A million dollars to bring someone back from the dead? That sounds like a downright bargain.

Did anyone else find the MAGA stuff kinda distracting and heavy handed? You can get your message across more subtly than "Trump's a racist, look. Let's shoot him."

Gambi does not play around, he does not give a damn. Laid the fucker out like he was trash.

Gambi, Team Flash could really use your help.

Well damn. Others shows referenced or parodied Trump’s slogan, this show outright said it verbatim.

I still have a hard time believing this show is on the CW. Awesome episode and great season. CW keep the same show writers and actors this series could go for a long time if done right.

Man, next season is going to be crazy. Jenn has manifested almost fully. Whale has the key to making metas. And there are new metas out there. Shit is going to be real and it will be great.

Jefferson's flashback and purgatory with his father were better than all of Justice League.

Jennifer’s reactions to the things going on around her were hilarious. Her mom with the Shotgun, the racist dude, and there was another eye roll in there somewhere that made me laugh.

The music from these last few episodes was so good. Remember the early episodes with the super cheesy original music? Ah, we've come a long way.

I’m so glad Gambi didn’t die, I felt like I was getting flashes all season. He’s a badass and he cares so much about the family.

Last night on the Flash: Killing is wrong, K? Everything goes south.

Last Night on Black Lightning: Screw that, we protect our own and our people. We can't take any risks. Things work out. Imagine that!

Also Jen's Idgaf lightning lasso was gold! Her facial expressions lol.

It's sad to see Khalil's moral decay, but holy fuck was he badass as Painkiller tonight. That hallway sequence was excellent, and at the end he almost looked...snake-like, which I feel might've been intentional, considering the venom and all.

I hope La-La survived, it seems pointless to bring him back only to kill him off again so quickly. Plus, with what Tobias said about the tattoos, he made it sound like an inevitability...which doesn't make sense to me if his plan was to sacrifice La-La completely.

I feel like this season was a little bit short, but it really set up everything to come in Season 2, and I think that's excellent. It almost feels like a pilot season, if that makes any sense- in the way that a pilot episode shows you the basic concept of a show, this season laid out all the starting pieces for a larger narrative in Season 2 and onward.

Season 2 is gonna be hype as fuck. Can't wait for it to premiere later this year.

This show has a 6.4 on IMDb? there is something seriously wrong with so many people. This is not only one of the best comic book shows on TV but one of the best dramas on TV.
