I really really doubt Roy will be the Sara's killer. Hear my theory out, due the Sara's death scene, there was a clear sound effect of someone drawing the bow, the same sound effect any archer has before shooting. Now Roy was specifically seen 'throwing' the arrows, which wouldn't result in the same sound effect. These guys had been producing this show with pretty fine detail so I don't think they will make a mistake like this.
My theory on Roy's nightmare is that this is some form of memory implanting/repressed, or maybe even going the Young Justice route, that Roy is actually a clone and has been mind controlled by Vandal Savage. I'm hoping for the latter
As for the episode, this feels like a heavy setup episode for future arcs, brother eye with the OMAC from previous episode. I kept wondering when Felicity asked Ray about his inventions, with regards to her own Brother Eye virus and that Ray thinks they are the best ones. Do you think he is referring to OMAC himself? Maybe when Ray wasn't a billionaire yet, he had to invent robotics for QC but it turns out they can do great evil, now he is back to destroy those inventions?
Rest of the episode was meh, it was nicely produced, but the writing, continuity with the season just doesn't seem to be there. The references I mentioned before, if true, could've been done in many storyline. Do I feel different about Felicity as a character? Not really, not compare to other flashbacks done for other characters, which I come out feeling the character has evolved or had a clearer understanding of.
I actually prefer the speedy progress of Laurel, I have seen Arrow, Canary, and their journey/crucible, and they are actually quite familiar to each other in a thematical sense. So unless they do something different with Laurel's journey, like maybe spin-off with flashbacks to Sara doing her training in LoA and draw a parallel to Laurel's training. Basically what I'm saying is, if you can't do something interesting, don't drag it out please.
As I said, a heavy setup episode, maybe it is needed, for Brother Eye, linking to OMAC, maybe Felicity's father is related to HIVE, or Vandal Savage
7.5/10 - for the sheer hope that these setups are needed.
EDIT: Also I find it interesting that they are calling Brother Eye a virus, which in the comics is actually more of an AI satellite created by Batman, which controls and commands OMAC, which is created from a human by injecting a virus into them. Also the forgettable villain was working with the government, maybe Checkmate? or ARGUS? was related to him?
