Forgot he was already revealed to be Barry's father in an earlier season.

I quite liked the latest episode. Thought the [SPOILER - highlight to read]: documentary angle was an interesting take into how the show and characters have developed over the seasons, and was nice to have [SPOILER - highlight to read]: them all come together as a team again at the end.

I also liked that [SPOILER - highlight to read]: via the documentary we saw the motivations behind the various crusades, and the burdens these ppl put on themselves, as well as how they've changed/not changed their minds about it all.
Too much drama just to get a few people off the show.
The "future-backs" were the most interesting part. Not even upset they just HAD to make Ollie's kid gay (Only because the twerp gives gays a bad name. What kid ever actually wanted a boring normal life, instead of being the son of an f'n super hero??)

Where its going with Diaz and Dante is the main thing keeping me interested at the moment; I just tune out those other kind of moments you know to expect on occasion.
And yeah, liked the documentary style of the previous episode for the reasons mentioned. Did not expect the “Star City killer” from this episode to be that ****er from slabside, so that was an interesting surprise at first.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Guess you got your wish there, but is fine. Diaz had his time. The Felicity obsession with him by the last episode was getting old too which even Laurel kinda rolled her eyes at.
As expected though, Dante was badass with his debut. Love how he casually just caught all those arrows when fighting Ollie. Not sure how to feel about Emiko now tho.
I know what happened to [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Diaz was supposed to be a serious moment, but I phucking lol'd when that obviously rubber arm stuck through the door slot as Diaz reached out. Seriously, I haven't seen one that bad since Crowley got his arm broken that one time on Supernatural, and also had this obviously rubber, weird, floppy hand.

Honestly, it may as well have been [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Felicity who killed Diaz. All that scene at the end did was give her emotional validation for not pulling the trigger on him, but she wanted the guy dead more than anyone. I liked how Diaz was a troll to the team to the very end though.
I’m okay w. it.
It had a solid run, and kickstarted something pretty special. Up front news (as opposed to hey you’re cancelled) shows respect, and gives them a chance to wrap shit up well.
Ten eps means they wont meander, which the show has suffered from before.
Sounds like the final season will wrap up in a similar way to Gotham with it having less episodes, which am okay with. Sometimes less is more.
This show really had its ups and downs but glad I didnt end up dropping it like other series I dropped even though I really thought about it during season 3 or 4. When it got better afterward, it really got better, so glad to have been on the ride to the very end. Unlike Walking Dead, at least the longest running CW superhero show knows when to end.
