Here's hoping.

I hate your spec but this is absolutely true.

This one is pretty cool too. But where's Thea?

You took the words straight out of my fingertips.

No more turning back time! Seriously, it's cheap if it's used as a get out of jail free card. It's even worse when they ruin things more like they did with this time jump. Excepting the people surviving part.

It depends. How soon does he try to come clean? How long is it between then and the truth coming out?

I nominate the lady whose office he broke into in season 1. I liked her.

It's actually making me giggle and snort.

Damn you, Steve. Why do you have to be so affecting after last episode? I thought she started to tell them about Malcolm being alive. It's still a parallel.@apinknightmare, that's exactly how I want thing to happen. I don't want them to be mean but sad and touching since this is the choice we're left with. My knee jerk reaction to the cuddle was hoping that Felicity knows everything and will be playing mind games with him for months. Full on soap gaslighting. But after actually seeing the entire episode, your scenario or some variation of it is how I'd chose for things to go down.

I expected that too. So I count that as a point where I bid farewell to smart Oliver who was present for the early part of the episode. Then again, all these geniuses decided to just leave the ashes where they were. Didn't Felicity or Cisco ask them where they scattered them once everyone was back at the farm? It seems like a thing they would know about. I get the logistics of it. Neither show can add another villain right now but they need him on LoT. So they're having him chill at Malcolm's digs until he's needed elsewhere. I just still think it was a dumb tactical move on the part of the masks.

Let's not forget Robert. I think he should get the top spot.

I honestly wouldn't have liked the scene even without the connection to that flashback. The parallels are only an additional layer of suck. Even then I don't remeber Ollie being happy. I think Laurel mentioned his brooding or something. Even though he looked like a pathetic kicked puppy. That was while the problem still existed. The hug with Moira came after the fix. And that scene was completely different from this one. Ollie simultaneously looked sad, relieved and shocked. I'm not comparing the hugs but Oliver's emotional beats in these situations to be clear. That one after the 'miscarriage' was better.

In the end it really is the happy cuddling that's the worst of it. Oliver lying in and of itself certainly wouldn't be good but it could be understandable since he's had a lot happen and unhappen to him in a day or two. All it needed was a different reaction during the cuddle. It could have even started with a smile but then switched to conflicted or sad. Does someone here send asks to SA either via Twitter or Facebook? I really would like to know why he chose to play the scene that way.

It wasn't mentioned, but her bow and arrows were there somewhere. So I imagine she has some sort of space.

He kills them because he gets more powerful each time he does. There was the blood on the sword Malcolm brought. Can anyone remember any other occasions onscreen? I remember her saying, "You are asking the world of me." Which I gathered to be her referring to Oliver being involved in their lives. Which is a stupid line for one and untrue according to this "arrangement" for another.

Prince Khufu: I like your tongue. Finally a line worse than, "I know you in your bones."

I didn't really mind that. She was in probably the 700th warehouse over the course of a year. No wonder it looked familiar.

Lance hasn't been spotted yet but he was at the party and right next to Donna when DD crashes it. It's entirely plausible that he's taken as well.

Yup, it was the gloves.

Oh, no, no. Let's not sugar coat it. Moira didn't let him get kidnapped, she had him kidnapped. I love the woman but she was effed up. But there's been problems since they moved there. It feels like it shoukd have more pay off than Cisco taking them to task. I still can't connect it to Oliver being distracted. The geek squad was in charge of the gauntlet, he didn't really have much of an input there nor could he have. And trusting Carter with Kendra's training makes sense seeing as he's had 4000 years experience with it. (Well, as much sense as it can to trust a winged person you've just met who dropped your friend out of the sky!) it's just a plan not working, not Oliver being distracted as far as I see. Even if he had brought the rest of the team along, they just would have gotten burned there instead of at the farm. I don't think this is something that can be placed on Oliver's shoulders.

I don't get the reference. What am I missing? Well, I certainly think she's nowhere near as bad as Samantha. It would be the first time their tactic to get Laurel an in with me would have worked. Preferable to a real proposal while Oliver is lying to her by... Well, I can't even define how much.

Really? I would hope and expect Oliver to be pretty broken up about the death of a child he recently found out about and who likely got killed because of who Oliver is.

I want to have that happen so badly now. She would be so proud of going out on her own.

Yup, it's got to be Donna in there. The long blonde hair can only be hers. But Darhk tells the Ghosts to take "them" in the Asian promo, so I bet Thea and possibly Lance are in there as well. I am looking forward to Darhk's associates turning up and making fun of him.
