Great stuff. But not having even a moment of matter manipulation in the finale doesn’t help Firestorm’s future. Man, that power is awesome and cool, and frankly, people like it… just a little bit of it would help improve the fan base–and get the fan base excited…

On the other hand, Victor’s performance was outstanding…
Ronnie’s smarts are nice to see… Nice banter during the wedding between the two… though no… well, you know…

I don’t see Ronnie needing to die to turn Caitlyn to Killer Frost… I see him perhaps not being able to save her… (hence, constant guilt)… but I’m thinking Killer Frost will be a Flash villain now that Captain Cold is a good guy… I do see the multiverse kicking in…

One thing I’m wondering about… given that we’re looking at the existence of the multiverse (teases suggest more than just “Earth 2″) in the next Season, we could easily see Caitlyn as Killer Frost as an *alternate* version of Caitlyn, and not necessarily that “our” Caitlyn ever changes (although there would be extremely interesting implications to explore, as it would suggest that Caitlyn *could* change, whether she ever actually does or not).

I agree, but it shows how good the two characters, especially Martin, are, that they could be civilian and still move us.

It’s worse in their movie division. At least we’re getting a great product for the most part on TV.

Yep. For some reason DC keeps thinking that, rather than giving fans what they want, they give the fans what they think the fans *should* want (see New Gods, OMAC, Brother Eye, Superman Red/Blue, non-Ronnie/Stein Firestorm etc). It’s a real weird dynamic.

Doesn’t it seem that while we’ve gotten more Firestorm than we expected, it never ends up being what we expect? First we thought Ronnie would make a comeback in the solo series of the mid 2000s….but we got Jason instead. Then we thought we’d get a traditional Ronnie/Jason FS post-Brightest Day….then we got the New 52.

Now, I’m not sure….I think it can be accomplished by having Ronnie do something inadvertently to ruin the marriage, or vice versa. After all, Killer Frost needs a Firestorm to fight, doesn’t she?

I would have loved to see the transmutation scene…as it was, DCTVU Firestorm’s powers seemed more in line with the Fire Elemental version, as did his appearance. Which makes me wonder if somehow, Martin will be a solo Firestorm on Legends, while Ronnie and/or Jason get the mantle on Flash?

And I would be totally fine with Martin taking Wells’ advisor role in STAR Labs.

Holy crap, E2C! I completely missed that: http://comicbook.com/2015/05/20/the-flash-first-look-at-danielle-panabaker-as-killer-frost/

Lee, I hope you’re right. I couldn’t stand yet another round of Firestorm substitutes.

I think it’s pretty clear that Ronnie dies and that is the catalyst for Caitlin to “turn”. Part of me though just hopes that they didn’t show the face of the other half of Firestorm in the “Legends” trailer because they are still negotiating with Robbie to appear in the show. He’s had a couple films come out recently, maybe contract negotiations are taking longer than the showrunners anticipated. I know that theory is probably wrong, but it helps me sleep at night.

I was a little disappointed that Firestorm didn’t do much of anything in the Flash finale but I did love the line, “Let’s not fight on our wedding day.”

Well, SPOILERS You see Katelin as Killer Frost as Barry runs through the Speed Force. So you may be right. Chris
