Fun episode. Nice to see Michael Emerson again since Person of Interest ended. Go figure, he's playing a computer guy here.

I hate Black Siren. I just want to punch her every time I see her.

Here we go again with Olicity. But Emily Bett has been looking really good lately. Looks like she's growing out her hair longer too.

I knew Oliver was on the lost island.

Thank you Felicity for saving the internet.

Holy shit, the tech-speak in this episode was classic.

I thought this was the best Arrow episode yet this season. I don't mind Felicity and Oliver together, it was how they handled it before that ruined the show.

Michael Emerson is a great casting for that role. I was surprised he showed up on a CW series. The producers must have bent the budget to snag him.

Knowing how networks operate, it does appear to me like Arrow's showrunners are testing how audiences respond to Oliver in a far diminished role. It's worked so far because the writing has improved a bit.

Wasn't really a fan of this episode but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood to watch it,. Thankfully there is no William this week. Michael Emerson was a huge get, so hopefully he isn't wasted. I know I'm in the minority but I kind of like Black Siren.

Enjoyed this one w the Olicity reversal. Worked pretty well. Interested to see how the writers play out the season. Looking forward to Deathstroke next week.

It's almost as if they had no plans for Oliver after season 5...

Really surprised Emerson is willing to do a CW show, but I'm glad to see him here if only for a few episodes. Now if they would only get rid of all versions of Laurel for good.

So far the getting Oliver and Felicity back together is going well. Wish I could have confidence that will last.

I'm actually surprised they haven't tried going to flashbacks with Black Siren. We have no real idea how on her Earth she became a supervillain and why she diverged so badly from our Laurel. A great show would build up her backstory as it affected the current story line.

One nice development has been showing the new Black Canary in battle using her vocal powers. They had no idea what to show when Laurel was running around with that power.

Yeah, except that neither seems to be able to use their scream more than once per battle.

Re: Arrow (S6E04) -- "Reversal" -- 11/2/17

Why do two metas from two different Earth's have the same power? It would be kind of cool if they could make a connection between Black Siren and Black Canary. Maybe they're related? It would really add to the story...

I think it's dead obvious that Black Siren gives birth to the new Black Canary in some future timeline and due to a conflict involving the Legends of Tomorrow, leaves the baby in our past as an orphan.

Cue the dramatic reveal when future Black Siren tells us who the father is...

Spoiler:
Our Oliver Queen


I think I may have just spoiled next year's crossover plot. This time I do want royalties, Arrow producers.

Actually it's Connor who's the father, since we already saw Connor in LoT.

We saw from Breacher and Gypsy that on their particular Earth their powers seem to be inherited, which also means that they existed before the STAR labs accelerator explosion.

So Sisko is dating his sister?

Cousin..maybe

I was referring to the fact that all Earths have a speedsters. Barry/Wally - Earth 1; Zoom/Jessie Quick - Earth 2; Jay - Earth 3; That Hermes or Mercury guy from Gypsy's Earth. Probably a bunch of people how can freeze things too.

Yes, but the speedsters are unique as metas because the source of their power is from the Speed Force.

All so confusing.
