I don't watch Arrow, but didn't they say season 5 wouldn't have flashbacks?

Not quite correct, Season 5 is the last season to have flashbacks relating with Oliver's back story while everyone thought he was dead at sea.

Which makes me interested in what they'll do for Season 6 of the show.

Just got done watching Justice League Dark and all in all, it was a pretty good movie, I think of out of all of DC's Animated Movie Universe films it's the best of the bunch.

John Constantine is easily the best part of the film.

After today's episode of the Flash, these five have all appeared in the Arrowverse. Does anyone else think it's about time for a CW JLA.

[Dr Kain]

Hell yeah, I could totally go for a Justice League Detroit.

Anyway, tonight's Flash episode was a bit on the sappy side, but enjoyable nonetheless. Never thought I would ever see a live action version of Gypsy. That was awesome. Not to mention we finally got to see Cisco really learning how to use his abilities. I did like how bold Iris was against the dude, but seriously, why would the guy just stall? If you're going to shoot someone, do it right away. That is why every James Bond villain has failed, they would rather talk than shoot. Nice seeing Wally get the spotlight and we got some really touching moments.

The only thing I want to know is, how much longer do I have to wait until Grodd comes back? I want to see my Gorilla invasion already.

Black Flash finally appeared, but in Legends?! I doubt anyone was expecting that. I really thought they would save him for a later episode of the Flash.

Tonight was probably the best episode of Arrow this season (not counting Invasion). The action scenes and camera work were down right incredible, all of the plots worked, so far Talia doesn't suck, and we finally have the real Black Canary. I don't care if it was nothing more than a plot gimmick, I am perfectly okay with that because we have the real Black Canary in the house. I'm also curious to see if Felicity is going to leave to work with Helix, allowing Curtis to take her place. I just hope they don't mess the rest up.

The whole Black Canary BS in Arrow screams of damage control. They basically gave half of Black Canary's background and original to Laurel, and now have just thrown her out the window for another character that's named after the Golden Age one but has powers. It's hard for me to see her as the "real" Black Canary when two completely unrelated people have already taken a similar title within the course of the show.

Sigh, maybe one day I'll actually see a show do my favourite DC character justice. The closest I've got so far is Dinah's mother in the Birds of Prey TV series.

Yeah, I'm not especially sold on the Black Canary thing at all. It feels a little hamfisted.

As for what I do like, I was quite fond of the little crossover stuff this week on Flash and Arrow. I hope they do more of it. It really makes the shows feel connected outside of the event crossovers.

[Dr Kain]

Like I said, I don't care if it is hamfisted, she's going to be the real Black Canary. Hell, she already has the personality of her.
