The Lazarus Pits also provide an explanation for why Poison Ivy won't be 15 years older than Bruce; an episode or two before the finale, Maggie Geha gets doused and turned back into Clare Foley.

One of the interesting stylistic decisions was to make the opening credits in the style of the original series with the brown letters outlined in green and the end credits in the style of the Fire Walk With Me end credits with the white lettering and the selective use of italics. Really ties the whole thing together.

It's right that it's not presented in a 100 percent objectively certain way, but Nora's desperate need for Kevin to believe it makes me believe that Nora believes it. And that's good enough for me.

I'm really, really grateful for that because after all of the shit Laurie put Jill through in Season 1, to have that phone call with Jill and Tommy and then fucking end it would have been unforgivable. It was my biggest complaint going into this finale, and I'm glad they rectified it.

It would be pretty great if the Michelle Gomez "Missy" Master turned out to be an earlier regeneration than the John Simm Master. It would certainly explain why the Master is out and about when all of the other Time Lords on Gallifrey when the thirteen Doctors hid it away are still stuck there. Has Missy actually…

They needed one person to willingly give up control to them, and then they used that one person to brainwash everyone else. Presumably, on most other planets, the person in question blames themselves for what happened, since they agreed to it, which lessens their desire to strike back against the oppressors.

I enjoyed most of this episode, until the hand-wave resolution that was too tidy and too sentimental.

Yeah, but the twelfth century succession crisis reference was kind of obvious and shallow.

Yes, Lily who was left on the Garvey doorstep in Mapleton at the end of the first season finale.

I kind of wish they'd cast Matt Nable as the Demon's Head, so that I could pretend that the "Gotham" Earth is one of the many Earths in Arrowverse multiverse.

Quick correction: In the opening scene Nora referenced the family plot a few miles away from the bathtub, so I think that scene had to be set in Mapleton at some point between the first season and the second season.

The other way to look at it is that Kevin Sr. thought Kevin Jr. was part of his story, but maybe Kevin Jr. is really part of Nora's story.

The writers have posted tidbits from time to time. The 100 were sent to the ground on September 13, 2149.

Hopefully sans lobster claw.

Eliza Taylor did a great job in that last scene conveying the difference between 19 and 25-26, too. Clarke just FELT older. It probably helped that for the last six years she'd only had to worry about surviving and taking care of this kid instead of making a neverending stream of impossible choices with deep moral…

We really don't know much of anything about Echo's sexuality, but Raven has been pretty clearly established as heterosexual.

I actually hope Evelyn survives so that she learns that a) Chase failed to secure his big moral victory over Oliver Queen and b) Chase was willing to kill her without a second thought in an act of petulant rage.

To be fair, the person she killed was literally seconds away from being erased from existence anyway. So by the "fuck it, time travel means whatever we want it to mean this week" rules of Arrowverse time travel, I don't blame her for not being too torn up about it.

The best part of the episode for me was Caitlin rediscovering her better self without taking the cure. I've said right along that Killer Frost was a psychological construct, and I'm really happy that proved to be so, because cold powers make you evil is just such a stupid, stupid plot device.

"There is strength in anger. I've used it before. And so we sit here, with anger, and try to think of a way to hurt Savitar, maybe kill him, and I just don't think hate's gonna get it done this time."
"What do you mean?"
"Something that Snart said to me. That The Flash should stay a hero, all the way. And sometimes…
