This show should have been on Netflix. I know people say every time a network or cable show they like gets cancelled, but in this case I think it might actually be true.

I loved "Teen Wolf" at its best, too. But this show felt NECESSARY. For all of the pulpy hijinks, it portrayed surviving sexual assault and living with mental illness from the inside with empathy, humor and moments of aching realism. We definitely need more of that.

This is one of those cancellations that bums me the fuck out.

But the average grounder is part of a large army. It's like the difference between being a private in general infantry and being an Army ranger or Navy SEAL. The latter is going to see a lot more action than the former, even if the former has more time in the service.

If I was with any of the other clans, I'd start rooting for Skaikru to prevail once my own champion got knocked out. There's only 400 and change of them left at this point, after all, and with the survival of the human race at stake they're not going to leave the other 700-plus spots empty.

It's true that she took the Luke Skywalker on Dagobah route with her training, but she's also been battle-hardened via a more or less constant series of brutal encounters since, with an escalating series of increasingly formidable opponents. Your average Grounder warrior was probably much better trained, but hasn't

Emori was crucial to his redemption, because he cares more about her than he cares about himself. And that selflessness is transformational.

Me too, even though it's looking less and less likely.

It sure took a long time for the qualities I loved about Rick Gonzalez on "Reaper" to emerge on this show with Wild Dog. But now that they have, it's sure paying dividends. The relationship between Quentin and René is probably the most successful development of season five for me. And I started out the season really

Diggle DID just spend a significant period incarcerated because a shadowy arm of the government framed him for a crime he didn't commit.

She IS Oliver Queen's last surviving biological relation in Star City.

I think the writers are going for amusing when he's trying (and failing) to be funny during really tense situations. But really, they're just shredding and undermining the tension they're trying to create.

Somehow over the course of the season, Wild Dog went from being my least favorite character to far and away my favorite of the newbies. The relationship between Quentin and René is wonderful.

There's nothing worse than when you're self-righteously lecturing your partner about not trusting your play, and said play literally blows up in your face.

Yup, metaphor as science.

Whatever other problems the show may have, they finally gave us a suit where the belt forms a lightning bolt around his waist. The maroon belt with the couple tiny lightning bolts by the buckle has driven me nuts since the pilot.

I love that Future Barry's basically like, "Knowing my 2017 self as I do, he's gone and run into danger with no plan whatsoever again, hasn't he?"

Well, to be fair, she was more focused on childishly one-upping her old boss and didn't bother to think of a question before throwing herself into the mix.

Mon-El, I know you've got a thing for the young woman and all, but Kara Danvers is NOT the person to take journalism pointers from. She's the cautionary tale of what not to do.

It's especially jarring to me as someone who stuck it out through all ten seasons of "Smallville". Even on that show's most ambitious day, they never would have had anything as successful as Supergirl flight through the city on the way to the DEO at the beginning of this episode.
