History AndTheFandomRejoiced / TheFlash2014

* The announcement that Lisa Snart, Captain Cold's sister who in the comics is the Rogue known as Golden Glider, will be portrayed by Creator/PeytonList - best known for her recurring role as Jane Sterling on ''Series/MadMen''. Her actual debut adds to the awesome as she breaks her brother Len and his partner Mick out of prison mid-transit, off-screen at that.

* "Invincible" gives us the appearance of Earth-2 Laurel Lance with an [[MakeMeWannaShout actual screaming superpower]]. The rejoicing is because it serves as an AuthorsSavingThrow not only for the unpopular decision to kill-off Laurel late into ''Arrow'' Season 4, but for all the alleged character mishandling/mistreatment that she's been getting since the ''Arrow'' Season before it to be sort-of rectified with her appearance. As the doppelganger has traits that is more in-line with the comics ComicBook/BlackCanary, a proper iteration of the character maybe coming to the Series/{{Arrowverse}} soon.

* Season 9 brings back Batwoman, Nia Nal, Oliver, Diggle, and the Reverse-Flash one more time!

* Season 8 premieres with a special {{Crossover}} event that will bring in other Arrowverse characters for a whopping '''''5''''' episodes, easily making this on par with ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''. Among the characters that will appear will be [[Series/Batwoman2019 Ryan Wilder]] in her first crossover appearance, Sentinel appearing after ''Series/Supergirl2015'' wraps up, Ryan Choi making his first appearance since the Crisis, Brandon Routh returning to play The Atom after leaving ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' and last but not least is... Black Lightning making a return!

* [[{{SuperCouple}} Barry and Iris]] are getting married in the crossover of Season 4. Which is called '''Crisis on Earth-X'''. Needless to say, the fandom lost their minds.

** Nora West-Allen is also returning for the 150th episode

** In "Abra Kadabra", Kadabra mentions Thawne, Savitar, and Zoom in his final monologue, but he also mentions one name we ''don't'' recognize: [=DeVoe=]. As in ''Clifford'' [=DeVoe=], the Thinker. Could this be our fourth-season, non-speedster villain?

* "Infantino Street" shows King Shark and name drops Grodd's name on a holding cell. Another holding cell also name drops '''CHEETAH'''! Seems there's a [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Diana]] on this Earth as well.
* [[spoiler: Iris West-Allen's reappearance in the Red Skies newspaper. The show finally managed to avert killing Iris, and her survival was the final nail in Savitar's coffin.]]

* [[TheBusCameBack Accelerated Man returns]] in . [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BhzysDZHVDa/?taken-by=robgreenlea "Therefore She Is"]] [[spoiler:Alas, it was only a short cameo.]]

* Bart Allen / Impulse is finally appearing in the 150th episode of the series. He will be portrayed by Creator/JordanFisher.

* In "The Death of Vibe" when discussing various heroes that tried to capture Cicada Nora mentions "The League" among them. Clear proof that the Justice League will one day exist in this world.

* The announcement that Lisa Snart, Captain Cold's sister who in the comics is the Rogue known as Golden Glider, will be portrayed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyton_List_(actress,_born_1986) Peyton List]] - best known for her recurring role as Jane Sterling on ''Series/MadMen''. Her actual debut adds to the awesome as she breaks her brother Len and his partner Mick out of prison mid-transit, off-screen at that.

* Among the main cast is also going to be recent JLA fan-favourite Vibe, and Hartley Rathway, AKA [[BadassGay Pied Piper]]. The latter is: a) being portrayed by the openly bisexual Andy Mientus (who is enthusiastic about the role); and b) is confirmed to be gay just like in the comics. Fan response had been ''very'' positive.

** Then there's the fact the freaking '''[[Series/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold MUSIC MEISTER]]''' is set to be the villain of the crossover. Even better, Darren Criss has been cast to play as him. Glee fans, rejoice! They're singing together on TV again!

* Gideon ''nearly'' name dropping theJustice League by saying that Barry is "a founding member of -" . [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/403fcce9428ad25d658f3b2156e0b1a1/tumblr_nnblwu6Ndj1tbsjlbo1_1280.png In the promo comic for ''The Trap'' Gideon actually does gets the word Justice out.]]

* There was some excitement when the Season 5 trailer showed that Barry would use "the Flash ring".

* For the most part Diggle's participation in "Think Fast" was well received, even if Diggle's popularity decreased a bit.
* Iris West using her journalistic skills to research about [=DeVoe=] and write an exposé against him was well received.
* Ralph was not erased, but trapped on [=DeVoe=]'s mind. He had a big hug with Barry and recovered his body.
