So does Olivers no killing policy work like Barry's indifference to killing metas from a different earth but just on a smaller scale ? It's totally ok so long as it's another city

I'll be honest, I expected to not like the new BC or the new episode. Especially after last week's episode I thought that like the last two seasons, the second half quality shift had begun.
But they really surprised me with how good an episode this was. Flashbacks were great, the team was not cringy and actually quite fun as well as useful, and the new Black Canary was fantastic!
I'm pretty happy right now. And the previous night Legends was great as well.

I'm not really on board with Talia's accent...

It doesn't sound like the accent of someone that lives in Nanda Parbat; located in Pakistan according to wikipedia (in the DC universe)

It just doesn't ring true. You can tell she's putting it on. Nyssa's was much better.

What did Oliver mean at the end when he said "Dinah" was the reason he sought out this new canary? I know the reference to the comic, but it was Laurel Lance in the TV-verse, wasn't it? And that was Thalia Al'Goul, right?
What am I missing?

Laurel's full name was Dinah Laurel Lance. Tommy says it at the end of the very first episode.

Did he just use a mini bean bag/punching arrow? Haha that was pretty funny but also I expected it to be a bit bigger not ridiculous like in the comics. And what does this mean for Felicity? Will she be becoming a super hero?

Where the hell has Thea been lately? That's two episodes without her now. I hope they aren't writing her out of the show.

I know right! Im also really confused to where some characters are like Susan, Oliver's girlfriend. Im sure they probably don't fit in the plot at the moment and probably both of them will be a part of an episode so I'm pretty certain Thea won't be written out though.

Wow. I thought this episode would be awful, but so far we have Big Belly Burger, Barry Cameo, Tahlia, and a Black Canary done right.

That Barry Cameo made no sense hahaha. Of all the times Barry could show up, he showed up for that?

So was kinda butt hurt about the whole Laurel thing but definitely somewhat over it after 511. 5b is really starting to look promising
