Ah, Michael Weatherly. It seems so long since he was playing that hot guy on Dark Angel and dating Jessica Alba in real life.

I think she was most improved, which isn't hard considering how truly awful she was in season 2, but she still frequently irritated me and caused me to shout at the screen. Her stupid decisions/arguments around bringing Sara back are one example of this.

Plus that hot guy is leaving/has left Criminal Minds. My mother actually took the time to ring me up and tell me that news. She was pretty devastated.

Come on, it's Detective Officer Captain Lance.

I've resigned myself to it sucking, especially after the clusterfuck of Batman v Superman.

I guess I'm looking at this from the perspective of her not having to work, yet deciding to push herself until she could barely stand and her making the decision to go out after Jamie on what would have been a horrendous ride after having just experienced bleeding.

The carriage ride really was the stupidest thing Claire's done, especially as she said in the voiceover that she couldn't interfere in the duel in case she distracted Jamie and gave Randall an opportunity to make a kill shot. I think it also demonstrated that, apart from Murtagh, they don't have any other allies in…

They could lean in a bit on the time effects here - if Frank is never born, Claire wouldn't likely go to the Highlands, therefore wouldn't meet Jamie.

It's interesting to read other people's perspectives on this, particularly when it's something I've got opinions on that haven't been formed by experience.

Ignore if you haven't seen the promo and don't want to know what it foreshadows.

Having an episode with no Carter and very little Vandal Savage and Kendra just demonstrated that they're the weakest links in this show. Rip is easily the next most useless and I was hoping that Sara being capable of piloting the Waverider meant he'd be the one to sacrifice himself. Fingers crossed for the finale.

Or, was Rip's idiocy in revealing all the details about his family forced on him by the Time Masters' manipulation? Are we supposed to believe that every stupid choice that moron made was forced on him by someone? And if every thing the team was doing was being manipulated by the Time Masters, why were the Time…

You just think they're on screen for more time because watching Kendra saps your will to live without you realising it.

If someone else has to die, can it be the coat Felicity was wearing in this episode?

Interesting episode. Excluding those woeful flashbacks, it reminded me of the episodes we had leading up to the season finales of seasons one and two, so I've got hope that they finish out strong. Not a lot, but a bit.

You have seen Donna, right? What man would turn that down?

You can like Thea and still realise that a show solely centered around her would be absolutely terrible.

Question - does anyone know why Katie Cassidy is still being credited at the start? I assumed that actors get dropped from the credits when their character leaves/is killed.

Well, no. Darhk is the mass murderer. The bomb couldn't be stopped, Felicity directed it somewhere it would kill fewer people. It's not like she pressed the launch button.

Possibly it plays better when viewed back to back with the last two episodes. You could argue that the last 3 episodes of Arrow's seasons have been the finale and that they work best when viewed all together.
