Do we know if Savage is immortal in the sense that he can't be killed at all? Or is it just that he will resurrect back to his former state after being killed by conventional methods?

So you're telling me that Gilligan isn't getting off the island this episode?

That is definitely a possibility (and I actually love the ScyFy adaptation of 12 Monkeys), but the team doesn't know that so from their perspective the "gradually go farther back in time" plan of attack makes as much sense as any (other than perhaps going to the distant past to catch Savage when he is more isolated,…

Thanks. So they thought Savage would risk it and let his guard down around one of the only two people on earth who can kill him? They must think he acts as stupidly as they do.

Gradually jumping farther and farther back in the past to pursue him does make sense because each time they encounter him it is his first time running into the non-Hawks. So they don't really have to worry about giving him intel as long as they eventually kill him at some point in the past (though who knows what…

I was fast forwarding through parts so I must've missed that and I am not going to bother going back to check it out when it is just one of many examples throughout the season of the team (or a member of it) making decisions that defy logic. I have to remember to turn off my brain and not think critically while…

Not to mention the team absurdly believing that Savage didn't recognize the woman he had previously killed 200ish times.

But it is pretty obviously a "hollywood thing" because they had no problem with that female assassin kicking the crap out of numerous other males all season long (as well as previously on Arrow). It was only when they needed to create additional drama to move that plot line forward that Sara needed help to win the…

Yeah but his portrayal in the first few episodes of LOT was as a brash, arrogant take on the world type of guy who Martin Stein was constantly working to reel in.

Snart is a wonderfully enjoyable character and Wentworth Miller does a great job with him, but it is going to get tired real quick if Snart acting "good" or "bad" is solely based on what they need to make the plot work. ie. if they need a reason for a simple mission to go awry, then Snart will abandon the plan and go…

Agreed. While it is understandable to be somewhat intimidated when your competition is a billionaire genius, for Jax to completely lose his self confidence seemed at odds with the way he had previously been portrayed.

By that token, where the heck is the US government when it comes to 2016 Star City? As much as they talk about the decay in cities like Detroit, I'd like to imagine if several mayors and mayoral candidates were assassinated along with 50%+ (?) of the police force that the state or federal government would step in at…

Glad you can pardon the 5 years he was incommunicado ;-) I would probably pardon the time before that as well (and some of the time after he got back from the island). Samantha didn't take Moira's money so I could see why she wouldn't tell playboy Oliver about their son. And his public persona was not much better…

I've never had the good luck to try, but can you actually cash a years-old million dollar check?

I don't see how they are related at all. One is a third party putting a demand on Oliver. The other is a decision that is Oliver's alone to make.

I can't remember too clearly. Did Oliver tell Felicity or did she confront him about it after seeing the DNA test at Barry's lab? I thought it was the latter which makes Felicity's problem more or less the same - that he hid it, not that he did it. (The difference being that in the crossover he wasn't really hiding…

But that changes the argument a bit once we start taking other characters into account. Arguing whether Barry made the right choice, given the alternatives, is different from arguing whether that decision led to a specific consequence (in this case Joe's death). So while not going to E2, could have led to Jessie's…

Same is true if Barry had simply not gone to E2.

That assumes Barry would actually utilize any of those pointers. Wasn't Oliver's first lesson setting up booby traps to shoot Barry with arrows in the back to teach him the importance of reconnaissance before rushing in to a situation? I don't think Barry has even actually done that and in fact I remember personally…

That was more or less my thoughts. I started to type them up, but it got too complicated. Obviously, we can't take Jay's word about anything that happened on Earth-2, but Wells seemed to make it clear that Zoom and the Flash were two distinct individuals in that universe (Zolomon = Zoom, Garrick = Flash). One issue…
