Congrats to her. I wonder how they are going to write around that.

Her baby is due in the spring. They'll probably just have her be sitting down a lot to hide her belly, because she should be showing by now or later on. Spring 2020 could be March-May. I don't know how maternity works, but she could possibly miss some episodes.

I'm happy we got some explanation, and I hope that Martin has a quick recovery.

Yeah, they will have to bring back Caitlin because KF can't be sitting behind things and not be fighting. We might be seeing more Ralph and Barry fighting combination later on this season.

You'll see a lot of closeups, overcoats, and loose, baggy clothing with yes, limited action scenes. Killer Frost's new outfit will also go a long way towards disguising the baby bump, since black is a naturally slimming color.  It's the show's only option, since I can't see how they'd write Danielle's pregnancy in without a time jump AND an explanation as to who the baby daddy is.

And yes, she'll be just starting to show now. Actresses usually announce after the first trimester has passed, so it would be impossible NOT to tell that she's pregnant at this stage.

Yeah, there might be minimal Caitlin/Frost in the last episodes of this season and the first episodes of season 7.

I think there's a slim possibility of a time jump with the Crisis fallout -- but I don't see them writing in the pregnancy, though.

Didn't I tell you that Killer Frost and Norvock were getting it on?! 🤣 Norvock was KF's informant in the recent episode and at her birthday party; he's the one constant from her time working for Amunet. See, now Caity Frost should end up preggars and what a dilemma for Cait. Would make Cait more interesting.

Unless they plan to have some meta powered magical rapid aging baby I don't think either Caitlin or KF will be pregnant. It shouldn't be too hard to write her light or completely out of a few episodes late this season or next. The character is pretty easy to lift out for a while. 

I suppose they could use COIE to have her be pregnant or have a baby and shake things up in that way but I don't think it's particularly likely.

I don't know if you are joking but in case you aren't, I don't find this scenario interesting at all. I can't imagine Caitlin or Frost having sex with anyone until they resolve the issue of two people inhabiting the same body.

But I don't want Caitlin Frost to be pregnant period. I don't like it when shows do this in general but for Flash in particular, Cecile already had a baby. Now they can somehow do the same for Caitlin Frost because her actress is expecting but Iris has to wait until the last possible second?

Just reduce Danielle's workload and have Caitlin Frost be absent from a couple episodes. The fact that DP timed her pregnancy so she could give birth during the hiatus is IMO indicative that they have no intention of incorporating it into the show.

I am partly joking, but I do think it's an interesting dilemma since they insist on having them be two separate people sharing one body. They haven't merged them, which I think they should, so the issue of consent and responsibility is important.

The writers made a big deal about consent last season with the meta-human cure, which fell flat for several reasons I won't repeat. However, having KF do something without Cait's consent and dealing with the repercussions of that is interesting. It's key to remember that the only reason KF isn't in Iron Heights for multiple murder attempts and being an accessory to HR's murder is that she's inside Cait's body. While that won't ever be addressed it seems, they can address the consent and responsibility issue in a pregnancy arc.  Let's not forget that Cait consented to KF working for Amunet for months during which KF tortured and mutilated people. Cait's responsible for that, too, but gets a free pass.

I agree that the timing suggests that won't happen, however.

Quick reminder of the rules for crossover related posting:

Post here & there:  What a Flash character might or will do on the crossover episodes. 
Post only there: What a character from another show, might do or will do in the crossover episodes. 
Post only here:  Talk about a Flash character, who might appear on the crossover episodes, but the talk is about what they're doing on Flash. 
Neither here nor there: Talking about things characters are doing that aren't happening in the crossover episodes or on Flash.

New promo art - with all the regulars this time:

I don't know if it was intentional, but I like that Iris is placed at Barry/The Flash's heart! And then the splatter symbolizing Bloodwork.

I guess the promo department is going with the Caitlin who is popular with the fan base. Honestly, if I cared about Caitlin, I would not be happy with this.

