This is a Cisco Ramon appreciation post. I love you & miss you. You deserved so much better in the flash finale than a scribbled mention on a cortex whiteboard.
Cisco crying because Caitlin flatlined and then Julian tore off her necklace which restricts her powers even though she said she'd rather die than be Killer Frost and Julian said I don't care because he loves her and Cisco is sobbing fidgeting with her necklace... that's cinema babeyyy
Me: No, Eddie. If the whole gang was here, there would be iconic Team Flash members, like Killer Frost and Vibe. But we are stuck with half of the team being poor replacements nobody cares for, and we have to deal with it.
Caitlin's ending is what I like to call "open to interpretation!"
and she's NOT in the future storyline's team Flash so I take that as a sign that she went to go live in Star City to be with Cisco and had a thriving career and full and fulfilled personal life and became close friends with Dinah and Felicity and Emiko and Thea and Laurel.
can we talk about how the demodogs ate portions of Dr. Owens in S2 and he miraculously survived, nowhere near a hospital, or how Dr. Brenner got LEAPED ON by the DEMOGORGON in S1 and he miraculously survived, nowhere near a hospital, BUT S4 WHEN EDDIE MUNSON GETS SWARMED BY SOME DEMOBATS, NOWHERE NEAR A HOSPITAL-
So while I'm trying to decide if S9 is worth tuning into, I've seen enough spoilers about what happened to Caitlin to have a general idea of what's going on
and...
did she really basically kill and replace herself in a failed attempt to get Frost back?
there was a time when the not-Caitlin-but-not-Frost character was literally set up by the plot and that was the end of S3 and they're going that route now???
But, more importantly... who is going to tell Cisco? I mean, they are going to tell him, right? I realize he's not on the show and it doesn't sound like they're gonna have Carlos back to guest star thus far, but... Caitlin and Cisco love each other. They're family to each other.
I am also a Cisco Ramon enjoyer btw (on Season 4 though so that may change, although I'll probably blame anything that would lower my opinion of him on the writers anyway)
YAY!!
and season 4, just…..no
i blame the writers as well
they’re trying to spice shit up and they picked the wrong ways to do that
Cisco is allegedly not in the finale due to scheduling conflicts— And this is on par with his attitude at the comic con like the air was SO uncomfy when he got that question. I’m obviously sad it’s super sad but at least it means I can decide whatever future for Cisco I want and when I spoke to Carlos he agreed Ramon Industries was both in our imagined future for Cisco. My blog title lives on! 🫡
Out of Time is by far the best Flash episode to watch reaction videos for (not if it's a rewatch though; gotta get someone seeing it for the first time), and this video specifically just may be the best Flash reaction video of all time.
