Zoey's death was terribly telegraphed and just plot induced stupidity. She merely kicked a dude in body armor, knocked him down, then she turns her back on him? Like WTF..? Figured with the spinoff and who was said to be involved in that that she was gonna bite it.
Loved Thea's return and send off from the show. She has come a looooong way from the spoiled rich girl of season one. Her appearance her as a scarred, veteran fighter/hero, I loved it. I could go for a Thea spinoff. Maybe she will show up in the Canaries show, who knows.
Oliver is likely going to make things worse before they get better thinking the Monitor is the Anti-Monitor of the ancient text. Be interesting to see where that goes.
Team Arrow 2040 in the present. Will set up some dramatic ish with Diggle and Connor and Dig finding out his blood son is full on evil. Im thinking there will be more crying with Oliver and his kids talking about his sacrifice and such like we had in this episode. And the last episode. Hopefully we are done with crying.
Lotta crying on both shows last night.
