I didn't enjoy this episode as much as I have the past few. This felt more like a table-setting episode, putting certain pieces (Lyla) in place.

I know the comic book reason why Roy had to lose his arm, but it certainly seemed there were other options to save it. I mean Laurel was right there. Surely she has enough control of her powers to use them to blast the plane parts that had pinned him.

Yeah I thought they also definitely didn't think of everything to save Roy's arm. And also, was the budget all going to Crisis stuff? There was no canary cry this whole episode.

I can't remember, but was Roy in the 2040 plot missing an arm??
