This season's episode descriptions are like Mad Libs. Have any of them actually been accurate?

It has no relation to the Star City 2046 episode and I don't think it's ever been made clear how/if it relates to the future Zari comes from.

I feel like this is a point towards it being Oliver. I mean, this is next-level tragic but the boy's hair has had some fairly tragic periods. It's kind of always wavered between pretty good and "ew, no, why?" But tragic hair seems to be par for the course in future SC, see whatever died on Rene's head so maybe not.

I think part of the reason the "That one is on me" thing confused people is that the "Felicity created Archer" reveal isn't really a reveal, we all pretty much figured that so the actual reveal feels anticlimatic so people were reading other stuff into it. I'm both annoyed and somewhat what impressed by their ability to set an entire episode in the future while still giving us no clue what happened to Oliver. I definitely think Roy either has bloodlust or has somehow been re-Mirakurued but it seemed more like bloodlust. It's nice to know Rene can always be counted on to betray everyone, I guess some things never change.

Greenarrowtv.com says the pic is Dinah, Rene and William. The Glades may not be a dangerous dumpster-fire but it doesn't actually seem like a great place either

How the fuck have characters who've existed since season 5 (mid-season 5 in Dinah's case) existed for the same amount of time as characters who've existed since season 1? Dear comicbook.com, Seven years and two years are very different things. Also, NTA are hated because they suck, not just because they're new.

I just can't imagine anyone thinking a spin-off based on this bleak-ass future is a viable option. Dystopian futures are a totally viable thing (not so much for me personally but in general) but you generally haven't the watched previous generation work for years to save the city in question and be excited for the birth of the child whose life is going to suck. William was kidnapped multiple times before his father's identity was known so Mia having an edge due to growing up as the daughter of the acknowledged Green Arrow would be completely believable.

But I think until the rest of the team was involved, he was largely allowed to act as he always had, just as part of the SCPD whereas here they were basically being forced to be regular officers. Why the bitchy mayor, whose major issue seems to be Oliver himself, would have allowed the former for so long is another story and doesn't make much sense but what power the SC mayor has at any given time seems to vary.

I don't really get it either, wasn't part of his mayoral campaign returning it to the city he remembered from childhood? I mean, all things considered, there was probably always a cesspool under the surface but it's always been implied Starling City was, outwardly at least, a fairly pleasant, safe place until Malcolm went bonkers. I agree The Glades were never great but otherwise, it was fine. Also, Oliver, you've been trying to make SC a safer, better place for at least six years and all you've really gotten for it is blamed and kicked in the teeth. If you want a better place for your children, take them and get out of Dodge! Go to back Ivy Town, your neighbors are really annoying but it's the only place you or your wife have lived in seven years to not be invaded by gun/weapon-toting maniacs.

And, as much as I don't love it either, at the end of the day Moira was Oliver's mother who was violently murdered before his eyes in a situation I'm sure he still somewhat blames himself for. I can see Felicity setting aside her feelings about Moira for his sake and naming her daughter in a way that honors her but isn't actually calling/naming her child Moira Queen. I'm also not sure Felicity and Moira ever truly knew each other, everything Felicity knew about Moira was filtered through having spent months investigating her for Walter and then Oliver and Moira simply saw Felicity as someone standing against her but so much of what drives/drove both of them was love for Oliver and a willingness to go to the mat for him that I think they could have found a middle ground by now.

I get the worry over what Mia being a secret means for Emily/Felicity in the immediate future but at this point it would seem more vital to send Oliver out of town to keep Mia secret because he was about two minutes from running around SC yelling "We're having a baby!" I actually don't understand anything about how Mia and Felicity were somehow in hiding/not in SC but Felicity launched her company there. Even supposing she's gone for years and Mia stays elsewhere until shortly before the FF, becoming a CEO in the city that your husband was/is infamous in and where being a CEO would put a target on you in addition to the one being Oliver Queen's wife or widow put on you seems like a terrible plan.

I don't think anything Oliver has worn this season has had anything to do with what the fashion is. They do seem short but I think it's just more proof that prison somehow cost Oliver the ability to dress himself non-stupidly.

You're not wrong but at the same time there's never been any indication that any previous Arrow/Green Arrow captures have gone free because of similiar methods so I can sort of see it just not occurring to him that it might not fly in an official capacity.

I loved this. The SCPD stuff was stupid and annoying but the characters thouht so too so it worked. I love that Diggle is fully back. I'm not sure how I feel about Mia being even sort of named after Moira both because she and Felicity didn't like each other (although I think this might have changed, at least on Moira's end, had she lived to see Oliver and Felicity together) and it seems like an iffy choice while trying to bond with the sister she encouraged/forced your father to abandon.

I'm really close and I never cry at tv or movies. I think next week is going to kill us.

But even supposing Oliver and Emiko die, Mia wouldn't be the last vestige of the Queen family bloodline because William is still alive and if Oliver dies in COIE, Mia should already be born/any decisions about who knows about her existence already made. Also, if the Ninth Circle is after Mia, taking her to/raising her in Star City and giving her the last name Felicity still uses would seem way stupider than Felicity's ever been.

Is it bad that I sort of like SCPD shirts because while stupid, it's still a marked improvement from Oliver's current "my wardrobe was replaced by that of a middle-aged professor with no taste" look?

I'm okay with the show ending but I'm now very afraid that Oliver dies in COIE and that's it. I would hate that. Even beyond wanting Olicity to get a happy ending, I want Oliver to get a better ending than sacrificing everything for years only to die young, leaving behind his wife, son and newborn daughter while his city still ends up destroyed. That's a terrible ending.

And wasn't the tech GPS coordinates to the buried Arrow gear? Which presumably doesn't exist yet since it contained the 'Mark of Four" and Oliver's still using it. Nothing about this makes a lick of sense.

Yeah, here it felt more like a Donna/Felicity situation where they love each other and are just very different people than the "my parents suck" impression I got before.

Dig found his old personality, yay! I loved the Olicity scenes. I also really liked the Laurel/Felicity scenes, I still wish they'd done more actual redemption but the scenes work. Dante is already 20 times more compelling than Diaz ever was (this might just be my love for Adrian Paul talking) Can we get whoever roasted Diaz a medal? I like the Mia and William relationship but the future remains stupid and confusing.

I need BS to stop being one of the most likeable people on this show. It's disconcerting.

John Diggle in seasons 1-5: ARGUS is shady and I don't trust them, even if my wife is in charge John Diggle in seasons 6 and 7: Oliver decided not to let me use his secret identity, must stick head up ARGUS' butt while bringing even more shadiness to the table. Seriously, who is this guy?

Maybe they tell everybody else that Mia is Donna's daughter? That still wouldn't explain no one noticing Felicity was pregnant and would seem kind of pointless if Olicity/Felicity still raise her but it would maybe explain how being a Smoak instead of a Queen somehow protects her.

Clearly it all ended up in The Glades. I realize being a vigilante in city going to hell would a be harsh life but lighten up, hair and makeup people! Have they never seen people in their (I'm assuming) at most mid-fifties?
