- TriviaThis is the lowest rated episode of the entire series.
- GoofsThe Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) heading for Star City is shown in powered flight complete with its initial stage 1 booster attached minutes from detonating. The 1st stage booster is ejected approximately 60 seconds after launch and the powered flight stage is complete by the time the warhead re-enters the atmosphere (after approximately 3 minutes after launch). At the point the ICBM could be seen by the residents of Star City it would be in it's ballistic phase (falling out the sky really fast) meaning Felicity and Curtis would not have been able to redirect it the way they did, the only way to stop it would have been to shoot it down.

How to Stop a Show from being a Disaster...Even with Horrid Writing
As I've tried to understand the freaky shows of the fourth season of the Arrow, I realized that the shows were much better than the last two seasons, but the writing was still poor.
What saved it? The producers, and more importantly...cash. And when I mean producers, I mean the heads of CW.
There was a lot of re-shooting through out the entire fourth season. Name an instance? Well...There was the scene when Oliver came back to the Arrow cave, after a capture. He asked for an update. Felicity says that Darke's "Hacker" was doing a dastardly deed. Considering that she was the "Hacker's" ex, she couldn't name Cooper?
This wasn't the first. Most of the critiques of this season's Arrow, all pointed to things that happen in re-shoots. Like when Felicity goes to an underground casino, and the next scene she, a non battle-tech, is in a totally different outfit? The same outfit that she was wearing when she was matching wits with Cooper?
There were lines that many characters would never have said. There were many lines that characters should not have known.
The good news? The fourth season was better paced than the second or third seasons. Editing...another sign of re-shooting.
Could the numerous criticisms of the show have reached the CW? Or was this just research groups noticing the banality of the writing? Or was this that many thought Arrow was soon to be gone? Or was this just to increase the presence of a fan favorite like Filicity?
Whatever. The shows were okay. Considering how bad the second and third season were, this was surprising.
