Oliver should just run into a lead singer for a rock band named Dinah Drake.

It's pretty amusing to me that they wrote themselves out of the awful Black Canary statue situation by having it destroyed, and then later in front of its wreckage we get the following dialogue: "We should build a new one." "I think we can do better."

I kinda dig lovely-circumstances Laurel 2. I'd be totally okay with her having a change of heart and being The New Laurel. Oh well. I'm assuming this new Canary will be named Dinah-something.

New Canary's name is Tina Bolland. It's not from the comics so we don't get any hints. Guggenheim said this episode lays "a very specific seed" that will be coming to fruition later on. I don't think that's how you describe something as blunt as "We need a new Canary" *cut to New Canary* so I don't know if they're done with Earth 2 Laurel.

They were pretty clear in their comments over the break that they consider Green Arrow/Black Canary a pairing that's impossible to get away from; I can't imagine they go with an entirely new character and just use the power and moniker. At least, I hope not.

Clearly Prometheus is someone very close to Ollie, possibly the real Laurel actually come back to life and turned evil? Also that was Lexa Doig as the new archer in the flashback.

Nice if Ollie to be concerned about reforming her AFTER she broke out of the pipeline. She was right there the whole time, ya could have been making visits.

The fact that he wasn't had me somehow convinced that STAR Labs kept it from him. Like surely he'd drop everything if they went "hey, we got your dead ex in a cell over here, just a little more evil than you remember."

To what end? You know it's not her and all that can be had from the encounter is pain. Look what the Dominator's VR world did to Ollie, you think he'd want to frequently go through that?

It's a version of her. Her being a person you had immense feelings for at one point, and will literally never see again otherwise. That's powerful stuff.

With them focusing on Ollie being dead on Earth 2 and the theme of the episode being about resurrection, I was beginning to wonder if Prometheus is actually Ollie-2. He "died" here, who's to say he didn't go on a cruise and end up somewhere that turned him evil. Even Bratwurst guy made a comment about what he could have become.

Yeah they've got to have one hell of a reveal for Prometheus. I thought for a while it was Adrian Chase, with the vigilante link a red herring.

The voice is probably a massive misdirect and Prometheus is pretty drat slender. I'm sticking with it being real Laurel somehow.
