Continuum - Final Hour

It’s not uncommon for a series final to feel rushed or drawn out, but it is less common for the final episode of a series to feel a bit of both. I’m curious to know how Simon Barry‘s full vision of the series (likely twice as long as the 39 episodes made for air) may have played out differently than the show’s truncated final season involving an army from the future, Kiera‘s (Rachel Nichols) last chance to make it home, tearful goodbyes, final betrayals, unexpected alliances, and a melancholy ending that is befitting the tone of Continuum. As it is we can only judge the show that was, rather than how it might have been.

Once Upon a Time - Dreamcatcher

Henry‘s (Jared Gilmore) love life plays a central role in this week’s episode, both in Storybrooke and in the flashbacks to Camelot, as his burgeoning relationship with Violet (Olivia Steele Falconer) will not only prove to be the final piece of the puzzle to releasing Merlin (Elliot Knight) but also break the young man’s heart in two different timelines. In the past Violet’s rejection gives the young man the heartbreak necessary to break the Dark One’s curse and back in the present, while his relationship goes much more smoothly, poor Henry’s heartbreak comes from the discovery of Emma‘s (Jennifer Morrison) treatment of his first love.

iZombie - Real Dead Housewife of Seattle

After eating the brains of a murdered trophy wife, a suddenly fashion-obsessed and status-conscious Liv (Rose McIver) begins snooping into the case which leads to Vaughn Du Clark (Steven Weber) who had been carrying on an affair with the victim in the weeks before her death. A conversation between Vaughn and Gilda (Leanne Lapp), who begins giving Major (Robert Buckley) a new kind of motivation to keep up his nightly activities, reveals an important fact about zombies (and their ability to relive the memories from ingested brains) that the unintentional zombie maker is still unaware of.

Arrow - Restoration

While the main storyline of “Retoration” deals with Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) working through their trust issues by tracking down the woman (Carmen Moore) who ordered the hit on Diggle’s brother, “Restoration” actually gets its name from its B-story which involves the resurrection of another fallen hero. I’m glad that the series got Ollie and Dig to work out their issues fairly early in the season rather than continuing to allow the distrust and anger to fester any longer. Even if Diggle is left without answers or a measure of revenge at least our hero’s most trustworthy sidekick is back onboard.
