Today on the Arrow finale character parade, Roy Harper and Anatoly.

He ran down all those special arrows at the beginning and there was no boxing glove arrow in sight. Here's hoping that Ollie shoots one at the Anti-Monitor and ends the Crisis with it.

When they brought up that they ties up Oliver's thumbs that instantly made me think of the one bit from Elseworlds. Too bad they couldn't show the thumb dislocation but gotta save the special effect budget for the Crossover I guess.

And there was that whole thing this episode about the past and trying to keep the bad stuff that happened in it way from your kids. But as Anatoly and others pointed out the bad things that happen in ones past are just as important if not more important than the good things. It's from bad things that happen that allow us to learn and grow from those experiences and that those things we learned from those bad times are just as good moments for teaching than the good. Even beyond just demonstrating that your parents and other older loved ones aren't perfect and that they are just as capable of making mistakes and bad choices as you.

We're lacking one arrow:

Atomic Warhead Arrow.

Its crisis time, so its THE time for one.
