Check out my blog, Because Everyone Else Has One, for my regularly updated movie reviews.
I used to have the Thawne thing figured out, but I can't remember it anymore.
Plot armor, plain and simple.
And I hope that comes to an end soon, I'm so sick of Thawne by now, Tom Cavanagh or not.
I'm just assuming that this Thawne is the one that Barry let get away at the end of the Earth-X crossover.
"You're dead!"- Soldier
"You first"- Lightning, Final Fantasy XIII
"Yes, boo, cause this is Calvin Klein and I don't play that ****" - Tanisha
"You look like a fairy princess...that resides over the pits of hell." - New York
And the result was absolutely terrible and hurt the show more than Olicity ever could (imO).

Pretty surprised to see him leaving.
This isn't news. It's been expected for months that Carlos Valdes was leaving--and the show has been building up to this departure. But I hope it's a bit of a swerve, in the end. Even though it still causes me great anguish, the death of Stein was so tragic because it seemed like he was going to leave the Legends to be with his family. The same kind of swerve could happen with Vibe, where we think he's going off into the sunset on his own terms, only for him to lose his life tragically--maybe as a consequence of the oncoming Crisis.
In the lead-up to COIE, I expect a lot of character deaths. Such a big event warrants clearing the decks of old characters and changing the status quo for all the shows.
I think it is pretty clear the "cure" Cisco comes up with is going to used in some way that hurts one of his friends, and that will make him feel guilty and be the reason he leaves.
See him soon in a sit-com that flops. If you are in a show that works, stay with it and cash the checks. Invest wisely.
