Any ideas of how that Archer program that Felicity creates, deals with the creation of Galaxy that apparently takes over and ruins Star City? My guess would be; that friend of Felicitys', Alena, will steal Archer and sell it or use it to create Galaxy etc.

I also have a crazy theory, and that's what if the big bad of Star City 2040 is none other than Archer itself? I'm probably wrong, but the way the ep ended and everything, it just feels like something similiar from "Terminator" or "I, Robot". We know that Felicity has just made a significent upgrade to Archer, and there's a chance she (or maybe Alena) will continue upgrading it to the point where it becomes an Artificial Intelligence that becomes sentient. Maybe at some point it does the whole Terminator-Skynet thing and turns against Felicity. Being a computer, and considering that everything nowadays is done electriconically, Archer would have no problem setting up a company that becomes Galaxy, and does everything from behind the scenes so that no one knows who/what it is. As for why it's trying to destroy Star City, that could be down to its programming. Archer is a security program that Felicity designed to keep people safe, which it technically is still doing by protecting The Glades, and it sees Star City as a threat due to all its criminal elements.
