The Flash: Will Cisco Ever Forgive Barry?

Cisco & Barry's friendship is a corner stone

      Barry has royally messed up. When he created Flash Point then changed the timeline he changed quite a few things: Martin Stein has a daughter, Diggle has a son instead of a daughter, Caitlyn has powers, and Cisco's brother Dante is dead. Cisco and Barry had just gotten back on good terms but then evil Caitlyn let it slip that Dante was alive in his original timeline until he changed things. 

They used to be so close!

      Cisco has a right to be upset and angry at Barry. He did a selfish thing. Dante and Cisco were never close but they were getting there. Barry might as well have stolen that time Cisco and Dante had. Yet... at the same time I have to kind of defend Barry like Oliver had. Barry has lost so much. Oliver even more so. Put yourself in Barry's lightning shoes for a minute. If you had the chance to resurrect your parents you would. His mother died when he was young and his father was murdered right in front of him. It's completely understandable and okay for Barry to have one slip of selfishness seeing as he's done so much good for everyone else.

I don't know what to do if Barry & Cisco aren't friends

     Also Barry isn't a god. Saving his mother caused a simple ripple effect. Other big events such as the particle explosion still happened and people make choices which shapes our reality. It's like flipping a coin. Scenario: You're walking down the street and see a flower shop across the road. Right next to you is a jewelry shop. You just realized it's your sister's birthday. You don't know if you should get her a bracelet or flowers. You decide to flip a coin. Heads you get flowers. Tails a bracelet. In one timeline you get heads, in another you get tails, in another you probably decide to get both. Who's to say Dante wouldn't have died anyway? He was hit by a car but he could also have been killed by a metahuman or fallen off a cliff. Oliver and Iris have both given the same argument. 

The universe doesn't make sense without Cisco
& Barry's friendship

      I feel like Cisco will forgive Barry. Barry's hard to stay mad at. Barry sacrifices so much for everyone else you have to forgive him for being selfish. It's not often he changes the timeline for a self-serving reason and Stein now has a kid and Diggle may have lost a daughter but he still has a child. Mourning over what was or might have been is a waste of time. Cisco and Barry have been through too much to throw away their friendship. At least I hope...

TVD: Is There Saving Enzo?

They choose each other this time!

        I missed the episode but caught up with the CW app and I have to say my heart broke for Bonnie and Enzo. They're the new epic love to perhaps rival Damon and Elena. Which begs the question do Enzo and Bonnie have the strength to fight for their love? Is it strong enough? Hopefully because Bonnie deserves to be happy for once.

Enzo is a deeply romantic guy.
He rivals Damon for my affections!

       First you have to factor in character traits. He may be a wicked flirt but overall Enzo is a chivalrous guy. He's a deeply romantic guy and puts the needs of his lover first. When Enzo was imprisoned at Whitmore he fell in love with the nurse but he compelled her away to spare her any torment. When he got out all he wanted to do was find her so he could thank her for being his comfort through out the torture. Enzo found out Damon killed her he was really pissed. Then Enzo moved on to Lily Salvatore. Enzo went so far as to duel Julian to win her but she still walked away with the other hot psycho vampire so Enzo decided to fold. However, he did offer to runaway with Lily while her sons defeated Julian. Then he fell in love with Bonnie. He holds the corner stone on romantic gestures to say the least (rivaling Klaus I think). Enzo went to great lengths to save Bonnie's life. He always goes the extra mile even when it hurts. Enzo turned off his humanity to give Bonnie a chance at surviving Sibyl. That's true love!

Who knew that little spark would ignite a passionate flame?

     Bonnie has always been a loyal, fierce friend. She's dedicated to the point where she will literally die if it would save the person she loves. Bonnie was Damon's adversary for quite a while but once they bonded she basically became his only other friend besides Alaric. Damon even calls her by her lovable nick name "Bon Bon." Bonnie will even suffer in silence as she did when she was the door to the other side. Every spirit that passed through her caused her excruciating pain but she kept that secret from Jeremy so he wouldn't worry about her. Bonnie has this innate sense of responsibility to bear the weight of other's troubles so she'll go to the ends of the earth to save someone's life.

Hope they work it out! Hope Enzo doesn't die or Bon Bon!

      Enzo was used to being the one that was alone, never chosen. Bonnie was used to bearing the weight of her own sacrifices. These two are uniquely matched with each other where Bonnie finally finds a guy who's willing to sacrifice his personal happiness for her well being and Enzo finally finds someone who will choose him. Bonnie won't give up on Enzo and he has faith that she can switch his humanity back on. I do too but it'll be one emotional ride!

TVD: How Will It ALL End?

The End is near...

   Since this season will be the last I've been wondering how it will all end. I did a post a while back on how I wanted it to end but since then we've lost quite a few characters so it leaves me wondering if there is room for a happy ending for any of our heroes...

She finally chose Damon now they need
a story book ending

    Delena is ENDGAME!

