 * The Race of His Life (The Flash): I actually have no words, but I'll try. So, um, I love how team-centered the episode was. Seeing them work together even without Barry shows how united they were. As for the identity of the Man in the Iron Mask, I can't say I'm surprised, but I am excited for what they plan to do with him and of course, Flashpoint. I also like Wally's involvement with the team, and Harry's goodbyes to Team Flash. The only bad thing about the episode was how Zoom got defeated so easily. Regardless, this episode is now my favorite of the whole series.
 * Schism (Arrow): In complete contrast to my opinions on The Flash's finale, this was the worst season finale yet, and admittedly one of the worst episodes of the series. First off, they spent all season pressing on hope and fighting the darkness, but they contradicted that by killing off Damien, when he was already defeated. Not just that, but there wasn't much hope to go around after he was killed, either. Everyone was so gloomy (not that I blame them), except Felicity, who, a couple of episodes earlier, killed tens of thousands of people, albeit indirectly. How does that thought just pass you by, not to mention she got Cooper killed, too. Other than that, the whole 'city helps Oliver' scene was not what I had in mind. Somehow, everyone had the time to stand there and just listen to him talk, and when the actual fight ensued, they all just stood at the sidelines, cheering. When they did help, the Ghosts used their fists to fight instead of guns, which they had the whole time. This episode was probably the first time in a while that I was more interested in the flashbacks. I kinda wish there was more tension when Oliver was about to kill Taiana, though. I also didn't expect Amanda to appear, but it was a nice touch. Anyway, what I did like was Oliver's new job and Diggle returning to the army.