I recently saw some pics of Danielle and she's pretty far along. I would guess that she's at least 5 months. She's probably due around the end of March, so I doubt she will be filming till the end of the season and flight travel becomes difficult in the final trimester. In the past, Danielle was mentioned that she has a fear of flying, so I do wonder how much she'll want to travel back and forth at the end of her pregnancy. That said, depending on how much time she would like to take off, she may be able to return in July. I guess we will see!

WestAllen featured in the Flash COIE crossover promo; at the start of this video that has all of the short promos together:


In the other promos you can also see STAR Labs, Killer Frost, Vibe, 90s Flash, and Tom C. as Pariah.

ETA: Also I just love that the musical episode keeps paying dividends! ::sniff::

Quotes from Panabaker and Wallace previewing tomorrow's episode, at TV Guide.

Quote

"Grant's so incredibly talented and, particularly this season as they're preparing for Crisis, we haven't gotten to see a ton of levity from him," Panabaker told reporters at a press screening of the episode. "And so to really give him the opportunity... to really lean into the comedy there was, I think, fun for him. There were some stunts that I had not intended for him to do and he got on stage and he was like, 'Well, can I do that?' And I was like, 'That's not up to me!' So you know, I think he was really enjoying himself."

In addition to Gustin's absolutely charming bit of comedy, we'll also be getting an absolute deluge of James Bond jokes and references. Showrunner Eric Wallace attributes each and every one of them to the nerdtastic writers' room, which could not resist any opportunity to indulge their inner Bond fans.

"We sit in the writers' room — we're the geekiest people in the world, it's great," he said. "In fact, there are so many Bond jokes that we had to cut out of the script. It just would have been embarrassing at that point. We kind of said all right, let's do one or two specific ones."

TVLine interview with Danielle Panabaker discussing directing, KF, and Crisis:

Quote

TVLINE | For your directorial debut last spring, you took us to the year 2049. What was the biggest challenge that this script presented you as director?

It’s funny — every episode has its own personality, for sure. I watched a lot of [James] Bond movies in preparation, and I wanted to pay homage to the Bond movies as much as possible. The Act V sequence in concept was a little intimidating, but by the time we got to shooting it, I sort of had broken it down into four parts, so the actual production of it wasn’t that bad. But that was a little intimidating at first.  ...

TVLINE | This season, we’ve seen Katie [Cassidy-Rodgers from Arrow], Caity [Lotz from Legends of Tomorrow] and Melissa [Benoist from Supergirl] line up their own directorial debuts. Did anybody reach out to you for any advice?

Absolutely. All of these women are so talented, I know they’ll do a great job. Both Katie and Caity have shot their episode already, and I talked to them quite a bit and tried to be as helpful as possible. They both also went through the Warner Bros. [Directors’ Workshop] program, but it’s really important to me to “pay it forward” in every element of my life, so I tried to provide them with as much information as I could.

TVLINE | In front of the camera, where do you see Frost as being in her evolution? Where do you find the edge with the character while still recognizing that she’s more and more becoming one of us?

I’ve really loved her journey this season. This is the first time she’s getting to have her own voice and make choices and make mistakes. As an actor, it’s fun to play a character who is imperfect and who is making the wrong choice sometimes and acting inappropriately. Killer Frost, more often than Caitlin and more often than most, does act inappropriately. She often doesn’t find herself saying the right thing at the right time. So I’m enjoying it. But we’ve seen her grow. Particularly in Episode 3, there was a shift from the top of the episode where she sort of stormed off and was throwing things when she found out that Barry’s going to die in crisis, but by the end of the episode they’re having a warm heart to heart out on the patio.

From DC, more Danielle interviews: 'From Danielle Panabaker, with Love'

Quote

It’s also hard because you’re dealing with Barry’s looming death. Do you think Killer Frost and Caitlin have accepted it, or are they still trying to figure out a way to prevent it?

