A lot of these qualities can also be said to be Oliver's qualities when he first started out. Nobody starts off as a full-fledged superhero. They grow into it and earn the title. I don't see why Mia is expected to be a flawless, full-fledged hero from the start. I'm here for the journey.

I think Felicity built a supercomputer at the age of 7, way more complex than a normal computer. We don't know when Felicity built her first computer. My money's on 2.5 years old.

I think in the comics, Barry didn't tell Iris that he was the flash until their wedding night, so it might be more of a comics thing.

Just want to add...recent studies have found that the brain matures in their 30s which could also explain why some adults act like teenagers well out of their teens.

It really bothers me that when Felicity decides to protect and defend herself and her family, the implication is that she is a completely different person now. When Oliver decided to not kill when he used to, no one said that he is a completely different person. When Diggle killed his brother, no one said that he was a completely different person. Dinah went on a murder rampage, and becomes a vigilante, goes on a rampage, and goes anti-vigilante. No one says that she is a completely different person. They changed because of circumstance. This completely different person thing only applies to Felicity. Felicity adapted to her circumstance - there's nothing wrong with that.

One of my classmates was 12 when he started high school. He is super brilliant. He attended all four years of high school, graduated at 16, and went on to go to Stanford to get his PhD...so it can happen.

I think it would make more sense if it turns out to be Chase all along - he and Talia had found a second Lazarus Pit back in S5, put his suicide as part of his plan to throw off Team Arrow, manipulated the team of the villains the whole time, and in the end, reveal that he really was always 10 steps ahead of everyone. It would explain why he had intel all along if he was connected to Cayden James and manipulated him the whole time and it would explain why Black Siren was willing to work with the other villains. Honestly though, it's just a way to get Josh Segarra back for another gotcha and I hated Ra's.

For me, it wasn't returning the gift in itself that was bad - it was the combination of returning the gift and bitter sentiment Iris had that put me off. Because of this scene and how she didn't tell Felicity she had issues with her, Iris comes across as one of those people who smiles to your face and hates you behind your back. If they are still friends, I wouldn't know if Iris was a real friend or just one that pretends to be. I think Felicity deserves a real friend who is upfront with her.

I think that if they wanted to do a sorta spinoff but keeping the same name (similar to what happened with OUAT), I could see a sustainable show if they shifted focus onto Roy becoming the Red Arrow. We've seen his origin story start in season one of Arrow and having the show continue with the Green Arrow's successor would make a lot of sense - Green Arrow's story would still be his own and at the same time, Roy's story would also honor Oliver's story because he was his mentor. Roy would keep the Green Arrow audience since he's been around since the beginning. Say if Arrow lasted 13 years like Supernatural, that would leave just as much time for Red Arrow's journey as Oliver's - the show could still be called Arrow because it is still centered around the Arrow superhero name. They could even show flashbacks to when Roy wasn't on Arrow to fill in the gaps. The show would just shift focus to Roy and Thea and their new team in a different city - drop some mentions every so often about the star city team, but it would be a new beginning, but with core characters that we know and love. I would totally watch that.

"I think I jinxed it.." - cute.

You have a good memory - I think it was a guy named Lodai from Bludhaven. Diggle bought trick arrows from him and asked him to make a vigilante suit.

oh, I think B-team will eventually come back - I think it's inevitable, sadly. anymore was the wrong choice of words (I think my wishful thinking coming through). I don't know about the timing of when Diggle gets a new suit. If Diggle wants an upgrade when Curtis isn't on the team at the time, then I think it would make sense that Cisco would make it.

...maybe because by the time Diggle gets a new suit, Curtis isn't on the team anymore?

Right or wrong, I would have expected Iris to understand since she went through the exact same thing - maybe a little empathy.

I'm disappointed in Iris for the shade she was throwing at olicity today. I think it's hypocritical of Iris to be bitter about olicity interrupting the end of her impromptu wedding, when she disrupted the end of someone's funeral procession for the same reason just a few episodes ago. I'd think that out of everyone, she would understand.

Yeah, my reaction was: Ugh, gross...

So was SA's tease about dessert by the end of the year actually cake then?

Yeah, I think a lot of it is because comics - the nazi world, the nazis wearing our superhero faces... From the reviews/comments about the story, the original comic seems to question what happens when a superhero is raised in an evil world - would he still become a superhero because he is a hero at his core or not - and the answer was no, he would not be a hero and meet a terrible end.

I never read the original comics, but I think it's very possible that this is dialogue in the show because when I looked into people's reactions about the original comics about Overman (basically evil Superman instead of evil Oliver), I stumbled on someone mentioning that Overman said in comics: "I'm not ashamed of anything. That happened decades ago, before I was born. My family had good reasons for everything it did" which sounds a lot like what dark Oliver's POV might be to justify the world they live in.

It would be difficult to draw the line of what is owned by a company and what is yours if you are a salaried researcher. If you use any resources (ie. same suppliers that the company uses or company computer or lab room - even with your own supplies on your own time - or looked something up on company wifi) or applied any knowledge you may have gained from work to develop your patent, then the company will have grounds to claim it. The intellectual property clauses I have seen is basically if you develop something in the same area you work in, it is owned by the company, even if you came up with it at home - assuming he was salaried, this would most likely be true for Curtis because his job was research and development which is very broad and gives the company a valid claim to say that anything he comes up with would be theirs because he isn't paid on time, but effort and output. Some companies also make you sign a non-compete clause which would prevent you from using anything you learned from that company for a certain amount of time. If you modify a patent that you developed for them that would make it different enough to pass, I think the company can still claim that you violated their non-compete clause by using the knowledge gained when working there to modify/develop a similar patent for your own use now.

Yeah, I think you're right. In 6x04 when Alena came to ask Felicity for help, Felicity asked her at what point did Cayden James become bad and Alena responded with something like: "I don't know, at some point during his 8 months in Argus custody" and continued on about him being in a shipping container and how they broke him by withholding nutrition and sensory deprivation.

I wonder if Felicity will end up using 3D printing to help Diggle repair his nerve damage. It looks like there's been studies that have tested 3D printing to aid nerve regeneration: https://3dprint.com/96504/3d-print-silicone-guide-nerve/ https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/repairing-nerve-pathways-3-d-printing

Yeah, the layers would need to be encased for time-release. I think when the first 3D-printed drug was approved by the FDA a couple of years ago, it was a big deal because this meant that they are one step closer towards streamlining an efficient process that would allow people to customize dosages and drug combinations specifically for each patient.

A 3D printer would allow for customized concentrations/dosages in layers of meds, so if you think about it, it would actually be pretty smart for a drug dealer to apply this to street drugs. Theoretically, he could develop a kind of drug that uses multiple layers of different drugs that would dissolve at different rates when taken - you could have an everlasting gobstopper of drugs for a continually changing high.
