I didn't exactly mind HR until we got to see Harry again and then I realized they really should have just stopped while they were ahead.

Arrow's not perfect—the early seasons in particular tended to use a woman getting kidnapped as a cheap way to raise stakes (though they did it this season with Susan), and the women near Oliver often get put through the ringer so he can feel bad (once again, Susan, though this trope might just be a natural consequence…

I hope that because he's older he might actually display some critical thinking skills. Oliver being (arguably) the smartest DCTV protagonist is kinda terrifying.

If he makes it to next season they really need to get him a better mask.

The lead dust was super clever but simultaneously a little worrying. I can't imagine inhaling lead dust is exactly healthy for the regular humans in the room either.

I was grateful that this show didn't try to mine the marriage for as much melodrama as Arrow did. Both Lena and Mon-El seemed pretty aware of how ridiculous it was (though the fact that Rhea can now genetically engineer a child from their DNA is…concerning).

I'm trying to think of anything from the last 7 episodes that I'd qualify as "must-see" for a fan of the series and…I guess maybe the musical episode? And the montage from the end of this one was kind of nice in a saccharine way.

I kept thinking Hook was going to mention Mulan during the beanstalk part—considering she was a pretty big part of that "adventure"—but nope!

In Greek Orthodox weddings—which are pretty similar—they swap the crowns back and forth as well.

Something that I think Buffy handled better was having strong one-off villains to prop up the season. It helped avoid the problem that this show—and especially The Flash—has where the Big Bad starts to seem invincible and episodes feel like filler because nothing can really happen until the finale. Like, the…

I did like that this time around, Bellamy was the one advocating for working with the grounders whereas Clarke wanted to only save Skaikru. Sure, Bellamy really just wanted his sister back and Clarke was really just paranoid about Luna winning, but it was a nice reversal.

Oh man, he really is the Iris of this show.

These were pretty much exactly my thoughts. OMWF's strength was that all the songs were the culmination of where the characters had been headed all season—Buffy's depression, Giles leaving, everyone's relationship problems, etc. These songs were fun—and I'm honestly impressed how many there were, especially after The…

Or really terrible wigs.

That would also help explain why he took it so hard that he had to lie to Phillip about Mischa. If Gabriel had a child that he never got to see grow up, Mischa could bring up some bad memories.

Hey, when your franchise catchphrase is "This looks like a job for ____!", you've got to learn to deal with people pawning their problems off on you. Goes with the territory.

By that logic: why not send Iris to crash at Supergirl's place until they can figure out a way to stop Savitar?

"I'm actually not supposed to do that anymore."

This isn't the first adaptation to run into that problem. I don't know why they insist on giving J'onn his full set of powers when he's working on a team, because he's basically a living Swiss Army knife. He can fly, punch, shapeshift, read minds, mess with minds, and phase through objects. He's the easy solution to…

I really enjoyed this episode but they need to decide on some ground rules for J'onn's telepathy. As it stands there's no reason for them to interrogate literally anybody, because J'onn can just read their mind…until he can't because reasons. Either they need to specify practical reasons why his telepathy might fail…
