The Flash is coming off its most uneven season to date. Even if Season 3 did pick up considerably towards the end, the show still has a lot to prove as Season 4 gets underway. “The Flash Reborn” had two core tasks set before it. First, it needed to make good on the dramatic Season 3 cliffhanger and take advantage of a Barry Allen-less status quo. Second, it needed to make good on the promise that Season 4 will be a more lighthearted return to form following the relative darkness of Season 3. Unfortunately, this episode only succeeded in one of those tasks.
For the second year in a row, the series has failed to capitalize on what should have been a huge, status quo-shattering twist. The Season 2 finale set the stage for a full-blown adaptation of the Flashpoint comic book storyline, only for Season 3 to quickly and (mostly) painlessly restore the old timeline after one episode. Season 3 ended with Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen walking off into the Speed Force and leaving Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West and the rest of team Flash to carry on in his absence. But once again, rather than really dig into that dramatic upheaval, the show focused more on putting the pieces back in place and restoring a more familiar status quo.

If the season premieres of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow shared anything in common tonight, it’s that neither did a particularly good job of paying off on their respective cliffhangers from last season.In the case of Legends, Season 2 wrapped with the team confronting the fact that they seemed to have broken time for good, resulting in a bizarro version of Los Angeles where pyramids loom and dinosaurs run amok. But as with Flash, that dramatically different status quo didn’t last long before the genie was stuffed back in the bottle. The difference, however, is that “Aruba-Con” made up for this abrupt return to normalcy with more of the zany fun that makes the series such a joy to watch in the first place.
