The Flash’s sixth season is … extremely muddled. The first half is all hype for Crisis on Infinite Earths, but based on something we all knew wouldn’t happen. The second half then starts off strong but then pulls out the “our hero loses his powers!” cliché and stretches it out across multiple episodes. Throw in the non-ending that sadly happened due to a certain pandemic and it’s not a best season ever constructed… Let’s take a look anyway!
The Flash’s fifth season’s second half (I’m sure there’s a better way of writing that…) has been and gone, and once again it had some good moments, and some bafflingly written moments… Let’s take a look!
It must be getting close to Christmas, as it’s time to start looking at the first third of the new Arrowverse seasons! First up, oddly as it’s the last to air, is The Flash Season 5, which has so far been good. Nothing ground breaking just yet, the idea of Barry and Iris’ daughter from the future arriving is at least a new one, and the current lead villain is a bit different, if not on the extremely cheesy side… Let’s take a look!
The Flash season 4 had a very different feel to it thanks to the lead antagonist not being a speedster. The Thinker was a definite highlight, though credit also has to go to new side-character Ralph Dibny / The Elongated Man as well, who was a constant highlight himself. Either way, although it wasn’t perfect, it was a good season, with a tight direction and a fresher feeling. Let’s take an overall look!
Season 4 of The Flash reaches its big conclusion as The Thinker tries to out-think everyone, as he tends to do, and make the whole world extremely dumb. Does he do it!? Well, no, obviously, but more importantly, is the story on how he was stopped any good?!
Season 4 of the Flash continues to feel fresh and interesting as Barry and co. have to fight The Thinker, a villain that outsmarts them at every turn, rather than being yet another speedster. It’s worked really well, as has the funny addition of Elongated Man to “Team Flash”. While not everything worked perfectly, these middle 9 episodes do a good job of moving the plot towards its end point. So let’s have a closer look then!
The Flash Season 4’s first third (or the part of the season before Christmas, yes I’m running a bit behind… stupid Regeneration Marathon!) sets an interesting new tone for the series, replacing it’s mysterious speedster enemy with a new type of foe who has his backstory revealed in Episode 7! So let’s take a look at this season’s story so far…
The Flash’s third season was the weakest so far, but that doesn’t mean it was bad, just not as good (it was no Arrow Season 3, that’s for sure!) Flashpoint, Savitar, Kid Flash, Gorilla Grodd invasion, alien invasion, a musical episode and a disappointing season cliffhanger, this season had it all!
The Flash closes out its third season with an entertaining five episodes, though its sudden cliffhanger left a lot to be desired. Still, I won’t let that dampen the overall fun of the season’s final episodes…
