No Kelsey Grammer?
Nora is just not a compelling enough character to have that much narrative weight on her. |

"We will beat you" .................... after we keep skipping the chances we have had and you try and kill us again.

I also found it ironic that Barry is explaining to Nora that messing with the time-line (or whatever) always causes residual damage, when Nora's very presence in our time causes damage every second she's here.
Also, much as sitcoms of the '80s had plots they all had to do, -jury duty, cast locked in a confined space, a look-alike, -every SF show now has to do a Time Loop/"Groundhog Day" plot. |

Now we need an episode where Barry wakes up in an asylum and everyone is telling him that being the Flash is a delusion. |

If they have I don’t remember it. Just off the top of my head it’s been done on Buffy and The Magicians, but there’s kore that I can’t think of right now. |

They've beaten the formula into the ground and it grows more tedious with each passing season. It appears that a major cast member is leaving after this season... Spoiler:

Exactly what I was thinking this entire episode. I realize this is the semi-annual "let our star Grant Gustin take a break" episode where he makes a token appearance, but this show is really going down the drain with its heavy focus on Nora. I like the character and they've just gone overboard with her entire arc. They've really defanged Killer Frost. She's basically a good guy now, which is not what I wanted.

I think cutting down the members of "team Flash" would probably be for the better, other rather nearly all the "Arrowverse" shows should cut down on the "team aspect" in many ways.

Re: The Flash (S5E14) -- "Cause and XS" -- 2/12/19
While that is probably true, that character wouldn't be my first choice to leave...or my second...or my third...or my fourth....

So Cicada went to the same place every time, right? Couldn't she just show up there before he got there or something?
|
Re: The Flash (S5E14) -- "Cause and XS" -- 2/12/19
Of course she also could have gone and gotten Cecille, and they all sit there quietly for the hour, but she's not very bright.

Re: The Flash (S5E14) -- "Cause and XS" -- 2/12/19
If Nora knew everything that was going to happen why didn't they figure a way of capturing Cicada?
They're all morons. :lol: |
Re: The Flash (S5E14) -- "Cause and XS" -- 2/12/19
Why does Cicada's costume look like a Mortal Kombat cast-off?
|
Re: The Flash (S5E14) -- "Cause and XS" -- 2/12/19
Everything with Nora is awful, they’re writing her like she’s a 12 year old or mentally stunted.
Cicada and Klein are maybe the worst people on a tv show in years. |

They really need to stop dragging every villain out for the entire season.

For all her loops, the final scene was staged awkwardly ... lots of gymnastics so that what, she pushes him into his own knife? She could have tried that on loop #2 ...

I don't think Iris mentioned to anyone that Cicada saw her and she stabbed him, which would have been helpful, just leave like a bomb and camera at her office and they could end this damn arc

Watch XS flail her arms when she's supposedly "running" at superspeed. It's one of the goofiest things on tv at the moment.:lol:
