I wonder of the quick mention on the news of a particle accelerator being built by STAR Labs is supposed to be foreshadowing something... maybe how this version of The Flash gets his powers?

zoux posted:Usually "no kill" superhero rules irritate me because it just seems like a dumb way to keep things kid friendly versus the actual practicality of letting essentially weapons of mass destruction live on. However, this was an extremely organic and plausible way to turn Ollie into a no kill superhero, and it proves that the writers know how to use the long form to develop characters naturally. Nicely done Arrow. 0.9 in the demo. Not as good as the series premiere, but the same as last year's finale. It's a solid number for The CW and the show seems to be maintaining its audience, so things are looking good.

They put up a 30 second preview of next week on the show's Facebook page. Amell claims it's the best episode of the series so far. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201947492196536

XboxPants posted:What exactly was her position before? If she a high enough position in their tech department, it'd be a little more believable. Last week's episode established that she went to MIT. Up until now she had an unspecified job in the IT department. That doesn't completely excuse the occasionally lazy and/or ridiculous tech related writing, but Arrow is hardly the first TV show to have that problem, and I don't see it as an issue with her character. Felicity is to this show what Oracle is (was?) to Batman, albeit with Oliver and Felicity having a different interpersonal dynamic.

muscles like this? posted:Kind of wondering how Det Lance can't put two and two together considering he's staking out a crime scene with Oliver Queen's personal driver and secretary. I don't think he ever saw Diggle. The combination of incompetence and petty childishness of the Starling PD is getting irritating. Let's arrest the cop that caught the bad guy the last time because he almost caught him again!

Shakugan posted:I can't be the only one who has never, does not, and will not ever care about Ollie's island adventures. It's such a drag for the rest of the show. Every time I see the start of an island scene I think "great, there goes a minute of screen time for the actual show". The island plot got boring to me last year when it was a cycle of Oliver getting captured and then getting away in one way or another. When something actually happens, the island plot is worth it. I'd say tonight qualifies.

Klungar posted:Any chance Summer Glau ends up being Talia? I doubt it. It'd pretty much be a retread of TDKR and I don't think the show is lazy enough to try to pull that. Plus Glau's character, Isabel Rochev, is already an established Green Arrow character.

Or they could hire the younger actor now and put old man makeup on him and do the same thing. This is still a CW show with a CW budget.

Alright. Even still, the world won't end if this version of Laurel/Dinah never becomes Black Canary. Some of the show's best plot turns have come from breaking from the comics, like with the use of the Merlyns and Slade mentoring Oliver on the island.

WarLocke posted:I'm a little behind in the thread, but the only way I can see that Hourman show working is if it was something like the adaptation of Steven King's Dead Zone show that ran for a while with Anthony Michael Hall. More of a suspense/drama thing as he tries to figure out how to change the future to fix things each episode, instead of an all-out superhero action type thing. Yeah, that's what I would guess. Early Edition, the CBS Kyle Chandler show from the mid-late 90s, also had a similar premise.

Jack Skeleton posted:I'm confused by this. Both parties have a major fault here in the infidelity, but why is Sara worse than Ollie? He was going after his girlfriend's sister. I think what you're supposed to take away is that both Oliver and Sarah were pretty terrible people who changed fundamentally thanks to their experiences after the boat sunk. One act of betrayal being worse than the other, if that's even true, has no relevance to the story now.

Aphrodite posted:She doesn't seem to film with the rest of the cast very often either. I'm re-watching 1 x 02 on Netflix. China White and a few henchmen try to assassinate Laurel at her apartment while Oliver's there and Diggle intercepts. So I don't remember if they've ever directly interacted on camera but they've had scenes together.

Phylodox posted:Katie Cassidy has some higher-profile recognition from stuff like Supernatural and the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Even still, looking at the top ten list on that star meter thing (you can't look at much more without imdbpro) Katie Cassidy is with some impressive company in the top ten (JLaw, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jamie Dornan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, and Natalie Portman are the top nine). Kind of makes me think it's easy for a rabid fanbase to game the system, which wouldn't be shocking, imdb and all.

I was just pointing out the mask doesn't really address that issue, for what it's worth. Now I'm off to wikipedia to look into this "Superman" fellow.

I'm guessing Brother Blood will be the more immediate, direct villain Team Arrow will be dealing with for the time being while Merlyn will operate in the background and possibly try to confront and/or manipulate Thea in some capacity.
