Seeing Red [5.11] - Episode Discussion [January 22nd, 2019]

[5.11] SEEING RED
ϟ EPISODE DISCUSSION ϟ



ϟ CICADA SEVERELY INJURES NORA ϟ
During a battle with Cicada (Chris Klein), Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) is severely injured. Due to Cicada’s dampening powers, Nora’s speed healing isn’t working, leaving Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton) scared for their daughter’s future. Upset about his injured child, The Flash is filled with rage and confronts Cicada in a brutal battle. Meanwhile, Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) keeps interfering with Caitlin’s work on the cure.
Marcus Stokes directed the episode written by Judalina Neira & Thomas Pound (#511).

- So… Cicada is taking orders from the doctor?

- Nora got her back broken by the big bad. She’s just like her dad…

- Check out Iris being a protective Mama Bear over Nora.

- Nice to see that Peekabo is still around

- Killer Frost was pulling out some nice fight moves

- … and now it’s Barry’s turn to get into Papa Bear mode by trying to kill Cicada.

- I hope Cecile and Joe actually get married at some point (well, when Joe gets back).

- Awww, WestAllen Family hug

I don't think Cicada is taking orders from another. I think he is using her for information, just as she is using him as a weapon against meta-humans.

Well, this was better than last week, but that really doesn't take much...

So, I guess the doctor is the one who dictates to Dwyer what he's supposed to do & NOT do...so I guess she's the mastermind behind all of this I guess he has no incentive other than his niece getting hurt. And tbh, I'm tired of his face & voice looking & sounding like he's bound up. That doesn't make him menacing at all. That makes him annoying.

So Jonesy's the guy behind giving the doctor the meta list. I was wondering why he kept popping up so much lately. Now that he's arrested, hopefully we won't see him ever again. He whines way too much

I wished they figure out what to do w/both KF & Ralph. He's always giving her pep talks; doesn't he have something better to do w/his time? And I thought that KF wasn't a meta; that's why Cicada's blade doesn't work on her. So why is she so worried about a cure? These writers can't stay consistent to save their lives. And how come Sherloque just can't come clean about his suspicions of Nora? I know he doesn't have all of his ducks in a row yet, but he needs to share what he does know w/one of her parents, stat.


It'd be nice if WA could have a moment w/out worrying about their adult-daughter-who-acts-like-she's-12. The family moments were nice, but too much of this season is spent on Nora's POV. What about the 2 main protagonists? And I can't wait for Joe to come back. He's been sorely missed. Maybe he could talk some sense into his granddaughter.

I'm more and more sure that this doctor who is "helping" Cicada is part of a larger plan that may be seen at the end of the season or in season 6.
She may be part of a group against meta-humans and she saw in Cicada an instrument for her plans, just as she, the cop who was arrested also hates meta-humans and The Flash can convert this story in the same way they did in Arrow, where there was the movement against the vigilantes and in Supergirl where there are movements against aliens.
And the cure story that Cisco is creating, I believe, will intersect with this story, and it would not be strange to me whether this cure or the knowledge of this cure was in the hands of this group.

Because, even though she has no dark matter; the cure that Cisco is doing is based on the dark matter, Caitlin is a meta-human, but the source of her powers is different from those of Cisco, Barry and Ralph and the cure can be used using the same principle, only changing something according to the origin of what makes them meta-human.
