hogwash

Bye forever, hawk losers!!!

Donna and Noah snipping at each other was so funny. What the heck did Noah do? It can't just be the criminal hacking stuff. I'm so confused and curious. It's all I can think about. Is it a comic book thing? Really solid episode. Outdoor fight scenes!

Ok, that was a great line. Go Darhk.

Kill Malcolm! You're my only hope, Darhk!

Yay, anarchy's still alive!! Was that a Tommy parallel with Ruve Darhk???

Whatever happens with Supergirl can't be as bad as LOT setup. Everyone's already suited up and heroing around. They just need to get introduced and see each other in action. I totally agree with those reviews. What the crap does a character like Barry Allen get out of watching his parent get murdered in front of him. Oliver was way more screwed up and he went totally bonkers after Moira's murder. What's the endgame here? More brooding?

That kiss was gross for me. Everything I've about learn both Peggy and Steve since CAP1 tells me they would've been amazing together. That's why the end of CAP1 is so sad and bittersweet. Plus, he wakes up 50+ years later and of all the women in the world, HER NIECE?! Comics are weird. Iris hasn't done well as the crush object or the BFF but I'm gonna be stupid and hope she'll fare better as the girlfriend. I liked her anti-pep talk the most from this episode. Plus there's no way she'll become Barry's girlfriend and still be kept out of the A plot, right? I'm jinxing it...

I'm glad that Barry isn't OTT "Why can't you seeeeee, you belong with meeee" anymore but to have both of them basically go "OK...I guess" is dumb. So much meh.

Eh, I don't think Flash is doing romantic relationships so much better than other Flarrowverse shows. I honestly think Sara/Len and Oliver/Felicity were better friends/partners than Barry/Iris were before they got romantic. Both were awol during each other's huge life-altering storylines (dead mom showing up and butt kicking by Zoom) in the first half. But I do like that they toned down Barry's obsessive crush from S01 but another big issue I had was Iris barely seemed interested in pursuing the relationship. I dont think they ever fixed that.

So is Barry gonna "die" in the midseason and come back to his team working well (but not really) without him? That could really work if they're doing Crisis. SUCK IT, SNYDER!

What a weird setting to ask someone out. Anyway, if the pattern holds S03 will be the season of insta-heroes. Maybe superpowers will make it suck less?

What's up with these shows and destroying the world? I thought the dead birds were a mean (but kinda hilarious) reference to Laurel at first. I guess the escalating global threat(s) explains why everyone and their mother seemed to be getting an insta-hero speech/flag.

Um, Canary Cry?

Did zoom say that? I was barely paying attention. I can't believe there's only one episode left. This season has been wonky.

What the stupid? Barry has already watched his parent die. Maybe Zoom meant two dead parents would really seal the "you're just like me" deal?

I am the complete opposite. I hated pretty much everything about Oliver/Felicity in S03 while the first half of S04 reminded me of the potential I saw in season 2. Going 25 to 100 with Oliver's feelings was dumb. There's a reason that the mansion I love you in the S02 finale was a shock to even people like me who were gunning for them to get together.

I liked Sara and Oliver's chemistry. It must've been hard to flip from friends to 213 but they did a good job with it. That kiss was amazing. No complaints (about their chemistry, anyway) but I did laugh at them talking in bed together a couple of episodes later because it looked like SA was planking on top of her. This is making me wonder what contrived Lauriver holdover would've been slapped on if Sara/Oliver were the shows's main pairing. I guess we would been stuck in an endless loop of "I can't be with you; it's my enemies/PTSD/guilt/etc."

It actually reminded me of the particle accelerator explosion from S02. Team Arrow is so out of their depths though. My first thought after Felicity's hacking magic didn't stop it was this is the perfect setup for a superhero group who can deal with these global threats... Then I remembered all the LOT setup and no thanks to that crap again.

It's funny that the big death and the big breakup got built up for several episodes and both sucked.

Darn S03 for doing nothing with all that beautiful S02 buildup!

I keep telling myself what's the worse that could happen since they're married with a kid... Keep your grubby hands off every Diggle not named Andy, Arrow!

Smoak Tech with Curtis is the first thing I thought when she got fired. Non-compete clauses are for suckers (and shows that care about financial law)! I really liked this episode. I hope Merlyn's comment about not giving Thea a weapon is foreshadowing...

Are they gonna move to Earth 1? How would crossovers even work if they don't? Maybe keep a portal open?

Barry disintegrated into the Speedforce and Jesse/Wally might have gotten powers. Who's bright idea was it to spend more than half the next episode on the zombie version of one-off villain no one freaking cared about in S01??? What the heck!

So...when are they calling the Justice League or it's DCTV equivalent? How can they possibly handle this?
