We Are the Flash

The Flash
S04E23
Season 4 Episode 23

This a good season finale. Last episode it looked like the flash was defeated but he was able to beat The Thinker. I liked how they went into the Thinker's mind in order to defeat him. It makes sense, because they couldn't defeat him in the physical world. I also liked that they found a way to use Cecile. Wally came to visit & Ralph is back. I even liked the Matrix Reloaded scene.

My favorite part was how Joe West was able to fight The Thinker's mind control in order to protect "his girls"! and how he yelled at Marlize for everything she did.

I also like how the thinking cap that Wells was using was The Thinker's test for his enlightenment idea, but I don't like that they made Harrison no longer smart. That was a terrible idea, we already had dumb HG Wells on the show. I don't know why they did that.

When they quoted Star Trek & Iris said "Star Wars" lol.

It was obvious that speedster girl was Barry's daughter but I don't know her from the comics. At least they sort of connected the weird Barry from his return to this one with her saying "this house is bitchin" even though it's silly.

Season 4 Episode 22

That scene with The Thinker invading Argus & using all his powers to fight the soldiers was awesome! It was like watching the beginning of X-Men 2 or a scene from Daredevil. It was just so cool.

They keep expanding Barry's powers. Not only can he bring people into Flashtime, now he can give people SpeedForce power? Can he do that in the comics? I like that it only lasts 1 second in real time. I'm surprised that Caitlin only got a concussion, I expected them to get hurt more. I like that Iris did not want to turn Marlyze good because she got stabbed by the kitana, I totally forgot about that. Plus they gave her a scar, I'm sure we won't see it again, but it was a good scene.

Diggle, throwing up was funny, but how did The Thinker know the password to get into Argus? Why does Star Labs not have any security? Is it no longer a museum?

Harry and the Harrisons

The Flash
S04E21
Season 4 Episode 21

Barry had a good idea to use organic material to blow up the satellites. I was thinking analog weapons, like Bbattlestar Glactica, before they even mentioned girl-Starbuck. I was wondering how knock-off Witchblade was going to shoot her metal up into space, but instead Amunet gave them a hand grenade. How is that 1 thing going to take out 6 satellites?

I wish Amunet had created a floating platform, or a chair or covered herself in a full suit of armor. I know the spinning cloud is cheaper cgi, but it looked terrible & didn't make sense as a flying machine.

Snake Eye is just weird. I don't remember if he always shot venom mist. The German Harrison wasn't that good, but the other 3 were good.

They should have thought of Marlize before. Like how is she going to retain her intelligence? Is she going to be in the pocket dimension when the bomb goes off?

Therefore She Is

The Flash
S04E20
Season 4 Episode 20

I was wondering where they were going with the flashbacks, especially when Marlize found his diary. but it looks like she agrees with Clifford. The end though was really abrupt the way she flew away in the chair. Did she stop drinking the Weeper's tears? 

But Ii thought The Thinker was going to make everyone smart, not make everyone dumb & forget about technology. This seems really strange. Earlier this season he was crying about how other metas used their gifts for evil but he was going to use his abilities for good & couldn't use his legs & how unfair that was. But in this episode it seems like they ret-conned that away & made him evil from the beginning.

Why are they breaking up Gypsy & Vibe? As if it wasn't bad enough that they are nothing like their comic book versions, now she's gone? That seemed pointless. 

Who is this speedster girl? Barry's daughter?

Fury Rogue

S04E19
Season 4 Episode 9

I don't see how none of them realized that The Thinker making pocket dimensions around Fallout was a trick & yet they fell for it. I think it was dumb that the Thinker knew that Black Siren X would show up. There is no way he could have known that. He doesn't know about Earth-X. I think it's great that she did though. Can we get her to fight Black Siren? How funny when Cisco started to explain the Black Canary backstory, it was perfect!

Getting Captain Cold X was a good idea. Devoe was being such a jerk to his wife. Marlize put on his favorite dress & wanted to have sex with him but he kept insulting her. It sounds like his plan is to make everyone smarter though. So they are going to use emotion to defeat him somehow? Maybe The Flash will get Marlize to use True Love's Kiss! 

Poor Barry, he suddenly fell apart when Devoe used Ralph's voice. That was harsh when the quack listed all the people who have died.

Lose Yourself

S04E18
Season 4 Episode 18

Oh no! What happened?? Is this Flash: Infinity War? How did Ralph forget that you can't use tech on the Thinker? They specifically mentioned it when Wells pulled out his super tuning fork. Ugh. Now the Thinker is in Ralph's body & turned it into Davoe. He's like Mimic. He was super-powerful. When he said "melt" to Killer Frost, I thought he was being literal & warming her up, I didn't realize he took away her powers!

The Elongated Man was right, they keep trying the same thing & of course the Thinker beats them. I'm surprised that they didn't realize how easy it was that they were able to "rescue" the hippie & how easily they defeated the Samuroid. I figured the Thinker was setting something up. It didn't make sense that he would let them take away the hippie.

This episode was pretty frustrating. I like how Detective caught Wells in his questioning. I totally forgot Cecile even existed. What happened to Max?

