No, I feel the same way. He shouldn't be wearing his uniform either. I read a review that mentioned that this documentary is outlawed in the future for being pro-vigilante, so maybe since ARGUS seems to be headed into big bad territory there's a reason why they're shown here.

Yeah, that's just strange, as is it seeming like this is the first time he says anything about William being on-screen. I feel like that's something Oliver should have addressed ahead of time as soon as he knew that the filming would be done at the same time as William being home. Obviously neither could be done so we'd get this conversation and clearly no one thought to instead have Oliver go, "remember, I said my son can't be on camera." Link to comment

calliope1975 February 4, 2019 Share February 4, 2019 (edited) I like these clips and am cautiously excited for tonight, but I already know I'll be doing Olympic level mental gymnastics to hand wave away why all these interviews for this documentary were never mentioned before. Oh Arrow, you do you. I also enjoy that Felicity is saying stuff (William's height) that she probably would have said when she picked him up, much like the removal of the tattoo comment in Ivy Town. Gotta get it on camera even if the timing makes no sense. Edited February 4, 2019 by calliope1975 Link to comment
tv echo February 4, 2019 Share February 4, 2019 (edited) 'Arrow' Advance Review: "Emerald Archer" Is Everything An Anniversary Episode Should Be By RUSS BURLINGAME - February 4, 2019https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/02/04/arrow-advance-review-emerald-archer-is-everything-an-anniversary/ Quote Tonight, Arrow celebrates its 150th episode -- and as it does, the series that launched The CW's interconnected DC Universe of superhero shows delivers one of its best episodes in years and a masterclass in how to do an anniversary episode. The hundredth episode of Arrow -- which aired during the "Invasion!" crossover -- was somewhat controversial, since the demands of the crossover prevented the episode from touching on everything the fans might have liked to see. * * * With "Emerald Archer," tonight's episode of Arrow, they strike a great balance. The episode certainly has a lot of far-reaching implications for the future of the show, but as they do that, they parade a litany of guest stars that will pull at the heartstrings of longtime fans, give nearly every major season 7 character a moment or three to shine, and retains its sense of timing and urgency within the story of the season, feeling more current and significant to the plot than many anniversary episodes, which can feel disconnected from the ongoing storyline of a series and preoccupied with cramming in the nostalgia. More than anything, it feels like the Arrow team understands the importance of big-number episodes to comic book fans, and is striving to make the episodes worthy of that anticipation and attention. Arrow has routinely done its best to make "big" episodes, whether it's by number or by plot event, special to audiences. Sometimes, that comes with mixed results, as it can feel like you're "trying too hard." With "Emerald Archer," it's just right. The cast each get relatively little time, so while Stephen Amell clearly has the most screentime of anybody, it is not enough to make the whole thing fall on his shoulders a la "Invasion!" or Legends of Tomorrow's "Here I Go Again." Everyone, though, is at home, enjoying themselves, the even the "big" moments of the episode feel breezy and fun. In some ways, it seems like Arrow has delivered one of its best episodes of the season by finding the things that work about its sister shows and pilfering them. It would not be an Arrow standout without a great fight scene, and we do get one. Team Arrow is back in costume, facing off against a villain who feels a bit like Amazo or Super-Skrull; he has a crazy costume, an impressive arsenal, and a specific hangup with the team. Having really just the one action scene to handle, the capable Arrow stunt team delivered a fight that looks and feels a bit like the grimy, street-level version of the big fight against Thanos on Titan in Infinity War. You have a hulking, powerful baddie who is fighting off the heroes from all sides, but it works without feeling ridiculous or insulting to the heroes. Give this one a watch -- even if you are a bit behind, the mockumentary-style approach and the fact that so many of the characters are reconnecting for the first time in quite a while makes it not just an excellent episode, but a great jumping-on point.

I liked the clips too! I didn't mention it because I didn't like them, it just seemed like a weird omission. I'm guessing maybe William coming home is one of the first scenes and they're using it to set up the premise for the documentary crew, so I can hand wave it. 2 Link to comment

Morrigan2575 February 5, 2019 Share February 5, 2019 They are definitely going to have a new TA in the future. Mia/Maya/Blackstar - Speedy JJ/Connor Hawke - GA Will - Overwatch Zoe - BC They're not giving us much but Mia finding the Lair and Mia/Connor teaming up in the lair sets (to my mind) a theme of Olicity/Dyla kids. Especially when you have a parallel of Oliver/Diggle mending fences and Oliver going to the lair followed by Mia/Connor finding it. So yeah, I'm still thinking Mia is an Olicity baby. However, I will open it up for adropted/Street kid, ala Comics Mia. 5 Link to comment

I laughed at how they were framing the whole scene as "look how she hates vigilantes! She's super suspicious" while she's hanging out doing some --framed as secret, underground and presumably against William's group who we're supposed to root for--thing with JJ...who's dad was just deputized as a vigilante in the documentary she was just watching. Idk how they'll frame it, but it's hilarious to try to take it at face value. Edited February 5, 2019 by way2interested 1 Link to comment

I guess she technically doesn't need to be deputized since she's probably not committing vigilantism in the show's definition of it. It's of course possible that they leave her out of things, but I don't think her lack of a badge means anything at all. Link to comment

Mellowyellow February 5, 2019 Share February 5, 2019 So this is why JH was cackling at the beginning of the season. She's all over this show like a meningococcal rash. I'm at the point where I'm wondering if EBR has some deal for minimal screentime so she won't need to work instead of pay rises because she too is over this shit show. All other conspiracy theories have been exhausted. 5 Link to comment
