Grace is a little girl with dark matter in her head whose trying to protect the last of her family. She's hurt, scared and angry, and throwing the blame at the easiest target.
My question is, who was that version of Cicada that was there last? That was a blonde woman.
Grace seems to be the real Cicada, controlling her uncle via their dark matter connection. She wants to be all strong and big to punish the meta bad guys who killed her parents, and just like young Nora she doesn't have an accurate memory or a grown-up way of looking at the situation.

How would future grace be resident within young grace's head though? It would be a good twist if Grace turned out to be the actual (confused) villain here rather than her uncle, but even so, there was no timeline shenanigans with that dark matter business.Something tells me that was future Grace.
Would it be next season though, or the second half of this season - unless they're back to Thawne. We know Cicada isn't going to be the villain for the entire season already.I wish they hadn't hinted at Red Death as next season's villain. DC goes on strange trips now and then that are best forgotten. Dark Nights: Metal was one of them.

So Nora got RF locked up and wants him to help her stop Cicada. How exactly? I really dont understand why Cicada is so hard to stop. At the beginning all you needed to do was win against him in a fist fight but NO ONE could do that?

It doesn't make any sense, we can agree on that. Maybe every attempt that Ollie had at defeating him, he just flew away? Hah. That said, wasn't it also said that Kara tried, and she couldn't defeat him either, or did I imagine that? To (some) extent, you could throw a theory in there that he becomes a bit more powerful or (per flight) manages to escape from Ollie, but Kara should be able to defeat him hands down - even if he does fly off, she can just fly after him. She's not a metahuman.I was confused about this too. I don't quite understand why someone like Green Arrow couldn't take down Cicada. Oliver is one of the best fighters in the Arrowverse, and he has no metahuman powers for Cicada to dampen. Since we've seen several times that Cicada can be beaten in a straight fist-fight, I don't see why someone like Oliver couldn't take him down.
Yeah, I'll have to try and find the source later (unless anyone else has quick access to it) but this season was said to feature more than one main bad, and that Cicada wouldn't take up the entire season as the primary villain. Presumably, considering how far they've come with him already, he'll be defeated before the next break.Waitwut?

I had forgotten about them, but yeah, you're right.Nora also claimed that the Legends of Tomorrow also went after Cicada, but they couldn't stop him either. I still don't see what's so special about Cicada that none of these heroes could put him out of action, even the ones who aren't vulnerable to his power-dampening ability.
Cicada is boring. If he's the hardest villain to beat, then the heroes must be pretty hopeless. What about him can't Oliver Queen beat? And why wouldn't Supergirl be able to beat him? And why can't Killer Frost do that? She almost had him last week but then had to turn back to Caitlin just to tell Barry that someone needs a doctor.
I think we can all agree on this. Nobody can stop him. How on earth is Cicada a tougher villain to defeat than the likes of Thawne or Zoom? It's laughable! Even if we exclude Thawne and Zoom, there's countless single-episode villains that (should) pose a greater threat than this Cicada has done. The writers certainly haven't done this villain justice by any means, and they've made Team Flash look like a bunch of morons.Simple answer - 'Plot Armor.' Cicada has several tons of plot armor, and no, there is no reason for him to be so hard to get. Several times they have had him dead to rights, but the writers keep supplying an out.
Sherloque was particularly hard to understand this episode when he had to talk at length in his silly accent. I wish he hadn't adopted any of these accents or mannerisms.

The writers of these shows are constantly forced to set up scenarios that make no sense because they have 22 eps to fill. It's annoying.
Ollie's full crew from last season should be able to surround him and take him out rather easily, even if they couldn't do it individually. Ray in the Atom suit should be able to do it by himself.
Heh, valid, except we know that (because of timeline shenanigans) Cicada will be defeated, and history (as far as the future goes) will be changed, obviously leaving it open for a tougher villain to come about.If Cicada is the hardest villain to beat and is unbeatable, then any future villain they face should not really take much effort. Therefore if they're struggling with someone else, they must really be incompetent. And if a future villain does appear much more formidable and intimidating, then how can history record that Cicada was the toughest challenge of all?
