The Flash Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Until recently, 26 year-old Barry Allen lived a normal life as a C.S.I. in the Central City Police department. He was secretly in love with his best friend, Iris West, daughter of Barry’s surrogate father, Detective Joe West. Joe adopted Barry fifteen years ago after Barrys mother was murdered and Barrys father, Henry Allen, received a life sentence for the crime—though Barry always maintained that a mysterious ‘Man in Yellow’ was responsible. Then the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter lightning storm that affected Barry, bestowing him with superspeed and making him the fastest man alive.
I had previously purchaced all of the Flash, Arrow and Supergirl seasons. Each of these series’ have been great up until now. They have had interesting, entertaining shows without injecting any overreaching social, political or sexual themes. That’s one reason that I liked them. I get so much of that on the news and networks in general.
It was nice to sit down and decompress and watch some shows (Flash, Arrow and Supergirl) that didn’t try to push some ham-fisted socio-political or sexual agendas.
I have since donated all of my Flash, Arrow and Supergirl dvd’s to a local video store. I will now buy any more of any of these series’. They have lost me as a fan.

The first two season were awesome, after that everything kind of fell apart. It just seems no villain could be scarier than Zoom. Season three felt like a repeat of season 2. And season 4 at times seemed cartoonish with the Elongated Man. The Crisis on Earth X, the episode where Iris was transfered the flashes powers, and the very last episode were my favorite episodes. Really only a few episodes in season 4 are worth watching. Rent this to catch up, I’m not sure it’s worth buying.

This season is team flash versus The Thinker, a non-speedster whose arrival was hinted at by Savatar during the third season. The season is basically a part origin story for The Thinker/Clifford Davoe and his wife Marlize, who spend the majority of the season toying with the team, and the execution of their plan, The Enlightenment. Of course, it means pulling Barry out of the speed force where he went into at the end of last season, but doing so had consequences that carried through until the end.
About a third of the way into the season the Earth-X crossover episodes with Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends took place, set around Barry and Iris’ wedding. That was mainly a self-contained story, but as far as the Flash goes, it did introduce a character who will have a big impact on season 5.
Once the crossover crisis is resolved, the rest of the season is spent trying to stop the big bad. This season had less of a case-of-the-week feel and was really just one big story arc that the episodes really did not deviate from. Throughout the season Katee Sackhoff (of Battlestar Galactica fame) had a very good recurring role tied to Caitlin/Killer Frost’s storyline.
For those who get the blu-rays, the show looks and sounds great. All the episodes are spread over 4 discs, and unlike last year, all the crossover episodes are included (on the second disc) so you can watch them all back-to-back, in order without having to go to the discs for the other series (for those who buy all four of them) or steam the other series if you do not want them. That was a big complaint last year, each series just had its hour of the crossover, so it was a pain to watch them all, especially back-to-back. The extras include a gag reel, deleted scenes, a sit-down interview with the showrunners of each show discussing the crossover story, and a couple features on the new characters introduced this season. On the last disc, there are the comic-con highlights from each show. It is the same one included on all the other sets (Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends). It has portions of the panels from every show, not just The Flash panel. Good for what is there if you like going through the bonus material.
