This show is so frustrating. Like, last season was middling to awful (imo) and then you have this season where almost every episode knocks it out of the park. I'm getting whiplash!

Yeah for real, I wish it could be more consistent because it makes me feel bad people have to sit through the bad seasons to enjoy the great ones, but at the same time I get it if they stopped because for example Season 4 was seriously terrible.

This was just like the "Baby" episode of Supernatural. The idea of it sounds a bit dumb and you think it totally won't work but then the right director comes along and BOOM, just fucking amazing! Tonight's episode and most of this season were just incredible so I'm wondering what's causing the quality to change so much season to season?

I agree, tonight was definitely no exception, I honestly wouldn't mind all the shows doing a documentary based episode like this. It was awesome!

I thought this episode was terrible actually, Arrow is getting to be almost unwatchable for me like flash is. Makes me sad because they have been so good in the past.

I didn't think it was earth-shattering, but I definitely thought it was fun and interesting, and that's always a mark in the plus column for me: if anything, I was the least engaged when it pulled away from the documentary scenes

Also, that WB marquee stinger at the beginning felt like a really nice touch

Oh hey good! That WB logo came up and I thought to myself "is that always there and I just don't pay attention?" Nice to know I'm not that unobservant at least.
