Seriously, let's keep Anatoly for the rest of the season.

Aww, poor Oliver. Loved that Oliver/Mia stuff.

Thank you for apologizing to William, Anatoly. Certain people clearly never will.

Listen, I like E2 Laurel more than E1 Laurel, but I wouldn't mind if they just left Laurel in Russia and took Anatoly back with them.

The problem is the show has wanted us to forget all the evil this Laurel has done from the moment Cayden said she “hesitated” to kill Vince. But we can’t. We remember her killing when she didn’t need to. I don’t know why the show refuses to acknowledge the full extent of her villainy when it could and still have her be a hero now. (Well, actually I do know: it’s the way the Arrowverse writes every Laurel — without a care, really). I’m really not looking forward to any Laurel/Mia or Dinah/Mia scenes. I preferred the antagonistic Dinah/Mia scenes we got in the FFs in S7. Still wish the Canary Network had been evil. Green Arrow vs. the Canaries could have worked too...

Why can’t they just let E1 LL go already? (Especially since E2 LL is actually part of the Crisis storyline on Arrow this season.) While also repeating that he’s the love of her life. Maybe with a “it’s not your time yet, but you should also stay here with me,” to add to the confusion.

It would depend on how the crossover leaves him. If he disappears and doesn’t return yet ... actually, let’s have him show up anyway so it can be like the scene in this GIF where he had speed when he shouldn’t have based on what was happening on The Flash (right? Or am I remembering incorrectly?).

Yep, but I feel like most of the speeches will ring false like Rene’s in 609.

I’m sure if there’s a funeral for Oliver, they’ll expect us to find it so sad but if Felicity isn’t in the scene, I’m really not going to care about Dinah, Laurel and Rene grieving. (Though I won’t care about their grief either way.)

I want to see this Beebo just to see Diggle’s reaction.

No one will ever love Felicity Smoak as much as Stephen Amell.

“Remember when we inexplicably worked for Diaz when either one of us could have been a Big Bad on our own and crushed him with one hand while he mumbled away?”

Yeah, I think your version would especially be more fitting given what she says to Mia about Oliver in this episode. I honestly doubt she’s going to betray Oliver. Mainly because doing so would probably mean bringing up her past villainous actions and we all know the show is trying to ignore them completely.

Of course it was.

Yep. She could have even just said, “listen, I’m not the biggest fan of your father. We’ll probably never agree on X/get along/etc.” There’s a way to do that politely, especially to his future daughter that he didn’t get to raise (does she know that? I haven’t paid attention to what Laurel does/doesn’t know about this mission).

Ben Lewis is really such a gem, especially on social media.

I don’t think it ever came up? Only time Felicity mentioned either kid’s love life was her comment about not knowing Mia’s type, I think.

LOVED LOVED LOVED all the Smoak-Queen family scenes. William coming out and Oliver telling him he and Felicity knew was perfect. Loved the Mia/Oliver scenes. But really wish we'd at least gotten an off-screen phone call to Felicity. Terrible excuse not to contact her. Also, just reminds me that Felicity spends the next 20 years alone, which I still hate. Do I like E2 LL more than E1? Yes. Do I hate that the show is completely ignoring the fact that she was a villain other than a line here and there, without acknowledging all the people she killed? YES. You shouldn't be able to call someone a dick after everything Laurel's done to Oliver and the others. Seriously, she's tried to kill Oliver and Felicity multiple times, yet we're supposed to be all, yay a Mia/Laurel scene? Nope. Wish we'd gotten a Mia/Diggle scene instead. Liked the Connor/Diggle stuff, but I also wish we'd get Bronze Tiger again. Give me more Ben Turner! Have to admit I rolled my eyes at the last scene. Are we supposed to wonder if Laurel will betray Oliver and then be all "oh my god, such a great hero!" when she doesn't?

Aww, yes, callback to 603! Loved that Oliver/Felicity/William scene.

Serious question: Does the show remember that it was E1 LL who did that whole milkshake thing? STOP PRETENDING DOPPELGANGERS NAMED LAUREL LANCE ARE ALL THE SAME.

To be fair, nothing Felicity knew about Robert was exactly "share with his grandddaughter" type stuff.

"Hey, remember when Laurel killed Vince and Dinah went all crazy? Yeah, neither do we."

Remember when it was so important to not tell the bad guys their names? I know it's not the same thing, but it almost feels like, "We didn't tell anyone about Mia to keep her safe. ... Hey, everyone! This is Mia!"

Shut up, Curtis.

Does Arrow only have enough in its budget this season for Laurel to use her meta-cry every other episode?
