Oh my god I forgot this happened. Like I remember the event, just not the reason why it happened. Wow arrow is so dumb.

Yeah. That said, that finale was still ballsier than anything ever done in superhero tv shows. As a whole Arrow as a show used to have balls of steel. Even in S3, while it had a lot of problems, did shit other showrunners would run way in terror from. S4 seems way to safe. While they kept up the consistency before the break it was ok, but now we have neither consistency nor bravery.

They should end all current seasons on a 'oh fuck' note. In order of end date:
- Supergirl: Skies turn red
- Legends of Tomorrow: Someone from the future comes in to warn them about a huge disaster coming.
- Arrow: Huge earthquakes or something at the end of the episodes.
- The Flash: Earth-2 and Earth-3 appear in the background of the sky and they seem to be colliding.
Season ends.

Arrow: An alternate Black Canary arrives in Star City.

 

[Joni]

Arrow: An alternate Black Canary arrives in Star City.

That is for next season. Flash opens with a meeting of the heroes: Flash, Green Arrow, Vixen, Supergirl, Atom, Firestorm, Constantine, Earth-2 Green Arrow, White Canary, J'onn Jonz, ... Everyone they can still find on the three Earths. Superman will be missing, because he doesn't like them. Oliver reminds him too much of someone else that keeps attacking him.

 

[Septimus Prime]

- Arrow: Huge earthquakes or something at the end of the episodes.

Arrow: An alternate Black Canary arrives in Star City.

These would both be penultimate scenes. The real ending would be Felicity blaming Oliver for it and breaking up with him again.

Them kissing, they can break up once Barry saves the Earth.

And then revealing next season that Felicity is the only one who can stop the Crisis and is the single most important person in the Multiverse.

I'm half expecting to find out that Cat Grant is a time - displaced Felicity Smoak.

Aside from some minor edgy quibbles (whenever someone's gotta stick it to God in one of these shows like "if there was a god, she wouldn't let this happen" is instant eye roll material for me) I kinda dug it. I don't know, some cool action scenes and good set up, but the dialogue and story beats are just so depthless. The actresses and actors are doing the best they can with subpar scripts in my opinion, but I mean if it works for them it works.

I would love if all the DC shows had a connected cliffhanger, but it will not happen.

They need something big to make more crossovers possible. But indeed it is only an unlikely wish.

I cannot get over the fact of how fucking pretty she is. Goddamn. If I ever start watching this show it's just going to be because she's so pretty.

Even the people they cast to be "ugly" or non attractive are still smoking hot.

haha, yeah those are all good looking people but what is that saying? beauty is in the eye of the beholder? it's not like any other entertainment hub wouldn't wanna get attractive people on their mediums too.

 

[Jon Carter]

Yeah that's something I never understood. Virtually nobody casts "ugly" people, CW or not.

Also, Melissa Benoist looks like Blake Lively when she smiles.

 

[Joni]

Other networks tend to mix it up a bit more, go for older and less traditionally attractive people. Think Coulson in SHIELD, Jethro in NCIS, ...

Coulson/Clark Gregg is a good looking guy tho.

the rule of all network TV and film is generally everyone is attractive or "Hollywood ugly" meaning at worst they're average.


The CW has mostly moved away from their creepy model catalogue casting throughout the Ostroff era as evident with Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Jane, and Flash and iZombie and even some of Reign.

Still very attractive people, but not in a way that's noticeably plastic or aesthetically all similar.

[dead souls]

Goddamn those Vampire Diaries/Originals photos.

Even with all the death and mayhem I still want to live in Mystic Falls.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Let's all take a moment to remember the Beast from the "modern" telling of Beauty and the Beast went from this in the 80s on CBS.

Compared to the "Beast" in the CW version today.

Older? Sure.

But Mark Harmon is not who I'd point to as an example of "not traditionally attractive."

Put him next to a Tom C or Jesse Martin though.

True, he is probably like a toyboy for their audience.

esp younger Mark Harmon. mmmm

It started later than normal and the ratings were probably not high enough to merit confidence in a full back nine, but maybe stabilized enough to still merit a S2.

 

[Joni]

CBS is just weird like that. They called it a full season order.

 

[BlackGhost]

Didn't realize it was the finale lol. Feel like they really haven't advertise this as the finale haha

 

[SchrodingerC]

Finale already? Hopefully they use the best fighting choreography for this episode.

Let's end on a high note, CBS!
