^That's a rediculous statement. You don't truly believe a character who's never spoken and appeared in only a handful of episodes would provoke the fan response Wally's death has, do you?

Wally not appearing much in season two doesn't erase the connection made in season one. Granted it's not got the impact killing any of the other five "originals" would likely have had, but who other than those five could have provoked as a big a reaction? Blue Beetle, perhaps, and maybe Impulse. An iconic character like Batman or Supes would certainly provoke a 'WTF?!' but not as big an emotional reaction.

The only people your argument applies to are people who never watched season one.
