I hope it's just the interviews we've gotten, but it's sounding like Oliver finds out about Diaz, understands that sometimes people have to work with villains because he's made similar decisions in the past, and that's that. Meanwhile, we'll see Curtis be upset about Diaz, and all we've heard about Felicity and Diggle — because Felicity should definitely be pissed off about Diaz, considering Diggle's attitude earlier this season and whole "hope you're still a hero after this" thing — is that they'll resolve their earlier issues (which may or may not be done in a satisfying way), so it doesn't sound like she'll be bothered either? Or they just won't address it?

All I know is that whenever we see Oliver and Felicity in the FFs, I want them to look amazing.

Yeah, I noticed that when I went to rewatch parts of 710 on Amazon Prime since I'd gotten the season pass when it was $3.99 at the beginning of the season.

I'm thinking this, too, but I could see them using something like that to reveal Maya's identity in 716, which would mean that her last name would have to be recognizable. The system could be Smoak Tech-related, but it could also be the foundation of something in the future, maybe even in the Glades, since everything's so nice and shiny there. Or they could use it to reveal Felicity's alive somehow? Maybe the future group come across some lock or whatever and check who was the last person to open it and it says Felicity and it's not something that could've been unopened in the time between her "death" and whenever that is? Or could do the same with Oliver, too.

Something that confused me is I thought that the men Dinah took down in her future intro were SCPD, but didn't Zoe ask Rene to give the SCPD access to the Archer Program in this episode? So who were those men Dinah took down? Security? Or am I misremembering something?

At least we now know Oliver and Laurel’s storylines are separate in the next episode and they’re not going to be trying to somehow tie the two together like I’m sure some fans hoped. Considering how inconsistent the FFs are (seriously, someone tell me if future Dinah likes/liked Oliver and Felicity - I don’t think she even knows), this is still possible even after their interactions in 708. Also, I now suspect 716 will reveal that Rene’s chief of staff has Felicity locked up somewhere and she triggered some alarm to get William to get Roy.

I’m just so mad at Diggle right now. Where’s the John Diggle I knew and loved? Does he remember Oliver and Felicity exist? Had his back all these years?

Such a bad episode. I also zoned out for most of it without realizing I was. The Olicity scenes were sweet, but the episode description lied to me. Oliver didn't "focus on his marriage with Felicity" at all. Diggle just keeps getting worse somehow? I hate what the show's doing to Diggle right now. Every time they say Felicity's dead in the FFs, I believe it less and less. Way too much Rene and Emiko. Don't really care about Emiko at all since I already watched season 1. Uh, I think that's it?

Oh, watch, Diggle's suddenly going to care about Diaz being a threat if Lyla's life is threatened.

Didn't the episode description say Oliver was going to work on his marriage? Lies.

Oh, look, one of Felicity's "friends" doesn't seem to care about her. I'm shocked.

"One of the Canaries." I have to admit, I find that hilarious because it's ridiculous how many Canaries there have been on the show.

More of these two? Seriously?

Way too much screen time for Rene and Emiko in this episode.

This reminds me of all of us in S5 with Oliver.

Curtis just likes to be included in everything, no matter what it is: suiting up, subpoenas, FBI interrogations, etc.

I keep getting whiplash with Dinah. "We can't trust William, he's Oliver's son," "William, blah, blah, blah about Oliver." "Felicity's totally evil, villain, dead," "we promised to keep fighting for each other, Felicity part of it."

Why can't we get Walter back, even just for one episode, and get rid of NTA and Diaz for good?

You've been alone? WTF, Rene. No, you haven't been. Felicity was alone. Not you.

WTF is this future? No, seriously, what is this?

I feel like what Diaz heard is: "Give us Dante, and you can have a chance to kill Oliver, Felicity and William again."

"John, what are you doing?" Lyla's asking what we're ALL wondering.

20 minutes in, I've only liked one scene, and I liked the commercial with the dog driving more than the rest of the episode, TBH.

I was just going to ask that. But don't you know, more Rene and Dinah is more important.

WTF
