man that whole hawkgirl/hawkman mess was wack, i am not looking forward to their scenes in the spinoff. felt like i was watching the mummy 2 all over again except without anybody remotely as godly as rachel weisz.
oliver scenes involving his son were pretty damn good though. i'm liking this development.

Season 1 of Arrow? Malcolms fault
Season 2 of Arrow? Malcolm(for sinking the Queens Gambit, and Ollie being on the island created Deathstroke)
Season 3 of Arrow? Malcolm
Legends of Tomorrow? Malcolm
over half of the Arrowverse conflict is direct result of Malcolm being an evil mother fucker
Can't wait to find out that Malcom is actually Zoom
The only multi-episode villain who wasn't Malcolm's fault was Brick, and he created Malcolm.
I really liked the more Flash parts of the episode, but having not watched Arrow outside of the first few episodes of Season 1 and the last Flash crossover...is Arrow relationship stuff always this bad? I mean, it brought the show immensely down when it occured and felt so out of place. At least with yesterday's episode all of the STAR Labs stuff felt natural and didn't really affect the main storyline too much, but man. This was just eh.
Overall, the action in this episode was better since it was the climax but the B-Plot was really bad.

Felicity is a necessary evil.
Without her we would have even worse Ollie relationship drama.
It would be a really lame twist if the grave is for Ollies baby mama though.
Nobody gives a shit if she lives or dies.
Killing off his son would be too much for a CW show. Well I think anyway, I don't watch any of the vampire shows, maybe crazier shit happens in them.

The logic in the relationship shit flat out makes zero sense unless Felicity is really, really horrible person. I'm pretty sure she'd be quite understanding and sympathetic given the shit Moira did. Samantha had zero grounds to make any sort of demands and it makes less sense that Oliver would agree to it or at the very least keep it from the people he's close to. Them creating some CW conflict/drama largely ruined the episode for me.
They took something that got some people hyped for two years and shit all over it.

I can buy their souls finding one another in a new lifetime... But why do they look literally the same in each lifetime?
Also, love that revolving door callout.

It can be. Actually, it can be much worse (much of season 3). They've actually shown a shocking amount of restraint in this "Oliver has a son" plot, aside from the unfortunate decision to pursue it to begin with.
(That doesn't save the Samantha character from behaving completely unreasonably, seemingly only because the writers wanted more Olicity drama.)

Eugh, Felicity violating Oliver's secret about his kid is really fucking uncool.
He specifically told her he'd tell her when he figured it out.
Seriously, this drama is fucking bullshit. Fuck off, Felicity. That is such garbage.

WOWWWWWW THEY FAILED HORRIBLY AND NOW THE HAWK PEOPLE ARE DEAD

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
The Egypt parts were SUPER cheesy. Only so much you can do on CW budget, but I had to chuckle at the entire Hawkman & Hawkgirl plot.
Overall, I thought Part 1 was stronger but it was a much better crossover than last year, and two fun episodes of Flash and Arrow.
I would love it if we got another crossover this year, that wasn't held up by having to setup Legends of Tomorrow.
I was a little disappointed that Dhark didn't show up again. He was fun in the first part. I wonder if they're going to deal with him in the next episode.

I'm assuming that's just us seeing things through the filter of Kendra's perception. She sees them the same across lifetimes, even if they don't actually look the same.

Lol the Greek spoken in this episode was fine by hawk man, but what in the heck did hawk girl say? Maybe it's another language and I misheard
Edit: they just Google translated it I just looked it up haha A for effort

He could have process all he want , it was him lying that was the problem .
Just tell her and say you need some time, processing does not equal lying
And after all of that even after time get rest he still do it again .
Making have us to go over this nonsense again fuck these CW writers .
EDIT having barry doing the DNA test which is stuff that she would normal do .
Shows he was willing to keep it secret for no reason and this is the woman he living\wants to marry lol.
He looks eerily like a cross between Jai Courtney and Channing Tatum. And hot as hell.

I've been sceptical about Legends of Tomorrow but this two-parter is giving be a better feeling. Vandal Savage is pretty intimidating as a villain and Hawkduo is working better then I expected.
Apparently Stephanie Corneliussen, the creepy woman from Mr. Robot will be Valentina Vostok which means both villains come from Copenhagen. Hannibal was also born there, it's a supervillain hotspot.

This is why Felicty definitely isn't going to be the one who dies. CW shows have a lot of love triangles and there is no reason to end one between Olliticty and Ollie's baby mama. This will play out through season 5.

I thought the relationship stuff would have corrected itself at the end of the episode, but Oliver didn't learn a fucking thing. What the hell.

They did it. They killed Felicity, just like we all wanted.
And then Barry ruins it. Thanks, Barry.

I don't understand why communication is so hard for these characters. When Felicity was bitching at Oliver for not telling her about his son in the first timeline, it would've been so easy for Ollie to fix. He could've just told the truth and said, "I didn't want to tell you until I was sure. That's why I went to Barry to do the test first. And then after I found out that the kid is my son, his mom told me that if I told anyone, even you, I wouldn't be allowed to see him again."
And even in the current timeline, when Felicity inevitably finds out about the kid, I just know Ollie's not going to tell her the, "His mom told me that if I told anyone, even you, I wouldn't be allowed to see him again," part.
But I guess that wouldn't create drama.

Maybe I am only one but... I really laughed hard because I did not expect to see Green Allow to be blown to the skeleton like that.Take 1
Take 2
Great episode than yesterday's.
The best 20 seconds of this show.
