Wait, did he say he's been working on this for five years? This? Really?

Guys, young Diaz might be more intimidating than present-day Diaz...

Well, at least this thread should help us get through this episode.

GIVE ME 622 NOW! (Also, NY, why oh why is Arrow pre-empted that week for baseball? Ugh.)

I care so much more about that one photo from filming the season finale - hospital! Oliver's face! - than probably 90% of tonight's episode. (Please let Felicity say something to Curtis at some point if I have to sit through scenes where I'm going "shut up, Curtis," multiple times.)

Nothing about this interests me.

LOL Why am I not surprised? I'm actually amused by how this writer seems to just ignore the trial part of it and goes straight to Oliver/Laurel stuff. No, it can't have anything to do with Oliver being on trial again. They're totally going to revisit Oliver/Laurel moments from season 1. (Waiting for any tweets about a change in Oliver's hairstyle going forward to lead to articles of "flashbacks to Oliver/Laurel from before he got on the boat!") (This is why the show needs to stop throwing a bone to O/L shippers.)

This is the problem - they could say that she's changed. But they haven't on-screen and in my skimming of this interview, KC isn't saying that either? It's like as soon as Cayden said that BS hesitated to kill Vince, that was enough? Never mind everything that she did before that. Or the fact that they never bother explaining why BS doesn't just use her sonic scream on these other villains. It's messy.

Yeah, I feel like they're expecting us to forget everyone she killed at the beginning of the season when she didn't have to? I only skimmed the article, but it would be better if anyone acknowledged those people. On the show, once she killed Vince, he was the only one they focused on and it's like everyone else, including the cops she killed in the premiere, never existed. (RIP poor guard with a family) That being said, I don't think there's a redemption arc coming - not this late in the season - so I guess it doesn't really matter, but still.

I still can't get over Oliver at 0:35 here: Or at 0:54 here: Or the beginning here: Oh, season 1 Olicity. So adorable.

Oh, they are. I took a quick look in there, and it's pretty amusing. I even saw one comment about how her tweet about 609 must've been because of MG or something along those lines. (Didn't read that closely.)

Yeah, it's either to Bamford and Beth Schwartz or to fans reading it and they're just tagged in the tweet. Either way ...

My only reaction to the season finale title: ... Really?

I think I've said this before, but the only way Oliver can have a Van Dyke for longer than an episode is if everyone knows he's the Green Arrow. Because pretty sure he can't go, "Nope, just a coincidence that we're the only two people in all of Star City (and probably everywhere) with this facial hair." So, that's good enough reason to hope that his secret is still a "secret" (meaning that everyone in Star City with a brain should know he's the Green Arrow, but he doesn't out himself/isn't found guilty/etc.) by the end of the season.

Yeah, maybe that suit didn't fit as well as he (and Felicity) thought. It was so tight, it squeezed logic out of him.

LOVE this so much. Look at Oliver!

Forgot to mention this - Felicity and Lance finally talked to each other! It had been so long...

Yep. Pretty sure it's also happening for 622.

It's not airing in NY until Sunday next week (ugh, baseball), and I was actually considering just waiting until Friday when it's online, but that may have gotten me.

That Olicity scene in the police station was everything. "I'm glue, baby" was the best. As I said multiple times in the live thread, bringing back Chase when we're expected to see Diaz, a guy who just waits and waits and doesn't do anything when Oliver's just hanging out right outside the door, as a Big Bad? Stupid. So, so stupid. On the one hand, we didn't have to deal with Lance's "not my daughter is my daughter, sort of, could be, here, read a law book and become a lawyer" nonsense. On the other hand, as soon as Oliver told him he was dosed, he should have done something. Anything. At least Arrow's made it clear BS isn't going to be redeemed? And acknowledged how stupid it was to make Laurel BC? And while I get that Oliver may think he should be going at it alone, he's not being fair to Felicity considering he has to know how much being Overwatch means to her? Did get a laugh out of Rene in a hospital bed in full Wild Dog costume. Wasn't a fan of Diggle in this episode. This isn't my Diggle. I miss my Diggle. And again, why is everyone so scared of Diaz? All he does is stand back, surrounded by cops he's happy to send to their deaths, and sit in a chair.
