The Flash Season 4 Episode 1 "The Flash Reborn" Review


Barry is brought out of the Speed Force to help fight an armored villain, but he isn't the same person.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was a great reintroduction of where they left off last season. I really loved the beginning part of this episode where it shows what all Team Flash is up to since Barry disappeared and how bad they all feel carrying on without him. It was a little weird to see how angry Iris got whenever someone talked to her about how she was feeling and asked why she was being so bossy, but once it was revealed that she was being angry at them because she was working so hard to keep everyone together for Barry. Then how they got Barry back was really interesting with them creating this cube that has some of Barry's DNA in it so that they could try and trick the speed force. It was a really interesting idea but I don't think it will last so I'm curious to see what will happen when the speed force does come back to bite them. I really like Catlin being back as a member of the team and I'm excited for more of her story because they seem to be doing a Jackyll and Hyde kind of thing between her and Killer Frost. I am a little disappointed that Julian isn't around because he was a really great addition to the team but I can kind of understand it because if they have Catlin they don't necessarily need him. I wished they would have explained more how Barry got out of his crazy incoherent state because one moment he was just mindlessly writing and the next he was fine so what happened there. Then I really hope all the weird writing that Barry did come back to help them in some way because otherwise showing all that work would kind of be a waste. Then the parts with the Samuroid was really interesting with everything they did and how they tried to trick it, and then the ending was a great introduction to The Thinker. And just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode and I'm really excited to see what they will do next.
