I binge watched Season 1 on Netflix then watched Season 2 mostly as it aired. After rewatching Season 2 on DVD, I'll say that the Finn storyline definitely plays better on a binge rather than watching week-to-week.

I just realized. In "Ye Who Enter Here", Titus mentioned that he had been the "Flamecap" to four Commanders. With this episode's reveal, the title "Flamecap" may very well be a linguistic corruption of "firewall".

Don't you need special equipment for it, though?

You know something it would be interesting to see at some point? A Grounder who is 100+ years old and can actually remember the world pre-apocalypse. With Lexa's and other Grounders' talk about how things have "always" been a certain way, bringing in someone with that different perspective would be neat.

We really don't know a whole lot about Jackson.

Didn't she already see the blood of a City of Lighter when Otan got shot?

I'm assuming the hydroponics were all in Farm Station, which is currently somewhere deep in Ice Nation territory, and they don't necessarily have the resources to build more.

Kane addressed this last week:

Their plan was, theoretically, to force the Grounders to leave without hurting them. Which is, ya know, still a bad thing, but pretty far down on the list of bad things our heroes have done.

Saying Ted and Robin live happily ever after is ignoring how the whole finale is about how happily ever after isn't real, that people's lives keep changing, with all the ups and downs, regardless of what arbitrary point in time you choose to stop telling the story.

This whole episode feels like they realized a bunch of plotlines have been in stall mode for too long, so decided to suddenly move them all forward a tremendous amount. The flashbacks are just where the stalling was most pronounced.

Well, she DOES know he's running for mayor in a city where everyone who tries to do that ends up murdered. That's gotta count for something.

Pshaw, we all know who the REAL best villain in Arrow is.

Holy shit, that's some good synchronocity!

I wanted to see her facing Darhk, we see her channeling the CGI spirit of a blue whale, then we cut to a few moments later with her just casually sitting on him.

It'd be kind of hilarious if she found out she could walk again ten minutes earlier, then got back in her wheelchair just so she could shock Oliver by suddenly stepping out of it.

"But where can I possibly find an abandoned building in Detroit to put my lair in?"

Yes, because the finale cycles through a bunch of archetypal endings (selling the apartment, birth of a child, Ted/Tracy's wedding), and the fact that each one is followed by something else is to drive the point home that none of what happens is actually an ENDING.

Actually, my understanding was that HIMYM's ratings didn't change very much from season to season. It's just that, over the course of its nine year run, the landscape of television changed so much that ratings which would put a CBS show "on the bubble" in 2006 were considered stunningly successful by 2014.

But they GAVE us the grand romantic happy ending. They just showed how the characters' lives kept changing AFTER that ending.
