Superb finish that gave me everything I need to wrap the season and set the stage for the next. Well done.

Yes, there was someone running through the forest. But I have no idea whom it could be.

Krypton not exploding would indicate the Flashpoint had an amazing galactic ripple. I would be inclined to believe Flashpoint would be limited to Earth.

For the unwashed, what was the Star Trek: The Next Generation reference?

Actually I liked the Roy, Tommy, et. al. holograms. It reinforced the idea that Oliver was looking back at life as if through a glass darkly.

I wish I could upvote this twice. Oh, wait…

Making this story a Flashpoint incident would have transformed this from a thoughtful and heart rending story of Oliver & friends considering what could have been into an exercise in finding new and exciting ways for everyone (i.e., characters and fans) to hate Barry Allen. But, your point is well taken.

Laurel did ask if she truly preferred girls after their first encounter with Ray Palmer at the first party or reception. And Sarah said 'he was hot.' I get the feeling that Sarah is open to engagement if opportunities present themselves.

That was not Manu Bennett playing Deathstroke, but it is disappointing he was not available for this episode.

Gotham is a hot mess, but I dig it. I think it is the wide-eyed glee of the villains and the absolute absurdity of their evil plots that sells it for me. I think Bruno Heller and company have found a way to channel the camp and fun of the Adam West era Batman for our darker, modern era of television.

I thought it was rather gracious of the producers to not only appreciate a character who has passed away but to acknowledge the actor and his current accomplishments.

Was that what that (Cyborg Woman) was referencing? By the way, if there are future mega-crossovers, the showrunners need to bring J'onn J'onzz along for the ride. But leave scenery chewing Cyborg Superman back, at least for the time being.

True, but this season resonates well with those first two. I hope Arrow stays its current course.

Smart and sexy is great. But also being an android presentation of psychopathy? Not so much.

A most reasonable scenario. My only issue is how Ford and Weber got the funding to lease or buy that territory from the National Park System for what appears to have been a start up operation. Of course, going off world would not be astronomically expensive (pun intended), so Canyonlands NP it is.

I think 'Westworld' owes more of its DNA to 'Memento' than 'LOST.' (By the way, I enjoyed 'LOST' a great deal.) Like 'Memento' the viewer is forced to paste together a lot of seemingly disjointed scenes in order to comprehend the story and its conclusions about memory and experience.

You need to watch both seasons of 'The Leftovers.' The first season is a well of despair. I like it because I like the book (which had some humour about it that was missing from the show) but many did not and I get their criticisms. The second year is terrific in my opinion and builds well on what came before it.

So the POTUS was killed in this episode. That is kind of a big deal. Well I think it is. I would go so far as to say it might even make the papers; get your pad and pencil out Iris you have possible headline making news story to write! I mention this because it appears that it is being treated like an afterthought.

Only if they get Joss Whedon to write and direct the musical episode.

And who could that be?
