Felicity |OT| The Final Arrow Episode as one final parting shot

Unless something has changed in the last year, the official word was that every reverse flash we see is before S1 reverse flash.
I can't remember which CW thread I said this in, but I'm pretty confident that's what we are seeing. I expect a reveal in Crisis proper. The typical thing to do here would be to have a sort of montage which contextualizes the sightings, but there are a lot of other options.
Some of that is just because we are seeing both "Ollie must die" and "Barry must die" which seems a little...odd. Specifically in that they are each only being told that angle. Not something like "You and the Flash must die."
But yeah, at least some of these have to be the Anti-Monitor at work.
Thanks, I had to look it up to check. Sounds like yes...but they never actually give any reasoning.
Kind of reduces the impact of Season 1. Boo.
Ep 1: Oliver vs. Tommy
Ep 2: Katana vs. China White
Ep 3: Thea vs. Talia
Ep 4: Team Arrow vs. Team Deathstroke
Ep 5: Mia vs. Dolph Lundgren's son?

So i remember early on people were saying flash don't really have history \ world building with it's characters
Saw this week ep man what a waste just for a predictable ep and show arrow much better with that stuff.

Only show that comes close after Arrow is Legends. You look at how Supergirl and Flash are in their 5th and 6th seasons respectively, and it's just depressing to think about.
Another really solid episode. The Kids play really well off of the original cast. I like that they've kept Black Siren with a bit of her edge. Like, you can go kill this dude if you want, I ain't gonna stop ya.
I'd also like to say that even though it was a little thing, I really liked Oliver taking Mia to the graves. It helped make the world feel real. Like that's something a real human being would do and not a character on a show. It was a great little touch.

Another great episode. The future cast really stepped up their performances. Ben Lewis' in particular was great. He felt like a fully realized character who was able to show multiple sides of his character in an episode where he wasn't the sole focus. Big kudos to him.
I agree. I was so happy that this episode wasn't just exposition and they allowed these characters to have real human interactions that felt genuine. All of the parent-child dynamics were really well handled and they were even able to make Dinah, Laurel and Curtis feel necessary to the plot without any convolution. All the performers really stepped up and it shows.

I feel like we're at 4/4 and the only thing that might stop this being a perfect season is the backdoor pilot
I look at that the same way I do at going from Batman:TAS to Justice League: Unlimited. When they take their time and build up their worlds, it works so well.
Yup. Thawne has escaped all of his deaths by either creating Time Remnants or hiding in the Negative Speed Force. Aside from episodes that specifically state that he is from a different point in his timeline, all versions are consecutive. Season 1 Thawne was followed by Legends Thawne was followed by Crisis on Earth X Thawne who was followed by Season 5 Thawne.
Wasn't Legends RF an actual time remnant though? He was pulled by Barry at the start of S3.

Yeah Legends RF was an earlier timeline version that somehow inherited S1 Flash's memories.
there's no logical explanation

Eh? They've already said they basically don't know, Oliver just disappears. Which he already knows obviously.
They said they don't know what happened to him. I don't see why they wouldn't know anything about the event itself...

The event doesn't happen (in that future). Oliver stops it.
And keep in mind Crisis happens outside of the timeline, the chances are their future doesn't exist anymore (and Flash can't time travel to that point). Basically everything is in flux.
Speaking of Thawne, Crisis better give us that Superman Vs. Reverse Flash fight that got teased in Crisis on Earth X.
Would be super ballsy if they leave the fate of the future up in the air and they keep the 2040 team in 2019.
I hope William joins them as an honorary Bro of Prey.
I've nearly done a 180 on the future stuff thanks to William and JJ. I hope we haven't seen the last of JJ.
People dunk on McNamara's acting, but I thought all her scenes with Stephen were really good.
She just needs more to work with. You can't have her perpetually angry all the damn time and she needs people she can really bounce off of. FTA isn't a developed enough cast to do that on its own. They need OTA to at least get a head start.
After watching this episode, I think she has potential. The issue for me is that she being written like an anime character who has one domineering personality trait and almost nothing else.
Laurel in the mentor role was really good. If anything those moments between the two of them made me feel better about the spin off.
The relationship between Oliver and his children is so sweet :3
And yeah, so wild that Arrow is dealing with meeting future time-displaced children and creating anti-matter, while Flash had a (relatively) more grounded episode this week (didn't even deal with Cisco getting his powers back or Breacher's Earth possibly getting destroyed, it was more of a straightforward mystery. I still enjoyed it).
Also, took long enough for Grant Wilson to eventually show up. Poor Slade.

Weird, I don't recall Patty ever appearing on this show
