Nothing to say he hasn't taken some time off already in the months that have passed.

This. If it was her original setting, fine. But it wasn't. And it seems the team is functioning pretty well at the moment, so it's not the case of you're doing a horrible job at this, it's better that I take over either. I'm not even mad about it on the writing level, just confused. On the acting level, I think JH overacts the hell of those scenes and not in an amusing way either.

Under the vest.

What I find odd here is that she didn't really come on to the team like that, she wa reluctant, but definitely not seeking command. This seems to have just sprung out suddenly. Maybe that's the effect of the explosion on her? Thea's in a coma, Dig's suffering from PTSD and maybe a physical injury, and Dinah's bossy out of the blue?

I'm actually the opposite and am expecting at least flashbacks to Felicity and Dig in future episodes that focus on them. Like, the episode Felicity and Oliver make a decisive move forward in the present, I'm willing to bet we'll see their reunion in the flashbacks. Which makes me think MG was being very sneaky. Yes, he said there was no romantic kissing in the premier and it's true. But it felt weird to think about Olicity reuniting after Oliver thought she could be dead. In stead this wasn't in the premiere at all, but they'll show it in a later episode, where it's more relevant to the main plot. And what happens to Dig is revealed when an episode focuses more on his issues. While I'm talking about the island, those scenes were so rushed and devoid of emotional impact. It was just characters moving from spot A to spot B. I wouldn't have expected to be saying this, but the writing for William has improved. Closed off and sullen, and passive agressive with the backpack, feels right. Of course, it was the one truly horrific scene they chose to push down our throats in promos. Everything else was fine in my book. When JH unclenches and plays Dinah as just a person, I think she's fine. But when she goes for tough girl, yeesh. Also, I think KC is picking up on her sultry technique. There was a weird sexual vibe in her last scene with Lance. While I don't perscribe to the school of thought that our dopplegangers are just like us, that man looks just like your father! Come on! Overall, I don't think it's a bad episode, it just didn't feel much like a season premiere to me.

Oooh, Felicity's dress has a big ole' slit. Crossing my fingers hard for some indication of pre-wedding shenanigans there. Maybe the bride isn't in the church yet because it takes the bridal party a while to find Felicity and Oliver groping in a supply closet.

Regardless of real world customs, black is common for Arrowverse funerals - Moira, Laurel, I think Malcolm's wife (we saw kid Oliver and Tommy after it in a flashback, didn't we?), and while I haven't watched, I'm fairly sure I saw photos of The Flash characters wearing black to some funeral on their show.

One thing I'm really looking forward regarding the original WA wedding is seeing everyone dressed up. I like to think it's a combination of both. He's been waiting for this almost longer than Oliver, and he ended up being married by Felicity's weird temporary dude due to circumstances.

I wondered who that one optimistic vote came from.

Going by Barry's and Iris's expressions during Olicity vows, my expectations are running high there.

He does, but I didn't think they'd include footage from episode 7. I'm sure you're right, though.

Apparently I missed a ton of what was going on in the promo, including Oliver in a jail cell. It could be about the GA accusations, since he's giving a press conference about it, but I'd almost be willing to bet he escaped there to think for a bit. http://dust2dust34.tumblr.com/image/166259415044

From what I got, Felicity and Curtis surviving the island. It seems Cisco worked with them to get Barry out of the speedforce.

I'm not sure Sara was ever legally proclaimed to be alive after she showed up in season 2. I know she had a job and there was that welcome home party at the Queen mansion, but that's it.

That's just what I wanted to say. Oliver and Felicity are like, you're the greatest. And Barry and Iris are looking at them all, you guys are the greatest. :) Looking at all the pics at Just Jared, they all look so happy during filming. And the post-wedding hug reminds me of the post-proposal hug. Aw.

Aw, that's so cute. Maybe they incorporate the bench somehow. Not show the sign, but have them sit on it and let the fans know afterwards. Yes, that was your bench.

? I want it as well.

They are kissing! Although I have to admit that I don't really get why they're not standing side-by-side, but rather Oliver and Felicity are in second row. Every TV and movie double wedding I've ever seen (the only kind I've seen) has the couples standing next to each other. As for the promo, maybe William's getting bullied because he' almost 6 foot tall and wears a Flash backpack. Or, and this I actually is possible, it makes him stand out like the outsider he is. Could one hope GA has fans in SC junior high? I actually like that apparently we'll be getting some insight into young Oliver via Raisa. And apparently, he was the loser I assumed he was. Who does Dinah tackle to the ground? It's a dark haired woman, but I didn't manage to catch anything else. For that matter, I didn't catch KA either, but was greatly pumped to see ME and Alena.

It looks insane, but also has variety, which I like. It's not 3000 of one thing.

That is my biggest complaint about the execution of the 100th after the storyline was decided. I just wished Felicity's appearances in the deam world to be instances of real Felicity managing to find cracks in the aliens' firewall. It would have kept her more active and engaged in that storyline than cracking funny with the B team while a good chunk of her own team was kidnapped by aliens! And having her meet them up on the Waverider.

Aha! I wondered who this person is since I see photos of her with CP and their dogs posted 2 days ago. Presumably also from filming the crossover.

I've been waiting for seemingly forver for CL to post something from the crossover filming and then it's not even her posting? I'm shocked and disappointed.

@TrueMyth, I'm not sure what you mean about surface level emotional value?

There have been indications of Roy coming back. One of them being SA suddenly, after a lifetime it would seem, singling out Arsenal as his favorite sidekick, because Thea will always be his family regardless of Speedy. It seemed loaded to me. ETA: As for Lance's secret, maybe BS saved him and he did her a solid by not telling the team she survived?

It definitely gives legs to the theory about Thea leaving with Roy.
