The ninth and final season of _The Flash_ premieres Wednesday, Feb 9. After the shambles of the previous two seasons, will the show go out with a bang? What kind of cameos can we expect? Speaking of cameos, can the last surviving Arrowverse show give the _Legends of Tomorrow_ some closure?

I wonder if the original intention was to premiere the episode on Feb 1, but it got pushed back for some reason. For a moment, I thought the big bad was going to be Reverse Flash (again!), but it turns out it will be Batman – or rather Batwoman – related. There was even a hint of the _Batwoman_ theme. I guess they’re going to try to resolve some of the Batwoman loose ends here. (How about the giant loose end from Legends?) ---

I had stopped watching a few seasons ago (I think Iris was still in a mirror to give some context) would I be crazy to jump in now to just see how this ends or should I go back and try to catch up? ---

I didn’t expect to see Hartley ever again, after he wandered off in the aftermath of one of Barry’s many timeline fuckups. Though it makes thematic sense for Pied Piper to engage in a sonic battle against the Fiddler. As for Caitlin’s demise, could they at least do a proper send off for her rather than, you know, go dancing with the new girl at Hartley’s club? It’s like the writers (I’m looking at you Eric Wallace) didn’t know how to resolve Caitlin’s dilemma from last season and so just invented a new character. > [@Quimby](#): > > I had stopped watching a few seasons ago (I think Iris was still in a mirror to give some context) would I be crazy to jump in now to just see how this ends or should I go back and try to catch up? The past couple of seasons were pretty forgettable. I’d just jump in to this one.
