I wonder why they were so secretive about it? Perhaps they initially signed a one year deal and negotiations fell through? He seemed pretty willing to return and they didn't end his storyline in 3x23, so it didn't seem like he was leaving either. I'm pretty sure the Comic Con TVGuide article said they had signed a deal for her to recur, so I hope that means Cynthia is still coming back. Especially since they even cast an actor to play her father. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7120-the-flash-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-3490630

Also from TV Line: Spoiler Pedowitz also made clear that unlike last year’s event, which technically started but barely took place on Supergirl, “It’s a full, four-episode crossover.” As for how one tops an alien invasion as a premise for the all-star team-up, all he would say is, “Romance is in the air.” 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7120-the-flash-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-3513837

Trini August 4, 2017 Share August 4, 2017 (edited) A couple more quotes from the cast from Comic Con about Season 4 - *Spoilers*: Quote The finale saw [Barry] taking Jay Garrick's (John Wesley Shipp) place in the Speed Force and rather than endless torment, he'll finally find some peace. "He's able to just let go a lot of the things he feels guilty about, a lot of the hardship he's had to deal with," Gustin tells TV Guide. Those hardships include losing his close friend Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) to her alter ego Killer Frost and realizing the bad guy trying to kill his fiancé was actually his future self. "Not only was he the big bad towards the end of the season, but he kinda set everything in motion that was bad news last year," he added. "So hopefully, not only for Barry but for the viewers...for Team Flash, there could be kind of a forgiveness and we could move on from all of the drama that happened last year." Also, Hollywood Reporter has a roundup of spoilers for the DCTV shows; with quotes from the producers and network execs about the crossover episodes.

Trini August 24, 2017 Share August 24, 2017 Blake Neely talks about making the soundtracks for the DC shows: Quote Neely started there, then, with creating a theme for Barry the scientist, not the Flash, the superhero. Where Arrow was all strings and brass, Barry's theme was faster (sorry), lighter and included more electronic sounds. The orchestras were kept the same to create continuity between the shows (and presumably for budgetary reasons). The strings and brass, which Neely calls "the glue," were also still there. Once Barry Allen was set, it was time to tackle the Scarlet Speedster. For that, it was back to the dark room, this time with images of jet engines and propulsion. The Flash was, in a way, more difficult than the Arrow theme, because the composer had been seeped in the darkness of Star City for so long. Still, he powered through and eventually created the hopeful, sci-tech score you hear on screen.

RedVitC September 1, 2017 Share September 1, 2017 Article/essay. It's hard to pick out quotes for this, so I just picked out a few here and there, but I'm not sure how much it flows out of context: Why Black Women Need Iris West Quote For too many years, there have been a limited number of black women in healthy relationships on television. In the Flash series, Iris West is the object of Barry Allen’s complete and utter affection. There aren’t very many women of any color that can say they wouldn’t want a partner to see them in that light. Imagine being a woman or a girl who rarely sees herself reflected in the images that she sees on television, even though she is an avid watcher and admirer of the small screen. Imagine being a woman who never sees a man care for her just for who she is. Imagine not ever seeing a friendship be the solid foundation on which love is eventually built. In the relationship between Iris and Barry, we see all of that and more. Quote Black females desperately need to see themselves held in that regard and reciprocating that type of love when they turn on the t.v. In fact, white females need to see it as well. It is because we don’t see it enough that Candice Patton’s role is so controversial to too many people. There are not enough images of black women being loved unconditionally on television without scandal or secrecy, so when it is presented to us we act out in a variety of ways. Quote The Flash is a fun, family friendly series that tackles relationship drama as expertly as it tackles heroics. The dynamic of Iris and Barry is a big part of why the show is so successful and simultaneously one of the reasons it gets so much criticism. The creators and writers of the show are courageous for their casting decision and for the way they have continued to beautifully craft the story of Barry and Iris. Though wrought with superhero angst, their relationship is portrayed in a healthy light. Candice Patton is brave to continue on in this role knowing the gravity of what her portrayal means not only for black girls but all girls. Her presence on the show as a leading lady, deserving of love for no other reason than being herself, is a much-needed gift and lesson to all of us who watch each week. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7120-the-flash-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-3600463
