Given that Felicity is obviously very prominent in the future, I don't think the name Smoak is that much help in that regard. Kuttler or Dearden would have made more sense if it's about safety.

That doesn’t make the tiniest bit of sense. He’s now Dig’s adopted son looking just like Dig’s bio son in an alternate timeline and using the same alias? Sure.

What’s that hanging over the crib, a bow and... the Flash symbol?

Maybe Poison Ivy sets up shop there at some point? The Archer has to be Felicity’s brain child. There’s no need to call it that otherwise. I just hope at some point she incorporates peep holes, which obviously wasn’t the case when William’s grandparents showed up. Why there wasn’t a CCTV camera is an even bigger mistery.

Funny because it's true. Also pretty much exactly what I thought when they made the decision to send him to CC to have a normal life. Riiiiight. Aside from the crazy shit one risks just by living there, William is still the kid of the unmasked Green Arrow. The same Green Arrow who has worked with Flash for years now. So it really makes perfect sense.

They're also central to the show and Mia is at least important in the flashforwards, so it makes sense for the show to takve advantage of the viewers' investment in the characters.

The running works really well. But I'm not that sure it would just go on to the baby being born. I'd modify it to a cut saying 24 hours earlier or something so that whatever problem the episode deals with can happen and then we can come back to that starting point. Just because I have difficulty imagining Mia being born without a hitch.

Oh, I think the birth definitely happens on screen. Okay, not the labor, but Felicity being wheeled off into the delivery room after whatever shit goes down in the premiere. Or a shot of Dig prepping to assist her in either the new lair (they need one stat) or somewhere in the field. No way will they have that happen during the hiatus. Oliver finding out about the pregnancy in an episode is more questionable, but I’m leaning very, very heavily toward yes.

Next season premiere, she got pregnant somewhere between early December when Oliver was released and now, so she should be due in September or October. Which just fits the premiere and keeps the parallel to 3x01.

Isn't Emiko in the hospital? Or was that last week's episode?

This is why I’m not relishing the prospect of Jack Moore potentially being given a coming out storyline. I don’t think he can handle it. Oh, man, can he have pancakes first makes so much freaking sense given how ineptly Moira and Robert handled all of Oliver’s bullshit while he was growing up. I don’t love it as a parenting move on his part, but I appreciate it connecting to his own upbringing. That’s not something I felt the show has been doing that well lately - having characters make sense.

Curtis. COME ONNNNNN. Did I do it right? 😁

Eh, I like the released clips so I'm willing to make allowances. Maybe the crew rescheduled while Felicity was out, Oliver didn't tell her because he saw no reason to, and Felicity figured they'd tell William when he came and schedule things around him.

I got the same impression from the scene. Felicity surprised Oliver, and maybe she didn't know the crew would be there when she came home with William.

Right as we hear the front door shut before he heads for William and Felicity.

As a teenager, he's fully entitled to it. I have 20 years on him and I wouldn't be thrilled to come home to a filming crew either. Love the way Oliver engulfs him. Yay, broody baby is home. Chip off the old block. What does Oliver say when he and Felicity come in? What I've seen of the ep so far, I like.

Quentin shaved his head after his heart attack, right? So this is presumably in that awful time period when Sara was dead but he didn't know it?

I haven't said this in a good long while, but I like Dig in that clip. Especially in the old footage.

Same. Ditto. Also, William is so freaking big. God, if they do the coming out story, I just hope JM can handle it.

Can you guys still see that? Because all i'm getting is a notification that it's been removed from Instagram.

So this connects to William's future abandonment issues? As for him coming out, it's possible, but I'm not completely sold on that happening in the present. Most of the time, the ebb and flow of this show is governed by propelling the storyline forward and we alread know William is gay from the flash forwards. That definitely could be a good Queen/Queen-Smoak family scene though.

@tv echo, some of the tweets you posted are doubled. Could you delete the duplicates? This thread is pretty hard to load with all the media content as is. I can't even do it on some of my devices.

Which guy, the one sitting in the chair? That's definitely not him.

Wow, I actually thought Oliver was buying time for Dinah to do whatever she did with the power. I don't even understand what Hackett did, but my attention was really wandering during those scenes. Nice to have him resigned after just getting out what was supposed to be a life sentence.
