I was okay with this finale. I mean, there have been some finales that did not deliver at all. But I can live with Oliver going all Barry Allen on time and space for that ending with Felicity. AND it looked inspired by a scene from COIE #12, where Alexander Luthor (son of the heroic Lex Luthor of Earth-3 (long story)) took the Superman and Lois Lane of Earth-2 to a paradise of sorts. The Superboy of Earth-Prime went as well, his existance negated by the Crisis.
(Note: It REALLY helps if you don't read Infinite Crisis)
Seriously, it did felt weird that Oliver negated a lot of plot points. I mean, when Barry Allen fucks with time, there are always consequences . . . and I don't think even Spectre power can make that great of a difference. He brought Tommy back . . . but what if that also means Malcolm got to live without OllieSpec knowing about it? Ditto with Quentin Lance . . . though I'm happy that he got to come back, even if he still obsesses over another version of one of his daughters while the other one is still alive. C'mon, Sara has to come back from time to time and pick up mail or sometime. One nice bit: Rene didn't say "Hoss" once tonight. He hasn't done that since Quentin originally died.
William got double-kidnapped, twenty years apart. Not nearly as big a feat as Vandal Savage getting triple-killed by the Legends, but it's still up there. Poor William . . . seeing his baby stepsister all grown up, realizing that he will never be as awesome as her. Oh, well.
John Diggle: Green Lantern? I dunno. I figure Kyle Rayner would have been an easier GL to show on the CW, but John as a possible fill-in for John (with an "h") Stewart could work. Or maybe that wasn't a ring in the box. Could have been Kryptonite for all we know.
Hey, canon can be changed. We don't necessarily need a dead alien or the oath right off the bat.
Anyone else feel the parallels between Oliver's funeral and the end of Avengers: Endgame? Lots of faces, some we've forgotten. Hey, Talia and Nyssa are back! And they're not trying to kill each other. And Nyssa still considers Sara to be her beloved. I hope she knows about Ava. Otherwise, shit would get awkward.
Well, it's over. As much as the series could bug me, I was good with it. And it was fun posting on the TWoP and Previously forums about it. Hope I'll see you guys around if I haven't already.
