And the fight of the speedsters would become the seasonal theme from there on out. Season 5 was back to normal business and the old formula was polished and now starred the daughter of The Flash and The Reverse Flash. The fans what they asked for and then decided it is not what they wanted but hey…you asked for it and you get what you ask for. Fans were dismayed by the villain Clifford Devoe alias The Thinker. And it worked out for at least half a season. The show then took a big risk by changing it’s formula. And when the show repeated itself for the umpth time by installing another speedster to get Team Flash going, I was almost done with the formula. Along with Arrow season 1 and 2, I still regard that as one of the best shows ever made in the superhero genre.īut as seasons progressed and science fiction became more fiction rather than science. The first seasons of The Flash was some of the best superhero television I have ever watched. So when the Arrowverse decided to make a show about Barry Allen and had the backdoor pilots, I was jumping on my couch and couldn’t wait to see it happen. I have read a lot of The Flash comics as well from the 1940s with such dense writing that it was near impossible to read up until the early 2000s when decompressed writing made its entrance into the world of comicbooks. I watched The Justice League movies with Ezra Miller as The Flash. I watched the 1990’s show with Wesley Shipp, who later joined The Flash as Jay Garrick. Now, we are talking about The Flash and I love The Flash in both comicbooks and TV. They wanted to move on and they should have. Instead, they went on to have eight and the show’s writing became weaker with each season and at some point the actors on that show weren’t feeling it anymore. They should have stopped after the fifth season. But over the years when the shows were renewed, the writing and the plotlines started to falter and that was not just Arrow. The Arrowverse has had many shows and it was great at the beginning. My reaction and fan reactions to the cancellation But I sincerely hope for good closure because the show deserves it. Much like they did with Smallville season 11. But who knows, we may just see them in the comics. I’m now formulating a new, shorter, two-season plan, for Seasons 9 and 10, so I sure hope I get to tell that story, because I know where I’m driving to.“īut we know now that these stories will never see the light of day on television. The first three seasons, 6, 7 and 8, really is one big omnibus. In an interview with TVLine last month, Wallace actually has plans beyond that 9th season. ![]() And when he did he had to rewrite a few scenes in season 8 to ensure there were plotlines ready and waiting for that final season pick up. But little did showrunner Eric Wallace know that the show was going to be renewed. It was fully expected that The Flash was going to end with season 8, which is why the final episode was so incredibly intense and the action was so incredible. So, as we get ready to honor the show’s incredible legacy with our exciting final chapter, I want to say thank you to our phenomenal cast, writers, producers and crew over the years who helped make The Flash such an unforgettable experience for audiences around the world.” So many amazing people have given their talents, time and love to bring this wonderful show to life each week. “And now Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race. “Nine seasons! Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor and spectacle,” executive producer Eric Wallace said in a statement. ![]() It was announced that the last season of The Flash will consist of just 13 episodes so expect a tour of loose plotlines, cameos and guest stars for that final run. After 9 seasons of running and reclaiming the title of The Fastest Man Alive, Barry will finally hang up his golden boots and join the Speed Force permanently. The Flash season 9 will be its last season. ![]()
