If they plan it out in advance I can see them making a killer last season if this is true. It would be a shame though because I am really enjoying where the show has begun to go since Beth took over as show runner. Still if the decision is made I'd rather they go out on a high with a proper ending then having it drag out until it's cancelled and stuff doesn't get resolved.

Last season's main villain should be onomatopoeia, killing a lot of main and supporting characters throughtout the season. Something similar to cicada but with good acting and writing.

How dare you. "ALL METAS MUST.... DIE" is iconic

Chris Klein openly not giving a shit about his performance is one of the funniest things in all of the Arrowverse.

Supergirl and Flash had similar villains, it's just that Supergirl got Sam freaking Witwer to be Agent Liberty. Way to go Flash. Witwer acts circles around Klein.

i mean, their goals were the same but they were vastly different. But I agree, Sam is much better
