For those of you watching, I thought the SHIELD finale was just fantastic! It did absolutely everything that I wanted it to do, and it did all of those things very well.
The Arrow finale, mmm, not quite so much. The lead up to the Arrow finale was flat out excellent! The tension and drama were really high and they set themselves up for a truly epic finale. Which I think they sort of failed to deliver. It was still good, but not as good as the 3 or 4 episodes leading up to the finale. And I did really like the episode, but I feel like they could have done .... more ... with the plot elements they had put in place, you know?

The only real disappointment I had with the Arrow finale is that The Flash didn't have a cameo. I think that would have been a cool way to "hand off" the show. But I liked the resolution of the Slade/Ollie fight, LOVED how they handled the relationship between Ollie and Felicity (which looking back I totally didn't pick up on the clues in that scene, rather thinking it was handled in a corny fashion, but was instead a "tell" about what was really going on!).
OTOH while the Shield finale was good, I thought THAT could have been better. It certainly had its moments, but FREX why did they box up Garrett at the end, and then later he crawls into the harness and gets Dethloked? What happened after that was brilliant, but leading up was very confusing!
Glad that Ward was NOT redeemed. I completely expected that to happen, and there were all sorts of clues leading to that. But the fact that he wasn't was a nice twist.
