Arrow: Star City 2040 (2019)
Why so many bad reviews?
Look, I get it. I don't like Felicity any more than the next guy, and making the big twist that she was alive the whole time was a big mistake. I feel that if they revealed that Felicity was actually dead, it could have served a much better purpose and give Mia some much-needed development.
That said, everything else in this episode was incredible. The fight choreography was beautiful (I will never get tired of Roy doing flips), and bringing back characters such as Nyssa and Connor made me nostalgic. It's also pretty obvious Oliver dies in the future, most likely in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Beth Schwartz's way of handling Mia and William's relationship was also really great. She could've pulled a Guggenheim and make Mia the "strong, independent woman" and William the bumbling idiot who's sexist towards her. Instead, she made it so they develop off of each other, much like how Oliver and Slade developed off of each other in Seasons 1 and 2. Mia was the brawn, William was the brains, and it worked perfectly.
If the CW is actually serious about giving Blackstar her own TV show, I'd be down for it. So long as they keep the same vibe, this could be the best season of Arrow since Season 5. Overall: 8/10.
The Flash: What's Past Is Prologue (2018)
Best Flash episode in years!
Whenever Tom Cavanagh directs an episode, you know that it is gonna be great. The last two episodes he directed, 03x19 and 04x04, were some of the best episodes of their respective seasons. This episode proved that if anybody deserves a seat in the director's seat, it's Tom Cavanagh.
This episode brought back the old-school Flash feelings that I haven't felt since Season 3. And I'm not just saying that because they brought back the old villains. Seeing Barry and Nora working together gave me memories of Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin working on the show. No Iris, Ralph, or 4 copies of Wells. Just Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin. If they can bring back that dynamic, this could be the best season since Season 2.
AND THAT ENDING THO. I'm not gonna spoil it, but I don't think I've seen a better cliffhanger in years. Once again, the best episode of the Flash in a long time. If they can keep that Vibe (pun very much intended) for the rest of the season, this could be the best season of the Flash in a long time.
