Between the four CWDC shows, they've made 8 full seasons of comic book television without a single clone. That's amazing.

honestly, she's been good this season and olicity was toxic for both participants.

I'm cutting them slack, plus the way felicity and rags handled the nuke incidents like adults showed she's learned from the experience.

There are time travel remnants and multiverse doppelgängers though. They're pretty much clones, right?

Binge watching season 1 and it is startling how rapidly the series was course correcting its minor characters in during the show's run. Remember, it didn't have a full season pickup out of the gate.

Its also startling how often Oliver gives characters a 2nd chance to change despite being so closed minded but one could argue that Diggle made that possible.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

This was another good episode in what has been a good season. And that thing with Prometheus' weapons being forged from Oliver's old melted arrows is boss as gently caress.

Don't think I buy Quentin as Prometheus though, as strong as his motivation would be and as hilarious as "drunk becomes supervillain when he blacks out" is as a concept. I think the real person is just setting him up/gaslighting him.

Probably a huge red herring but other than the part where Prometheus is a skilled archer and acrobat, Lance being gaslit to be the closest to it (having access to Oliver's S1 arrows and knowing some of the names on the list) is pretty interesting.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ollie never killed the people on his list in season 1, right? All he did was rob them and it was Merlyn who killed them?

Unless this is Flashpoint stuff.

VV I remember him killing a lot of nameless grunts, but not the people on his list. I dunno, season 1 seems so long ago and all the body-dropping got muddled around so much.

He always gave them a choice, but some did end up being killed.

I had some distractions in the first flashback scene. Was it basically
"I thought joining Bratva was going to get me close to Kovar."
"Yes, not by subterfuge but by killing our way through his troops."

Something that kind of bugged me about the episode was that the people on the list were all involved in some way with the "Undertaking" and Oliver didn't bring that up at all. It wasn't like Oliver was just murdering people for no reason.

Also, Oliver was very publicly arrested for being the Hood and the Arrow. Yet the B-Team was surprised that he was the Green Arrow? Or didn't figure out he was all three immediately? The answer to "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!?" should have been "Wait, you didn't know?"

Entertainment Weekly released some picture for crossover promotion. Most of them are just studio photos unrelated to the shows, but there's one of Laurel and Sara where Laurel looks to be wearing a wedding dress or something.

So we might get some alternate universing after all.

They already said they're bringing a ton of dead characters back for the Arrow portion of the crossover so that seems like a safe bet.