           It's clear that Damon and Elena are the epic love and that they will end up together but how? Nina Dobrev said that she would be back for the final season but will it be when Bonnie finally dies of old age or she dies young (again). Perhaps we'll see Elena and Damon having their first child with Stefan checking in on them or Elena is working in a hospital then finds out she's pregnant. Either way I see Elena and Damon having babies. They will have to go into hiding (which could be material for any fan who wants to continue this story in their fan fictions) because they hold the cure to vampirism in their blood (which could also be passed on to their children... wow that's perfect material for another story!). Anyway I see a happy ending for Damon and Elena. Speaking of happy endings for epic loves...

Ok I'm biased but they're gonna end up together

   Klaroline is ENDGAME!!!!!!

          I may be biased but I don't see Stefan and Caroline working out. They may last a hundred years or so but Caroline and Klaus are meant to be! For the end of this series I see Caroline with her girls all grown up or at least teenagers because Caroline would never abandon them not even for Klaus until they've aged and died. It would be cool if The Originals (despite lower viewership) goes further that Caroline takes a trip down to New Orleans since once The Vampire Diaries is over we can focus entirely on the Original Family and jump ahead to as many years as we like to explore the new family dynamic with a powerful Hope who would clash with her father, Klaus on her powers and her love life. To see Caroline playing step-mother to Hope would be interesting to see.

Stefan Salvatore. Always the high school sweet heart
never the epic love

   Stefan & Matt Deserve Some Happiness

             Stefan doesn't have to end up with someone to be happy but it would be nice for him to finally have a girl and keep her instead of losing one to his brother (either romantically or because Damon killed them). He could go back to his first love but I don't see that happening. Stefan is happiest with human women I've seen. He's so empathetic, like Elijah, Stefan loves humanity. I can see him working on his car, living with a new girlfriend and they're deliriously content.

Haven't seen Matt yet but he's gotta be somewhere

       Is he still living in Mystic Falls despite Matt's vampire band? Of course! Despite Matt and Stefan's beef, deep down Matt knows Stefan is a good vampire who loves this town. They could form some agreement or deal that Stefan can stay if he helps protect the town from other supernatural threats just like the deal Marcel has with the city of New Orleans. Also Matt should find some happiness. I see him with a few kids while working as sheriff, a nice house with a white picket fence. He definitely deserves it given what he's been through since day one.

In this case Alaric is forever cursed

   Alaric Happy Growing Old

          Alaric has died, been brought back, then turned into an Original Vampire, then died again only to be brought back as a human. He needs some peace. Although he's had bad luck in the past with romance, if the nanny doesn't die by the end of the series then I see Alaric having some relationship with her (hopefully not marriage because let's face it he's cursed in that department). Or maybe he'll hook up with the plucky intern Georgie. It's not unheard of professors getting busy with their students. Maybe this will end happily. I also see him growing old, becoming a grandpa with his twin girls taking care of him. Though I just see Alaric taking his twins to school or sending them off to college in some scene in the final episode.

If either of them die before the end I'll lose it!

   Bonnie & Enzo

         I honestly hope Bonnie and Enzo get closure. She's mentioned that she hoped to grow old with Enzo but if she dies young which would bring Elena back then Enzo will be left heart broken. OR maybe Enzo will die before the series is over saving Bonnie (which would fall right in line with his chivalrous character). If that happens I don't see Bonnie happy with anyone else unless Jeremy decides to pop by to give it another try though I highly doubt it. Bonnie may want to live a quiet life though that depends on if she gets her magic back (let's face it, no way Bonnie can remain powerless forever unless that's Julie's plan). 


       So will any of our characters who have suffered so long end up happy? I think in a way they all will find some contentment by series' end. It's the least the writers could do after putting them all through the grinder so many times. What I'm hoping for is closure for the show. The Vampire Diaries got me into vampires again after the slaughter of the genre that was Twilight. I've really enjoyed the series and hope all of my beloved characters find some happy ending.


   
             

Timeless: Who Is Lucy's Father?

       

      Time Travel can be confusing but it's still fun to watch the twists and turns. While I wait for 12 Monkeys to return I recently got into NBC's Timeless. A recent mystery arose as to who Lucy Preston's father is.

Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus should come up with aliases
BEFORE they travel through time

  A Politician?

        Lucy's mother finally tells her that her father was her mother's professor who had desires into entering politics. He had asked to marry Lucy's mother but she refused leaving her to be a single mother. So Lucy's biological father may be some big politician that has been keeping watch over her all of her life.
  

"Garcia" Flynn? That's basically 2 last names

Rittenhouse Member?

       Flynn had asked Lucy to ask why Mason really chose her for this mission. I have a theory that Lucy's father is a member of Rittenhouse. It would explain why she was picked where there were possibly hundreds more qualified historians to ask. Most likely Rittenhouse has spies in government that could have suggested Lucy's name. Or Homeland secretly knows that there's a Rittenhouse and they're keeping quiet about it in order to capture those mysterious members. Either this is his way of trying to get close to his daughter or there's a much bigger piece of the puzzle that we're missing.


      Either way Flynn knows the truth. Eventually Lucy will find herself trusting Flynn to be honest when she discovers that she has been lied to from the start of this mission.
