I forget that she bombed the police department. As for Diaz, she was his lackey for a time.
My thoughts on the finale:
It's gonna be weird not having this show around anymore. The good in my mind far outweighed the bad, and I'll miss seeing these characters every week.
It was great to see so many cameos. It was nice that they worked Slade in some way, and it was great seeing Oliver save Moira. That being said, I really want to know how the rest of that season played out now.
Tommy married Laurel! It is sad that they didn't bring back Earth 1 Laurel (it would have been easy, and given E2 Laurel another reason to travel in time). Guggenheim said they didn't want to undo everything that E2 Laurel had gone through, and I can understand that.... still, there could have been two.
It was great to see Tommy again, and it was even better that he shaved He still looks like season 1 Tommy without the beard.
Nice to see the flashbacks again, and to see Season 1 Hood mowing down armed thugs. I get that he spared Byrne, but he did kill like 30 guys there.
Nice that we got one last fight scene. I'm guessing that was the entire stunt department.
Roy and Thea get their happy ending! But again, I want to know how things played out that Thea still ended up becoming a vigilante, and presumably the co-leader of a new League.
Speaking of which- I cannot believe they were actually able to get Katrina Law back for a scene, since she's living and working in Hawaii now. But I'm glad they did- as much as anyone, Nyssa has been an integral part of this show since season 2, even if she only appeared sporadically. And it was nice to see her getting along with Talia.
Sara is still her beloved. Guess it's a good thing she didn't bring Ava with her.
Mia got to say goodbye, and got to give some comfort to her younger brother and Mother at the same time.
Emiko finally gets to be accepted as a Queen. Wonder if Moira know Emiko knew about the bomb on the boat... At least her and Thea FINALLY got to share a scene.
So Diggle is moving to Metropolis- and FINALLY has the Green Lantern ring! Makes me wonder if maybe he'll move over to the Superman and Lois Lane show. I guess it all depends on WB, and if they would allow a Green Lantern on the CW at the same time they are making a Green Lantern show for HBO. Or if it would even be allowed contractually.
All of the other cameos were great to see as well, from Anatoli, to Lance, to Ragman, to Moira of course. And Barry and Kara came to say goodbye, which was perfect. I wish Sin could have been there, though.
Funny thing is, all day I've seen pictures being posted of Maddison McLaughlin with the cast members- all apparently from the past. Because we still don't know what happened to Evelyn.
And the ending... screw what the haters are saying. Oliver and Felicity essentially got the ending that Superman, Lois, Alexander and Superboy Prime got at the end of Crisis- they get to spend eternity together in a paradise realm. I see people bitching already that Felicity abandoned her children to be with Oliver--- bullshit. I see that argument in the old timeline, where William had just found her again and Mia had been raised as a warrior and probably didn't get the best mother she could have gotten. But this is a new reality. William and Mia were raised together, by Felicity. She got to watch them grow up and become heroes themselves, and when they were ready to stand on their own, she chose to move on. And now she and Oliver can finally rest. That is a perfect ending, IMO.
