That was pretty much perfect. Fantastic decision to wait until episode 9 to bring back the Jester singing the theme song and the rest of the songs were great too. I'm pleased that they tied up enough of the storylines to be satisfying if there's no season 3, but with enough there to make me hope for another season.

We spinsters like just enough PDA to confirm a happy ending. Any more than that is just rubbing it in.

I am beyond pumped for this, but at the same time wondering how ASP is going to get past the clusterfuck that was most of season six and all of season seven. Is she going to ignore parts (please ignore the existence of April) or try to awkwardly blend them?

I agree that they've stepped up, but it's still completely obvious when they switch between the shots of Willa/Katie and their stuntwomen. That just doesn't happen with Caity Lotz.

This episode was better than last week, but still too many characters even after losing Hawkman. There's also a very big gap between the performances of the actors that have been in their characters for a while and the rest. Sara and Cold are the clear standouts, with Ray and Steiner coming up second.

Agree with everything except downgrading Steiner. He's worth having around to dismiss Ray's credentials and to have Sara flirt with him.

All of Sara's fight scenes are fantastic and make me wince slightly when I think of the windmilling punches that both Katie Cassidy and Willa Holland throw on Arrow and the very obvious difference between them and their respective stuntwomen. There's a real physicality to Caity Lotz's performance that the other Arrow…

I don't think he lost ALL his money. I think it's established in the comic season 2.5 that he still had a fair bit of money via a trust fund but that it wasn't enough to bankroll Team Arrow operations to the same extent as previously. So it's relative poverty for someone that was formerly a billionaire.

One of the only things I've enjoyed on Flash this season is Cisco v Harry. Caitlyn's just mooching around in the background looking all doe-eyed and Barry's been a stroppy shit. Plus there was all that time dedicated to setting up Legends of Tomorrow that felt jarring. It's been disappointing, really.

I wouldn't mind keeping Professor Stein, if only so he can keep calling Ray Mr Palmer and not remembering him from his college lectures. Setting in stone that he absolutely needs a second half to stay alive was a bad move, I think.

That felt jarring to me, too. Obviously Octavia's treatment on the Ark is driving her to embrace Grounder culture, but treating Lincoln like some traitor to what's originally his culture, not hers, when he's stuck between a death sentence and support/acceptance from the Arkers felt like a step too far.

I think saying that this has considerable promise is overselling it a bit. Half the team is either forgettable or annoying and there are far too many characters. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this ever reaches anything above mildly entertaining.

It won't be Laurel purely because the writers will want it to have a significant impact on the audience. And I don't think they want that impact to be wild cheering from 90% of us.

In fairness, season one was Oliver indiscriminately dropping bodies left, right and centre. Since then, he's killed Vertigo to save Felicity and Ra's to save the city after recognising it was the only way to get Ra's to stop. The ghosts were killing themselves, he was just roughing them up a bit.

It's a pretty massive diamond. Maybe she just thinks it's tacky to flaunt it at a funeral? I'm struggling to think up any plausible alternatives to a breakup.

I only got one episode into Master of None, but if Colin Salmon's in it I might have to give it another shot.

I think the kid will feature in Darhk's plans. I think a future episode is called "Taken"? I'm thinking the kid gets kidnapped and that's when Felicity finds out.

I hope you're wrong, but I kind of agree. I think Barry would really only show up in the middle of a Zoom crisis for Digg or Thea (and only then because she's Oliver's sister).

Exactly. I personally loved that Oliver threw that back in her face. I don't know why the writers have decided to make Laurel the one to butt heads with Oliver, because usually when she's telling him off for doing something stupid it's something she's already done herself.

Worth it. I love how he keeps his aggressively Australian accent in everything he does, regardless of setting/character. And I say that as an Australian with a non-aggressive accent.
