Everyone's reactions were just be so incredibly inconsistent. Rene pulls the biggest backstab in the history of superheroics and Ollie just takes him right back into the field. Dinah gets pissed the call her out for seeing her psycho ex and then immediately goes right back to said psycho ex. Everyone tells about how they're getting tested as second class citizens when the other options are the guy who was just Green Arrow last week and his partner and wife. Even Curtis, who has the most natural reaction and sensible reasons to hang up the mask, ends with BUT WE'RE STILL COOL FELICITY CYA TOMORROW AT WORK It really felt like the writing fell apart a few episodes before Crisis and hasn't put itself back together. I hope the last half gets the job done, because last season was incredible. This one... woof. Aphrodite posted:There’s 14 more episodes. Oh thank gods. There's still time to undo all this bullshit and reveal the FBI agent as a plant by the Oliver Queen Revenge Squad or whatever.

I like how not only did felicity crap on Barry and Iris' nice moment/mini wedding, but then they didn't even invite them to their wedding pt2 even though Ollie was Barry's best man, seriously team flash should sever.

It was a reception, not another ceremony, and everyone from the crossover all went out of their way once already. I imagine everyone else had stuff to do.

In my head, Feliclity probably called Iris while her and Barry were in Aruba or wherever they went on their honeymoon and asked her if she wanted to come to her and Oliver's wedding reception, and Iris responding by promptly throwing the phone into the ocean.

I think the Felicity hate is overblown and very stupid but like whatever you may think of her "stealing" Barry and Iris' spontaneous wedding with a spontaneous wedding of their own if she had called up all their friends and announced a sudden, unexpected destination wedding ceremony RIGHT after the last one then she's just a complete and total rear end in a top hat.

I'm super cheesed off by the reveal that Cayden James just bugged the Arrowcave. That sure seems like something they should have loving checked for.

Being able to just waltz into STAR Labs and the Arrow Cave is a time-honored tradition though. Hell even the Waverider can now get invaded by the Time Bureau pretty much whenever.

My main question with FBI Lady is this - where the hell was she? She's had 5 years of the Green Arrow, certainly earlier she hadn't put it together yet when it first started, but that's not what I'm on about. There have been multiple terror attacks on Star City in the last 5 years, and only Slade, Prometheus and the new plot was actually Oliver's fault. Ra's al Ghul would likely have attacked the city independantly, Merlyn leveled a few city blocks, Darke would have nuked the world - aren't these things that the FBI should be stepping in to investigate? Or am I getting them confused with the CTU? Hell, surely a cruise missile being launched from Argus should have piqued her interest after the fact?

I don't think it was supposed to be a character moment, I think it was just a weird take where Rick Gonzalez just didn't actually drink whatever was in the shot glass.

Rene has a big messed up past with substance abuse, a history of anger and impulse control problems, and is in the middle of trying to win back custody of his kid so it doesn't seem that mysterious why he might not be drinking. Like, he doesn't have to be an alcoholic. He could just be making a concentrated effort to be at his best.

I thought the reason he and Quentin bonded initially was over their shared problems with alcohol, but my memory might have manufactured that.

I think maybe Rene had some history with his wife and then cleaned up and she relapsed? I'm not sure about that. I think the bulk of him and Quentin bonding was about them both being fathers who had "lost" their daughters and Quentin wanting to convince Rene to take the second chance he wanted so badly. The booze/drugs stuff seemed kind of secondary. But I can't remember for sure if Rene had a past or not. Or maybe Rene was drinking when he lost his daughter? I don't know. Either way I think its just part of Rene's story that he decided to clean his poo poo up especially once Quentin/Curtis talked him into trying to get his daughter back. So just making a focused effort to stay sober makes sense.

At least Slade got a decent amount of closure for his relationship with Oliver now - he just has his own adventures to go on now.

Yer Burnt posted:It's really annoying that they're supposedly still planning a Suicide Squad sequel because those episodes were drat fun. And they axed the live action debut of Harley Quinn in the Arrowverse for it. From the sound of it they also torpedoed Harley's debut on Gotham too, because I seem to recall the producers of that show spent all this year going "wait till you see who we got to play Harley Quinn, you're going to love it, she'll be showing up by the end of the season" and then the season came and went and Harley was nowhere to be found.

They had to walk it back like nuts over the summer: "Despite Promises, It Turns Out Harley Quinn Was Never Going to—and Will Never—Be on Gotham" The tl;dr of it was the Gotham producers started running their mouths about "oh yeah, we're totally gonna do Harley Quinn" and then had go "oh we meant we're gonna do a Harley Quinn-LIKE character" because WB swooped in and slapped the self-congratulatory cigar out of their mouth mid-season because Suicide Squad was about to drop and no one in the Gotham bullpen got the memo.
