Remember that Blood is being funded by Slade. Sterling City has a history of people with $$ getting away with some pretty heinous things so it isn't a stretch to imagine that many people have been paid off or killed to get Blood whatever he wants. Excited for the Roy stuff going forward. I really enjoyed the Still going through the re-watch of season 1 with my husband and I really don't know HOW Detective Lance is still in the dark about the Arrow's identity. My guess is it is easier to stomach if he doesn't acknowledge that he knows anything. edit: for dumb posting. Funhilde fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 16, 2014 |

I agree and I think he's known pretty much since the beginning. There's been a lot of shots of Lance staring at Ollie for an extra second, or even looking obviously suspicious. I can't remember specific examples but there's also been a few lines that Lance delivered in an almost sarcastic way, suggesting that he knows what he's saying is bullshit(like talking about the vigilante while Ollie is standing right there).

VagueRant posted:Super Roy irks me. I kind of wish they would have had the balls to kill him off when he got injected. 'cause right now we've seen 3/4 mirakuru (just say miracle!x100) patients respond incredibly well to the ULTRA DEADLY KILL SERUM. Same. I'm predicting Roy finds out Ollie is Arrow, throws himself between him and Slade as Mr. Deathstroke goes in for the kill, and takes the wrath in his hero's stead. It'd simplify a lot of things, would have a meaningful impact, and certainly would move the plot forward.

At least the Oliver/Arrow connection is more tenuous than the Peter Parker/Spider-Man connection. Oliver has a lot more deniability.

Some Numbers posted:
The only thing for me that ruins Oliver's plausible deniability is the timing of everything. Everybody in his life knows he was on some island for 5 years, they all agree pretty quickly that he's changed, he's not at all the same person as before. Then like 3 days later the vigilante shows up and within a few months a computer analyst that works for Oliver's company is known to be working with him. All of this seems like a massive coincidence if Oliver isn't involved somehow.

I still say Lance knows who he is, just plays along. "It was a gift from a friend." "You have friends?"

VagueRant posted:Since it cut out him giving them the address and all further information, it would've been a lot smoother to just cut that line and cut to them scrambling to help in the Arrowcave or whatever the next scene was. You must have missed the four people sitting in chairs next to Cyrus Gold with blood streaming from their eyes who were failures. I remember in that episode when the cop said one of them was awake, it showed a bunch of others who weren't. As far as Slade and Roy, well, superhero origin stories.

For all the comic book fans out there, this one's for you: I'd like to see Roy accidentally killed by Arrow, Thea blaming him & then Slade using that opening to give HER the miraku and then it ending all 'Judas Contract'.

Na part of the reason why Judas Contract is so good is due to the fact that Terra was never misguided. She was always crazy and there was noone tricking her. She knew what she was doing and had no problem with it.

True, I just think that JC is such an incredible story and Slade has already stated he's playing the long game that the writers would be remiss not to crib as much as possible from that story. I also think that a certain point somebody else is going to have to be moved off the board as a casualty of Oliver's crusade and Thea would be a devastating loss, more so than Tommy.

The problem is that arc would also make the whole reveal of Thea being Malcolm's daughter completely pointless. Their plans for her are clearly with  BARROWMAN!

I would say that next would be an ally of his superhero life. It could be Black Driver, Felicity, or Det. Lance. They have already showed the danger to his civilian life and now most likely they will show being involved with him at all is dangrous. However, if any character is looking to die right now its his mom.

Ollie fucks up shooting Roy in the leg and he bleeds out in the alley behind the club. And I can't believe no one mentioned that Detective Lance noticed Oliver had a mask. At this point I would be disappointed if he didn't know that Oliver was the vigilante. He just plays along to humor him.

For a second there, I thought this week's villain would be Anarky. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up at some point in the future, though. And was it just me, or did Manu Bennett get even more buff?

Lance was onto him previously, but didn't Ollie trick him with Diggle wearing the costume or something--my opinion is that Lance put the theory to rest permanently at that point, and the show kind of moved on. Not entirely believable, but I'm not stressed about that particular detail, personally.

Good episode. The Laurel stuff wasn't bad, although I am still not adjusted to whatever work she had done on her jawline. It's seriously distracting. Probably more so to people like me who only started watching the show a few months back and got to see the change happen between one episode and the next. EDIT: Detective Lance totally knows Oliver is the vigilante.

But that was before Arrow and Mr Lance got so chummy and started hanging out in brightly lit rooms to solve crimes together. I can totally see why everyone thinks he knows and I personally hope that's the case. But I think the show could go either way with it. (Hey, if all the many many many people working on The Dark Knight Rises thought Catwoman should be surprised by the reveal that Batman was Bruce Wayne...)
