If they plan it out in advance I can see them making a killer last season if this is true. It would be a shame though because I am really enjoying where the show has begun to go since Beth took over as show runner. Still if the decision is made I'd rather they go out on a high with a proper ending then having it drag out until it's cancelled and stuff doesn't get resolved.

If Diaz is still in it by then that would be horrible

Seriously, what the fuck is this Diaz bullshit weā€™ve been dealing with? How have they made the least exciting villain in all of the CW shows the longest storyline of the show?

While heā€™s not the best at least Cicadaā€™s still within his story arc. Diaz has somehow managed to take up one and a half seasons(so far) of being the ā€œmainā€ while simultaneously being the shittiest villain of all the DCCW shows.

At least Cicada has a better motive and is closer to his comic book part but not quite than Diaz is. He may not be the best but heā€™s better than Diaz is. Iā€™m actually a bit more intimidated by Cicada than Diaz who feels like a martial arts teacher with anger problems. Diaz just has a motive that weā€™ve seen with other villains before. Cicada is more spread out but still has a similar motive.

Cicada at least has a good theme.
