They've already shown they're willing to play fast and loose with established character backstories. That's one of the things I love about this show.

It would be a bit too close to the terrible version of Talia from Dark Knight Rises. Besides, Isobel is interesting enough anyway without having to make her Ra's daughter on top of that.

Now someone like Felicity who is on the side of good would be a far more interesting twist.

http://vimeo.com/42151906 This is her Parkour-only reel.

I know we're all but holding the wake for Sarah Lance, but I hope that the producers realize just what an asset Caity Lotz is as an actress and how her character is an instant fan favorite and expand her role and promote her to regular next season. Seriously the internet is bonkers in love with her.

Episode was loving fantastic. I love Sarah as the Canary, I loved the fights (ripping off the doorjam or whatever), the lines were great, especially the thread title.

I agree with everyone else; I think Paul Blackthorne and Caity Lotz dominated the episode.

I really hope Caity Lotz comes back. I'm not sure how Katie Cassidy is supposed to fill those boots. I'd much prefer for Caity Lotz to be the fulltime Canary and join the Arrow team.

Yet apparently swords are the peak of efficiency and guns are a coward's weapon. The League of Assassins are a bunch of neckbeards it seems.

Speaking of neckbeards, I wonder if the human hand even offers enough friction to stop an arrow released from a modern compound bow, assuming you grabbed it right after the point. Those things get crazy velocity.

Mixing characters isn't unheard of. I can think of one series who recently jumped into it headfirst. Namely, Elementary.

Also, Blackthorne owns. Detective Lance vs an Assassin was great. Especially the one-liner.

Barbed arrow coated with curare, or a capsule head that releases knockout gas.

Professor Ivo
Bronze Tiger
China White
Dead Shot
Brother Blood
League of Assassins

Am I missing any right now? Cause that's a lotta people.

I've already said that the "boxing glove " arrow could just be a round arrow with a boxing glove drawn on it. Just saying.

Oh and is there a Gif yet of the Window burst into the slide? Cause that needs a gif.

Professor Ivo could just be a flashback player. Maybe he got taken out a while back?

I think this season will be focusing on Brother Blood, with the League setting up for later and China White and Bronze Tiger showing up as filler fights like they did last season.

Deadshot will likely be recurring for the whole series until Diggle manages to kill him in the last season.

One thing I thought I'd mention is that I haven't read the comics, so i don't know most of the names. However, when Ivo said his name, from the way the actor said the line and the way the music shifted, I could tell that he was a comics player.

Didn't they make a point of having Ollie go see him for something related to Vertigo, just to show that he's completely zone out from overdose now? I don't think he's coming back.

This, this yes. That would be fantastic. Maybe even have an old west flashback or two, with Tom Jane as Jonah Hex. Dare to dream. Unless of course she jumped ship from Talia's funky girl-ninja gang and Ra's daughter wants her back in the fold, or dead. Or both. Until they confirm one way or the other Lazarus Pits may just be a thing in play.

Caity Lotz reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence, and since JLaw owns, Lotz also owns.

I think the producers are pretty good about keeping their ears to the ground with fanservice stuff. I can't imagine they'll kill her off or anything, though she may just fade off into the sunset after training Laurel or something. I mean, look at Manu Bennett who became a regular after the outpouring of love from fans.

Of course, I say this and look what happened to Tommy but, well... :(

I also noticed the weird thing she does with her mouth. It's like she's holding her lips really tight and forcing her words out through her teeth. She's still awesome though and has a million times more chemistry with Ollie than Laurel does.

They found someone who's nearly as physical as Stephen Amell, a better actor than Katie Cassidy, and she outshone most of the cast combined. And she's NOT going to be the fulltime Canary?

We do not know that. Things change all the time and its possible that they will keep her. I mean Lost only hired Michael Emerson for a couple of episodes and then decided to make him a full time character.
