Frosty Caity MD

Sorry I am responding so late. I didn’t check tumblr much since the flash finale.

Writing wise I think the writers remembered they need to write something for Caitlin / Killer Frost and went for a half baked origin story never hinted at before. In-universe… I guess why not, they have my curiosity. Metahumans not created by the particle accelerator explosion exist. There’s the justice society, laser eyes guy from S1, Ray Palmer, etc…

There’s this “Thomas” stuff and we’ve heard Caitlin’s dad during the flashback, plus she talked about him during her therapy session (loved that scene btw) and mentioned how good and nice and awesome he was so obviously he’ll be revealed as shady. Did her dad experiment on her? Or her mom? Someone on Reddit had a very good observation: “Dr Carla Tannhauser” sounds like “Dr Carl Tanner”, a character from the 1990 Flash tv show. He was an evil scientist from Tina’s past (who’s basically 1990 Caitlin Snow) specialized in genetics. He messed with people’s DNA and eventually became a metahuman himself. Sounds like Carla the cryogeneticist was inspired by this guy… so my money would be on her being the shady parent (also there’s the fact she’s alive and they already have an actress for her lol).

ANYWAY.

I am not too optimistic about that storyline but I’ll still watch it with heart eyes, no need to pretend otherwise. :) Even with retcons and plot holes Caitlin’s storylines are more interesting than some others tbh.
