I would recommend checking out the various cast members Instagrams because there was a lot of clowning around with the funeral set.

Then the Green Lantern Corps come and take his ring away because he clearly doesn't have enough willpower to keep from constantly vomiting.

That was from one of the flashbacks in season 3 or 4 when Waller dropped Oliver off in Starling city but he wasn’t allowed to make
contact with anyone.

You can tell which ones were actually from Season 1 and which ones were shot for the finale by how young Amell looks in the old clips. By his own admission, 8 years of doing this show just beat the poo poo out of him.

Also the scene where Oliver overpowers Slade and saves his mom was shot for season 2 as a dream sequence but wasn't aired. I believe in the original he loving shoots him in the head, but they cut just before that, I guess to preserve continuity of subsequent Slade appearances.

That was pretty solid. I really liked the emotional acting everyone was doing. Especially Laural and Quinton talking, his Laural doesn't need to come back because she's already there.

Also Tommy says that Earth-1 Laurel DID come back and she was his wife before she died. So maybe she died of natural causes and got to live a happy life with Tommy before that. I guess we’ll never know, nor do we really need to know at this point.

Also Legends and Black Lightning’s writers could handle a character like Diaz. The new Flash showrunner seems like they could too now. Supergirl would just clock him into next week as stated.

the final shot of CoIE should have been the Monitor zapping to the astral plane where Diaz is waiting, and the Monitor says "It's over, just as you planned."

Diaz responds "And Oliver? Did I train him well enough to succeed? Was he prepared?"

and Monitor says "Yes, you gave him the boost he needed to save the multiverse, you are the true hero."

Really enjoyed that. Will be sad to see Arrow gone. It really did change things in huge ways whatever flaws it had. It always trips me out to remember the state of things when Smallville ended and that i decided to skip the new superhero show the CW was doing. At least until someone wised me up in S2. Hopefully we get the Birds of Prey thing to carry on.

And holy crap they gave John a ring!!!!

I liked that they dealt with the Laurel thing and how Quentin handled it perfectly. I’m still personally going with the idea that Earth Prime’s formation was largely a subjective thing from Ollie and the Paragons so it’s less deliberate choices being made of who to save or what happened and more just how things would feel right. OG Laurel died tragically but Earth 2 Laurel has come a long way and deserves more than being erased or “merged” or something that makes her not her.

Or you know, Oliver is a wizard now and explains nothing.

As someone who came into the Arrowverse when I heard the Flash was going to share the same universe as the Arrow when it first came out, I'm really glad I stuck with all the shows. Even the bad seasons. This was a great finale that really showed how far they came and how influential a "bargain bin Batman" could truly be.

Barrowman's doing a bunch of other stuff. Idk if he still is a regular guest host on DC Universe's talk show. He's not planning on showing up in another episode of Who this season as he's stated in an interview. Just give him the Robotman or Gideon treatment and it'll be great.

Apparently they did try to get the actress who played Huntress back for the finale but the timing didn't work.

An uncharitable way is to look at Felicity's ending as her committing suicide to be with her husband. Instead, I like to think of it as getting into some sort of paradise dimension where they can be happy for once and have Amell come back as Specter as needed.

All the CW shows have traditionally been pretty quick to hit Netflix as soon as their seasons are done. And no, no news yet.

Just from the last Netflix contract. From that point it was a week after the season ends, previously it was shortly before the next season starts.

Yeah, they all go up a week after the finale. Its kind of made keeping up with the CW shows week to week seem pointless when I know I can binge them a week after the finish. I kind of only follow the Arrowverse for the crossovers/continuity.

I really wasn’t happy with Oliver bringing back all of the major characters that died(Tommy, Moria, his sister, etc) — felt like the writers wanted to undo all of the their own story. Felt cheap

Hmm... I'm not so invested in Arrow's plot as a whole to really care whether they came back one way or another, but yeah, it also adds a bunch of nitpicky questions about how all of the previous seasons' storylines just happened to work out exactly the same way even though the dead characters were alive the whole time.

EDIT: I guess now that they're alive, the characters can pop up in the spin-off show with age makeup?
