I think the problem is there are just too many characters right now, so the ones we used to care about are suffering. I don't care about Ray in Arrow despite his cool suit because we all know he's leaving. While he's here, his love story with Felicity keeps weighing her down for dramatic tension and taking away screen time from other characters. When Ray's gone, Felicity can have more of a story of her own and maybe quit reacting in cry voice to everything Oliver does. And the time spent on Ray could also be re-purposed to Roy, who's just kind of there as a prop more than a character lately.

Spergatory posted:Alright, I think I've figured out why this season isn't landing for me. That moment where they just loving left Roy lying in the dirt? That's emblematic of the larger problem. This show used to have a decent bit of polish to it. It wasn't perfect, but you could tell the creative team was really putting forth effort to fill out the world and keep track of details. But at some point, they apparently decided they no longer needed to do that. And it shows. The whole show feels sloppy and careless now, like all the polish they were putting on Arrow is now going to the Flash.

There better be a clip of Roy waking up hours after being blasted by Ray, then having to take the subway home in costume because Ollie is already back at the Arrowcave.

What the Hell happened to Harbinger anyway, I liked Summer Glau, did she die? I don't remember her dying or getting de-mirakued or whatever so isn't she just running around right now?

Harbinger is Diggle's wife. Glau was Ravager and she got her rear end kicked by Nyssa and killed.

Ohhh that's what they mean about the whole "fury is ignited" thing. That's...a way to put it, I guess? Hyped for this and the fact that it's yet another step towards realizing the dream of a Music Meister episode.

If you play that game, you can expect to hear Harbinger assuming direct control. A lot.  That's the joke.

EDIT: quote:Amell tested with a half dozen actors over the weekend, but it was his eventual chemistry with Fox that led to the studio giving the role to the star of CW’s “Arrow.” Paramount had no comment on the casting. Lucky sob....
