Hey! I was kind of right! The kids are the lesson! 

[calliope1975]

And here's my Dad!Oliver! Finally. 

[scarynikki12]

Was Jamey Sheridan not available for any father-son scenes with Oliver? Cause they’re leaning into Quentin as father figure pretty hard. 

[statsgirl]

Why is the Monitor trying to make Oliver weaker?

I think he's just trying to stop Oliver from trying to stop the Crisis. Ooop never mind - I was giving this show too much credit.

"There is an evil coming that is greater than anything we've had to face" .... the end of the show.

[calliope1975]

There were 1000 other ways they could have brought Quentin back.

Isn't that his job?

[quarks]

Sorry, Oliver. The one thing no superhero can defeat is the combined forces of WB and AT&T, not to mention your actor!

"There is an evil coming that is greater than anything we've ever had to face, so, BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO THE CW IN DECEMBER, KIDS!"

[scarynikki12]

The show did a really great job building up Lyla so that all of this is fully in character.

Guess not

[statsgirl]

Oh thank goodness, Mia and Co. are there too!

[quarks]

Of COURSE they're back on Evil Island again. OF COURSE. 

[scarynikki12]

New voiceover. 

They need to build a weapon? 

[statsgirl]

I like the voiceover. It's a wrap-up of how he got here.

[quarks]

These Xmas cookies are already improving my viewing experience 🙂

(I think)

[apinknightmare]

The Monitor is such a time waster. If this weapon is so important, why do they have to build it! Some god

[statsgirl]

Why can't he build the weapon himself? I thought he was all powerful

[Primal Slayer]

The entire fate of the Multiverse lies within Earth 1...go figure 

[bettername2come]

The first time I've disliked Lyla calling John "Johnny." You been lying all over the place, don't use your adorable nicknames now.

[scarynikki12]

Yes, everyone, Chase blew up the island just a couple of years ago. Yet you’ve all forgotten some of those details. 

[quarks]

Is this Fyer's old tent from season 1?  If so, why didn't it get blown up when Chase blew everything up?

It's #1 for a reason!

[statsgirl]

Again with 'special appearance by Katie Cassidy'. I thought she was a regular this season.

[Lantern7]

Okay. Beginning of the end. Prologue to the end?

[Primal Slayer]

So many moments in this show

[quarks]

Trying to save the multiverse isn't giving up, Mia!

[scarynikki12]

Oh good Bamboozle directed this too. 

[quarks]

Ok, so why didn't you ASK for details, Lyla? 

[Primal Slayer]

With Lyla being Harbinger....does she not have ANY powers besides popping up wherever?

[apinknightmare]

He, like Oliver's fate, is inevitable.

I think it’s contract stuff similar to actors getting “and” or “with”. 

[Primal Slayer]

I dont like Lyla having been Harbinger for such a short time but whatever

[quarks]

Well, I am surprised that Black Canary knows how to fly!

[scarynikki12]

Jen does have a point at how similar Oliver and Lyla are. They’ve both accepted what’s coming. 

[Lantern7]

"See, Johnny, my name is Lyla, and Lyla was the name of Monitor's main helper in canon, so . . . my hands were tied."

[calliope1975]

Nope. I don't believe BC knows how to fly. Uh uh. Not suspending my disbelief on this one. 

[scarynikki12]

Way back in time comics Dinah Drake once had a call that brought a bunch of canaries to transport her around. Legit sad they didn’t go that way. 

[Primal Slayer]

Yeah....they all should've tilted their heads up just a tad bit more

[quarks]

Given the number of times people on Lian Yu have tried to shoot down planes, I feel Dinah should have expected that.

Or, well, Oliver should and should have told her.

Imagine the mess if they'd shot that out of the sky with a missile!

I'm behind, so I thought you and @quarks meant she was flying-flying.

[KittenPokerCheater]

I am so tired of the word Crisis. "If I hear crisis one more time, I'm going to have to learn to spell it!"*

Also, what's up with the audio?  Post production peeps, you're slipping.

*vauge, TVD half joke

[Lantern7]

"INCOMING! Rene! Shoot the missile! SHOOT!" "I left my mask with customs!!"

[quarks]

You should also probably warn them about the land mines, Oliver!

[apinknightmare]

"Someone needs to protect William" and his reaction got a legit laugh out of me.

[scarynikki12]

“Someone needs to protect William” hee

[Trisha]

Oh god, another Oliver and Laurel team up...

[quarks]

It's an Arrow miracle! Not Laurel and I agree on something - we're not fans of this island!

Not if there is a chance Dinah and Rene could step on one.
