Damien Dahrk though...
To be fair, the only one of them that is actually alive is Merlyn. Cold, Eobard and Dhark died.
And even he was supposed to have died back then. But they're lazy and don't clean up.
I still like this season plenty, and liked last year too. I'm never in sync with whatever this thread is feeling. :lol
I dropped Arrow because last season was so terrible, and dropped Supergirl and Legends, which weren't really bad (though many parts of Legends were bad) but they just felt tedious to get through, and I felt like I was forcing myself to watch them. Figures that as soon as I drop all three, all three rebound with apparently better seasons. Oh well.

I was on the verge of dropping arrow after last seasons garbage and I was already skipping flashbacks that season too. But it has been considerably better this year. Reminds me of season 1 days.
Haven't seen supergirl or legends this year tho (aside from the episodes with Clark)

Wouldn't hold my breath for that if I were you. Either of those things actually.
I wouldn't be surprised if Arrow outlives the Snyderverse

With the exception of the Kendra and Reverse Flash vibes, all of Cisco's vibes involved something extradimensional (and in the case of Thawne, something from outside the timeline), right?
So could the Killer Frost vs Vibe flash actually be Cisco vibing the future of the Pre-Flashpoint timeline?
I could even see Amell's Oliver outlasting Arrow. Like, if Flash and Arrow lose ratings due to regular year-over-year decline, they could re-energize by cancelling them and launching a team show with Amell and Gustin as one possible scenario.

You know I like that idea! Call it World's Finest.
That show would have no budget for anything, Amell and Gustin are expensive.

Prediction:
The Vibes are going to keep coming and we're going to find out that Killer Frost / Caitlin would kill Dante in Pre-Flashpoint Earth-1 and then Cisco would kill Caitlin.

Isn't Aquaman set to start filming relatively soon? I don't know that Arrow will manage to keep going to 2018, or even 2019 if they actually get around to that second Superman solo.

I hope the Caitlyn stuff is done. I think the whole "I'm turning evil because of my powers" thing is stupid.
Fully on board with this sentiment. There should be an element of suspense and...humanism...in becoming a meta and making the choice about whether to use those powers for good or evil. Malfoy talked about it ever so briefly but we're three seasons in.
This is the CW we are talking about. Unless Arrow's ratings start tanking, they'll continue to have new seasons past 2019.

Any reason to give more screen time to Caitlyn is a-okay
Yeah... It's one thing to say her fear of her powers and of Killer Frost drive to her act irrationally, it's another thing entirely if the powers themselves are making her evil.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Amell is contracted through 2019, so expect that at a minimum, baring something absolutely catastrophic happening.
It'll really depend on how in demand he is for movie roles at that point, I think.

If they explained why her powers made her evil it wouldn't be so bad. Just having it that way is silly.

Just conjecture based off his social media, but Amell seems pretty happy with his position right now. Not in the usual "love the show, love the fans blah blah blah" kinda way either. I think he's just happy to have a steady well paying gig that lets him stay close to his family. He doesn't come off like the type of actor who is starting to get tired of a role. You can almost always tell when they're getting burnt out.

I'd argue the opposite, actually.
Practically everyone with the metagene is a bad guy. In this universe there's the Flash, Firestorm, and Vibe as the only good guys. On Earth-2, before Jessie Quick came along, we can't even confirm if they even actually had a superhero. Earth-3 only has the real Jay Garrick that we know of.
Amell is the master of the con circuit and has a cut of HVFF and his actor appearance company. Along with his wine business, TV and web series projects and charity work. By his own admission he isn't the best actor, but he's a hell of a businessman and social media guy. He's going to come out of Arrow with tens of millions easily. He's leveraging a sweet gig, he won't have to rely on movie money or guest star work after the show ends.

He is smart enough to know how his bread is buttered. Much like Jensen and Jared from Supernatural. They know they have a good gig, so why not ride it out?
Yeah they have fun at work and their side gigs earn them even more money. Why not do 10-15 years of hard work and then go straight into semi-retirement with millions? Melissa and Grant might be able to have careers beyond The CW with their acting talent, but let's be honest, a lot of these kinds of shows are you're pretty for a decade and then you come back a few years later playing the parent to a new generation of pretty people.
Luke Perry stars in Riverdale! JWS also sort of counts, not because he's so pretty but he did go from superhero to parent to parent of a superhero back to superhero.

Exactly, dude is playing the smart game. Too many genre show actors burn out and end up having to hustle for guest star gigs on other genre shows. It's good to see him setting himself up right. Most of the DC series people seem to be doing that, nearly all of them do the convention circuit. That's sweet money for meet & greets and photos.

We just had this whole thing with Magenta and fighting off the evil personality. It's just weird coming off that with the whole "powers making me evul" except they're taking it straight with Caitlyn. Not even a raised eyebrow.

Flash really needs its version of the Alien Bar from Supergirl. That set piece actually gave a way to show aliens who aren't part of the heroes and villains game. Do something like that for civilian Metas.

You know, that's not a terrible idea. Instead of just showing metahumans as evil 99% of the time.
They could have like a low rent Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters at Star Labs. But just helping people control their abilities and live normal lives. I think it would develop the idea of metahumans existing in this world a bit more beyond punch punch kick kick. They wouldn't even have to build a huge new set.
And he is friends with Jared, so he has someone telling him how hard it is to break into the movie business. I mean the dude was a teenage hearttrob in two major shows and couldn't pull it off.

Thawne, Dahrk, and Snart are all dead, though. Merlyn is the only living Legion of Doom member.
Technically, it is Thawne getting away after Flashpoint that allows him to pick up the others from before they were dead.

Life goes on, but I feel like every team brings their A+ effort for the crossovers so far
