#TheFinalLeaf – MTV

And the destinies and the visions and all the bullshit that drive this show continue to be completely arbitrary. Fill in whatever letters aren't there and the sign says what you want it to say. Follow the graffiti that looks like your tattoo and you'll pass out and wake up with a bigger tattoo and a map in your…

Sometimes I forget where this story is headed. I forget that it's a tragedy. But it's quite clear now that Jimmy's fall from grace and transformation into Saul won't be Chuck's fault, but his own.

How cool was John's prepared magnet response to the sledgehammer guy? I really like how they created a little squad of three distinct villain characters out of what might have just been generic goons.

I would generally say the same of myself about why I watch a show like this, but for whatever reason the William secret isn't bothering me like it is you. I suppose that what I want from a show like Arrow or The Flash isn't necessarily terrific overarching story points but rather for that story to create useful…

It's not like I watch it primarily for the action, but the camera's dynamism through the sets really impressed me tonight. Anyway, I just thought every aspect of the show worked well for once. The character stuff, for example, was genuinely heartwarming; Thea's reassuring talk with Oliver was really considerate, and…

Alasdair, are you drunk?! This was the best episode since season two! God, man, the action staging alone was on another level!

"Were there really only three people to rescue in that hospital Geomancer knocked down?" Ugh, that bothered me so much.

Wow, that page is so evocative for me. I forgot how much I liked this comic when I was young; it seems to have made more of an impression on me than I had realized.

I kind of thought he was going to kill himself with that nail he found. His life is so sad in the present.

Donna, I liked this review so much (and suddenly remembered how perceptive your writing always has been) that I looked up your Twitter account and followed you. That's… Okay, that sounds weird, but it's the correct way to pay tribute to someone in 2016, isn't it?

I feel that the "filler" is the space needed to let Jimmy's character simmer and come to the decisions, big and small, internal and external, that Donna elucidated so nicely here.

Man, that was a hell of a well-written review.

Great article. It's difficult to explain that what's most horrifying about rape culture is its mundanity and normalcy.

Oh, you're right! Good catch. So they'll be in his brain while he goes to college and whatnot.

Nah, I think Dean's done with nanobots seeing as he was pissing out the last of them in the post-credits scene.

Yeah, it was totally professional that time he stole a future vehicle and left without authorization to change time and alter the course of his entire life while his compatriots were doing dangerous jobs that might have required backup (and indeed did, IIRC). And it's totally professional how he keeps "multi-tasking"…

I wish his personality would shine a little less.

If Cold is going to keep being so prominent and so consistently great I'm going to have a problem because I seem to be the one member of the audience who finds his in-love-with-the-sound-of-his-own-voice manner of speech incredibly annoying.

Episode gets a grade ceiling of D for Raj. Just awful.
