AND MY SONG IS...
I don't watch Legends of Tomorrow and skipped a handful of Arrow episodes...

Is there any reason E2 Laurel or Prometheus would know about the Waverider and Sara and time travel?

Edit: should have read the rest of the thread but it sounds like no, probably not.

Maybe Prometheus will be revealed as the fourth member of the Legion of Dooooom and this is all clever story writing and foreshadowing.

Right. :v:

We already know who the fourth member is (at least if you read casting news/interviews on what was planned for the season)

I'm confused, didn't they reveal before the break that Prometheus was the son of that dude Oliver killed in season 1? Or was that a misdirect and I've forgotten?

No, that was the reveal and they stuck with it this episode. As far as I know, everyone is just hoping it's a misdirect because that's boring.

Thinking about the last episode makes me even more disappointed. It's like they listened to their fanbase, but chose to give them the middle finger instead.

Has any show trolled its fans more than this one? Aside from pro wrestling.

Ah yes the fanbase that wanted Laurel dead from episode one until she actually died and then got all pissy about it once it was clear they were actually going to do just that. The core fanbase of this show is generally terrible it seems and they have petty lame reasons for hating different characters at different times and should be mocked and trolled at even given opportunity I think.

The Earth-2 Laurel stuff was done perfectly in this episode. They knew anyone with a brain watching the show would know it wasn't the actual Laurel so they got the reveal over quickly and moved into another good episode. Right now I think only the back half of season two has been stronger than this half season so far. I hope it keeps up that momentum.

Most of the fanbase turned on Felicity when she was the only female left though. Gotta hate some girl it seems no matter what so it transferred to her by default. With a new girl coming in I'm sure she'll be that person now though.

And just in case the show was being watched by anyone without a brain, they made sure to include the clip of oliver saying 'You're not our laurel' right before she launched into her canary cry in the promo for the episode.

It's actually Chicken Boo from Animaniacs

Right after the big reveal Felicity will run in and say "I told you all, he's a giant chicken!"

And it would still be more interesting than son of dead bad dude.

Saw him at Vancouver Con when they were wrapping season 2 & the guy was the greatest in the world. I chalk it up to partying too hard.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I don't know if it was new information but I haven't seen it mentioned in the thread. When Diggle and Oliver are discussing Prometheus its implied that Talia taught both Oliver and Prometheus. That seems like a huge thing that either was never mentioned before this episode or I missed entirely.

Also I love that the payoff for this will have to be that Oliver just never mentioned Talia during all that Ra's/Nyssa stuff. Which is 100% in character.

That episode really set up a lot between Talia and all the complicated implications, the new Canary, the possibility of Earth 2 Laurel sticking around, and Curtis moving away from the fighting and towards the "tinkering" so we can hopefully get T-Spheres by the season finale.

And she's gay so if they ever kill her (for reals) fans will lose their loving poo poo. God help them if they give her a girlfriend.

It was a thing before the break, when they fought at one point Oliver noticed some moves Prometheus uses were the same he was taught by someone in Russia.

Oliver may not connect the dots that Talia is another one of Rhas Al Ghul's daughters.

For those not watching Legends of Tomorrow, they've had League of Assassins Battle Royale with Sarah fighting Damien Dahrk and Malcolm Merlyn. :)

Except for Stephen Amell. Dude is perfect and far better than this world deserves.

I'm going to say the district attorney is not vigilante but he is prometheus. I think the DA guy is an awesome character and look forward to more developments with him this second half of the season.
