She is also a practitioner of Parkour and Tricking. quote:In 2011, Lotz starred as Officer Kirsten Landry, one of the main characters in the MTV horror, black comedy mockumentary series Death Valley.

The scary pirate captain asked Ollie if he noticed if the skeletons he found were malformed in some way, I wonder if that is somehow related to the serum that Bro Blood is using?

Also, it might just be me but IMO Amell is amazing in this show. He manages to pull off 'emotionally dead inside survivor scared to begin living again' in one scene and as soon as it goes to the island he's instantly 'spoiled rich kid trying to hide behind tough facade'. And that was just back in the first season. The scene in this last episode where he's trying to keep information from the captain but the captain is just "This is the right island  " is just amazing.And just look at him when he's talking to Canary in the hospital.

To add a little context to that, he has greatly improved since the start of the show, which as we all mostly agree was kinda goofy and awkward.

Yeah but considering Diggle who is ex-military is shown to barely be able keep up half the time even with his level of training Laurel would be way out of her weight class. Everybody that's been up to par has had at least two years worth of implied mysterious hellish training, with Roy acting as the poster child for just being competent isn't enough to pull it off. I think they have made too much of a point for it to come off as believable in the world they have made so I'm not buying it's a done deal especially if Sara continues to work so well in the show, she might get a Pinkman save.

So is there many here who think Lance knows? I've been re-watching season 1 and looking for clues. Episode 14, at the end when Oliver asks if there was any blood sample results after his mother shot him. Lance says "There was a screw up at the lab" and kinda walks off in a huff. Seems a bit too convenient.

Queue training montage between Laurel and Ollie after her sister dies (for the last time), at the end of which Ollie gently places Black Canary's domino mask over Laurel's eyes.

Laurel doesn't have to learn to fight. She can sneak up on people and bash them on the head while they're wondering why she's wearing fishnets to a fight.

Strangers become friends, friends become BFF's, BFF's become frenemies, frenemies become nemeses. I could give a bollocks about Starling City. All Island, all the time.

Very next episode Lance is talking to Detective McKenna about catching the Vigilante while Oliver is with her and he looks at Oliver with a very knowing and smug look.

Well it's not like Laurel would have to pick up the outfit and immediately become a badass? Seems pretty reasonable for the show that Laurel could feel an obligation to take up the cause, but really suck at it and have to learn over time.

I really do respect that Roy isn't suiting up and hopping on rooftops yet. The writers are absolutely right that showing a rookie kicking rear end would take away from Oliver's own five year training journey.
