Here's a look at Chico in her office as she sent that tweet: ☹️

Well, if they're going to lose to someone, Jake and Amy would be my choice.

It seems like you have to pay $625 for a VIP ticket for that ~pleasure.

The end of the last line looks like it reads, "a new kind of suit up"?

Yeah, some of the language and attitudes used to express discontent with the pregnancy storyline is pretty gross, but not surprising. I don't really get the point of spending your time getting worked up over a show that you quit watching, LOL. What a sad waste of the day! But miserable people enjoy misery, so.

I just rewatched the scene with Dinah, Roy and Connor - she didn't call him JJ, she just said, "You're Connor Hawke, John Diggle's son." Was there another scene where she referred to him as JJ?

I mean, that's the flat-out stated reason in show post-mortems, that being a Queen puts a target on her back and that's why she uses Smoak. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'm guessing it's possible that Felicity gets a pass by a) not actually being a vigilante as far as the public knows and b) doing something with Smoak Tech that has a great positive impact on the city that makes her heroic to them.

Yeah, this makes sense. That way he can remain connected to Diggle without having the Diggle name, which I'm guessing is trash in Star City along with Queen. What did y'all do!

Did Barry disappear another Diggle kid?

I also think that once the team stops operating out of SCPD and goes back to the lair, she'll be more involved with team storylines. I thought they were just being sloppy and exclusionary (because...well, it's Arrow), but given that Mia goes by Smoak instead of Queen in the future because it's "safer," seems like the writers intentionally excluded Felicity from Law & Order: Star City and didn't connect her to any public vigilante stuff because of whatever they're doing in the future.

I don't like Barry but I'mma need some Allen—I don't care which one—to do what they do best and c'mon and discombobulate part of this timeline. Thanks.

I really hope the flash forwards aren't fixed. Normally I would be against it, because I think huge curveballs like that are a waste of the audience's time and makes it harder to get invested knowing that things can be rewritten and changed so easily. I could not be more in favor of it here - every facet of this future absolutely sucks.

I don't know - Dinah's still one of a million Black Canaries in the future, and having the meta cry isn't a prerequisite for the position given that the two before her didn't have that power either. Then again Laurel taking over the mantle without any real reason to would be par for the course for this show, so...maybe they both keep the name and this is the beginning of the Canary Network, LOL.

Since we just had this episode with Oliver and Felicity agonizing about sending William to live with his grandparents, and Oliver's whole reasoning for supporting it, it would be a total waste not to show Felicity telling him. Finding out you're going to have a new baby when you just sent another child away because you couldn't give him a normal childhood? It would be so bittersweet. So...I will expect to not see it, haha.

I'm wondering if Dinah didn't know Mia is Oliver and Felicity's kid, or if she just didn't say anything because she knew William didn't know (which, still...HOW)? And it took her a while to realize that Connor was Digg's kid. She seems to be real on top of those Mark of 4 vows.

I highly doubt their estranged relationship is over forgotten birthdays.

Oh, I bet you're desperately hoping she does, LOL.

Well, at least Felicity knows never to forget a birthday cake for Mia so she doesn't accidentally get killed because of a tantrum.

Yeah - she can still talk. How amazing that Stanley was able to do precisely enough damage to ruin the thing that two people on this show can do! I'm not even sure what the point of her losing her cry would be - she's still the Black Canary in the future, and having that stupid sonic blast isn't a requirement to wear the suit. The two iterations before her didn't have it either.

There could be flashbacks to the last time she saw them both - which for Felicity was definitely recent, and Oliver maybe or maybe not.

Yeah, that could be. It also helps that she's the one with the job that doesn't have to be publicized since she doesn't go out in the field with them the majority of the time.

Oh, that's right. I forgot after that phone call, LOL.

I have a lot of things on my mind right now but did we ever find out why William got expelled?

My ears perked right on up
