Warning – spoilers for upcoming episodes of The Flash…
So Arrow has its legion of Olicity shippers, but it seems The Flash is about to get their own version after episode “Crazy For You”, which saw Barry Allen and Caitlin Snow grow a littler closer than we’ve previously seen.
Well, we’ve got some bad news for all you SnowBarry shippers.
As many fans of the comic will already know, Caitlin Snow is destined to become the villain Killer Frost and will also be reuniting with her fiancée Ronnie Raymond aka Firestorm, played by Robbie Amell. So, there is little chance of her hooking up with Barry in the long term.
“In an upcoming episode, you get a very small taste of the future of Killer Frost,” teases Amell to Entertainment Weekly. “But like you said, it’s definitely a ways down the road. I know that Danielle [Panabaker] is super excited about it. I know they’ve been talking to her about it. I think it’s a matter of time. I’m sure they’ll start to manifest it shortly, but you have to see the development there, otherwise you’ll feel like you’ve missed a step.”

The Flash airs on The CW every Tuesday.
Christopher Citty says
It sure would be nice if the TV show didn’t ‘have’ to adhere to comic stories. Imagine what fun they could have if they didn’t need to make certain characters go bad, or go good. Also, maybe some comic fans won’t watch, because they know what will result. Better to keep them guessing.
Christopher Reid Shankle says
Yeah but to see it come to life is pretty awesome, so I imagine they would love to see it. I do.
AcuraT says
Unfortunately, if a tv show leaves the comic books the hard core fans stop watching. So they have to follow the mythology for the most part. The only show I saw that did not follow the book was the CW’s “Nikita” which lasted four years with its own story.
Also, I note if the Reverse Flash is at Star Labs, and Killer Frost is at Star labs, pretty soon the Flash is going to be on his own – no support group..
Warriorscribe says
He’ll have a sidekick in VIBE.
AcuraT says
Interesting point, does it make up for all the people supporting him in Star Labs? I don’t know. All the points here are very interesting to me. Thanks.
AcuraT says
The way the show is going now, I think you are right… if Cisco becomes him (and Catlin become s Killer Frost as everyone has been forecasting).
Kris Smith says
– I think that the little look we’ll get will be a time travel episode where Barry runs into the future.
– It’s also notable that the Caitlin Snow version of Killer Frost isn’t a villain. She’s a tragic character.
Kevin_Allen says
I have already said it before… but while she might start off as Killer Frost (the newest version, who is a heat vampire who can’t control her powers at times) I think Miss Snow will eventually become the DC hero Ice. We know Fire exists in this universe but no Ice… and it would more more sense that she becomes this universe’s Tora.
Zagreus says
I think it will get a little corny if EVERYONE becomes super powered. It is called The Flash. Not, IDK, Justice League: Central City. If they have Flash, Vibe, Firestorm and Ice, it really becomes a team show quickly. Anyway, hopefully, if Caitlin goes evil, hopefully she doesn’t stay that way. She’s just such a charming actress, and I like her as Dr. Snow… (she’s adorably straight laced) I guess we’ll see… So far I like what they’re doing with the series.

They’ve got the upcoming time travel episode where Barry’s going to go back and ‘try to save’ his mom. TIME TRAVEL 101 – FIRST RULE – If you change the past, you change the present/future. In other words, you create an alternate timeline where events transpired differently; Thomas Wayne as Batman instead of Bruce Wayne, etc.
When/if Barry ‘succeeds’ he will find himself returning to an alternate reality where Caitlin and Cisco were altered by the accelerator blast, resulting in a tragic Ms. Frost and an over the top, “I-love-being-a-superhero”, Vibe. Barry may even hang around in this reality for a few episodes. However, someone, be it Dr. Wells or Detective West or maybe even the alternate Iris (who may have turned out to be his girlfriend in this reality) will sooner or later convince Barry to ‘repair’ his mistake and set things back the way they are supposed to be. PS – Bonus points to the producers in they can get Arrow to make a guest appearance in either the more Robin Hood version the outfit or a darker, even scarier version, almost like Batman w/o the ears and cape.
Cyberxion says
You think they’ll do a take on Flashpoint? I could see it happening, but…not yet. I mean, Barry was definitely there as Flash the night his mom was killed, but he quite obviously failed. So I think the first time he travels back in time he’ll meet with that outcome, which will lead him to try again sometime later. Then we’d get a couple episodes of a Flashpoint reality.
I just don’t think they’re gonna blow that particular load that soon.
Darren says
True, it is probably a little too early for Flashpoint, but the alternate reality are always a riot just from a ‘what if’ point of view.
I don’t believe Barry was the one who raced his younger self a couple of blocks from home that night, I’m betting it was Wells simply because he believes in maintaining the continuity of the timeline they are in (Ma Allen had to die, Barry had to be safe; I’m starting to think he may be trapped here by accident and how much fun would one of us have in say medieval times for instance) and he’s trying to prevent Barry from making a rookie mistake and changing the timeline so he can get back to his future.
If – and that’s a BIG IF – it does turn out to be Eddie Thawn, he may be trying to prevent Barry from ever becoming the Flash.
