Season 8 Live Posting Thread

[insomniadreams88]

Seriously, if you'd told me in Season 4, even through the end of Season 5, how much I would enjoy Oliver/William scenes and hearing about that relationship... 

[BkWurm1]

Despite what's missing from this retrospective, I'm glad for the Felicity and Olicity content.  I wondered if not having EBR to interview would mean Felicity would get the short stick but she felt properly represented.

Has Rene grown at all though?

He got to be mayor.  But no.

[quarks]

If memory serves, this season didn't bother to pay much of a tribute to seasons 2 and 4, though.

“THIS IS KATANA! SHE HAS MY BACK!”

Anatoly . . . never thought he’d work out so well.

[scarynikki12]

I do agree this whole season is the series finale. The other shows should consider a similar approach so they don’t have to try and fit it all into forty minutes. 

[Primal Slayer]

As usual....I had a certain hope for this retrospective and they remained very Arrow lol

[quarks]

It wasn't for nothing, Oliver! The cast is getting residuals! I promise!

[insomniadreams88]

Ugh, that stupid Dinah pose in 807. I still don't get it. 

[apinknightmare]

Mmmmm, this wasn't a pot of gold, Greg. A pot of poo with some gold pieces on top to lure us in maybe? 

[quarks]

"You have failed this universe" is still a great line.

[BkWurm1]

It's funny.  I really enjoyed a lot of season 8.  It did a great build up to crisis over all.  It's not our show's fault Crisis mostly sucked.  

[statsgirl]

Stephen, OLIVER DIED!  How can we walk away happy?

[insomniadreams88]

I don't think there's ever been (or will ever be) a character in the Arrowverse who needs as much redemption as Oliver apparently has over the years. 

[scarynikki12]

I probably should feel sad about Oliver dying in Crisis but the scene just reminds me of all the Sara goodness. 

[statsgirl]

Rene giving a toast just before stabbing Oliver in the back.

I HATE YOU, RENE

[quarks]

Katie Cassidy, you cannot tell me that you have actually enjoyed playing the various Laurels throughout this show. Some of the Laurels and the episodes, yes, but not all of them.

[tennisgurl]

I did like how they did this season, and mostly thought it was a good finale season and the build up to Crisis was good. Its not their fault the Crisis was a mess. I liked the whole journey through Arrow seasons past with tons of past locations. 

BUT I DONT WANT OLIVER TO DIE!

Honestly though, why is there so much Rick Gonzalez in this?? Ughhhhhhhhh

[quarks]

Berlanti, I would feel more grateful if you'd been pouring MONEY instead of GRATITUDE into this show.

[BkWurm1]

OTA!!

[bettername2come]

I screamed when they showed the OTA clip.

[scarynikki12]

Aww they left the literal OTA moment for the end.

Residuals and a ton of shows on the CW.  Pot of Gold for GW

[tennisgurl]

Awww the OTA scene! Perfect way to close us out!

[calliope1975]

OTA!!!!!!! 

[Lantern7]

“I love you, Laurel. And I hope you can carry my legacy after a brainwashed Thea kills me.”

[Lady Calypso]

So, I had to miss this first hour, but no way am I missing the final episode of Arrow with all of you guys.

And goodie, tuning in just in time for the OTA!

[tennisgurl]

Ugggg dont allow NTA and their passive aggressive bullshit into this.

[insomniadreams88]

Wait, did they really include clips from the awful civil war storyline in a celebration of the show? 

[scarynikki12]

It just occurred to me that Dinah not being a cop in the spinoff means I don’t have to yell at her about her hair as much. I’m sure I still will but not enough to raise the blood pressure.

Not too much fellatio involved. Good special.

[insomniadreams88]

Here we go... 

[tennisgurl]

Oh man, closing with that Diggle and Oliver scene...where did this onion come from?

[quarks]

Ok, everyone.

Just how many warehouses do we think we're going to see in the next hour???? I'm betting on three!

[shantown]

Man, they lucked out so much with how awesome JDJ, KM, and BL are... can't believe they're squandering that

[Primal Slayer]

I feel like that was such a sudden end to this lol

The music even cut off in like the middle of a note!

[tennisgurl]

The multiverse has your eyes Oliver.

[Lady Calypso]

Ouch. This already hurts a bit, with that title card.

[Primal Slayer]

Entirely "new" universe? He hasnt been watching these other shows...

[statsgirl]

I like all the old arrows on the credit plate.

[quarks]

NO. I CANNOT TAKE THIS SCENE AGAIN EVEN IF YOU ARE REENACTING IT....

Oh. OK. 

[JJ928]

and the end starts now...

[scarynikki12]

He gets to save Moira! 

[mtlchick]

The final hour.  Where we have to recount his mom dying AGAIN.... no wait, she LIVED!

 

MOIRA LIVED!
