No the man who constantly keeps secrets from the person he wants to spend his life with and excludes them from conversations regarding huge life decisions.

Yep, I still like the character but the problem has been with some of the writing, not the character as a whole. They don't always know what to do with her but when they remember what makes her great then I think she still works really well and can be super enjoyable. Also frustrating when people try to act like she's…

The Flash finale was especially disheartening when I started remembering how great the S1 finale was. Especially in the scene that explicitly references a scene from that finale you can't help but compare them.

And the fact that they killed him off despite being great just highlights what a problem Malcolm has become. I love Barrowman and his performance here is generally a lot of fun but they just don't know what to do with the character and should write him off. He has done so many horrible irredeemable things but then its…

Especially since for most of the show's run Diggle has sort of been his moral compass. Laurel gave advice a few times this season but hardly the heart of the team. Honestly every time someone said "what she would have said" I didn't even know if it was right cause I don't feel like she was developed enough to really…

Every time they came on this episode I was just like "Oh right, this again. Can we just not?"

Honestly none of it was relevant. Besides maybe giving him some sort of reason to go to Russia next season. Anything they revealed in flashbacks had already been revealed in present day so it was all repetitive and way less interesting. As much as I generally wish they'd just stop the flashbacks I'm cautiously…

I am so happy to never see that wig again. It's part of why the s3 flashbacks were even worse than this season because at least I didn't have to look at that hair.

I half expected them to all start cheering throughout his speech and was fully prepared to laugh at how absurd it is. That didn't really happen but still pretty close. I just couldn't believe that this one guy shouting not loud gets everyone to stop just by yelling once and then a minute later the people who were all…

This bugged me as well, especially with the episodes so close together that you can't help but notice the difference.

Yep, Thea deserves a break but also I love her and always need more of her in this show so she needs to come back soon. Then everyone else can leave and it can just be about how awesome she is.

She was literally sitting there staring at her pants doing nothing with a fireplace full of lit candles, it was strange.

Pretty much agree with this whole review but also got super excited about the Farscape shout out. That show is the best and I too still have a little hope that it might return for a time.

When they said "I'm sorry for your loss" at the funeral but referring to Nevada I laughed so much. How everything at that point doubled as both losses was great.

That shot was so awesome. One of the benefits of having this in the show versus reading it. Even knowing it's going to happen it was so great and really added to the building tension in the scene.

Although they could have had that line then cut to Jamie hearing him cry out and then the duel challenge, if you cut out the in-between stuff where it really showed the rape it would have still worked, or honestly I don't even know if the challenge was entirely necessary since we know it happened, could have had Jamie…

Honestly when she quoted it this episode it started making me emotional (also cause I was already there from earlier scenes), I'm going to miss Master Raymond. I think they've done a great job with him and really good casting, he even matches the physical description quite well.

Same, I had issues with them showing as much of the rape as they did but with the warning at the beginning I was worried they might show even more which I was grateful they didn't. Even with that though I loved this episode and thought it was done so well and was really powerful. Balfe was so amazing that not having…

I really loved that scene and I thought it was very effective having those flashback scenes that we hadn't seen before at the end of the episode. Not just seeing it but her telling Jamie was powerful and it was nice to see Louise be a real friend which we have only seen glimpses of until now.

Seriously I was crying for so much of this despite knowing what would happen and bracing myself for it. Balfe's face just killed me, she was amazing.
