kind of difficult thinking what territory there’s left to explore. With Godspeed expected to debut soon enough, Mob Rule is really the only major box the series may have left to check off.
Then again, there’s no law stating that evildoers who’ve already appeared on the show can’t come back for more. In fact, we now have confirmation that Caitlin Snow’s father, the Icicle, will return in a matter of weeks during “Snow Pack.” Here’s the official synopsis for that one:
Icicle Returns — When Icicle (guest star Kyle Secor) returns to enact the next phase of his devious plan, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) and her mother, Dr. Carla Tannhauser (guest star Susan Walters), must resolve their long-combative relationship to defeat the icy monster.

So far, this season of The Flash has seen Sherloque Wells prove to be a most valuable ally in the ongoing war with Cicada. Not only has his impressive intellect helped the team at Star Labs in a variety of situations, but he’s also getting to the bottom of whatever’s been going on with Nora West-Allen and Eobard Thawne.
While the latest Harrison Wells’ doppelganger we’ve met has thus far lived up to being the best detective in the multiverse, there’s one area in which he hasn’t had much luck – and that’s love. In fact, the guy has confessed to having been married seven times, two of which were to the same woman.
Well, those who’ve wanted to meet those lucky (?) ladies will soon get their chance when Kimberly Williams-Paisley debuts as Renee Adler during next week’s episode, “Goldfaced.” What’s also...

If anything could be said about the current season of The Flash, it’d certainly be that it’s a family affair. From the opening moments of last fall’s premiere, Nora West-Allen has been a constant presence on the show, causing Barry and Iris to forge a relationship with their daughter from the future without notice. And interestingly enough, they didn’t require much of a learning curve, allowing for this new dynamic to bring even more heart to a series that was chock full to begin with.
In recent weeks, however, the trio have had to deal with some grueling hardships. If you’re current on the latest happenings, then seeing Nora getting her back broken by Cicada is still fresh in your memory. And if that weren’t enough, she got lost inside the mind of the big bad’s niece, forcing her parents to go in after her earlier this week.

Now that we know Batman exists within the Arrowverse – albeit as someone who’s been missing for three years – it seems like the producers behind these shows are free to drop references to his supporting characters following the incredible “Elseworlds” crossover. In fact, The Flash‘s midseason premiere even contained a Batmobile Easter egg.
If you tuned in for last night’s episode, “Memorabilia,” then you were witness to one of the Dark Knight’s craziest foes being name-dropped. But if you didn’t, we’ll sum up the details for you right now.
Basically, when Sherloque Wells introduced the technology capable of entering somebody’s mind to Team Flash, he revealed that it also aided him in his past battle with Jervis Tetch Aka the Mad Hatter – and on Earth-221, no less. I guess now that the concept of infinite Earths has been introduced, the producers are no longer...

It wasn’t that long ago when speculation of a Green Lantern villain appearing in the thirteenth episode of The Flash‘s current season began swirling. Once it was announced that said adventure would be titled “Goldfaced,” it forced those familiar with more obscure DC villains to think we’d soon be introduced to a live action version of, well, Goldface.
As of right now, the jury’s still out on that one, but what we can share are a number of freshly released photos promoting that very episode. In fact, they hint at some of Central City’s greatest heroes having to make some morally questionable decisions.
Once you begin perusing the gallery below, you’ll quickly notice that, yes, Barry Allen and Ralph Dibny are going undercover in the criminal underworld in order to get their hands on a device that may aid in the battle against Cicada.

Throughout the years, the Arrowverse has flirted with Green Lantern lore, but it’s yet to formally introduce any sort of ringslinger into the fold. Seeing as how this is one of the few major boxes the DC TV shared continuity has yet to check off, one would hope that it be achieved before long. After all, the recent “Elseworlds” crossover heavily suggested that John Stewart is the Earth-90 doppelganger of John Diggle, so hopefully we can meet that fella down the line.
Until then, though, an obscure villain of Hal Jordan’s may soon make his way to The Flash – or, at least, that’s what the synopsis for “Goldfaced” is forcing people to believe. Here, take a look for yourself and then formulate your own opinion:

If you tuned in for tonight’s episode of The Flash, then you certainly got all you could’ve asked for and more. In addition to Caitlin Snow’s father showing up and establishing himself as the Arrowverse’s version of the Icicle just as we suspected he would, we also learned of her true origins as Killer Frost. And if that weren’t enough, daddy also dropped the names of two other major “cold villains” from the DC Universe, those being Louise Lincoln (another Killer Frost from the comics) and Victor Fries!
When it came to Cicada, though, the team inched ever closer to uncovering his identity. But if we have anything to learn from the first trailer promoting next week’s episode, “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” the big bad just might get to the Scarlet Speedster and his buddies first.

Even if some of the biggest mysteries confounding viewers of The Flash end up being solved within the next few weeks, there’s still much we can look forward to before the winter hiatus arrives. In fact, the network has been generous enough to release images and a synopsis relevant to the Thanksgiving episode.
Oddly enough, said offering won’t arrive until the week following Turkey Day, but we’re still going to receive a hearty helping of Team Flash enjoying each other’s company while stuffing their faces. Of course, there’ll be more to the episode than just that, though a full hour of watching them eat would be a bold move made by the producers.

