Stephen Amell has such strong dad energy - I’ve really loved seeing Oliver spend time with his kids. I wish they’d cut out some other stuff in this episode so we could’ve gotten even more of it tonight. I’m glad that Mia made peace with him leaving when she was a baby, and William continues to be a delight. When…

Multitasking?

I haven’t watched this show in forever, but I tuned in right as Barry was fighting the sentient blood clot. When the woman showed up and called it her “beautiful boy,” I considered becoming a regular viewer again.

Yeah, my dislike of the line has more to do with my personal feelings about Katie Cassidy’s hair than anything - her snarking about people’s fashion choices is in character. And I’d rather have Laurel snark about her hair than make threats of revenge considering the show is beating us over the head with how good she…

I think E-2 Laurel and the writing for her plays to Katie’s strengths. She’s good at being snarky and flippant and sells Laurel’s sarcastic humor, but IMO wasn’t that great at all the things that they were trying to make E-1 Laurel be. The writing for her was bad, and the acting couldn’t make up for it.

I wasn’t a fan of this one.

I think this was my favorite episode of the whole show.

There was a video from the last day of filming posted with a few cast members being applauded by the crew and the actor who plays Rory was there, so I’m guessing he’s back at some point in the final episodes. 

My favorite things about this season are:

Candice mentioned on Twitter that Iris is only in two episodes of the crossover.

Ollie should be calling Barry anyway (And Vice Versa) considering they’re both tied up in this Crisis business.

Also, while I’m still getting used to Laurel’s new hairdo, I will say I LOVE her new costume.

I really enjoyed Oliver getting to spend some time with his kids, getting to see them together and starting to heal the wounds he left behind, and being rid of the dual storylines. I want everyone to stay in the present as one big team for a while.

She was in a play that lasted through filming of the first few episodes, and after that I guess she figured what’s the point? Either that or maybe she had something else lined up and it fell through. 

Good. I expect it to only be a scene or two at the end - it would’ve been weird to wrap up Oliver’s story without her. 

She seems to be there as well. 

All the future kids seem to be filming the backdoor pilot, so I don’t think they’re going anywhere. 

I never really cared for the LoA storyline, so this episode didn’t do much for me, although I did enjoy seeing Thea back, and I think that Stephen’s been doing his best work these past few episodes.

I just finished watching this one and I really feel like I need a Sandi in my life to give me a little back rub and some encouraging words when I’m spiraling.
