Arrow: that was MAGNIFICENT. Or perhaps what I mean is, Malcolm Merlyn, you magnificent bastard. I seriously didn't even see that coming. That is PERFECT.
Also: HELL YEAH SPEEDY.
Also also: Felicity in the ATOM suit rescuing Ollie was pretty sweet.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS!!!
some of them deal with lazy writing which I think this whole season suffered from.
I hate trying to write it all up though.
I don't like the not dealing with the marriage or the transfer of the company at all. give it a line, give it a shot of the papers on Ray's desk - or really Ray saying ummmmm something when the company owner is about to leave town for places unknown for time unknown.
I love Barrowman, but Merlyn still being alive and roaming free makes zero goddamn sense.
Did I miss any mention of where Lyla and Sara were? cause that should have been addressed with getting them the hell out of Starling.
Why was Darhk in Starling? would have liked to know that.
I do like the DD set up though, not sure it really came through that he will be the big bad for S4 though, hope that is the case. all media points that way.

I think in the last episode they mentioned that Lyla and Sara got out of Starling.
I was worried that Cop Daddy would die, so I'm glad he didn't. I'm not surprised he's drinking again; I think it's in character, but man, I don't like it. (I don't mean that I don't like the writing; I mean it like, "Quentin, what the FUCK??? Don't DO that!!!")

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
My biggest worry was that Nyssa would die so hurray! She lives!
Agree that how Merlyn is STILL alive makes no sense, but the bastard is slippery as a weasel and has chutzpah for miles, I'll give him that.
I kinda love that, after Joe counseled Barry not to be like Oliver because that was not the type of hero The Flash was, we found that Oliver has been doing exactly that, making deals with the Devil all this time. Hah!
Way shippier ending than I thought. That can't last long, but it's nice they're grabbing some happiness while they can, I guess. Although I can't really see this show let the main character be in a happy, stable relationship for too long. I did like Felicity-saving-Oliver in Ray's ATOM suit moment A LOT. Kinda reminiscent of Pepper saving Tony in IM3.

He's John Barrowman. The show doesn't want to waste him.

Totally.

well since the basically made the Atom a low-rent Iron Man thus far, it fits.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Supergirl promo looks fun. It might be a little too silly for my tastes, but we'll see how it goes in the actual show.
I have a feeling Ray got shrunk, but he will end up presumed dead in the explosion until he figures out how to unshrink himself.
Was totally not expecting Oliver to actually kill Ra's, let alone do so to hand the title over to Malcolm. And League armor can stop sniper bullets, but not arrows? Seems a little odd.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That was a good finale. Teppy already said everything I was coming here to say. so, what she said. I kind of like that Barrowman's character is a cockroach that cannot die. I think if he does die it has to be Speedy and she needs to get stronger first.

The Supergirl trailer looks great, but I'm sad it isn't on the CW because I need a Supergirl/Flash crossover with Jesse L. Martin and Calista Flockhart.

Oh my god, that would be AWESOME.
