The problem is they that they way overaged everyone, nobody except maybe Felicity looked much under 70.

This is the part I really don't get; the show has employed many people around the appropiate ages. How did they not notice that they didn't look 80? I feel like everyone over the age of 40 who's ever been on the show should be insulted. I know it's more complicated because these actors are younger but surely there has to be a medium somehwhere between 20s or 30s and not a day under 75?

I don't think it was ever completely true but it's especially ridiculous when the last few minutes of the finale are the most recent example of Oliver Queen. Stoic and unemotional that was not. Honestly, I don't even get the memes because by the time Barry and especially Kara existed in the Arrowverse, the unemotional Oliver was largely gone. It just feels like another unnecessary way to shit on Oliver/SA.

About the first If I remember correctly, Liv's mom was some sort of adminstrator at the hospital so Liv may have thought she'd find out that Liv didn't have whatever too easily. Although, I'd still think that would have been a better risk than what amounted to "nope, don't want to."

I do think it's entirely possible they already filmed anything they'd need for season 8 since it probably wouldn't be more than few scenes in the finale. I want to see the reunion (and would love a rewritten future where Oliver's daughter acually gets to remember him/Olicity get to grow old together) but all things considered, I am satisfied with the ending we got and can understand Emily not wanting to possibly damage that by coming back for something that could easily be subpar.

I assumed she wouldn't have known for sure whether they were looking or not and I do think they'd have still been in danger in SC even if if the Circle wasn't actively pursuing them otherwise. I feel like we're still missing something with the William situation because Oliver and Felicity were trying to contact him after he left but he insisted he never heard from them again so I have hard time finding reasons for anything involving him after Star City Slayer.

There are many problems with the threat of the Ninth Circle (starting with: willingly made a whiny idiot obsessed with her dead father their leader) but I could easily believe they never actually really looked for Felicity and Mia. They were way over Emiko's crazy pants vendetta and there wouldn't have been much profit in it especially after Oliver 'died.' If they'd stayed in SC, the Circle probably would have targeted them but searching them out in a place where they were surrounded by former government agents might have been too much effort for them.

This doesn't really matter but are FF Dinah and Roy hanging out somewhere waiting for Felicity to catch up? Because she tells them she will before leaving with William and Mia and then leaves the planet instead. I mean, I know Dinah would probably wait about 20 minutes before writing Felicity off as evil and/or dead and moving on but still...Of course, the three of them going into hiding together seems like a brick stupid plan so maybe it's for the best.

I don't necessarily believe he realized that early either but I could actually see him doing this. It wouldn't have been coming from the same douchey place anymore but Oliver could be really stupid and I could see him deciding that he couldn't pursue Felicity because of the danger but Sara could protect herself and was also in love with someone else so Sara wouldn't get hurt. Of course, I still believe he was with Susan 95% because he thought Felicity wasn't an option, first because of Billy and then because he'd killed Billy so...

That was my first thought too but I don't think Ravi can get memories from brains if he's not on his "monthlies" which he didn't seem to be. I don't think it's ever been all that clear, I'm guessing they do since Major told Michael to wait a few years before joining FG but I don't know if it really makes sense for them to. I've never been sure if zombies are actually dead, I know Liv and most of the world view it that way but I'd swear early on Ravi said she had a pulse, it was just nearly undetectable.

The Mark of Four thing was weird, I can't remember if everyone actually had the tattoo either but I'd swear they said Oliver designed the symbol. It doesn't seem likely he'll have time to pop back to SC for tattoo design (and if he does that rather than visiting his family my rage will know no bounds) so did he design it before leaving town and they just didn't show it? They put so much emphasis on it early on and then it just kind of fizzled out

Random thought: Oliver and Felicity can't but The Monitor can leave wherever he's taking Felicity, right? Because if not, things could get real awkward, real fast.

I do agree with this, especially in an episode that had Oliver explaining what Palmer Tech was (possibly to Felicity!) a little less vagueness wouldn't have hurt

I like her but I'm not sure Lindsay Macdonald pays enough attention to the show to be writing articles about it, in an earlier spec post she theorized Felicity couldn't fake her death and go into hiding because she'd already done that. You know, that excellent plan where she murdered the witnesses and hid herself in a secret prison room in Galaxy One headquarters or as we know it, that time when Galaxy One faked her death and kidnapped her.

Probably but I don't really see how Smoak is much better in that case. Surely the centuries old evil organization is bright enough to figure out that the skilled archer of appropriate age who shares Oliver's wife's last name might be his daughter (okay, maybe not, since overgrown, petulant teen with an obsession with hurting her dead father=A+ leader material in their world.)

One thing that bothers me, if Oliver dies in a few months, why was William on about Olicity abandoning him? Yes, there's still months where them not contacting him makes zero sense but unless Felicity adopted him and we were never told, she wouldn't really have a lot of standing against his grandparents and Oliver is dead. Also, why is Mia's last name Smoak? Oliver apparently died a hero and she was raised completely in hiding, why couldn't she be a Queen?

No, after the birth we only saw Felicity in the montage.

I loved the last 15 minutes or so and I liked Bronze Tiger but so much of the actual story didn't work for me because I give no fucks about Emiko or her redemption/death. Three minutes of not actively trying to murder her brother, his family and the entire city doesn't make her death tragic.

The Monitor take FF Felicity through a portal after she says she's been waiting years to see him so presumedly.

All the tears

Okay, the OTA scene got me. Partially because I'm pretty sure they were all actually crying.

Look, you nutjob, your brother suffered for most of those years too! Lian Yu wasn't a tropical paradise.

it's on tonight, today is Monday

The blood in the car was corn syrup but there was actual blood at the scene.

I agree and it would so out of character for either of them to be okay with it. Unless Bloomfield is close to SC and he actually goes home every night/most nights until whatever happens to him happens and we just don't see it, I can't see it working. Felicity was raised by a single mom and it's always been fairly clear she doesn't want that for herself/her children, it' always been a possibility because of their lifestyle but raising your child alone because your spouse can't be there is very different than doing it because he's run off to try to save the land of the ungrateful asshat for the umpteenth time.
