Seriously, does your sister perhaps have a NAME?

Right? You only care about two people in the world - Adrian and SISTER. C'mon girl.

[Primal Slayer]

Lyla would've made such a good stand in for Huntress if we got a Birds of Prey spin off.

[quarks]

No, Oliver, you DON'T have to believe him! By this point, you should have learned that skepticism is always valid on these shows!

Fun fact . . . if you say Sara's name three times into a mirror, she bursts through it and beats up everyone in sight. And then Mick Rory comes through and steals all your shit.

Ahhh Oliver crying about his family I can't take it

[quarks]

To be fair, Oliver, their sacrifices might also end up fueling DVD and Blu-ray sales! That's not exactly nothing!

[Primal Slayer]

Can Oliver/Felicity not phone one another? We dont need to hear her voice for it to happen.

[insomniadreams88]

I like Charlie Barnett, I do, but I don't really care about Connor/JJ.

[scarynikki12]

Speaking of Bronze Kitten where is that sexy Bronze Tiger? 

[JamieLynn832002]

I know WHY it's not happening but it doesn't make sense story wise that no one is calling Felicity to talk Oliver off the ledge.

[Trisha]

This is a very tear-y speech episode!

Man, I like the actress who plays Lyla. She seems so much older than everyone else even though she isn’t - she just has this understated gravitas that no one else on the show really nails.

Isn't he dead in the future so that Diggle and Lyla adopt Connor?

Maybe he's a COIE casualty.

Yes! Totally in charge badass.

I mean now. Dig hasn’t adopted Connor yet.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. They could even have Oliver off-screen and Diggle mention to Tatsu that he's on the phone with Felicity (or vice versa).

"I'm here. I care." "You barely even know me." Yeah, this is weird. Feels like they needed something to do with these two characters.

I'm kinda surprised that they aren't using Juliana Harkavy here, to be honest. Not that Dinah and Not Laurel have what could be called a strong connection, but the characters at least know each other.

Do they even plan on resolving that cliffhanger of a storyline? How he dies...when they adopt his son...

Oh come on, none of that is important at all!

I know EBR didnt want to come back but I think she'd probably do some voice over work for a phone call....surely...

I always love it when it rains yet no one gets wet.

[scarynikki12]

I love that China White outlasted so many other villains. 

[statsgirl]

I'm expecting Bronze Tiger to show up just in time for the crossover fight scenes.

[quarks]

Ok, that Katana shot was COOL.

☹️ Why didn’t she want to come back? Is she working on something else?

I think this is going to hang over this entire season whenever Oliver is on E1. It makes no sense he doesn’t make contact with his wife - especially since Dig immediately contacted his when they got back.

[Primal Slayer]

Now would probably be a good time for Lyla and Laurel to make a surprise appearance.

[Lantern7]

Oliver jumping awesomely, posing for his trading card . . .

Ready for something new.

Ok we totally deserved a full China/Katana fight.

[scarynikki12]

China White vs Katana is everything. 

[Primal Slayer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[statsgirl]

I really like Negret's directing. Even the fight scenes are creative.

[Lantern7]

"Oh, shit, I forgot that other Katana would be needed for the new Suicide Squad movie."

. . .  aaaaaaaaaaand there's the Canary Cry. Siren Screech?

[apinknightmare]

They had Tatsu be epically fucking dumb just so Laurel could come in and save the day? So typical lol

[statsgirl]

Oh good Tatsu is alive.

[Primal Slayer]

Why is the writers obsession with Laurel screaming the bad guys into the water?

I like to call it a Siren Scream

[scarynikki12]

Siren better have just sent China White for a swim like she did Diaz. If Kelly’s time with the Arrowverse is ending then she deserves better than to go out by Siren.

Going into this season, the word "screech" fits (that) Laurel better.

[insomniadreams88]

Aww, why didn't they transport the one Star City hospital room to Hong Kong just for laughs?

DO YOU WANT ME TO STROKE OUT?????

[statsgirl]

I think JJ takes after Lyla.

[insomniadreams88]

Okay, that transition was ridiculous. Were those red and black books that just so happened to be next to each other?

[Primal Slayer]

So why doesnt The Monitor obliterate E1 for Oliver not listening to him? 

[statsgirl]

Tatsu is proof that Asian women don't age.

If they paid as much attention to their characters as they do these transitions....

[insomniadreams88]

DON'T YOU TOUCH WILLIAM!

[quarks]

I TOLD you none of these people had street smarts.

[scarynikki12]

I like protective Mia.

I don't think he destroys universes Last week was just really bad timing.

[statsgirl]

So it wasn't what Oliver did on E2 that caused it to be destroyed. It was the Monitor's plan all along.

Is Talia at Nanda Parbat with Thea?

[scarynikki12]

Yeeeesssssssssssss! Lyla talking to Monitor. 

[quarks]

OOOH Lyla!

[Lantern7]

"Mrs. Diggle with Monitor? Why not???"