Null and Annoyed

The Flash
S04E17
Season 4 Episode 17

New lemonade recipe. Oh no, she's discovered that a bunch of times but apparently she never noticed a new lemonade recipe so clearly that was not a good name for that file. The Thinker is becoming more & more evil if she's drugging & mind wiping the wife. Which means that The Thinker has access to the Weeper.

Did they travel to Earth-19? Because that museum is the same one that was used in an episode of Supergirl.

I like how Elongated Man threw his arm up into the air to catch Barry but I didn't like how he turned into such a small woopie cushion to catch him. He should have been way bigger.

Null was an ok villain, but her costume was terrible. Jay & Silent Bob were not funny, they sucked & were a huge distraction.

Run, Iris, Run

The Flash
S04E16
Season 4 Episode 16

This turned out to be a good episode. How did that Melting Point not realize that he was giving away the meta-powers to other people? Obviously he had done it before the fire dude. Melting Point is a really lame name, Vibe, seriously terrible.

I like how Barry was supportive when Iris got his powers & how she realized that even though she says we are Flash, she knows he's the Flash. I totally forgot about her blog. That's great, that's it back.

Ralph was really mean to Iris. Of course she stays in Star Labs, she has no powers. I'm glad she brought up how Savitar was trying to kill her. He was way more ruthless than the Thinker plus she actually saw her death when Vibe saw it.

Enter Flashtime

The Flash
S04E15
Season 4 Episode 15

Another great episode! I like how they did that jump in the middle then flashback to how they got there, but on The Flash it's only 8 minutes earlier!! Then they made it seem like it was going to be a filler episode but it turned out to be so good.

It turns out only The Flash can make people move at super speed, plus he's able to do that longer than Jesse & Jay. That crazy liberal terrorist tried to destroy Central City. Duh, I knew that Vibe & Killer Frost wouldn't be able to do much, their powers aren't speed force related. Jay brought up a good point about the speed force possibly being integral to the multiverse.

Harry Wells shared a good moment with his daughter about his wife. Plus Iris told Barry about something he didn't know about & actually helped out.

Subject 9

The Flash
S04E09
Season 4 Episode 9

Noo, they killed The Fiddler.  Izzy Brown was pretty cool & had great legs. It also sucks because The Stretch really liked her & the feeling was mutual. I like how Vibe said that Soundwave is already the name of a Transformer!

This season is pretty depressing. There doesn't seem to be a way that the bus metas can be restored so all those bus metas are dead. Which sucks. Some of them were really cool. I forgot about the tech guy. Stupid Thinker just hacked into the brain thing.

So evil Davoe & his dumb wife are in a pocket dimension. What is the point of gathering all the bus meta powers like he's Peter Petrelli? Is there some greater evil that he plans to fight or does he want to be a 1 man Justice League?

I'm glad that the police don't believe that Elongated Davoe is the real one. I'm sure they examined his lifeless body. How are they going to finally explain it?

True Colors

The Flash
S04E13
Season 4 Episode 13

The meta-prison! I really like that they brought back all those other metas from earlier in this season. Hazard is so powerful, I can see why Davoe stole her powers but her body too?

I really hope that Marlize refuses to have sex with a woman. It's bad enough that the Thinker forced her to have sex with another dude, but now a woman? That's insane plus it goes against the "born this way" doctrine that they are constantly pushing.

The Thinker still has Brainstorm's powers? So he killed the bus metas & is collecting their powers like Sylar? That seems pretty different from when he was saying that he wanted to use his powers to help people.

The Stretch has new powers, I don't know if he has those powers in the comic. I am surprised that Marlize didn't object more to seeing Clifford be alive in the courtroom & where was the DA?? That was such a weird appeal.

Amunet must be making so much money selling metas.

Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash

The Flash
S04E12
Season 4 Episode 12

Dwarfstar was pretty cool, but they did a bad job of explaining his powers. It also didn't make sense that Vibe & Elongated Man would get big when they get hit with a shrink beam. 

Oh no, the warden is selling meta-criminals to Amunet!? I didn't see that coming. He knows that Barry is the flash! This is all terrible.

I didn't expect the Flash to break Ratchet out of prison to china. He should have been nauseous though. I didn't like how Harrison called Ray Palmer's shrinking stuff, amateurish.

Cecille becoming a telepath was really stupid. What was the point of that? They should have sent her to Davoe's house, instead they went to couple's counseling. What a dumb side story.

The Elongated Knight Rises

The Flash
S04E11
Season 4 Episode 11

This was a pretty good episode. With EM going up against Prank & Trickster 2. I like that they keep using actors from the old Flash TV show. Maybe I'll watch it in the summer.  

Who is that weird girl who writes speedforce? I hope she explains that they translated it wrong.

Stretchy man wasn't that good a name but in a city with "The Flash" why not "The Stretch"? The elongated man is the worse name, if they are going to change Vibe & Gypsy so drastically, they could have changed his stupid stupid name. I honestly don't know why his name wasn't changed in the comics in the 90s.

Poor Barry is really depressed without Iris. Shouldn't Iron Heights have his rogues in there? I guess his enemies are mostly dead. Is anyone still imprisoned in star labs?

