It was like an hour later? If even that? E2 should've been all red skies and storms by the time Oliver got there.

What's to say the atmospheric conditions of each Earth would be the same as Earth-1 when everything comes crashing to collapse?

They're going to address Earth-2 next week.

What's the bet that Team Flash will address Harry & Jessie by saying "we haven't heard from them, but we're sure they got out to another Earth somewhere in the multiverse", or "we've heard from Harry and Jessie, they weren't on E2 when it disappeared."

 

[vantheman77]

Pretty likely on the exposition.

[Dark Raven]

Although she's from Earth 2 originally, she's spent more time on Earth 1 in the past few years so she shouldn't have too much trouble adjusting. How much attachment to Earth 2 did she have?

 

[flickchick85]

If I spent a few years away from home, I’d still be distraught if that home and everyone else who lived there were obliterated.

She spent 3 years on E1? Sure she wont have trouble adjusting back to E1 but she went home to find herself and right her wrongs so its going to hurt that she couldn't do anything to save her people. She'll never see Tommy/Adrian/Moira (they should've got a scene together)/etc... again.

 

[SV Fan]

As somebody who stays away from spoilers or teasers, etc. Is Felicity still on this season. 2 Episodes and all we get is flash backs. Personally I like not having her on the show I find it makes it better(although I can live without the flashbacks) but is this thing going to be for the entire season? (it feels like she will come back for a handful of episodes near the end given they show feels the need to shove her into episodes with the flashbacks)

 

[Sithborg]

Emily Rickards said she wasn't. But I have a very, very tough time seeing her not popping up in the last episode.

 

[vantheman77]

Glad to see Katana back as well as the meeting between Monitor and Lyla.

 

[Slick]

Yeah imo it was a really strong episode.

 

[Flash525]

Good to see Kitana back, but I didn’t quite get Ollie’s mission in this. The Monitor wanted Ollie to bring that Doctor to him, why not just go see the Doctor himself?

He’s essentially a God, capable of teleporting anywhere, and he needs a human to go around collecting people and items?

Edit I’m genuinely thinking Diggle dies via Crisis too. He hasn’t appeared in a single flash forward.

 

[WhoMani]

Another good episode. Glad to see Katana back and I do hope that she will come back for Arrow's final episode. I am curious about Lyla's involvement with The Monitor and whether she's even from Earth 1. I'm surprised that China White survived this long, she's almost unkillable.

He’s essentially a God, capable of teleporting anywhere, and he needs a human to go around collecting people and items?

Even Diggle questioned on why the Monitor wants Oliver to do these missions as he's almost a God and could have easily gotten Doctor Wong with the snap of his fingers.. I'm sure later this season we will get answers on why the Monitor can't or/and won't directly get involve.

Yes he does...he does it in the comics too. I honestly suggest you go back and read it this stuff is all in line with what Crisis originally was.

I’m very much a watcher, not a reader (except for here in the forums); I’ve never read a single comic, though I know bits and pieces about them through reading up about them online and getting insight through other people.

 

[dhandler01]

I hear ya. And please dont think I was trying to be a dick or anything I can see where my post may have seemed condescending.

 

[Flash525]

Haha, nah, not at all. I get where you’re coming from, there’s just a lot of comics to read, and I take more in through visual storytelling such as tv shows and films than comics.

 

[Dark Raven]

The flash forward stuff is boring. Imagine a whole spin-off like that.

I'm guessing Monitor is one of the beings Lyla made a deal with after surviving Afghanistan.

Still no word about Harry Wells and Jessie. Are we going to find out about them?

Also, are there no more individual threads for each episode now?

 

[Flash525]

Harry and Jessie are very much Flash characters, and neither Ollie nor Diggle have been in a position to inform Barry what has transpired on Earth-2 as of yet.

I’m sure it’ll get a mention, though maybe not until Team Flash is aware that Earth-2 has been lost; it’s a revelation that’ll no doubt hit the team hard, especially considering how close they (team flash) was to Harry and Jessie.

Also, are there no more individual threads for each episode now?

Flash still does, as do the other heroes. I doubt Ollie will have any more episodic villains to deal with as this season only has ten episodes, there’s not enough time for fillers. Non Crisis storylines seem to be taking place in that pointless future with Mia and co.

I didn't mean episodic villains for Arrow. I meant are we only discussing individual episodes in the general thread now instead of in threads dedicated to each individual episode. There were none created for episode 2 or 3 etc for season 8.

I can, which is why imagination is as far as I am going with it! Literal wasted time better spent on Oliver and the Crisis story line.

Oh, my bad, and I guess so? We’ve only 7episodes to go anyway, maybe there’s no real purpose for specific threads. We all know where this is (more or less) going now anyway.

 

[WhoMani]

I'm assuming that the Flash Forwards are there to set up the spin off which I don't think is necessary and I personally don't care about what happens to the rest of the future characters as they're all so bland.

 

[SV Fan]

Don't get me wrong I am glad she is not on this season but you think she would say to herself this is my last chance for a good payday

I think it has t do with testing the heroes. That appears to be the Monitor's mission getting the heroes ready for the Crisis and seeing if they can succeed.

 

[vantheman77]

I think the Monitor is testing out to see who is worthy to be part of his team to take down the Anti-Monitor.
