And it's not as if we aren't getting an entire crossover predicated on that concept in a couple months. But to be fair, it's entirely possible that formula would grow repetitive very quickly. "Welcome to Hong Kong" is a relatively underwhelming followup to "Starling City." It's a shame the season couldn't run with the idea of Ollie hopping to parallel Earths and meeting alternate versions of familiar characters a little longer.