The Trial of The Flash

The Flash
S04E10
Season 4 Episode 10

This episode was good but it was so frustrating. People liked seeing Prometheus beat the Green Arrow last season, because they were angry with the show. Nobody is angry with The Flash so it sucked watching Barry get convicted. I think he should have revealed his identity.

Sucks about Fallout, he had no idea what was going on. Earth-15 is a dead earth, maybe they should start sending their criminals there.

I like the conversation that Elongated Man gave Joe. Cecile sucks as a lawyer. How did she not spin it into the black dude murdering the husband to get the wife? I'm glad the wife is still repulsed by the new body, it's pretty funny.

The only problem with the trial was motive. Why would Barry Allen kill the Thinker? Why stalk him in the 1st place? None of it makes sense.

Stupid Thinker, The Flash knows the future & he knows he wins, so does Reverse-Flash.

Don't Run

The Flash
S04E09
Season 4 Episode 9

What!? I did not see that coming. Davoe made a deal with bootleg witchblade, then switched bodies with some random dude. That is insane. I didn't like how the wife was able to kiss him so easily. That seemed unbelievable.

"Bacon beer!!!"

Why didn't The Flash use his arm tornadoes to cushion his landing. I guess that would have killed people. How awesome was Vibe's enhancements!! They scoffed when that hacker used them, but it came in handy! I really like how he was vibrating so fast that he seemed invisible. He should have been able to outrun the octopus chair. 

I'm glad he realized that he shouldn't run. the evidence will show he didn't do it. He has a house full of witnesses, even the black Thinker was there.

Crisis on Earth-X, Part 3

The Flash
S04E08
Season 4 Episode 8

Ret-conned Gay Ray is on Earth-X!? What a weird way to introduce him. How are they going to explain his existence & how he got to another Earth?

The Red Tornado!! That's awesome, I totally forgot that they had the Red Tornado on Supergirl. That is so cool. This crossover just got so much better. The Flash really is the best show out of all 4 of them! 

I like how Jax had no idea about the pink triangles or the stars of David. It shows how millenials whine about Nazi's all the time but in reality they don't know know the 1st thing about them.

A Nazi waverider!! That is so evil, I didn't even think of that. I was kind of hoping that white Green Arrow would shoot Earth-X Felicity. That would have been hilarious!

Green Arrow shoots more arrows on other shows than he does his own show called Arrow!

Therefore I Am

The Flash
S04E07
Season 4 Episode 7

So Davoe he's The Thinker, I have no idea who that is. This was a good episode with The Thinker being 10 steps ahead of him. At least this guy I can believe but Prometheus was just stupid.

I can't believe Barry said his Spidey-sense is tingling. I can't believe they did another Marvel reference.

He's lucky they didn't give video of him using his super speed to his boss. I expected him to have a better way of dealing with Devoe but he turned into a crazy stalker, harassing Devoe. Luckily that dude had to get back in his chair.

Ugh Why is Kid Flash back? I admit it was funny when he mentioned Starro.

When Harry Met Harry

The Flash
S04E06
Season 4 Episode 6

To make up for last episode's complete disaster, we got The Flash going after a murderous social justice warrior! The native American sjw was a violent criminal even before Black Bison got her powers, so that was accurate.

"Do you remember back in the day when we wouldn't calmly consider a stone statue our prime suspect?"

I like how Ralph was saying every girl's measurements out loud. The Council of Wells was good too. I liked that they did show how smart they are at the end.

Ralph's costume does like terrible. His mask shouldn't be so loose if it's made out of stretchy material.

Girls Night Out

The Flash
S04E05
Season 4 Episode 5

What a horrendously terrible episode. Not even British Witchblade could save it. 

It was so stupid, they went on & on about stupid feminism but at the end, the girls let both criminals just walk away & they didn't even help the victim at all not, even medical attention. Is Cecille just a complete moron? They had a meta-task force with that leg immobilizer that they used on The Flash but the girls went to stop Amunet on their own & the grrlpower squad was a fail as vigilantes. Plus why the hell was Cecille on the computer if Felicity was there? That's the only thing she's good at.

Then they had Cecille's stupid college daughter as a stripper & when she got caught she pretended that she was doing feminist research about the male gaze? The mental gymnastics she went though was amazing. At least Ralph reacted the right way to her excuse. They actually said "hashtag feminism" & even drank male tears. It was the worst episode of a tv show ever.

It over-shadowed how they referenced Ferris Air & how Felicity referenced The Hulk!? So they watch Marvel movies? Not Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde?

Elongated Journey into Night

The Flash
S04E04
Season 4 Episode 4

His name is elongated man & he thinks plastic man is a dumb name.

The flash ran up his arm to the helicopter!

I like that Barry Allen has considered his actions as a vigilante. It's been obvious to everyone who watches how they just throw people in those cells without a trial, it's obvious they are guilty but still, as The Flash he tramples all over their rights. And Ralph Dibney was trying to catch a criminal.

Gypsy's dad Josh was pretty funny. That was great hoe Cisco pulled out a machete!
