"Cause and XS" did it. It finally restored the feeling I had for Cicada in the first half back.
I'll get right into it, though. This is another episode where it felt like the end of the road for Cicada. I'm fine that it isn't, but it truly felt like another wrap up episode. I'm alright with that, though, as this episode finally made me enjoy him as much as I did prior.
I think this episode truly showed how deadly he is as a villain with seeing how he was able to always capture at least one member of the team and then kill them. It actually made me feel like a true villain after a few episodes of wondering why he was even still around. This episode and "Goldfaced" really have done a lot to make me enjoy Cicada again and I'm super thankful.
Everything else in this episode was fun, too! I loved the time loop aspect, some of the time Nora did feel a little dumb and juvenile but hey, who hasn't made a mistake that they wanted to fix on their own rather than admit it. The lack of Barry is a tad frustrating but Grant was getting married so i can't actually fault the episode for that.
"Cause and XS" is a fun time loop episode that is bolstered by truly showing that Cicada can be a credible threat. The episode is yet another set up for his departure but this time it's welcome for me that he stick around another episode or two.
