We Minored In Film's positive review of 421... ARROW’S “MONUMENT POINT” (S4:E21): THOUSANDS ARE DEAD Posted on May 12, 2016 by Kelly Konda https://weminoredinfilm.com/2016/05/12/arrows-monument-point-s4e21-thousands-are-dead/

When I first heard Lyla say that "IT girl" line, I thought maybe it was a meta reference to WBTV President Peter Roth's comment upon first seeing EBR as Felicity in 1x03.

Final adjusted ratings are 0.8 and 2.16... http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/05/final-adjusted-tv-ratings-for-wednesday_12.html

Putting aside the ridiculousness of how losing the CEO position means losing the company in the Arrowverse... Now that Felicity no longer has access to Palmer Tech's money and resources, what is Team Arrow going to do for finances? I'm assuming that Felicity's been paid a CEO salary for the past year, so that should be a nice nest egg. Maybe Mr. Dennis is actually a Darhk/Ruve minion and dies in the season finale? In which case, Felicity could get her job and the company back. Alternatively, Noah probably has millions of dollars stocked away in offshore or hidden accounts. Before he skips town (he is still a fugitive from the law), maybe he could leave behind a trust fund for Felicity.

Better up than down. ;) Remember, after Sara was killed at the end of 3x01, the ratings dropped for the next episode (from 1.0 in 3x01 to 0.8 in 3x02) (there was no funeral episode), but then slowly crept back up. (source)

JoBlo's mostly negative review of 421 (gave it 6 out of 10 arrows) - I totally disagree... TV REVIEW: ARROW - SEASON 2 EPISODE 21 "MONUMENT POINT" 10 hours ago by: Alex Maidy http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/tv-review-arrow---season-2-episode-21-monument-point-248 ETA: The Flash is only in its second season - and it spent most of its first season telling the same story every week (Barry confronts VOTW and gets beaten, Barry gets pep talk or runs faster, Barry beats VOTW). Arrow's second season was also very different from its first season, and it is now winding up its fourth season. Let's see how The Flash does in its fourth season.
