I thought onthebench said he wasn't going to be doing more. He never even finished Legends of Tomorrow due to burning out on how awful Arrow and Flash got.

Looks like it came up in season 1 when Merlyn was holding the step-dad prisoner there, and has gotten mentioned in some way or another a few times in seasons 2 and 3.

Edit: Okay, the chair scene owned.

Ollie getting back to roots and just straight up killing the gently caress out of dudes again is a nice change of pace. Didn't even hesitate with the gun, either.

Maybe this season really will be better than the last.

And countries. DC has like 17 fictional countries as well as all the cities. Marvel only has a few fakes places.

Admittedly they accomplished this by having like 3/4ths of their characters live in or near New York City instead.

Reminded me of the Justice League Unlimited ep that Alan Moore considers the only decent translation of any of his works, What Do You Get For the Man Who Has Everything? Thea and Ollie in particular having to give up a comfortable, ideal life with their parents and effectively kill them again in order to escape it all and the acting from them in the course of it was wonderful. The fight sequence owned pretty well, too. Right down to Roy gunning down the random rear end thug then looking at the gun with some vague mix of confusion and disgust that he did it. Even the Waverider swooping on in to save them and BWIP back into the timestream to get the gently caress out of the way of the swarm of fighters owned.

"The weirdest part is how you guys are reacting to this, like it's happened before." "The Lance sisters have a habit of coming back to life." "Wait, it HAS happened before? What?!"

Love the incredulous reaction, then checking DNA juuuuust to be sure because seriously, and of course its Earth-2 Laurel. Who somehow got loose without anyone noticing.

The incredulous reactions to this bullshit really have been the best part. Especially Curtis just rolling with it by comparison.

Also pretty okay with Felicity telling the B-Team to shoot the gently caress out of Not-Laurel if she tries anything.
