- What was the overall theme for this episode / What was the link to the ep. name
- “Star City 2046” (Chris start us off)
- No hidden message – just a grim Star City of an alternate future!
- Fight scenes & Stunts: Share your thoughts (Lobster first then Neil)
- Great fight scenes – Ollie and Connor v. Deathstroke.
- Very different fighting styles
- Thugs galore
- Warehouse fight where they lose connor
- Climactic Fight With old Ollie
- Time Travel: Share your thoughts (Neil then Chris)
- The crew not understanding how time travel works is the biggest problem with the entire episode. None of anything that was happening should have mattered!!!!
- What would have happened if they left Sara, and then the timeline reverted.
- Ollie!!
- Goatee and one arm – how freaking awesome was that
- Love the ATOM tech in the cybernetic arm. Funko, make this happen.
- Connor Hawke!
- John Diggle Junior – not canon, but good tweak
- Deathstroke – Grant Wilson
- Pretty much a badass
- Took Ollie’s arm
- Rip Hunter
- For a time master, he’s not good at explaining how time steam works
- The Atom – Ray Palmer
- Start of the romance element
- White Canary – Sara Lance
- Calls Rip on chaning the timeline for selfish purposes
- Hawkgirl – Kendra Saunders
- Captain Cold – Leonard Snart
- You’re not the boss of me – “Actually I am”
- Damn – that was not the right line to use
- Cold cocks Heatwave
- Heatwave – Mick Rory
- In his element
- Living the dream – plan to take out the other thieves and criminals
- Just wants to see the world burn. That sums up the character, and right there defines the difference in Heatwave and Capt. Cold
- Firestorm – Professor Martin Stein
- Not good at giving love advice
- Firestorm – Jefferson Jackson
- Waverunner/Gideon
- N/A
- The crew not understanding how time travel works is the biggest problem with the entire episode. None of anything that was happening should have mattered!!!!

ARROW NEWS:
- Kevin Smith knows how he would bring Onomatopeia to Arrow (Date: xx June 2016)
Onomatopoeia has a very distinct look and quirk in the comics, which might not translate to TV that well. That doesn’t mean Kevin Smith hasn’t thought about how to make it work.
Link:http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/tv/arrow/41888/arrow-season-5-exclusive-kevin-smith-talks-onomatopoeia - Former WWE superstar Cody Rhodes (Stardust) to appear on Arrow (Date: 02 July 2016)
*Confirmed during a panel at Heroes & Villains FanFest in New Jersey Stephen
* Rhodes added that, “You can probably expect Stephen and I to get into another fight.”
* No further details about who he’ll play were revealed,
* He’ll first show up in episode three.

Stephen Amell said “sure” in response to a question about Flashpoint impacting Arrow, adding “you bet” when someone followed up by asking, “majorly?” Needless to say, that’s all pretty vague, but with the internet being what it is, it predictably didn’t take long for his comments to be turned into the actor confirming that the events of The Flash would end up having an affect on Arrow. Now, Amell has taken to Facebook to make it clear that Arrow will NOT definitely be affected by Flashpoint in a major way, stating: “Actually I sarcastically said “sure”… And then I seriously said, “I have no idea whatsoever”

* fans were not happy with the execution, instantly zeroing in on Spartan’s head attire and its close resemblance to the helmet worn by a certain X-Men villain.
*David Ramsey thought the design should be a little different as well,
* new look will be constructed by S.T.A.R. Labs’ Cisco Ramon

At Heroes & Villains FanFest in New Jersey, Amell shared his thoughts on Olicity: “I was chatting with a couple of fans earlier and they were saying there hasn’t been a lot of positivity and reassuring notions when it comes to Oliver and Felicity’s relationship,” he said. “I think that it’s important to remember that relationships on the show don’t have to be only defined by romance. Oliver and Felicity could have a wonderful, fulfilling, dynamic relationship and not be together, right?”
