Yeah, from what I was just watching of the current episode (which I had to stop because Mia bugs me that much), must be Black Siren Laurel. (Although I guess she knew A Sara back in the day? Seems like they would want to talk at some point, but I admit to not knowing that whole story.)
I was indeed Black Siren Laurel. Didn't like her new look, BTW. Didn't like Dinah's new look. Didn't like the casual mention of Cisco being able to duplicate J'onn's Martian powers with tech*, and didn't like that tech being used to
*Not really a spoiler since it's not a significant plot point.
**Okay, that might be a spoiler. I'm kind of in a bad mood, so I don't care. But...fixed it.
Also, while this is a very small issue, someone should have directed Katie Cassidy how to pronounce J'onn J'onzz correctly. (John Jones, not John Johns. The latter make him sound like a pair of pajamas. I don't expect her to have known necessarily since he's not on her show, but that was a failing by the director or other high up member of the crew.)

I took that to be her nickname for him, rather than mis-pronunciation. It's very common for lots of people to call others by what's not either the correct pronunciation or purposefully changing it up. Don't think this was the director or actor's mistake. It is a bit odd when her character hasn't interacted with him before, but hey, this is Earth Prime, so they could have a whole history where she calls him John Johns.

I'm not sure I was a fan of the 2040 Star City turning into a utopia rather than a distopia. Sounds like it will get there, but liked the old version of the future better (but glad Zoe is alive again).
Day after ratings of the episode were better than any other episode of the season excepting Crisis, so good odds this will make it to full series pickup. If it does, I wonder if they're re-introduce flashbacks, so in 2040 they'll show what happened some in 2020 post Oliver.
I'm sure if it does get picked up, the questions about 2020, how and why Dinah got to 2040 and why there's no mention of her...is accurate.
With regards to Sara and Laurel Earth 2...my feeling is Sara doesn't quite CONNECT with a different version of her sister than the one that a) didn't have super powers and b) had a stronger moral stance in some ways.
But that's just me.
Mostly I'm curious to see if the main villain MIGHT be a certain Queen family member that may or may not be alive now...

Note, if you're interested in the finale next week, it's preceded by a special "Arrow: Hitting the Bullseye" with cast interviews, etc. If you use a DVR, you'll want to add it, since it's not part of the actual Arrow series.
The pre-show was unfortunately weak. I had hoped for more longer interviews with cast and creators, rather than little snippets mixed with old footage (some old footage would make sense, but this was really just mostly footage with tiny bits of interview snippets).

The actually finale was great though. I loved that they actually did it to wrap things up with his funeral rather than had some huge big threat. (sure they had a bit of action and a threat, but it really was just an excuse to re-visit some themes for some of the characters). It was lots of fun seeing everyone turn out and get some info on how things had changes in the Arrow corner of Earth-Prime.
Definitely eager to see if they've set up some characters to show up on other shows as they strongly hinted. And what an awesome way to end 6+ years of teases and Easter eggs!
I'm looking forward to seeing Mia/Green Arrow and the Canaries soon.
