I love Connor Hawke so I'm predictably glad he exists and is the future GA, though honestly they probably coulda just gone with an adult William for this part. Or...poo poo, if they had Connor be William in the first place. I think Connor being John Jr. was probably the best we could hope for with what we were given, but it still ends up a little weird 'cuz like, okay, so where does the alias Connor Hawke come from? Internet name generator? Why not at least have him be Connor Diggle? That scene just felt kinda random. I did like how everything ended, with an Oliver and a Diggle out to fix the city, like how it all began.

Watching Bag of Hormones and Dorky White Guy competing to hook up with Hawkgirl (who clearly just wants everyone to leave her the gently caress alone) was probably the most fun I've had on a "love triange" arc like this and I have every confidence that "aawwwwww you got me buddy " thing at the end means we will never seen a reprise. This show is so great Now can we go back in time and prevent Felicity from dying her hair blonde and getting that weird medical condition where her voice quivers all the time?

I'm really disappointed that Ollie didn't fire arrows with his mouth. That would have been so good. It was still great, but it could have been so much better.

I realize you're trying to say he'd be holding the bowstring with his teeth or something, but the image I have in my mind from your comment is oh so much better and I'm just not willing to give it up. I'm also disappointed we didn't get to see this.

Best episode of the series by far, and I don't think its a coincidence that its the only one to not have Vandal Savage in it.

Take out the alpha male and the whole gang follows the new guy without even knowing who he is. And Caity was badass again. Great episode even though the comedy relief of the high school relationship storyline was silly.

I can't remember if they covered it but did they just out Oliver Queen as Green Arrow to Captain Cold and Heatwave? Kinda seems like a dick move given that they'll inevitably end up back in their own timelines.

It's not like Oliver actually keeps his secret identity secret, they would have learned it within 5 minutes of entering Star City anyway Damien Dahrk is the only guy who doesn't know

More shows should take the Supergirl approach to secret identities. That being, "only keep it a secret from the proven vindictive characters with the ability to out you to the world."

Harrison Wells figured it out in about 30 seconds last season on The Flash (though he probably just went into his time bunker and asked Gideon).

Didn't they just call him Oliver? Not that it would be too hard to put together at that point anyway. There's probably a few Ollie's in star city, but not too many that know Ray Palmer, and the Lance family. Really, Capitan Cold would be a hero on Arrow, what with the no killing rule, and having some sense of honor.

Snart is definitely an anti hero at this point, sorta like Catwoman, rather than an out and out villain.

I guess the Arrowverse has set up Cold as a bad guy with possibly some hidden good guy impulses. Maybe. But a better argument against Mick would be that in the wasteland future, there'd be nothing really worth stealing. The Rogues don't lead gangs, they just steal stuff, because they like stealing stuff. I get that things have to be changed for purposes of visual adaptation, and fidelity to comic books isn't important at all. I don't get Cold's motivation, though, unless this is a lead-up to him being Citizen Cold.

Stealing is just a convienant way of causing chaos while being able to be lazy after while you sit on stacks of cash Mick wants to destroy. He's an arsonist at heart and steals only to be able to burn more. Cold is a thief and enjoys the "game" and the challenge that comes with being a thief. In a lawless world, while there's a bounty to steal, there's no challenge and Cold needs that challenge.
