THE FLASH Showrunner Comments On What To Expect From Tonight's Season Five Finale

Barry will try to save the people but it seems Nora will try to stop somehow Thawne, it's the only way she can find some way to make amends for being played by him.

I cried.

This season sucked but that finale was the Flash at it's best.

I really miss season one of this show.

Dayum, that shit had me in tears every week that's how good it was.


It was even better than the MCU.

Oh well...

I like Nora Allen.

Where we suppose to care about Nora? Cos she turned up, pissed and moaned all season and then all she really achieved was letting Thawne out. I mean if you really look into the final scene it may have even led to the Crisis being brought forward. Really weak finale but I’m still on board will all these shows building towards Crisis on Infinite Earths. Feels like it won’t just be the yearly cross over but will be the build off all the first half of the shows with the fall out being the later half of their seasons. At least that’s what I hope for

Just found out super late that this is where the reactions to the finale were being posted.

Ralph with that save at the beginning was cool and so was the effect that the mirror gun had on him.

Cicada II's plan to travel back to the pilot of the series to release the last vial of the virus on the night the particle accelerator created metas was an interesting concept that would've fitted well with the finale’s theme, it also would have fulfilled the annual time travel aspect that each final episode has. But I think they didn’t went with it because we had already visited it in the 100th episode so it did not went further than just planning it.

Shoutout to Kamilla for making things easier for Cisco, they are a good couple. 👌 (Still miss Gypsy and him though, plus they were comic accurate)

An underrated but personally my favorite moment from the ending of the Cicada plot was how Gracie’s mind didn’t just housed the memory of her uncle as the furious Cicada that passed on her all of his hatred but as well the loving, non-meta uncle Orlin that showed her love and did his best to raise her. Thought it was brilliant that it was him who stopped Cicada from harming Nora. Cicada must've been her defense mechanism but Orlin was her consciousness and morale compass, Cicada the devil & Orlin the angel that rests on her shoulder whispering what to do. A good posthumous wrap up on Orlin's arc.

The episode references what Barry considers his legacy to be (Nora and all the time they spent with her) but it also defined Gracie's by choosing to stop the killings in taking the cure.

The final struggle against Grace was decently intense with the reveal that her shard on her head countered the cure's effect on her past self leaving them with no choice but to destroy the dagger along with her since she still had that piece from the satelite inside. Bless Cisco for the quick breach to let Barry use the mirror gun on it.

And just like that, Flash fixed his legacy (in a way) by finally and for real
stopping Cicada for good. ✌️

Thawne's scene were rewarding but it was more so when Nora rewinded time to stop him from killing the guards, Team Flash prepared a lot for both Cicada and Thawne.

The speedsters’ battle was good, been a while since we saw the speed mirages in action.

Team Flash assembling and saying “catch these hands” to Thawne was amazing, damn, they bodied him with that coordinated teamwork. Cisco once again the MVP as Vibe with all those breaches opening everywhere. And that father-daughter infinite mass punch on Thawne? I stan. 💪

Nora made the right choice in the end and the most mature one by not choosing to cheat her death. The performances there were great. Barry and Iris just went through the worst pain parents can experience and unlike in Endgame, she is gone forever. Until she is born of course, but still, that was dark.

Thawne must know about CoIEs, his wording can’t be accidental. Just like he knew the timeline would change thanks to destruction of the dagger and actually as well stopping earlier Cicada.

I liked Sherloque's farewell, but can’t help but notice that he basically exited without paying them all the money he owed to them that he spent in the 3rd episode? XD Glad he got to reunite with Irene on his Earth and that he got to live, it means that they can always bring him back for anything.

Joe looked so dapper as the new Captain of CCPD and that shot with Cecile by his side was great.

Singh revealing he knew Barry was Flash felt natural.

I don’t thikk Cisco is off the show, just no longer Vibe. I have yet to see any news outlet that confirms Carlos Valdes' exit so until that changes I say he will remain in the show and helping them just like he did in Season 1 and Season 2. They might plan to introduce this Sebastian Ollins character that he mentioned before to make them face against each other: genius vs genius.

I wanted to see the new Killer Frost suit, what a tease. 😭

Ralph's new case will get him to meet with his one and only, Sue Dearborn.

Barry and Iris are so gonna watch over and over Nora's message until the day comes when she’s born in the present. But since the timeline changed again and they canonized the headline from S3 about Joe becoming the Captain of CCPD then I am sure that they are gonna end up having twins like in the comics: Dawn/Nora and Don, which will fulfill Barry’s mumbling words from S4 about “needing more diapers”.

Can’t wait for CoIEs later this year.
