Don't get my hopes up. (Though I don't think it necessarily sounds like he'll die?)

Yeah, especially since if you take what we saw of that world at face value, Oliver wasn't in Diggle's life either. So Diggle's perfect life is one where he doesn't have his wife or kid, Oliver hasn't become a brother to him and he's GA with only Felicity on the team? It would've made more sense if Diggle said that the alien world made him realize that part of him always wanted to be GA for "insert somewhat logical reason." And he could have reiterated that reason in this episode to explain why he's so eager to be GA again.

Love this:

I just rewatched a few scenes to see if I could find an answer I might have missed re: Diggle wanting the hood so badly. And all we get is that he wants to be GA again. No reason for it. Pretty sure the only "reason" he's ever given is that he was GA in the alien world, which doesn't make any sense and I always blamed the drugs for that, but that's what he's sticking with? I wish we'd gotten something in the Diggle/Felicity scene that explained why he's so eager to put the hood back on, especially when pretty much everyone's after GA right now: Diaz, police (corrupt and legit), the FBI, etc. It seems like Oliver and Felicity have just accepted that Diggle wants to be GA and haven't bothered to ask why? Or have I forgotten something?

TBH, I hope that title changes? But yeah, please be Anatoly.

I feel like they haven't done a good job selling the victims this season, on-screen or off. The last time we had any quotes from the EPs about them was before/the beginning of the season, when they were still trying to sell the "everyone has a villain!" story. We saw what happened with that. Dragon was set up to be Diggle's villain, but now he's Oliver's because Oliver's the main character/mayor/Green Arrow (though Diggle wants the hood back)/etc. Really, the show did a better job setting up the newbies as OTA's villains when I'm pretty sure that's not what they were going for with this storyline. Even if the EPs said stuff in interviews that we didn't see on-screen, at least we might have an idea where they're coming from? Sort of?

I missed that they were holding hands!

If 615 proved one thing, it's that I'm right to be dreading 619 with Dragon and BS. Please let there be lots of Anatoly to make it bearable.

The good: Olicity, Delicity, OTA + Thea, Oliver + Thea's conversation, Thea suiting up as Speedy, Thea + Roy The "dear god no": Black Siren (Pretending to be LL would've made sense earlier in the season. Or if, you know, a doctor hadn't pronounced her dead and did an autopsy, and her body wasn't in the ground.), Diaz The "I don't get this": Diggle wanting to be GA. I don't think he knows why he wants it. It's stupid. The "let them talk!": Felicity and Thea were standing together at one point when Oliver and Diggle returned to the bunker. Let those two actually have a conversation! One of the EPs (MG?) gave an excuse why they didn't talk in the earlier seasons. (It was lame.) There is zero excuse now.

"My father's asleep." Not your father. And only Oliver's there so who are you acting for? STOP WITH THIS NONSENSE.

Imagine. BS poses as Laurel. And she's arrested for being BC. "Wait, what? But I was trying to avoid being arrested!"

So, what's Diaz going to say to the legitimate cops that show up? Try to buy them off? Claim to be a citizen just going for a walk? I'm so confused why he just stood there.

That should be what we see from OTA every time NTA shows up. "No, we don't trust you."

Stop with the "daddy."

Give me more Olicity. Take advantage of their chemistry!

I'm still not seeing Diaz as a "Big Bad" type.

Is Dinah the only person in SCPD not working for Diaz? Is that really what we're left with?

I don't think Diggle does either?

"There was an autopsy." ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS CONVERSATION?

"We're taking Rene off the witness list because all he'll say is, 'this doesn't change anything, hoss.'"

Poor Oliver, can't just snap her neck to "keep his secret."

You know, she looks pretty good for being "drugged" for two years...

This is the Lance I like. I've missed him.

I'd actually love to see someone looking over their photos and going, "hmm, he doesn't look happy to see her. And she looks a bit villainous in this one...."

Exactly. Even if the conversation is as short as: Someone: "Well, there is Laurel's body - " Someone else: "No, because somewhat valid reason."
