Best thing about the Eternals, was a highlight in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and is a scene stealer in everything. This is fantastic.

And she was one of the people that Monk wrote a note to. Wasn't expecting it to get that dark, but to the shock of nobody Shalhoub nailed it. And I totally didn't cry at the end, nope, you can't prove it. Monk realized he had 140 victims and their families who love him, because he spoke for them and got justice when nobody else could. Monk has his Watson now.

Okay, first off fantastic job with Ingrid this season. They humanized her by showing why she would be so attached to Nathan. Her friends were terrible, and her dad wished she died, but there was Nathan. Nathan was the one that actually cared about her. Nathan didn't see her as a status symbol, or money, or didn't run her down with stuff like her friend did. And her friendship with AI guy starting last season was excellent, he even got invited to the wedding. But holy shit, next season is gonna be a civil war. It's gonna be Horizen/Betta vs uploads, AI guy, the Ludds, 2 Gigs (you know Yang's gonna back Luke and Nathan), and angels (Tinsley did not look happy getting pushed aside). And that whole sequence showed the evolution of AI guy, he didn't hesitate to protect Nathan. He overrode his programming to do that. We better get a season 4.

Did Ivan just kill Choak? My goodness, I was crying at Ingrid running away from the guy in Lakeview and real life, and getting yanked to the floor because she was still plugged in. That was fantastic physical comedy, and her just lying there frozen. And then there was her beating the hell out of the guy with a stool. I want to know how many takes they had to do, no way would I have been able to keep a straight face watching both of those. Good to see one of Nathan's exes from his funeral returning, and still being a nice character.

Getting more and more obvious that Tinlsey's hug last season kicked off the AI evolving. He was listening to Luke about rest, even calling him Pastor Luke. The AI also just wanted a meal with people to celebrate the holiday, and asked Luke more questions. The jokes that Lakeview Nathan was better looking that Downloaded Nathan were funny. A lot of credit goes to Robbie Amell for his reactions to them. And on the shallow, I thought real world Ingrid looked better than Lakeview Ingrid.

I think you can thank two things for that, one is that it was obviously an accident. It was an argument that got way too heated, he wasn't a murderer, when Mabel confronted him he didn't threaten Mabel or anybody else. The other thing is a fantastic performance by Wesley Taylor, where he sold it completely that it was an accident and that Cliff was no murderer, and that he was racked with guilt for it.

The moment they said the lipstick matched it was blatantly obvious that Cliff was the killer. That didn't make it any worse, thanks in large part to the performances of everybody involved. Sazz dying means more Jane Lynch next season in flashbacks. So that's one good thing. But somebody wants Charles or Sazz or maybe all of the trio dead.

"You're the 5 whores?" LMAO. Martin Short's delivery was perfect, to the shock of maybe one person. Ben's sewing circle friends better be back for the season finale. Here's hoping they find a way to get Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep back for next season. They've both been perfect. I know that Ben is dead, but you can have Rudd play a new character. Of course Mabel's ideal birthday is hanging out with Charles and Oliver. They're her besties, they've got to be there for each other's big moments. Sorry Chevy Chase you've been replaced by somebody who doesn't make it a monthly habit of burning bridges. Selena is the true new 3rd Amigo.

Meryl's got the Supporting Actress Emmy locked up. This episode continued to prove that.

Charles saying to Broderick, "You're still here? It's over. Go home."

Can Theo be bumped up to a regular next season? Matthew Broderick was clearly having a blast. Mel Brooks was great as well. Meryl, Rudd, Mel, and Broderick this season. Everybody wants to be on this show. The "You're fired" scene after that stupid article a few days ago saying that Martin Short was never funny, just perfect timing. Sticking with Dicke as the killer. Ben stole CoBro from him, Dickie always cleaned up the messes, and Ben was an ass to Loretta (who's no doubt Dickie's mom).

"I literally had to talk Idina Menzel off a ledge." We got Meryl and Paul Rudd this season, please tell me this is a hint that Idina Menzel will be in next season. Probably just a name drop, but hey, you never know. Good on Mabel for not turning against the guys. Yeah, the trio is going through a rough patch right now, but they're best friends, and Charles and Oliver are kind of like dads to Mabel. And Charles and Oliver will find a way to make sure that Mabel keeps the apartment. I want to see the outtakes of Steve Martin attempting the "rap". When he first walked out it looked like Selena was desperately trying to stop herself from breaking. Also the outtakes from Steve in the White Room, dude was having a blast. And I'm calling Dickie as the killer.

Every live action Clark/Spuerman vs Doomsday fight we've gotten has sucked, till now. That was freaking awesome.

Breaking and fixing time like only they can do.

The ending with Barry sharing his powers was fantastic. Season 5's finale would have been the perfect series finale if not for the Crisis tease. Season 7's finale would have made an excellent series finale with the entire group (including Nora and Bart) together for Barry and Iris renewing their vows. They gave us 2 episodes that would have made excellent series finales, so I figured that they would stick the landing for the actual series finale. Yeah, that didn't happen. No Wally, Cisco, Bart, or Kara (although Melissa was probably too busy with her HBO Max show) was a big disappointment. Would not put this finale on the level of the finales for Agents of SHIELD, Stargirl, Supergirl, and Friday Night Lights, just off the top of my head.
