Yeah, maybe not. But since it came on the heels of Oliver telling Felicity that he would support her decision to kill Diaz if that’s what she wanted to do, it still doesn’t seem like something they’d consider a big enough deal to be worth holding over Emiko’s head.

I hope we’re just seeing the world as it is should Crisis happen at its original point and once it gets moved up to next season’s crossover, it sets things (mostly) right. 

I forgot to mention the best part about this episode: the stupid anti-vigilante nonsense coming to an end. And the current iteration of the team’s partnership with SCPD also coming to an end! Both reasons to celebrate.

I really liked this episode!

I have loved this show for 7 years, through its highs and (numerous) lows. I’m sad these characters’ stories are ending, but I think it’s time (past time, even). I just hope the writers decide that they CAN give Oliver Queen a shred of happiness, and rewrite the dismal future they’ve planted us in this season.

My uncle was diagnosed with this last May and passed away at the beginning of July.

I thought it would be her simply because he set his old bully on fire and she was there to witness it (although that allegedly was a step too for for the person who had, among other things, teased her victims and stolen their clothes after she killed them and melted a guy’s brain). I don’t know why she’d be okay with…

The William thing is upsetting because if he really didn’t ever hear from Oliver and Felicity again, then the explanation is going to be some incredibly stupid evil grandparent stuff, requiring us to believe that Felicity and Oliver wouldn’t demand to see him, wouldn’t somehow find him if the grandparents tried to…

This wasn’t the worst episode, I guess?

Yeah, especially given the way things were left when he took off for Central City, it wouldn’t make sense that he didn’t know at all. I’m hoping he just didn’t recognize her or something, although it is weird that he didn’t ask about her when he arrived to Star City. Maybe he thinks she’s dead or something? Or it…

I agree. I hate that the team dynamic has been missing. Although I guess there is *some* shred of hope that it’s coming back since Oliver mentioned wanting to rebuild the lair. I’m not a fan of the cop aspect as it’s been presented thus far (it’s only been four episodes and it feels like four years!), but there is a…

I hate it when the show makes Oliver a bad father. It happened at the beginning when he first found out about William, when Malcolm threatened him after telling him he knew about William, and then when Thea told him that there was a paper trail that Ruve Darhk could easily follow to find him - and Oliver did nothing…

I loved the cameos too - I loved the talking head interviews. I wish the episode had leaned into the interviews/ finished parts of the documentary a little more. The rest of the episode came off like any other non-special episode of Arrow but with camera crews. The most interesting and special part about it was pretty…

No, she asked him about a girl.

I really loved the documentary - the narration, the style, the cameos. It was so great. I wish we’d gotten much more of it, and that this show hadn’t devolved into the worst parts of Arrow. Too much Dinah, too much Rene. Diggle with his revisionist history about his and Oliver’s friendship as of late, no thanks. Whose…

I think the serial killer is the canary stalker, but I’m not 100% sure. I think the Diaz/Suicide Squad/ARGUS plot around this Dante person is also going to tie in with whoever killed Emiko’s mother. I don’t know what role the SCPD or Oliver play in that unless Dante starts making moves in Star City.

Yeah, being best DA of the decade isn’t much of a challenge, but the fact that she beat out a bunch of actual lawyers and manages to successfully pass as one without so much as a blip just grates to me.

Yeah, I like that they’re willing to gamble. I think I would’ve liked it more if some things had remained familiar. Everyone has different jobs, all the team-ups are different. There’s no team anymore, no common thread between any of these people. They don’t even seem to have the same mission anymore. 

It’s kind of weird how people just...make snarky comments about her pretending to be Laurel and that’s it. It wouldn’t bother me so much if she stumbled a little in her takeover of Laurel’s life, but she hasn’t. She’s even managed to become the most popular DA in a decade despite not having gone to law school! Give me…

I don’t know if the lack of a team would bother me so much if I was enjoying the rest of the storylines, but so far this season all I’ve really liked was Felicity and Laurel’s snarky, reluctant team up to get Diaz/free Oliver. At this point it all feels too much like a completely different show than the previous…
