Oh hey look it's a Cronenberg Flash. I-I'm Regular Flash an-an-and this is - like a crazy monster version of me. I mean look at it's arm all the way up there, it's barely functional.

what is up with the computers in the Arrow-cave glitching out? The hand waving Felicity gives us is that Cisco and Star Labs did it. Isn't Star Labs just a building with captured super villians? Did slave labor build the new arrow hide out? And if Cisco did install their equipment I am pretty sure he would do a bang up job and not do tech support to fix bugs. I would of enjoyed more if they said Barry or the Flash gave them a hand but Felicity herself is slowly installing the computers and thus the glitches. All I am saying is just don't throw Cisco under the bus for having a crummy lair.

I liked how black tech nerd was trying to figure out who the Green Arrow was. That either marks him for death or to join the team, so death by joining the team.

Wouldn't he realise that's probably a bad idea if they're trying to catch bad guys? Or is he all "Boo hoo, a hundred people died because you couldn't look up how to defuse the bomb, I WAS HALF AN INCH TALL!"?

When Lance said he'd give Felicity access to the police computer system, I was really hoping she'd hacked it already. I'm going to choose to believe she did but just didn't want to hurt his feelings.

He's got a point, no mayor's ever lived long enough to get into specifics of their platform and every press conference has pretty much ended with an attempt on the candidate's life so they've never had time to actually say anything substantive.

Yeah, I'm sure the writers are going to play fair with him.

Also, I'm not sure what's going on with Stephen Amell's latest tweet, but I'm choosing to believe it means the creative team have massively stepped up their game when it comes to trolling Olicity fans.

I was a bit disappointed that Stein didn't appear as a wavy transparent ghost head every time he talked to Jackson this week. I guess they needed all the VFX power they could muster for MANSHARK!!!.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
What a good ep. It's funny when you think of what a lovely two days Lance had. It started with him upset about not being able to investigate two detectives deaths, then finding out his daughter is alive (but insane), then she tries to kill his other daughter. He finds out the rear end in a top hat who got his daughter killed is a vigilante and is RUNNING FOR MAYOR, and has to rely on him to do criminal analysis.

The next day, he gets confronted by the vigilante IN HIS APARTMENT (never fun to find people in your home, especially if you're a cop whose daughter was kidnapped repeatedly over the last three years).
Then he finds out the killers are in his apartment building, he has to kill his daughter, can't do it, is kidnapped and forced into ending his career and breaking his morality, only to be saved by the vigilante, a guy who's made his life insane.

Detective Lance already knew Oliver was the Arrow from the final events of last season, but otherwise this is spot-on. Somebody next week better acknowledge that Lance's weak heart clearly isn't a problem anymore, if ever. (Or, next week's cold open is him surrounded by EMTs performing CPR.)
