No one ever said she couldn't feel emotions. Her problem was reading/responding appropriately to others, which is largely due to her lack of experience with them. Which she showed improvement on by the end of the last episode when she was the one who read Sara's emotions properly of all the Legends and shut down the movie premiere. She needed it to be spelled out to her, and once it was she responded appropriately. And if that job is the only thing you've ever had at the center of your entire life, and the litmus through which you were made to feel like you had some type of value or reason to exist, then yeah, losing that might be a tiny, little bit of a problem. The irony of the same people who blast Ava for having trouble processing the right way to respond to Sara's grief are unwilling to consider Ava's actual emotions or point of view in any way if it's inconvenient is wonderfully ironic, in an unintentional way. I'm a big fan of noir and there was something hilariously Howard Hawks-y about a tall blonde singing very badly. I really find the whole issue of one single line, that was a one-off joke more than anything, being used to hate on a character. I was able to get over the way Oliver responded to Sara's death, making it about himself and his sister, disrespecting her lover, father, sister, and stuffing her body away and acting self-righteous about his choices. I'm sure people will eventually get over Ava having a one-off line that she knew and acknowledged wasn't appropriate. And how do we feel about Nate "he shouldn't have done the crossovers" "glad I didn't do the crossovers" Heyward? Yeah, that's what I thought. lol

Well, except that having trouble relating to emotional issues is part of her torment. Because she recognizes that it's there, but can't do anything about it. In a way, it's a bit like she's a high functioning autistic person, who sometimes needs signs that others wouldn't because she lacks the ability to process things in the way others do. And the fact that she recognizes this about herself means those things all remind her that she's not completely human in the way everyone else is. People mentioning the letter, which wasn't a great look, but I don't know if it's really all about jealousy as much as it's about the problem she has relating and internalizing other people's emotions. Her describing her own performance review, which she did herself, and she knows that trying may make things worse, but not trying also makes things worse, so then which is the lesser evil? She wasn't designed to be able to do any of this, and she's incredibly aware of that fact at times when she knows that what she's doing isn't right, but she doesn't know exactly what the right thing would be. Yes, some things should be obvious to a typical person, but she's not a typical person and things that come easy to others take work for her. I'm not sure how it can be solved except maybe living with the Legends and interacting with them as family more rather than spending time in the structured bureaucratic setting will give her more experience with people and emotions and that way she will learn how to grow and process them. Before that, aside from Sara, all she's had are fake memories that weren't designed for someone who experiences emotions and so probably hurt more than they help. I'm particularly interested in her getting along with Mick, who is oddly enough a really great observer of humanity and she can learn a lot from him. Maybe Sara subconsciously realized that and it's why she wanted them to get along last season, because she probably always wanted Ava to come onto the ship rather than leaving the ship to move in with her.

It might all work out for the best if those rumors of Brandon getting a limited series on HBOMax to play Superman are true. There have been quite a few somewhat reputable accounts posting about it over the past few days to rule it out, no matter how unlikely it would seem considering CW already is doing Superman and Lois.

The writing on the door to the vault where he was locked matched the Book of Destiny. Since it's canon now that Mar Novu is Maltusian, I would say that along with the Tome of the Guardians they mentioned in the Flash episode, I would have to assume that means that the Maltusians will be the Guardians of the Universe from the comics. So they likely would have had the technology both to lock him up and create the book.

I've resigned myself to the probability that it's Mia's room, but Sara saving baby Sara would be amazing. She's wearing the same shirt she was in the bar with Ray, but it almost seems like she knew it was going to happen somehow. So, is this where they start the story about her getting a power?

They recreated the scene where she was dead, so they must revisit her death somehow. They did a pretty good job, but there's more blood in the new one and a noticeable difference in camera quality.

There is supposed to be a big story with Sara getting a superpower that they did a whole cover story on EW about.

I think it really depends on what Sara's power that she will get is and when she gets it. If it's psychic, telepathic, or anything that would be controlled by her mind, then J'onn would be the natural person to help her.

I was completely down with this theory, but now they are saying they have cast Jim Corrigan, so either Oliver's not Spectre the whole time, or it was just misleading to begin with. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/16/crisis-on-infinite-earths-spectre-jim-corrigan-casting-crossover-cw-arrow-stephen-lobo I kind of hope Oliver is involved somehow because to have some random guy they just cast be the most pivotal figure in the whole Crisis, assuming that Spectre has the same general role that he did in the comics, would be kind of a waste. Speaking of random comic book figures,
