I'd have given good money for Felicity to finish giving birth and for the baby to be black. I don't care how that screws anything up with whatever else we've seen, that would have been epic.
And cue obligatory growing up montage, because this is fucking Star City 2040, not Star City November 2019. Because if it were, we'd be that much closer to wrapping this shit up.
Some parents pay money to have their kids take piano or ballet, but naturally Oliver and Felicity's daughter gets training by a top former member of the League of Fucking Assassins. Growing up well adjusted so overrated.... I hear....
Is Felicity like one of those beauty pageant moms, who keeps pushing their daughter to aspire to one of their own unrealized dreams? Felicity can't fight so her daughter has to be bad ass. I feel like they cut away from Felicity watching her daughter train just before she starts screaming at her, "you call that roundhouse kick? I could do a better roundhouse kick with my spinal implant turned off!"
Wait a damn minute; Mia spends years learning to fight before she's "ready" to pickup and learn to use a bow and arrow. But Oliver spent a couple of days slapping water and he was all set; then sort of learned the rest of the fighting shit later - although some of his moves he ostensibly learned because Morpheus uploaded them to his brain, because we never saw him actually develop most of his fighting skills.... so I guess Mia should be an even more amazing fighter, right?
So are we just going to gloss over the fact that Oliver was there for her birth around say, when the crossover happens next year; yet is conspicuously missing after that?
Okay then. Just checking....
Wait, after all these years of training and Mia needs to take a knife from the kitchen when inspecting the house; rather than already being armed?
Never mind the fact that, apart from Felicity not answering her - you know, for "reasons" - that there was anything else that should have set off Mia's Arrow-sense for danger; unless she does an armed sweep of the house every time her mom doesn't answer her from clear across the house; which would I assume would be at least every other day. So there again, why wouldn't she just always be carrying at least one knife on her at any time, if she's that freaking paranoid?
Well, yeah, if you're going to fire an arrow in the house, you're going to hit a pictures; what did you expect?
Jesus, Felicity hasn't seen William in probably what, 15-20 years, give or take, but has a picture of her with him as her screen saver?
Where are they hiding out that the whole "vigilantes aren't heroes" line is something Mia would be that tuned into? Espcially if she's so sheltered that she didn't go to school? I mean, yeah vigilantism isn't a well supported idea in the real world, but in terms of the Arrowverse, that seems to be more a Star City/Glades thing; especially in contrast to Central City and how much everyone adores the Flash - who may or may not be alive in this version of 2040. So did Felicity take Mia into hiding, yet hid in Star City's backyard???
And boy did this whole thing escalate quickly and kind of forced. Mia stumbles onto a secret bunker of Felicity's that could self-destruct - which arguably given her childhood probably shouldn't have been a surprise, but also probably should have been keyed through biometrics not to start the meltdown process for Mia.... But then she finds out Felicity is hacking and goes off the deep-end? Seriously? You live this sheltered life knowing pretty much only what your mother has wanted you to know; and at no point did Felicity think to at least try to color her daughter's outlook on life to match her own beliefs? It's not that hard. Hell, Oliver's parents were super shady and he had no idea until his dad practically told him as much before shooting himself in the head. The whole time Felicity is telling Mia stories about what she and Oliver did and she didn't bother to make at least her part in the whole thing sound good and justified?
FFS, and that is what sets her off on her moping adventure to become Blackstar - a name derived from some sort of mopy, teen angst about the light from a star taking so long that by the time it reaches Earth, the star may already be gone? Jesus, she's just a fucking emo....
"No one gets to kill my mom, except me." - Really? Fuck, there better be a lot more motivation behind that statement than just that stupid fight they had earlier in the episode.
Wait, are the Glades the only place in 2040 that aren't tinted blue.....?
Agent Hawke? "Who the hell are you?" - my thoughts exactly. He's going to turn out to be Curtis' son, won't he?
Come on, how was it not blatantly obvious who the "Emerald" angel investor was?
Was it actually necessary for Mia to let her hair down before a big fight; other than to make her look extra sex?
So the entire episode I swear they made Dinah look even older than previous flash forwards; and yet Felicity doesn't look like she's aged a day. Is there some sort Dorian Gray shit going on here? I feel like this supports my theory that Felicity is actually a succubus....
Oh, but her voice got inexplicably lower and taken on a weird cadence. Apparently she, like the future voicemail from Barry, are secretly heavy smokers. Who knew?
Augh... fuck you Mia.
Yeah Mia, seriously; of course they're going to want to disarm the bombs.
38 minutes to find bombs scattered around the city? Better call The Fla.... oh, are we not sure that he's still alive? Okay then, central bomb brain it is. And destroying it is the key and definitely won't just set off the bombs; because...why would you want a fail safe to ensure your mast destruction of your hand held remote detonator got damaged?
Here again, i'd have paid good money if the party they went to had turned out to be an orgy. I mean seriously, did they even need to put on the cloaks instead of go how they were dressed? Mia makes a big deal that William would be the only one to fit in and he really wasn't.
And yet Renee just happened to have all the cloaks and masks and shit for them to wear.... Yeah, old Mad Dog is freaky.
Well, Felicity's deep voice didn't last long...