I think they’re still trying to figure out a way to prevent it. I don’t think Team Flash is particularly good at accepting any fate, quite frankly, as you see them also continue to struggle with “Crisis.” Barry’s upcoming death is the same. I don’t think they’re just laying down and accepting it, they’re fighting as much as they can.

This week’s episode, “License to Elongate,” is your second episode as a director. Can you tell us what it’s about?

“License to Elongate” is a breath of fresh air before we get into two really dark episodes. Barry has been preparing the different members of Team Flash for life post-Crisis. Recently, we saw him take Cisco aside and really prepare him to be the team leader, and he’s trying to teach Killer Frost how to channel her anger. This episode is really about Barry and Ralph’s relationship—they go off on an adventure to find Sue Dearbon. It’s a bit of a James Bond episode for the two of them. They put their tuxes on and they go to a fancy gala. They have a lot of fun and they also learn and grow along the way.

Eric Wallace and Danielle Panabaker interview at Collider; Wallace gives more info on some upcoming storylines.

Quote

Which scene was the most challenging to direct, in this episode?

PANABAKER: When you break it down, it takes almost two weeks to shoot an episode, and every day has its challenge. Initially, when I first took a look at it, I would have said most of Act 5 ‘cause it’s a big sequence, but I prepped it in a specific way, in four parts. When you break it down like that, and we shot it in that way, as well, it ended up being less complicated than I made it out to be in my head.

ERIC WALLACE: From my perspective, one of the most complex scenes in the edit room was having three people around a table, talking. It’s very hard, especially in a Bond movie. Casino Royale is one of my favorite ones. I’m a Bond fanatic. The introduction of Remington Meister, playing Mahjong.  ...

I guess now people can stop hopping anything will change when it comes West Allen physical intimacy, lol.

And I totally, 100% disagree with CP about the Flash not being that kind of show when it comes to sex scenes. 

I don't know and might never know the real reason why we might never get that scene but this isn't it.

There has never been a sex scene on this show, so I do agree with Candice. That said, this show has become so chaste over the years that it’s ridiculous. There’s only one reason for it, and I hate it. 

Trust that I am watching very closely to this Ralph/Sue relationship to see how TPTB will handle it in comparison to WestAllen. Sadly, I’m anticipating differences.

We have Iris straddling Eddie in 1A, Barry/Linda make-out in 1B, and the Hawks getting it on in 2A. So I have no idea what Candice is talking about.

They have never been given significant physical intimacy onscreen. Ever. They had ONE, count it, ONE, passionate, open-mouthed kiss in Season 3 when Joe walked in on them making out on the couch and absolutely NOTHING since then. Nothing.

It's inexplicable. And I do actually bet that Sue and Ralph will get a sex scene.

It's not a real sex scene if the characters don't have sex. In the scenes you mentioned Barry and Linda and Eddie and Iris end up not having sex.

I think what Candice means is that the show never had a scene where you see characters undressing each other, grinding and making O faces. The one with the Hawks is the only scene that would qualify as a sex scene but it's easy for people to forget about that. Those are Legends characters and it happened in a crossover Candice wasn't even a part of. I am positive she forgot everything about it. I am invested in the show and tend to forget about the Hawks when listing all the spicier moments this show has had.

If full sex scenes is what Candice meant then fine. I get where she's coming from. But if she means that the show never had anything sexy at all then that's not true. Even WestAllen had more passionate scenes in previous seasons and some of those scenes did lead up to off screen sex. I hope she didn't just destroy all my hopes about ever getting those moments back. I was upset when the show forgot about their first time in season 3 but I'd rather have what we got in season 3 ( and what was deleted in season 4 ) than this total and complete lack of intimacy we've been dealing with for a couple years now.

Why is Batwoman such an overwhelming presence at the center when she's the newcomer?

Who forgot to tell the artist that Cisco is no longer Vibe?
