This was the best I could do, I had to slow it down slightly just to make it visible and even then I'm not sure how apparent it is.

I also considered one where the TV was replaced by Black Canary shrieking at the viewer but that'll have to wait for another day.



I feel like Ollie should be further behind the holy gently caress and the arrow itself more pronounced, also needs more green overall.

If Officer Lance hasn't figured out that Oliver is the Arrow by now he's got to be the worst cop ever. Felicity helping the Arrow independent of Oliver is possible but her helping out Sara too is kind of stretching it.

I was almost sure Officer Lance in that last scene would drop a hint that he knew Arrow's true identity (because like you said, after Felicity and Sarah, how could he not?) But something tells me he knows but he wants to leave it alone.

At this point I think they're building to a heartwarming scene where the Arrow is rushing off to risk his life and Lance lets on that he knows as he's going.

If I remember correctly he knew who Arrow was in the first season and once he saw that Ollie has changed he had no real desire to chase him down. He has even less desire now that Ollie is not killing.

I agree that it started a bit rocky but I thought the most recent episode was great and they are finally firing on all cylinders.

I love that we basically had a great plotline developed and resolved within one episode without having it stretched out over a billion instead.

I was really worried they'd kill off Sara in the episode, but fortunately they didn't, because she's clearly one of the best thing about the show.

That is precisely the thing to do, Avatar.
Spartacus is a fantastic show that had a rough start that put a lot of people off. The first three episodes are not great but things improve dramatically starting in the fourth episode. Even though the Gods of the Arena mini-season is technically a prequel, don't watch it until after you finish the first season -- if I recall correctly it literally opens on the same scene that the first season ends on. It's definitely not something you want spoiled.

It's a great show. Really. Nice to see some of the actors work their way into Arrow.

Blake Neely's score is one of the best things about the series. And yeah, the CD is awesome.

As far as I'm concerned Caity Lotz can stick around on the show as long as she wants.

Really like Amells fake hair.

It's quite good, isn't it? Especially after watching the Once Upon A Time franchise and the truly horrifying wigs they use on those two shows. loving hell, it's like they shop for costumes at the halloween discount isle. Arrow deserves a lot of credit for the hair/make-up/costuming work they do. Black Canary's face-modifying domino mask was a pretty great touch, and Felicity's always got some great outfits. (well, that powergirl-esque boob-window top in the commercial thing was weird but other than that)

Almost certainly but I'm betting it's Nyssa and not Talia. If they do Talia, she'd probably be better starting off not knowing her parentage and transforming to a villain over a season.

It was really bothering me in her first couple episodes, like constant Blue Steel, but she seems to have toned it way down. Hardly even noticed it this week. Dunno if we should credit that to her or the directors, but either way, very happy to see.
