Tune in with Turner

Felicity took a cup of coffee out to the front porch of her cabin in the forest to watch Mia collect fireflies.  Mia would be five in about six months, and Felicity thought how lonely this time would be if she had not had her.  Her mind drifted to William.  He didn't know he had parents who loved him desperately, nor did he know he had a little sister.  What kind of brother would he have been? She felt certain he would be a protective older brother. She smiled when she thought that Mia would be a bossy little sister.  Her thoughts drifted toward  her husband, but she pulled them away; thinking of him was too hard. She called for Mia and told her,"time to get ready for bed."  "One more minute, Mommy, please?"  But Felicity encouraged her to come, and  Mia began to release the fireflies she had collected. "Why are you letting them go, Mia?" "Well, Mommy," she began, they are my watchman,  they are my, what were you once, Mommy?" ...

    We got to see Oliver and Felicity have their baby!  I'm still hoping to see the whole birth from first labor pain until delivery in 801, please Beth, don't let me down!  Two great episodes  back to back, and  I'm enjoying it, are you?  We learn quite a bit in this episode, so are you ready, let's dig in.                Legacy: Mia, Willam, and Connor: I totally believe that Star City 2040 lays the groundwork for a spin-off with Mia, Connor, and William.  Arrow's Odyssey like story is about more than one man trying to go home and save his  city from destruction.  It's about legacy, and what we leave behind.  Oliver did not think  he could  have a  "normal" life because of  he danger he's constantly put in trying to save his city, his home.  Oliver's come a  long way because he had to learn that saving the city is  not the only goal.  His goal is t...

      I'm stepping out on a limb here, my friends, to say that I believe the flash-forwards are a huge misdirect.  Beth has said the future is fixed.  There will be no Legends coming to take people back in time to fix all that has gone wrong in Star City.  Season 7 has been the darkest of all the seasons so far.  As I will be stating in my review, Arrow by its very nature is dark, so when Oliver knocked on the door this IT girl, and with her quirky behavior, she made him smile a genuine smile, it added light that the show needed.  The flash-forwards are very dark.  They almost seem hopeless.  The Vigilantes that Oliver started are blamed for the mess in Star City; Felicity is dead; Oliver is not mentioned at all, or when he is, it's always in the past tense. This leads the viewer to believe Oliver is dead. He and Felicity didn't raise their children together, there seems to be no team at all, so what's the point?  If all is tha...
