In response to TommyWizard 's thread about the last four episodes, I just hope the show picks up again in this final arc after what I thought was an utterly disappointing episode. No development on Prometheus, except for that last second cliffhanger that was so incredibly clichéd, I had put my money on exactly that being the result of the search, halfway through the episode.
Also, I know that Arrow rarely ever tries to make sense, but what about that super hightech program that can actually find heartbeats? Okay, let's assume that thing actually works; let's assume Felicity has access to satellites powerful enough to scan the whole city (I'm assuming the use of satellites here; they never said how the program actually worked) for something as faint as a heartbeat; now what I don't get is, how did that program know which heartbeat belongs to Chase?? Do they have his heartbeat on record? A heartbeat database? Does this take into account exertion, etc? Ugh! Just when you thought the show couldn't top BS like Felicity's magical hacking! (I swear, that woman sneezes on her keyboard, and she accidentally hacked the NSA!)
Meanwhile I actually appreciate the work they've been putting into establishing Helix at the next bad guys, instead of having them come out of nowhere at the end of the season, but I wish they wouldn't have put the Prometheus arc completely on hold for a whole ep for that. Plus, although I admit that this is wholly subjective, I've never liked any of their Argus storylines. The Suicide Squad stuff was cool, but that was only because of the characters like Deadshot. Waller, Lila, same BS!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding
