Arrow: so, is Felicity's dress a Power Girl shout-out? It's making me giggle.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I am an old fogie 'cause my main reaction to her dress was "that shit is unprofessional! Put the cleavage away!"

Oh, totally unprofessional, but still making me giggle.
As is all the teasing at Barry Allen's origin story (mother's murder, taxi pulling away, lightning storm while he's handling chemicals).
I'm such a damn nerd.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are they implying that Jay Garrick killed Barry Allen's father?

Huh. Moira said that guy's name! Ra'z something. Liam Neeson! (Don't look at me. I don't know anything about DC Comics).
I was weird seeing Oliver totally pwn'd in a fight. Poor stunt person! That looked like it hurt. Also, while I liked Barry, I was a bit cranky at how Felicity was all we need Barry for this and for that, when she was previously (totally unrealistically) capable of doing all sorts of chemical and biological analyses all by her own self.

I was totally wondering that, unless it was supposed to be...whatshisname Thawne. Reverse Flash. (Who was maybe Barry Allen's secret twin, taken away at birth? I'm a little dodgy on his origin story.)
John Barrowman? STILL THE PRETTIEST.

How much do I love them for that scene with the chemicals and the lightning? This much. I swear it's almost exactly the scene I remember from the comic.

YES! I was burbling about that to Tim when he came home (he missed most of it) (and doesn't actually know anything about the Flash other than "runs fast; the animated version is voiced by Lex Luthor").

I'm just saying, when it comes to storytelling in a limited-time format, like an episode of a TV show, expediency is going to play a role. And I still argue that the fact of the baby trumps how the baby came into the world, especially if it would mean using script time to explain a birthing stool, for instance.
They could do it like that product placement in Alias! "Quick! Get in the Ford F150on the birthing stool!"
Yes, I was thinking about this STILL in the car on the way home. In my defense, I've had more ridiculously nit-picking and obsessive thoughts.
I'm not sure why I allow myself to wince and twitch.
I mean, I'm watching a show where Katrina's a Quaker Witch who shops at Hot Topic, and Ichabod is a man of elevated station sporting some seriously taboo facial hair. BUT STILL! I WINCE AND TWITCH! Were they not so snarky and fun, it would be the exact sort of thing I couldn't watch for wanting to throw my remote through the screen.
Oh, and the bling her ex gave her? And the one he WANTED to give her? SO TOTALLY NOT IN THE PERIOD STYLE, OMG.
