I mean, he was able to pull off that smash-and-grab heist at the beginning, so obviously he’s got some skills going on besides “has money”.

Ordinarily, it probably would be, but “boss’s stepdaughter targeted by supervillain” obviously gets some special treatment.

Heck, that’s how John found Oliver this time; he just remembered where he found him the FIRST time this happened.

I want an evil version of the Legends, just so that, at the end of the episode, each team realizes they accidentally brought the other team’s Mick back with them, but since there’s no discernible difference, they just roll with it.

Harry’s a dumb-dumb now, remember?

Though I suppose a problem with presenting mind reading as evidence is that there’s no way to verify it.

Because a lot of people are employed by these shows and they don’t want to be out of work?

Completely agreed.

During Season 2, Slade seemed like a terrifying, unstoppable threat, and it took everything our heroes had to stop him. But now that having low-level superstrength and durability isn’t anywhere near as impressive, it’s harder to come up with bad guys whose abilities seem suitably awe inspiring, but don’t make it…

Or when she calls Felicity “sister-wife”.

While Season 7 isn’t in the same ballpark as 1, 2, or 5, I’d put “The Slabside Redemption” up there with the best episodes the show’s ever done.

Exactly!

At the time it was set up, the existence of metahumans was still unknown to the general public, so no prison outside of Star Labs would have been able to hold most of those bad guys.

Is there any word on their old animated shorts from the 20's through the 50's?

Don’t know about the others, but the simplest explanation for where Batman went would be “Knightfall happened.”

Testing her DNA only does anything useful if you have another DNA sample to compare it to. They COULD compare it to Kate’s DNA to see if it’s really her sister, yes. They only reason I can think of that they don’t is that, in a surprising display of realism, doing a DNA test is a long process with a huge backlog of…

Rugrats?

Isn’t that what Kara did in Season 2?

In anime, that would turn into a surprisingly useful power.

I get the impression that the Monitor is, if not outright lying, at least misleading Barry about what will really happen during Crisis, which is why he destroyed the newspaper image.
