I definitely understand - although I still feel like it's still a dark cloud over the season. And IMO Flash isn't a show that can handle dark clouds to be honest…

Counter offer - Barry will bring back Moira for some contrived reason that somehow helps Iris….?

LOL very true. But the end result is the same. Dread, dread, dread.

If the Flash somehow makes Iris OK with Barry lying to her over and over again when she finds out about what Barry knows, I'll be incredibly disappointed.

I'm glad! :D

I just responded to Jane Says' post :)

Me too! I found out through Emily and Carlos' cute interaction on twitter haha

Apparently this was an ad-lib which makes Emily and Carlos all the more amazing:

"It seems Olicity shippers will read absolutely everything into absolutely anything"

Really? I'm an Olicity fan and I loved the 100th.

LOL well that I can agree with

I'm not really understanding the issue considering they were all holograms, not ghosts. They're holograms of the most important people Oliver lost throughout the series.

yeah. definitely not the episode for you. I think the issue is that this was also Arrow's 100th so it had to be a standalone in a sense. The show was between a rock and a hard place and did the best they could

Roy/Felicity are people Oliver has lost emotionally/physically. Roy moved away. Oliver lost Felicity emotionally

LOL Noooo magic doesn't fit into the gritty realism! :p Bring back the gritty!

I guess it depends on what you were expecting when you went into the episode. If you were expecting cool stunts and fights? Not the episode for you. If you were expecting an episode with a lot of heart and character development? This episode is definitely for you

My current newbie rank:
1) Rory - Incredibly sweet and fits in well with the rest of the crew just take away the magic rags and let's keep him please
2) Evelyn - Made a bit more interesting what with her being a traitor
3) Curtis - Enjoy his jokes, but find him very irrelevant
4) Wild Dog - Just really dislike him and his…

She'll be in episode 10 as BS - but anything beyond that is a mystery.

I thought this was a brilliant episode and it's all thanks to the little details that nailed it…

nah, if it wasn't for Felicity Havenrock would've been fine. But National City would've been destroyed. Because y'know… Felicity didn't launch the missiles, Damien did and literally no one else could do anything to minimize the damage. Felicity just didn't have enough time to redirect them to a safe space.
