John Diggle and Flashpoint
Since the Flash is on tonight, I've been thinking a lot about the Flashpoint episode the repercussions of Barry going, yet again, back in time. In season 4 episode 8 Barry tells Oliver, "When I mess with time, it doesn't end well." You would think the boy would learn, but when matter's of the heart are at stake, Barry doesn't listen to his head, does he? So, in Flashpoint, Barry's time travel affected John Diggle, and in way Felicity, because she knows what Barry did. David Ramsey did reveal a little insight into his character's dilemma, when he said, "I can't miss something I never had." He never knew baby Sara the way we did, and he only has his son, John, now, so he has vaild point. Does that mean Barry will stay in the current time line, and there will never be a baby Sara? Also, I understand from those who watch Legends of Tomorrow, that John had a son who becomes the next Green Arrow, Connor Hawke.
If anything, I think Diggle will be upset with Barry for not being in control, because John likes to feel in control. He's not only tormented that he killed his own brother, but also because lost control over himself. That fact that Andy would never change, or that he would ever be the man John wanted him to be, doesn't matter. He lost control over the man he wanted to to be for himself. When we last left Diggle he was ready to die for his sins He saw Deadshot, because he always accused him of killing Andy. In the end, it was John.
So, where was Felicity in that episode? Was she in the picture at all? If you know, clue me in, because I don't watch that show. Does this mean that the timeline Barry created in Flashpoint is the one that stays throughout Arrow's history? Let me know your thoughts. I guess it will be fun to watch.
