Mia's William has to be going through a mindfuck with having memories of his sister when he was thirteen/fourteen. 

 

This pales to what happened on Doctor Who this past Sunday.

There's TOO MUCH DINAH in this episode. Boy, I did NOT miss saying that.

Sweet Thea and Roy scene

How was she tolerable to good last week and back on my last nerve this week?

[mtlchick]

Quentin is ALIVE!  (throws confetti)

[statsgirl]

Quentin! I've missed you!

[tennisgurl]

We only have like twenty minutes left! Do something!

[Lady Calypso]

The biggest issue with how rushed this finale is. Yep, should have been two full hours, if they wanted to have a whole bunch of this stuff.

Could have had Constantine or someone find a way to bring back Spirit Oliver to say goodbye one last time.

Anything, anything other than rushing through a kidnapping plot and very few character moments, coupled with some random Oliver fights.

Getting blasted forward 20 years does wonders for her personality. 

[Primal Slayer]

I really thought we'd see Oliver through flashbacks with almost every character and showcasing how COIE changed and big moments for him....I guess not.

[janeta]

No, from your butt. 😁

[quarks]

"Don't use just your arms."

Oh, Oliver. Trust me. MANY of us just want to see Diggle just using his arms!

[Lantern7]

John Diggle, rehearsing for his Stomp audition . . .

That’s new Dinah who is on track to be awesome. This is before her makeover.

Because, when she was erased from existence and rebooted, she also got a new personality? Maybe Dinah asked for the reboot.

How Charmed of you lol

[statsgirl]

This explanation for why we have E2 Laurel and not E1 Laurel MAKES NO SENSE

[tennisgurl]

I am really glad that they are doing so much with Diggle and Oliver and their friendship at least. Diggle is taking it really freaking hard.

[quarks]

So Oliver saved his mother AND the house? YAY.

[calliope1975]

Is Mia going to have issues because her mother was standing 4 feet away and didn't say a single word to her?

[Lantern7]

You think Thea will start referring to Roy as “Luke”?

[Lady Calypso]

I'm still wondering how all of these saved people fits into Oliver's journey throughout the series. Doesn't this essentially negate every part of Oliver's being if he doesn't lose so many people? 

 

[quarks]

YAY ROY AND THEA YAY

[Primal Slayer]

This is like 2/3 episodes all mushed into 1.

[tennisgurl]

Not to sound like a broken record, but this really needed to be two hours. And I was so hoping for ghost Oliver. 

[Lady Calypso]

Glad for all of these saved people...but I only have one question.

WHERE'S TOMMY? 

[tennisgurl]

Oh my God Quentin!!! Moira and Quentin!

Wait and he brought Tommy back too?!? What is happening?

[Primal Slayer]

Finally some Laurel.

That's what I'm starting to feel.  it's not like they had a few weeks to plan this out. they had more than a YEAR with the slight hitch of Emily deciding to leave. Then you have the pieces that will be eventually answered in the Green Arrow and the Canaries IF it gets that far and by then I'll be struggling to remember. 

 

Bye, bunker.  It's been fun despite your really laxed security system. 

[apinknightmare]

Would she have been on that list tho 

[calliope1975]

At this point I'm hoping for some vidders who will do good work with the footage here to create decent farewell videos. 

[insomniadreams88]

What is this scene? 

[Lantern7]

You think Oliver Spectre’d Moira and Quentin back to life?

Fuck, and he’s still hung up on the doppelgänger. What the hell, Lance?!?

[Lady Calypso]

....did Laurel just mention that Oliver saved Tommy?

Yes. Can we see him now?

And also, LOLOLOLOL at Oliver not saving E1 Laurel.

[Primal Slayer]

....such a lame excuse why E2 Laurel didnt just become a Prime Laurel.

[shantown]

UGHHHHH, LAUREL SUCKSSSSSSSS

I do enjoy that she was ultimately drinking and upset over herself and not Oliver lmao 

[tennisgurl]

So is Oliver stuck as the Specter now? Does everyone get to come back but Oliver and Laurel?

[quarks]

Diggle is going to Metropolis?????

Does this mean he's going to be on the new Clark and Lois show?????

[calliope1975]

So everyone everywhere has memories of different timelines? 

[Lantern7]

“Superman’s New Pal, John Diggle”?!?

That Laurel scene was cringe. 

[statsgirl]

I would watch a spin-off if y'all live posted through it.

[scarynikki12]

There’s a shit ton about her that needs to be fixed Q. No one has said her death count vanished due to Crisis so we can assume it’s in place. And way to not care about your dead daughter.

[Trisha]

I was expecting way more Oliver, at least in the flashbacks. (I’m not counting the long fight scene cause I just don’t care)

[Lady Calypso]

You see, it would have been fun for the show to have Oliver just lurking in the background of every single scene like a ghost.

I'd probably like the finale more if it was a game of Spot The Oliver Queen.

Hahahaha thats so in character I love it. Its not really because she misses Oliver, its all about her!

[lemotomato]

So there's really no explanation for why Oliver didn't bring E1 LL back. Heh.

[shantown]

Diggle to Metropolis? Guesting on the new Superman show?
