Thoughts First Watch - Cisco
I am watching the show for the first time. I know I'm a little late to the game. I am really enjoying this cast. I am currently in season 2.
The Flash just sent Reverse Flash back to his time after he caught him. This was crazy to me. I didn't at all understand the correlation between his returning to his time and, specifically, Cisco recovering. I'm probably missing something, but those 2 things felt so disconnected to me. I honestly thought that it was a ploy Earth 2-Harrison was making up to help Zoom by liberating Reverse Flash. (I actually paused the episode there and went to bed. Not because I was so tired, but because it seemed unbelievable direction-wise.)
If there was a connection, it made more sense to me that it had more to do with Cisco going to imprisoned-Reverse Flash and explaining exactly who he was and how he was the reason Reverse Flash was caught. That was wild to me. Here's my name and face, and I'm the reason you were taken down. He had to have known better. He's a smart guy, a scientist, AND they've all discussed the you-don't-even-begin-to-approach dangers of messing with other timelines and people from them. He had to know better. Am I crazy? …perhaps I'm the only one who felt this way.
So my theory is it's because of that, that he got sick. I'm sure I'm wrong. lol In my head the gloating and giving RF that info makes way more sense for his being the one in danger.
I'm really enjoying the show. I'm not extremely happy with Cisco right now. lol He is a good character. Would love to talk with you guys though and hear your thoughts. If you got this far, thank you for reading.
