“Wow, you two really are perfect for each other.”

This episode was so amazing.

Well, that was insanely and wildly perfect.

Cheers to my local CW that decided to cut off the end of the episode to play a Black-ish commercial.

This was very satisfying. I hope those toxic reddit trolls worked themselves into fits over Olicity getting the parting shot. These two had rare chemistry, and I was always invested in them, even times like in season 4 when the stories through contrivances at them that were hard to bear.

It’s hard for me to express how much I love this show. As cheesy as it sounds, it really has meant so much to me over these last few years. For me, it set new standards for what I enjoy in genre television. Gritty, grounded, character-driven, morally complex. Most of all, Oliver Queen has become one of my favorite…

The main thing was the lame ass drug dealer Diaz as the main villain when there are so many better choices that could have been made. I still enjoyed the show during these seasons, but sometimes it was hard to watch. The fact that this schmuck took out Emerson’s character was annoying.  

I appreciate that Oliver has such a positive legacy. But the statue was definitely overkill.

I liked it but I feel really bad for JJ. Mia was right to be pissed at Not-Laurel for forcing the memories on her but she at least got to remember some good stuff - her training, being a hero, time with her dad. All JJ got was was being evil. All his parent worked so hard to make not happen to him, all his happy life…

- So, there were some bright spots, but overall, that may have been one of the stupidest Arrow episodes I’ve ever watched. I was laughing my ass off like it was a Legends episode.

I’m not sure how she can have “everything she could have ever wanted,” as the synopsis claims if both of her parents are dead

I feel you.

I liked it. : (

The beginning was amazing, the inter-character stuff was great, the action... really wasn’t necessary? Like, honestly, giving them a timer and just having the characters get more time interacting as they work against it would have felt better for me.

Stephen Amell’s scenes with Oliver’s kids are better and more impactful than basically the entirety of Seasons 3, 4 and 6. *This* is what Arrow should have been like the whole time. Not trying to top itself with spectacle, but the characters.

It is remarkable that Jameela Jamil had never acted before being cast on The Good Place. But she brings a lot to it. When Mike Schur had her audition he asked her to do a posh British accent & she immediately tried like five different regionally specific ones before landing on the one they thought was right for…

Feels like the thesis of the whole show-the creative team has said that we will discover ‘What We Owe to Each Other’-maybe that’ll be it. People make each other better, and we owe it to each other to mutually improve (not necessarily save someone who shows no capacity or change or interest in self-improvement). 

William’s little finger-twirl while mouthing “Wrap it up” to Mia, who was currently in a cage-fighting deathmatch, was just perfect. I kind of zoned-out during all the future Star City stuff, but it was all worth it to get these two characters into the present day. 

That look on Stephen’s face when Oliver was in the pit and saw William and Mia in the audience... that was just so amazing, he conveyed the whole “i didn’t want you to see me like this” feeling he had. And then Mia was all WOW so that was even nicer.

I'm surprised it didn't get mentioned, Mia's impressed "Wow," when Oliver absolutely dismantled a dude twice his size was lovely. Mia's great whenever she's not a human-sized scowl.
