I loved everything about this episode.
Mia annoyed me.... I just didn't care for her pain or anything, I was just simply annoyed. lol

William and Oliver scenes were so special. I love how William told Oliver everything he wanted to tell him about wishing Oliver fought harder and how he loved being with him then and now. I need to re-watch all of that.

Poor Connor Hawke. I just felt sad for him because he's referring to John Diggle as, "Dad" and Diggle doesn't have the connection because he hasn't even adopted him yet.
Connor just needed a hug because it was sad to watch.
The ending was a step in the right direction though. Especially Diggle referring to himself as Connor's father. You can tell how much that meant to amazing adopted Connor. Aww someone give him a hug please.

Stephen Amell acting deserves all the awards. His acting got me invested into the whole episode. You could see his joy mixed in with pain and it worked perfectly for this episode. Also for Oliver to see a mini him in Mia had to be so strange to him. lol but he was still protective dad mode.

I just loved Siren.
When she was like "Definitely you're daughter" lol she was just amazing with her sarcasm and realism and the end of the episode with AntiMonitor. Telling her to betray Oliver Queen and he'll bring her Earth back. I don't know what she should do only because if most were in her situation they'd probably do the evil thing and betray. That is Siren (Larurel's) earth and they are real people who deserves to live and not die that way. So I can't really be against any decision she makes here.

it was hilarious to me hearing everyone talking about is it possible to change the future... umm guys... the future was already changed the second Mia, Connor and William got transported 20 years in the past. Rene and Dinah ain't suppose to know about Mia until 2039 and now they know in 2019, buttlerfly effect #1! Diggle ain't suppose to know he will adopt Connor and his son will be evil, butterfly effect #2. Rene ain't suppose to know his daughter dies and he wins the vote... I mean shall I go on? Everything is different. Which might be better since the future looks so trash....
