It doesn't matter, but was the Archer in the very first scene supposed to by Tommy-Prometheus or Ollie-Fuhrer? It was dark and their costumes are so similar to begin with.

Fuhrer Oliver kills Earth-X Guardian and takes over the breach gateway in the cold open. Prometheus/Tommy shows up for the first time at the wedding.

Cool. Thanks. They probably could have made that Tommy, so that the reveal meant a little more.

Supergirl-Guardian needs to get Guardian X's paint job. Looks so much better than dull tacticool black.

It's because the typical audience member (for basically everything) is assumed by default to be a heterosexual man who's somewhat homophobic but OK with lesbians as long as they're attractive.

The final scene of the final episode of Arrow ever is going to be Justin Hartley walking into Queen Manor, and everyone going "who the hell are you?" and he just says "My name is Oliver Queen. I've been trapped on an island called Lian Yu for the last 20 years and I've finally made it home. Soooo... What have I missed?"

Have an in universe Green Arrow TV show or something, and he plays the Arrow in there.

Just wanted to say that I gave up on the Arrow before this season started and I'm so happy I did. As much as I loved Felicity's character, Rickards is a really bad actress; open your mouth and enunciate, quit mumbling your lines in a half whisper. Out of curiosity, how many times has the group turned on each other this season?

Well that's what brought me here, the crossover forced me to watch team Arrow and it's troop of misfits that all hate each other on a rotating basis and Rickards' absolutely god awful acting because I still love to watch Flash and Supergirl. Please lord, let this be the very last crossover that includes dysfunctional Ollie and his Arrow team.

Zero, I think. Whenever a member reveals something and comes clean, everyone's been largely understanding and supportive.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Has the Arrow team ever really "turned" on each other besides Evelyn? I mean they've had lots of secrets and issues and drama like most shows but I can't think of outright turning situations. I mean I guess there was the time Thea was brainwashed to kill someone and Roy was driven crazy by super power steroids?

I actually feel like Team Arrow is surprisingly forgiving in the big picture. I mean, their leader is a serial killer who has repeatedly manipulated and lied to them and they still love the guy and follow him. Felicity nuked Ragman's town and he took the adult approach to it not being her fault. Flash erased Diggle's daughter and he got past it and officiated his wedding. Diggle got Rene shot and he barely even cared.

I just realized that Curtis is a weird member of the team because he doesn't have a personal body count to atone for.

Largely, they improved Felicity's character over her Season 4 weirdness and my guess some EP said pick a side, either Oliver and Felicity are together or drop the plot. She has been relatively mature and good support for the team and provides that human side that Oliver needs to rebuild. In the crossover she handled the question well up until she trampled all over Barry and Iris's moment but they seemed cool with it so whatever.

Basically, DC TV Universe owns and is in good place.

He doesn't have time for a body count, all his spare time is putting his hair in and out of braids and painting the T each time they suit up

Someone should compare and contrast because it kind of looks like they stopped braiding it and he's just pulling it back now. At least as of the crossover.

Also it occurred to me today that the super secret evidence is probably going to be William's testimony which is the dumbest possible option on the planet and will set back any gains the show has made a million years.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

My conspiracy theory is that the FBI agent is trying to get Oliver to go public as the Green Arrow, and is BSing the DA into pressing charges on all the murders and assaults they can solidly pin on him so that the case gets dismissed/withdrawn and Oliver is protected by double jeopardy.

I have no idea if that makes legal sense, but I'm confident the show doesn't either.
