Felicity |OT| The Final Arrow Episode as one final parting shot
- Thread starter ZeroX
- Start date
God damn what a fantastic premiere and I loved everything about it.
It's amazing that Arrow finally goes back to Earth-2 when the Flash hasn't been back there since Season 2!

Makes sense, it seems like the season is going to be Oliver running through his show's greatest hits with the Monitor calling the shots.
Episode 1 - Season 1 - Pilot/the Undertaking
Episode 2 - Season 3 - Hong Kong/the virus subplot featuring Katana!
Other greatest hits: Season 2 - Deathstroke, Season 4 - Darhk/Ghosts, Season 5 - The Anti-Monitor rescues Earth-2's Adrian to make him into Prometheus, Season 6 - oh God is the Dragon coming back?, Season 7 - Emiko returns too!
Oliver one-shotting Wild Dog and Dinah was soooo good. Reminds me of when he was training them all and he beat them up on the reg.

Taking a look at the episode titles:
1. "Starling City" - S1
2. "Welcome to Hong Kong" - S3, Hong Kong
3. "Leap of Faith" - S4-ish (Thea, Talia, League stuff)
4. "Present Tense" - ??
5. "Prochnost" - S5, Russia
6. "Reset" - ??
7. "Purgatory" - S2, The Island
I guess one of the ?? episodes is the backdoor pilot slash future episode, which would rep S6.
Seeing Oliver in a different earth and playing out the same events only remixed was cool to see.
Good way to bring back some of the OG cast
Laurel's suit/haircut was looking good and Diggle showing up to give Oliver a hand was nice.
Renee and Dinah getting the basic goon treatment on Earth 2 was hilarious.
I'm not really feeling the flash-forwards to the future scene with Team Arrow Jr, but it was cool to see dude from Russian Doll.

Breaking it down won't make it sound as good as it is, as most of the episode is built on S1 references. But basically Ollie goes to Earth-2 and pretends to be a version of himself that was on Lian Yu for 12 years. He's been sent to Earth-2 by The Monitor to get a device only available there, but it's been stolen by the Dark Archer. Diggle is an absolute bro and comes to Earth-2 to help Ollie. They track down Merlyn, stop him from committing an Undertaking, and get the device. Then as Ollie and Diggle prepare to leave, Earth-2 collapses in on itself as a result of Crisis, killing everyone except Ollie, Diggle and Black Siren as they escape back to Earth-1.
Barry's busy running face first into enemy attacks, he ain't got time for that.
It's funny to me how much genre fiction writers love that fucking quote, lol.
Huh, yeah.
Possible the Monitor intervened so Oliver could end up back home.
Considering the showrunner mentioned that "some of the people from this version of Earth-2 may return in unexpected ways" later in the season I wouldn't be surprised if something like this does happen.
Or maybe it's Black Lantern Adrian Chase...
We actually don't know what time period the spinoff will be set in. We just know the CW wants to keep giving McNamara money.
I haven't been keeping up and I'm assuming it'll pertain to the future shit, cause they keep bringing it back. I hope I'm wrong though.
Keep in mind that Earth-2 Laurel is one of the characters they want to feature in the show and her entire universe just got erased, so she's officially homeless now.
Katie Cassidy is not going to sign on for a show where she has to wear old age makeup every time, so I imagine Mia is going to get ported to the post-Oliver present or some tangent timeline after Crisis and Laurel is going to become her new mentor or something.
There's already a Crisis thread so we can probably just discuss it in there.
Holy shit, did they just pull a Thanos-snap on the entirety of Earth 2 ?
Yep, absolutely terrible and almost made me single handedly quit watching the show last season.

As someone who stopped watching the show three seasons ago, I'm confused by the future stuff entirely. Star City basically looks the same in all the future scenarios, so it's not even like a cool post-apocalyptic future. It's just...Star City but with teen heroes? What's the point?
It's not even a Walking Dead thing, where you got to get a little attached to seeing the kid all grown up.
Here they just throw his daughter at you and expect us to care
It would've made marginally more sense for William to be the main character of the future timeline and Mia to be the supporting character but I guess they really wanted to use that actress.
it's especially funny because their Nancy Drew actress looks like her clone
I liked the future stuff in this episode better than previous future stuff. Decent fight scenes and no old people makeup are big pluses.
Hopefully dad will come soon to pick up his kids and bring em back to present day.

As I was watching this last night, all I could think about was how Oliver was gonna leave his mom thinking he's dead... AGAIN! But then nope, Earth 2 goes up in flames anyway, problem solved. Also, that comment about where Walter went made me think of Poochie going back to his home planet... as Zod.
Ah yes, I wasn't certain if Jessie was there or not.
but RIP Harry if so
One thing that bugged me is they didn't keep the same look and aesthetic for Earth-2 as The Flash did. Its not that important but oh well. Other than that yeah this opener was great, flash coming in second for me.
Yeah, that was the annoying part. Even if they weren't making it Art Deco Earth like E2 Central City, least keep the weird golden filter to make it clear it's Earth-2.
Yeah that style was so interesting and it would be weird if that was just Central City only lol.
