I think something of an update is overdue...

As you already know, TFIII Season 4 was my next project, and my plan was to watch through it all first, without writing a script as I go along, because I really didn't remember what happened in this season whatsoever. I felt it'd have a stronger script if I knew what everything was leading up to beforehand, rather than having to edit what I've written down if future context ended up changing it.

I've just started episode 21, and I'm not proud of how long it's taking me to watch this season. This has been the single most painful viewing experience I've ever been through. It's probably not surprising, but this season is worse than the last. I'm not sure if I'm ready to call The Thinker worse than Savitar as a villain, since I think Savitar's existence alone is devastatingly catastrophic, but Team Flash has set a new low for their incompetence. I went from having to take a long break after watching a couple episodes back-to-back, to having to take one after watching one episode, to having to take one after watching a couple scenes. Sometimes I've been really tempted to just go back to episode 1 and start writing the script, but I already told myself I'd finish watching first. And I am so close.

I said I would do season 5 immediately after this, but I'm not so sure anymore. I think I'm going to have to make something purely positive after this. This video might have a different tone. I might get louder. It might be a little longer than the last. One thing is certain though: I won't be the same man by the end. And with everything I know about season 4 now, I think the following trilogy of videos deserve a slight title change:

The Flash is Infuriatingly Inconsistent.
