I really liked Sara coming to town, and I thought she made the most sense that anyone ever has about Laurel and a road to redemption. I wish she’d turned up earlier and given that speech for Laurel to live up to throughout the season, instead of a full on (ridiculously stupid and nonsensical) return to villainy for…

I wish I agreed. I thought it was a half-assed mess. 

Sure, sure. 

I don’t care.

If it soothes your bitter soul to believe that, sure. 

No, especially when the celebration can be coupled with comic canon non-compliance bitterness. 

I don’t care for Laurel, but her final words were very sad, especially considering Oliver treated her like garbage for pretty much the entire time we’d seen them together. 

That’s definitely true! But the ones I see people harping on over and over are:

I think Felicity’s main issue is that people don’t like the main character getting called out on their idiocy - and Oliver is a huge, huge idiot most of the time (and yet I still love him the most). 

I’m sad - I really love Felicity, and have always enjoyed her relationship with Oliver (even through the trying times), and her as a character on her own.

I’m pretty sure she’s committed to a play. 

Yeah, the episode last night indicated she does run it remotely. But the company has her name on it, and she’s the publicly known wife of a vigilante. If they’re so disgraced in the future, how does she even have any clients? 

Yes, I know that we have not seen Roy go into a Lazarus Pit.

I do find the final scene a bit odd, though. Seemed like it implied Felicity felt responsible for Ollie’s death when we all expect it will be because of Crisis.

It’s weird because in close-ups you could see they’d given her deep crow’s feet and quite a bit of wrinkles on her forehead, but in shots that were further away those weren’t very visible at all - she looked like her normal self. I guess the greys really add to the overall effect. I’m glad they didn’t give her any -…

For an Oliver-lite episode, I liked this one a lot more than I thought I would.

It’s not, but I’m still gonna hope for a slightly less depressing end than what we’ve already been shown.

That could already be the case though. But if it makes his life’s work not in vain and leads to a less depressing future, then sure. I’d rather him be alive and with his family though. 

I actually think the show being over and the season being shorter is why they could do it. If they were planning on Arrow going on without Stephen, then I can see why they’d have to write him out in such a bleak way, but since there’s a short season with a major crossover event coming toward the end of it (assuming it…

Yes, I’m talking about this show. Dinah knows the Black Canary before her wasn’t a meta, and the Canary before that one wasn’t either. There’s no need to have an identity crisis over not having something the people who came before her didn’t have either.
