Oliver Queen takes a trip down memory lane in the sentimental yet surprisingly destructive season 8 premiere.
Actually, it starts exactly where that one began: with Oliver making it off of Lian Yu.

Unfortunately, theres some bad news: Thea died on her 18th birthday from a Vertigo overdose.
Oliver… whether right or wrong, everything Ive done has been to protect my children.
Its all a parent can do, she says before Oliver tearfully embraces her once again.
Of course, things are about to get weird for Oliver.
and that hes working with Laurel/Black Siren.
Well, Oliver quickly learns hes wrong.
And I dont mean Earth-2s Diggle.
I mean Earth-1 Diggle, who, with Felicity and Ciscos help, tracked Oliver to Earth-2.
In other words, hes planning his own Undertaking.
Diggle points out that Earth-2 isnt better off than Earth-1.
In fact, its clearly worse Thea is dead and Tommy is supervillain because Oliver wasnt there.
Anyway, Diggles pep talk works.
This time around, though, Oliver doesnt give a shot to kill the Dark Archer.
Turns out the crisis the Monitor wont shut up about is here sooner than we thought.
Overall, I liked the premiere.
That seems like something the Monitor couldve done for himself, unless theres a reason he couldnt.
