Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I'm looking forward to getting caught up with the 100. I was Netflix surfing this past Sunday and thought I'd give it a shot; eight episodes later I came up for air. Much better than I thought it would be, since I found nearly all the prinicipal characters reprehensible in one way or the other, but by the 3rd or 4th episode all the moral ambiguity started sucking me into a "what would I have done in that situation" mindset, which made it a lot more interesting. Really wanted to hate Kane until he turned into such a sad sack, but found myself disliking Clarke's mother more in many ways, while still being sympathetic to her determination that Clarke survive at all costs. Reminds me a lot of my initial reaction to Mad Men. Love to hate them.

Flash: so, was this ENTIRE season a long set-up just to get John Wesley Shipp back into a Flash costume? If so, I approve.

Other than that, I agree it was pretty weaksauce, especially compared to last year's finale.

And also, Flashpoint was HORRIBLE in the comics, so I don't see how it could be redeemable in the show. I'm giving the showrunners the side-eye REAL HARD right now.

I hope Arrow's finale is better.

Well, in the comics, Flashpoint was the event that caused Barry's Mom to be retconactively killed off in the past, so this is more like the anti-Flashpoint.

Well, right, but I was thinking about the whole Barry's-mom-is-alive-in-Flashpoint-and-everything-is-fucked-but-we're-DC-and-that's-how-we-roll-bitches aspect of it.

So Flashpoint isn't worth reading before next season? People have been mentioning it all over the place since the finale.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Teppy is me. Any bets that Mrs. Garrick is the Earth-3 Tina McGee?

Liked the nod to Crisis; liked using the time wraiths to take out Zoom. Not so much on resurrecting Mrs. Allen because I hate reboots. Especially here, because it also reboots Arrow (and LOT). Is Laurel alive? Is Eddie Thawn? Is Cold? Is the Piper a villain again? Are there still donuts? It's all higgledy-piggledy.

She'd BETTER be.

What's a donut?

Man, I'm going to miss Damien Darhk. (Not a spoiler; I'm just assuming. It is the season finale, after all.)

As a big fan of comics Green Arrow, I have been waiting for this: [link] and I wasn't disappointed. I'm pretty happy with it.

Plus we get Russia flashbacks next season!
