He said it wasn't the goatee or mustache, but that we'd know it when we saw it. :shrug: He also promised that he would be on the salmon ladder once more before the end of the season (though I'm not sure how serious he was with that).

I bet it's the hat :colbert:

It'd be hard for Ollie to be mayor at this point. His mom made a splash for sure, but he's been out of the public eye and has no financial backing at this point.

Conversely, I'm not sure Amell could rock a hat and not look like a tool.

He didn't purchase the city, he just spent almost all of his money rebuilding it and wants them to rename it in his honour, is that so wrong?

Don't put too much stock in it. I did research under the one of the mathematical consultants for Numb3rs, and story/filming concerns always take precedence over the _________ consultant. See also: blue meth.

Numb3rs is also the show where they described two people talking on IRC as two boats passing each other in the ocean, and treated 1337-speak as some kind of actual foreign language despite the fact that there's a loving number in the show's name.

Last weekend my parents found they had an adware oh their computer. Since it linked to ads related to webcams they thought that the program came from OBS since that program works with the computers webcam.

Is that the one where the tech nerd guy is watching a camera of Gibbs POV, notices the gun in Gibbs' hand reminds him of an FPS, remembers the bad guy who set up the evil computer is a gamer and is thus able to help navigate Gibbs through the "map" of the bad guy's lair while avoiding booby traps?

Which probably still isn't quite as bad as that episode of Life where they get a kid to play Prince of Persia to unlock secret financial records.

Arrow had that hilariously slow moving Drone in last year's suicide squad episode, too.

Though to be fair, Arrow's handling of technology is roughly 100x better than any scene set in a courtroom. Yowsers, those are terrible.
