Tune in with Turner

This episode gave us some backstory on John Diggle.  The story gave us interesting insights  into John's past, and was perfectly  executed by both David Ramsey and  Ernie Hudson.   I would like to see more of these two on screen. It might have been nice to see them back in season  one or  two.  We  also learn more about Felicity's Archer Program, and of  course we see everything moving  swiftly  towards the end  of season 7 and then end of Emily Bett Rickards as  Felicity Smoak. I'm still hoping that she'll guest star at least once in  season 8, don't you?  Well, let's dig in.    John and General Stewart:  John kept a secret from Felicity and Oliver. Did that surprise you?  It did  me a little bit. Although this  story line is very compelling and  certainly well acted, it seems like it would have been  better served  if  we had  gotten even just ...

Recap from Part 1:  Felicity had arranged with Watson to see Oliver.  She needed to tell him about the miscarriage she had.  Oliver and she grieved for the child that both would have wanted.  On the way back to prison, Watson has a confession of her own:  "Oliver, I hate to admit this, but the FBI has not made any headway in locating Diaz.  In fact, Felicity telling us about the contact Diaz has with Werner Zytel, was the first we'd heard of anything about him.  Oliver, I hate to say this, but we need the help of your team, and frankly, I think we need you.  Will you help us?"

Watson proceeded down the road back to the prison in silence for a couple of miles before saying,  "I will arrange for a trusted...

      I have mixed emotions about the finale. After it aired last night, I would have said, it was not the best finale nor the worst.  I took the time to re-watch it on the CW app and then I've mulled it over nearly most of the morning and I can see something that the writers and Stephen Amell said about it.  They  said that if we went back to season one we would understand the ending.  I think I  can see  what they were saying.    This, readers, is the most difficult review to write.       Right away the action starts when the Green Arrow comes into the police station with the FBI.  The action packed fighting engages the viewer immediately.  Because it starts so intensely, we know that what lies ahead of us  shall be equally intense.  We find out that Oliver has made a deal with Samanda Watson.  All the team including Felicity gets immunity from prosecution.  Felicity walks in and s...