Nickelodeon has selected five participants for its 19th annual Writing Program, including the program’s first preschool-specific finalist. Based in Burbank, the year-long program allows aspiring television writers worldwide to hone their skills writing for both live-action and animated shows, network with executives and show creators, and gain access to workshops, seminars, classes, and real-world writers’ rooms. The new preschool-focused writing path is a modified six-month program, similar to the international track introduced in 2014.
“Nickelodeon is thrilled to welcome this next group of creative minds and storytellers into the program,” said Sherley Ibarra, director of the Nickelodeon Writing Program. “The expansion to include a preschool-focused writing track displays our commitment to finding and growing new talent in a space where Nickelodeon remains the top destination for kids.”

With each passing year, it seems like we’ve come to expect for Tom Cavanagh to give yet another take on Harrison Wells. After his initial attempt – the Reverse-Flash – met its (first) demise all the way back in season 1’s finale, the show’s sophomore year saw the actor stick around as Earth-2’s Harry Wells. Then, Earth-19’s H.R. Wells graced TV screens in season 3, before Harry came back for the latest run following the death of his replacement.
If you’ve been keeping up on The Flash, then you’re well aware of how Harry’s intellect began deteriorating due to over-usage of his replica Thinking Cap. Thankfully, though, Marlize DeVoe was able to somewhat reverse the effects during May’s finale, thus restoring his mental faculties but with one notable difference: Harry is no longer a genius.

After wow’ing us all with one hell of a premiere last week (you can check out our review here), you could say the sky’s the limit for what The Flash can do in its fifth season. The hit DC show may have had its highs and lows just as any series does, sure, but it truly seems as if it’s once again managed to capture lightning in a bottle.
Of course, everybody’s likely still reeling after seeing that awesome poster for the “Elseworlds” crossover, but it’s important we not lose sight of what’ll go down before then. In fact, we’re going to talk about what’s on tap for next week right now, as the video up above teases what’s to come in the ominously titled “The Death of Vibe.”

To date, The CW have done a stellar job when it comes to assembling great ensemble casts. And if you require a fine example of this, one need not look any further than The Flash. Really, after excelling at its game for four seasons, it’s probably safe to say that it’s hard to imagine the show without core actors Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin.
Well, later this month, it’s very possible that we’ll have to part ways with one stalwart favorite, that being Valdes’ Cisco Ramon. But before we speculate any further, let’s check out the synopsis for the ominously titled “The Death of Vibe”:
Cicada Targets A Member Of Team Flash — After Cicada’s (Chris Klein) attack on The Flash (Grant Gustin), the team realizes they need to think outside the box to stop this dangerous new foe.

To me, there’s just something wrong about whenever a villain violates the sanctity of a superhero’s home base. Really, whenever Ra’s al Ghul or the Joker have crashed the Batcave, or when Lex Luthor set foot in the Fortress of Solitude, it just seemed like such a perversion that’d cause excitement knowing the story would be taken to unexpected places.
In the case of The Flash, it’s already happened with the series’ previous big bads – the Reverse-Flash, Zoom and Savitar – in addition to several other foes of lesser importance, but it feels no less shocking to see Clifford DeVoe Aka the Thinker showing up uninvited at Star Labs.
We already knew that Team Flash will be taking the fight to him next week, but one of the images included in the gallery below shows DeVoe’s latest vessel poking around what we normally think of as being a safe zone.

Say what you want about the idea of Iris West temporarily becoming a speedster, but I personally felt that the most recent episode to have aired ended up being one of season 4’s better outings. Not only that, but Harry Wells seemingly turned the tide in the war against the Thinker by crafting a “thinking cap” of his own.
But no matter if you have gripes or praise to voice, I think we can all lament the hiatus The Flash is currently enduring. Actually, this has been something we’ve unfortunately had to get used to this season when it comes to a variety of CW series. But, on the plus side, it’ll soon be over.
Speaking of which, expect the ongoing feud with Clifford DeVoe to heat up not long after the saga resumes, as the official synopsis for “Lose Yourself” has this to offer:

Much like the currently incarcerated Barry Allen, I’m trying to retain my sense of optimism. Really, after The Flash seemingly got back on track after starting off its fourth season with a handful of farcical episodes, Clifford DeVoe decides to take a vacation for a few weeks and our titular hero remains behind bars with no immediate light at the end of the tunnel. I’m being 100% serious when I say that the writing this year makes Arrow season 4 look as good as iZombie season 3 by comparison.
Still, some hope remains because a fresh batch of images released ahead of next week’s episode, “True Colors,” show Barry possibly being free of Iron Heights very shortly. Yes, escaping with various other metahumans being sold to Katee Sackhoff’s Amunet may make him a fugitive, but at least it’d make the show feel exciting again.

I think it’s safe to say that the midseason premiere of The Flash caught many of us Arrowverse fans off-guard. Sure, Barry Allen being on trial for the “murder” of Clifford DeVoe was enough of a shock in itself, but who among you actually expected him to be convicted?
Well, from the sound of it, seeing the Scarlet Speedster behind bars is something we’re going to have to get used to for the foreseeable future. Fortunately for the citizens of Central City, Ralph Dibny is expected to step up in a big way, but it’s kind of funny that Wally West hopped on over to Legends of Tomorrow at the most inopportune time. Really, Team Flash could use someone with his talents right about now.
Still, there’s much to look forward to on the horizon as geek royalty Katee Sackhoff will soon make her return to the series.
