Well, to be fair, in my lit classes we analyzed the FUCK out of Shakespeare's comedies, too.

Fantastic end to a fantastic series. I want to reread the book now (and try to rewatch the whole show in a single day)!

Strange gave her her "dearest wish" — whether he should have is definitely a good question, but that it's what she wanted seems to be how the magic worked.

Wasn't that Wally West? Dunno, though. They just said Earth 1/ Earth 2 and they already threw the Jay Garrick hat in the ring, so I expect it'll be some kind of riff on the original Flash of Two Worlds idea.

They've already confirmed they'll be intro'ing Earth 2 next season. *geeeeeeks ouuuuut*

Literally the only bomb they left unexploded in this episode is the, "Oh, yeah, and Thea? Malcolm Merlyn — your dad whom I've convinced you we have to work with to survive this whole R'as al Ghul thing — drugged you and made you kill your friend Sara in cold blood, so… yeah."

d'oh! should've scrolled more…

Good! I mean, how could they cancel it?

I don't think I'd be disgruntled if they surprised me.

I'm sure a bazillion other comments have already said so, but tall blond new tenant girl is the behatted assassin who took out Krzeminski.

Man, that would be one fantastic (and fantastically depressing) TV series if anyone dared adapt it straight from the pages. Brian K Vaughan really owes me some money to cover all this therapy I've had to have, thanks to him.

You were a journalist major.
Well, that explains a lot, actually.

I'm pretty sure Jason Heller was shown "Night and Fog" which is an AMAZING Holocaust documentary made in the 50s, but I'm not sure I'd think it appropriate for middle schoolers. It is really intense.

"Oh! Fries are pomme frites!"
I love that movie. Been too long since I've seen it…

Oh, so HE had no trouble figuring out the internet. GREAT.

That sounds in no way like a scene from a wasted life.

I think Lance not knowing who Arrow is has reached Commissioner Gordon not knowing his daughter is Batgirl status — that is, he totally knows and is just not saying anything 'cause he's cool like that (please note: I'm going by old DC continuity — no idea how they're probably farking that nice dynamic up in the New…
