That's not how Flashpoint works. poo poo just changed and nobody remembers any different.

Disappointed by the Evelyn reveal. I hope they do something interesting with it other than "Oh she's evil and working with Prometheus".

The problem with Evelyn being the mole is, didn't Ollie recruit her? What were they going to do if he hadn't?

Unless Prometheus approached her afterwards.

After the Alchemy* reveal on Flash, I think we can all be sure that Prometheus is Felicity's boyfriend.

That episode was really good but I'll be mad as heck if they have Laurel come back from the dead as the mid-season cliffhanger and it turns out to be a hallucination. If they're going to do that it should just be an act break.

Kinda wish they'd used someone who we did see in Season 1, but Shkreli was a good target to base a character on. The Prometheus plot has been seriously good so far.

I like the Arrow episode of the crossover. I did not care for the others at all really. It showed the constraints of trying to do too much while not having enough resources. The Arrow episode worked to that show's strength where the others tried punching way above their weight and came out looking worse for it.
The Arrow episode was easily the best one, but kind of because it had the least to do with the crossover really. It was just a really nice 100th episode looking back on the series so far.

I enjoyed the crossover but it was kind of bad. What I enjoyed about it was seeing all the characters interact, the problem is that with the ensembles across 3 shows they had too many characters, even with basically dropping the non-important characters from other shows.

Thanks, I'm probably going to do Arrow S2, stop Flash on a high point, Supergirl s2 (s1 was fun and I'm curious about the CW transition), and Legends s2.
As others have said, watch what you want but if you're enjoying them maybe consider continuing with them. It's still good tv, it's just a bit frustrating sometimes, and it cannot be stressed enough how boring the Hawkpeople and Vandal Savage are in Legends S1. However there's still really great stuff in there involving Snart and Rory, and some of the other characters. It's only 13 or 16 episodes or something anyway, it didn't have a full season order.

I miss Roy just because it felt like he was barely Arsenal at all with all the Mirakuru/I killed a cop drama.

I'm rewatching the show right now though and am on Season 2 so it could just be my memory playing tricks on me. He leaves before the end of Season 3 though, right?

Phenotype posted:

I remember posting something like this when the episode aired, and being a little pissed I was taking Felicity's side, but here it is: She didn't break up with him because he didn't tell her about his son, she broke up with him because he didn't even THINK about discussing it with her when he decided he needed to keep his son far away.
He was given an ultimatum though, keep it a secret or never see his son again. It's an impossible situation, and it's annoying that the show seems to refuse to acknowledge that aspect of it. Felicity certainly has plenty of reason to feel that Oliver keeps things from her, and that he doesn't trust her, but the situation with William is a really bad example of it.

Overall I thought this was a great episode though. Getting to see a bit more of Dinah was nice, she's really had very little to do until now. The Curtis/Rene team-up is always great too. It's such a cliche but the actors really pull it off quite well.

Based on Season 4 it was an appropriate thread title. There's no point in changing it just because the season has genuinely been good.

This has been a great season. I think you could debate whether this season or season 2 is the better one, and both sides would have merit.
I just finished rewatching Season 2, I think it was better but this has still been great (and to be fair, we haven't seen the finale yet so it could get even better).

Holy poo poo that was a great finale. Slade pretending to be a turncoat multiple times was a bit silly (seemed more realising the first time since they'd been jumped). Malcolm's "death" was great, but yeah it's easily undone if they do want to bring Barrowman back. The set up at the end was brilliant with Ollie having to CHOOSE.

I reckon Slade will have died, but everyone else will have survived. Given that Rene, Curtis and Dinah are regulars next season, they said they won't kill Thea, doubt they will kill Felicity or Lance. Isn't Black Siren supposed to be in next season too? It'll be interesting if William sticks around. Maybe his mother will be killed? I think that would be a bit harsh.

Oh I loved the whole scene with Moira. She was a great character and I always love seeing her back.

And then they went and brought Deadshot back two more times anyway. Once as an alternate universe Floyd Lawton and then again this last season as a hallucination/ghost.
I reckon that they can get away with it if it's just "Floyd Lawton" and not Deadshot, or anything particularly recognisable about him.

When Arrow started, I wasn't really that into it and stopped watching it. I picked it back up for 2 reasons, 1) The Flash was spinning out of it, and 2) I'd seen friends share posts by Amell on Facebook etc and he seemed like a genuinely awesome person.

Rip is ok, and is occasionally great. The Hawks were the worst and most boring characters.

Also I thought Ray was a bit dull in S1, I didn't feel the love triangle they had going with him, Kendra and Hawkman worked very well. The writing of him improved immeasurably in S2 though, I like his friendships with Sara and Nate a lot.

He was dull in Season 1 because he had little development beyond "Savage killed my family" until the end of the season. When he returned in Season 2 they were able to actually do a bit more with him.

Also Arthur Darvill isn't a bad actor at all.
