Enjoyable finale but it was really, really rough getting there. Hopefully the second season is better and mini-arcs instead of one story that was stretched several episodes longer than it needed to be... Oh and there's less incompetence.
I was half expecting them to fail and the meteors being the reason for fuckery that would result in a new timeline with Earth 1, 2 and 3 merging with each other.
Yeah, should've seen that one coming after those talks of an Hourman show never really went anywhere.

No more Hawk people!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The next big question I have is which earth is this Hourman from?

He says his name is Rex Tyler and that he's with the Justice Society.
Gonna be there for a couple episodes before ANOTHER Waverider shows up with his son, Rick Tyler, warning about the imminent CRISIS!!!

You want even more hawk people, eh?
Not necessarily
But it's just
Like they don't even address it at all in this episode
and it's the crux of the entire point of the series.

I hate to be "that guy", but that was easily my favorite finale of any Arrowverse show. It was very well paced, no one was insufferable, the action was great, and the cliffhanger came completely out of left field and sets up everything we've been waiting for in Arrowverse.
Sara handled the Laurel thing really well, she could've been a mess this entire episode, but she had her moment and moved on from it. Something I wish the writers would do with other characters (especially on Arrow).
I also thought the episode perfected the balance of humor and drama. I feel like these shows struggle with making it either too serious and awkward, or too cheesy and cringeworthy. All the quips (like Jax and Carter, or Mick and the Hawks) were very well delivered and actually funny.
A+. Show has been rocky, but for the most part I've enjoyed it more than Flash/Arrow this season (and Supergirl I suppose). Glad to see it go out with a bang.

I mean, I guess the hand-wave could be that destroying the meteorites caused the Thanagarians to lose all of their recon data on Earth, thus pushing the invasion way back.
Heat Wave and Sara MVPs
Ray + Mick > Ray + Kendra too.
Could be the JSA fighting the Thanagarians next season. We didn't really get time to learn too much about the threat in the future.

I'm going to miss Kendra's ass.
I wonder how they will bring Snart back.

Hey cool, called it.
Also in case you were wondering if they were faking out the Hawks leaving, don't worry. Her exit was not planned from the start like Wentworth's it seems.
Guys, that was a great finale. Nonsensical but superfun time travel shenanigans, Vandal Savage finally being taken down in 3 satisfying ways, and each member of the ensemble getting a fitting send off for the season.
And that JSA stinger... daaaaaamn
Well, according to Time Master Druce, the Thanagarians invade in 2176. So they can keep that on the backburner for quite a while.

Thats in the far future they can deal with that whenever tbh.
Great finale! CW is slaying it with comic shows [well Arrow is still so-so]. Now the long wait for S2 begins.
lol
Yes!
I want entire JSA team on the screen, but IMHO I really hope they at least bring Dr. Fate. His brief appearance in Smallville was awesome, but I want more of him.

Solid finale to a wildly uneven season. Hopefully the writers can gain a better grasp on things next year.
I was thinking the exact same thing lol D:
Thank god.

I remember before the show first came out there was a trailer which showed a fight with legends + flash and arrow in some warehouse against savages soldiers in the future I think. Was that just a trailer or was that something that was meant to happen that got cut? I cant remember if that happened or not! but I don't think it did?!?
It's interesting how you can often see the "exit points" of a TV show in its season finale, where they show how things would end if the series were to finish, and then see how they branch off into setting up a new season.
If LoT ended now, the story would have been:
- Rip nobly sacrifices his life by flying the meteorite into the sun, thereby saving the world and stopping the future possibility of time travel
- Sara, wanting to avenge Laurel's death, goes back to Star City to fight Darhk in the Arrow season finale
- Kendra and future Carter live happily ever after
- Stein and Jax return to their families and jobs and remain on standby for other appearances in the Arrowverse
- Ray experiences an existential crisis and shrinks himself out of reality
- Heat Wave returns to a life of heists, but is empty without his partner
Another stray observation: Hourman specifically orders the team not to step on the ship. This could be a big hint that the show is going to drop time travel and keep its cast in 2016, which I've mentioned before that I'm all for. I'd still love the Wave Rider to go flying around the world though.
That was never going to be an episode. It was test footage to pitch to the networks (although it was pretty much already a lock for the CW at that point).

I'm wondering how they'll modernise some of these old school superheroes. There are a lot of cheesy themed characters from that era. I looked up Hourman and his power is gimmicky as hell lol.

Tbh, going gimmick isn't the worst idea in the world. A big reason the team this season ended up looking so incompetent is because with their powers, it should've been dirt simple to take Vandal. Time travel alone gives them a ridiculous edge, then you throw in what people like Firestorm are (supposed to be) capable of?
Hourman having superstrength and toughness for an hour at a time is a lot easier to write around.

Is Wentworth Miller gonna be in the next season or is he busy with new Prison Break?
That was a fantastic finale, especially because of the three-way beatdown they delivered on Vandal Savage. Rip also turned out smarter than anticipated, with his plan to jump back instead of killing himself.
Justice Society is also finally here! Thank God.

He is going to be in the Arrowverse, with options to appear full time and in any of the shows.
True, completely forgot that they promised that. I assume that crossover turned into the Supergirl crossover timing-wise.

Finale delivered in a lot of ways, static's reaction to Hawk exit was on fucking point. Favorite arc of this season was Mick's, I got misty eyed with his meeting Snart at the end there. JSA is super fucking hype.
Oh, if only he would tie a similarly neat bow on Felicity's story.

They needed to start the entire final run an episode earlier. Have Snart die in episode 14, have them return to their time in 15 and execute the plan in 16.

Is there a chance that we could ever see Static in the Arrowverse? Does DC still own the rights to him?
It depends if you want to see Jaden Smith in the Arrowverse or not. They're supposed to be making a Static show with him.
You're not joking are you?
Young Chris Rock - Tyler James Williams - said it a year ago.
Well, I guess it was just a matter of time before the entire Smith family joined the DC family.
