I don't know why you'd purposely make Dinah look like she drew on her eyebrows in the dark, but it's like that in two panels, so here we are.

To hear her talk about the situation, I wonder if her agent suggested negotiating for a big paycheck for the reshoots and she refused it because she, unlike Mark Wahlberg, isn't a complete shitbird.

I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be her or not - I thought she wore gloves? That person has a jacket on with a zipper at the cuff. It's also weird to have a Spartan locker being opened up with no Spartan in sight (unless i missed him too).

Is Dinah in that promo? Did I miss her?

The extended extended cut features Rene and Curtis wandering off on their own.

Well, sure - I'd say he definitely knows the extent of Stephen, Grant and Melissa's contracts, and maybe a couple more off the top of his head. If he knew others for sure it seems like wouldn't have said, "I do believe..." But he mentions "some members of the cast" - which I would assume spans beyond Stephen, and seems like a generic brushing off of the question because contract negotiations aren't the reason Arrow hasn't been renewed yet like it seems the question asker was insinuating. But who knows.

He made a comment a year or two ago that he was contracted until the middle of the next US president's term, so he's contracted for a full 7. I don't think the contract comment is anything worth analyzing - I'm not sure if there's a transcript floating around with the actual question Pedowitz was asked, but if he was asked specifically about Arrow's contract negotiations, it seems like a fairly broad response since he probably doesn't know who is or isn't signed for however many years right off the top of his head and probably wouldn't care to comment on it if he did.

Felicity was in his text history.

It really bothers me when comic characters don’t have irises. WHERE ARE THEY?

Thea already talked to Oliver about how trying to see it from Rene's perspective and finding a way to forgive him is the right thing to do - she doesn't seem too mad about it.

William also needs to find out that Oliver's been lying to him and going out as Green Arrow - no better way to reveal that than to have Oliver rescue him in the hood.

It could be that Oliver doesn't want their help - the way it's written it could be that he's determined to do it without them because he doesn't want any help, or because they're off doing something else. I'm guessing Team Arrow and the Newbies may have two different tactics that wind up messing each other up - and that's where the "divided we fall" comes from?

It's possible that William gets caught up in it by virtue of being in the wrong place at the wrong time instead of directly targeted (based on the way the summary is written). I'm hoping it goes that way at least.

I'd rather see an unrealistic, Gumby-like feat of strength than either one of them being physically abusive to the other. How gross.

Go go gadget arms!

That role seems to be right in KC's wheelhouse.

And her knee appears to be made out of lava. Yep. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me.

Yeah, nothing about this makes sense - that Curtis and Dinah are dumb enough to form a mini team with him knowing that Watson knows he's Wild Dog, and that he's already provided info to her - I get maybe still trusting him as a friend...Dinah wasn't around when he outed Oliver to Church and Curtis wasn't super friendly with him OR Oliver back then so I could buy them maybe not caring, but not caring about this makes zero sense. I mean, even if they ultimately decided that they wanted to still suit up/still suit up with Rene there should've at least been some verbalized hesitation about it.

Rene: “To me selling you out whenever I’m physically threatened or someone offers me something I want.” Curtis and Dinah: ::clink::

Dick Dragon is going to 3-D print Star City TO DEATH.

I like that there are three separate mentions of it being fully heated.

If I were on that team, I wouldn't want Rene back on it. This is the second time he's sold Oliver out. I think Oliver was right to give him a second chance after he got tortured by Tobias Church, but now that he's rolled over for the FBI? I wouldn't be giving this dude any more chances, although I'm sure they will.

The write-up doesn't make a whole lot of sense - people can "upload" themselves into their preferred afterlives - Nathan has Nora in his version, but has to get used to life away from his loved ones? Why aren't they there in his preferred afterlife? And why is a person who is still alive actively working in someone else's afterlife? You'd think it'd be some fake/clone/fantasized version of the person so they keep on living in their own world? Mess.

Nope

The most I’ve gathered from anything that’s happened since Watson started investigating him is that he’s irritated and fighting it because he doesn’t want to leave William without his only remaining parent, not because he’s innocent.
