Oliver: "BARRY! HELP! A Flock of Seagulls just kidnapped Felicity, my sister, and Diggle, and is about to kill them all! We need you!"
Barry: "Sorry, dude, my long-lost half-step-brother just showed up at Joe's Christmas get-together, and it's pretty awkward, so my plate's kinda full at the moment. Best of luck, though, and I'll mail you some of our cookies if you like."

I thought we'd all agreed the person in the grave was Laurel. Right??
Right. Good.
I could see them doing something like...
Felicity: Isn't she the meta you and Barry investigated last year? The one with the mystical totem that gives her animal powers?
Diggle: Wait, when was this?
Ollie: It's a long story.
That would be incredibly lame. The
Agent Carter series writers quite rightly didn't bother squaring their show with the previous one-shot, and neither should the
Arrow writers sweat Vixen's one-shot. (Which I tried to watch, but the animation was just too crap-looking.)
I found it a bit hard to believe that she somehow managed to get all shot up and Ollie didn't get nicked, even though he was lying on top of her and then even more exposed while taking control of the car.
That magic tattoo he's got obviously repels bullets. At some point he's going to use its spell for real, and he'll be shot dead the very next episode.
Is nobody commenting on the fact that Malcom just became irredeemable evil again by helping Randal Savage (somehow) back to life presumably and thereby causing doom for the entire world and making the Legends team necessary in the first place?
Well, Ollie
did have that moment at the end of the third season saying he'd never forgive Malcolm for the evil stuff he's done. (Doesn't seem to mean he can't tolerate him being around and helping out, however. And it didn't stop him from keeping up his end of the bargain to make him Rha's.)
... Anyone else laugh when he told that woman "My mother was a complicated person, but she would never have bribed a pregnant fling of mine to bugger off?" He's talking about the woman who helped kidnap her own son and husband and aided a plot to destroy a large chunk of the city, right?
It's time, once again, for some
AV Clubbers' snark!
