(SPOILERS)

Busy.

Wait, is this a thing? Please tell me this is a thing.

I dunno, like Naomi Watts, I'm cheerfully optimistic.

I liked her review but yeah I was bummed we didn't get to see his wrap-up of the season…

I'm really happy with 'The 100' pushing back and saying "look this is the story we want to tell and we don't want the full episode count" because the tightness the narrative is just so stellar. I'm impatiently waiting for season 2 to pop up on Netflix so I can watch it in binge-mode.

Oh god they really did. Right down to the sunshine-y ending. Wow.

I really just wanted Nyssa to stab Merlyn through the chest in that scene — just end the season with a satisfying the what hell just happened death and establish her as the rightful Demon's Head.

Considering how internal this season was, it's surprising how little thought out Ra's was a character — his motivations kept jumping around all season. The actor killed it though. His look at the camera after he's killed Oliver in the winter finale is one of the redeeming moments of the season for me.

I'm an olicity person but not one of the super fan olicity people. I think this season mishandled them and really mishandled Felicity. That being said, I still like the characters together and think their dynamic is one of the strongest parts of the show when it's treated right.

Don't forget they just skipped over all of Felicity's feelings about not being included in the plan and being lead to Nanda Parbat so that she could believe Oliver was trying to kill her… and she gave up her job and most likely the company for Oliver… and she gave up Barry's identity even though that's not her…

I just stick with the theory that Murtaugh knows all and is actually, the best. Because he IS.

Yeah, it's like asking — "why was it you?" There's something internal, intrinsic that you can't get at by film. That being said, there should be an intimacy to it — you have to feel like you're the artist, not the audience…

So there's legitimate talent behind this - Greengrass is a great director, the scripts for 8 Mile and The Fighter are good — but what are the good music biopics?
Control is my favorite, and the Doors is decent, but yeah… how do you actually do this without becoming parody or rote?

If he had told Diggle this was his plan, it could have been different. But apparently Oliver doesn't trust Diggle enough to share the game plan. Or Oliver trusts Malcolm, who killed 500 people and TOMMY, to tell Diggle. Either way, WTF?

Also this episode negates Oliver's entire arch this season — he supposedly grew, learned to trust, until he's back here doing things on his own and not telling anyone… what movement has he had this season?? HE LOST DIGGLE.

To be fair, remember what 2x22 was to this…

It still weirds me out (and I know it shouldn't, because it's Arrow) that we had a wedding of a heterosexual male to a homosexual female….

Ha, but taking account the comics, how great would it be if season 4 was like "here's the cast — BUT DEMENTED THANKS TO THE LAZARUS PIT"

Honestly I really do think the crew decided "we'll hit plot points" this season and have been just manipulating the characters to hit those points …. and yeah, not working…
