8 Ways To Fix The Flash In Season 4

6) Trim Down Team Flash

Another thing that really made us love The Flash in season 1 was the STAR Labs gang. Cisco Ramone, Caitlin Snow, Harrison Wells and Joe West were a brilliant quartet of characters to root for as they aided Barry Allen in his heroics. Naturally, as shows do, a few more characters were added into the mix to keep things fresh as it continued. Here we are at the end of season 3, however, and the group has almost gotten to be too big to handle.

Nowadays, the STAR Labs gang also includes Wally West, Julian Albert and H.R. Wells, with occasional allies including Jesse Quick, Jay Garrick and Harry Wells. Also in the know are Joe’s girlfriend Cecile and physicist Tracy Brand. The upshot of having such a large band of characters to keep track of is that many of them end up being shortchanged.

One of the worst hit characters is Wally West AKA Kid Flash. In the comics, Wally is a fan favourite, but it feels like we’ve hardly got to know him on the show. For instance, his romance with Jesse Quick has hardly received any attention at all. We’re not suggesting a Walking Dead/Game of Thrones-esque massacre of the supporting cast, of course, but just that a few of these characters be written out of The Flash over a period of time in order to get back to the well-rounded, tight-knit team of old.
