Thea lost the money she got from Malcolm when Roy was exposed as the Arrow. Since her finances were tied up with Verdant, which the Arrow was using as a base of operations, they got RICOed.

I never thought the technical aspects of the fights last season were flawed, it was more the lack of variety and the overuse of anonymous, faceless Ghosts as punching bags.

Hear hear! While I think last season was definitely the show's weakest, there were still far too many awesome moments for me to ever hate the show. And I'm perversely kinda glad to have cold-blooded-killer Oliver back.

I would watch a Speedy spinoff starring Willa Holland, not gonna lie.

See, I was kinda hoping she'd turn up while Sara and Laurel were still around, so there'd be a moment where Thea looks at all of them (and Felicity) and says, "Show of hands: who here has NOT slept with my brother?"

That'd actually be neat. Or the son of that guy Robert mentioned having killed, which served as his motivation for the whole Clean Up The Glades (By Any Means Necessary) agenda.

You ever heard a little ditty called "Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting"?

As far as I could tell, the Season 4 flashbacks took place over the course of a few weeks, MAYBE a month or two. That gives them plenty of wiggle room here.

Damien, Reverse Flash, Malcolm, AND Captain Cold all on the same team. That scenery's gonna be downight GUZZLED.

Nah, Malcolm's gonna be part of the time traveling Legion of Doom this year.

You say bullshit. I say frickin' awesome.

I'm thinking his brother might be someone that Oliver killed back during Season 1.

Or they could bring Laurel back by finishing up Oliver's flashback storyline this season, then spend the next five seasons doing flashbacks to what Laurel was doing during those five years. Then Seasons 11-15 can be Diggles, 16-20 can be Felicity's, 21-25 Thea's, until we've finally got some octogenarians playing…

I think it's more a "a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan can cause a tornado in the United States" thing. Just the slight changes caused by Nora Allen dying a minute or so later can, fifteen years on, have some ripple effects.

It's looking like he may be more of a minion for the real Big Bad this year.

Seeing how he pretty much copied the diverging-timelines diagran from Back to the Future II exactly . . .

In this case, I thought the repetition worked because it was used to establish similarities between the new timeline and its characters and the ones we're used to, right down to re-enacting the ending to the pilot episode.

Given the reveal about Iris at the end, they're still doing an alternate timeline, just a milder one.

We're already up to five different versions of Barry being present that night

Peter and Gwen from The Amazing Spider-Man movies had some pretty kickass romantic chemistry.
