I didn’t get chance to watch tonight. I hope I find the time tomorrow.

So everyone on Earth 2 no longer exists. Except Laurel because she escaped with Oliver and Diggle.

They aren’t pulling any punches with the crisis.

I remember Oliver and Felicity’s daughter grown up in the future, but what is this group of new hero’s she is with ? Had to go back to the recap , it was confusing at first. Then I understood this was earth 2.
Frankly I disagree the way they started the first episode. To jump right into Oliver in another Earth, plus the first scene was back at the island.
Really going to have to watch do you have to say it again to understand everything.

I had just watched the Flash , Barry had to go to another earth for help , he ran into others who are dead on his earth

well that was very confusing

It took a few to realize what was going on but damn did I love it all. So many great tie ins and call back moments. Then that ending for Oliver to loose his mom and tommy again. Just :bawl:

Seriously I loved it. Loved it.

I could see how maybe people who didn’t remember much from last season or don’t follow both flash and arrow could be a little lost but I think this episodes was 9/10 for me.

I love Laurels new suit. :love:

I loved our Dig showing up and the smirk when Oliver couldn’t escape the car. :lol:

I will have to watch it tonight, I wasn't home for the premiere :(

Oh I didn't expect this! Oliver is doing his story another time! And Malcolm and Moira are together for real :lol: didn't expect to see her too, it was really nice! But Thea... at least good thing Oliver was able to rescue her in his own Earth
I think we all knew Tommy was going to be the Dark Archer this time, and it's funny that Malcolm looks so innocent in Earth 2. I thought Rene was a bodyguard! I didn't expect Rene and Dinah to be with him.
"What happened to you while I was on the island?" Ooooh
"This world is much much worse because you weren't in it" loved that too!
And Green Arrow of Earth 2 being like Curtis, Felicity and Oliver on one person :lol:

About the flashforward I didn't imagine that would be the other son of Diggle :eek:
I love the rivalry between the two brothers!!

Interesting premiere but somehow it felt a bit pointless to me?

The different world was very strange with all the subtle changes. It was nice to see Moira and Tommy again but no Thea was annoying.

Laurel looked good with the short blonde hair!

I missed Felicity in this ep. Wish I had more to say but really don't. I'm happy this show is ending and I am looking forward to the remaining 9 eps.

Considering I dont watch any of the other shows it is a bit confusing but I'm just blindly following along and smiling at this point lol.
