My favourite line of the episode was "I'm starting to wonder what would impress you guys," from felicity when she does the working places overlay. I also liked "and I approve this high" but then I really liked the Count in general. Still when one batshit crazy villain dies another batshit awesome villain is reborn, as the old saying goes.

evenworse username posted:I also liked that when Arrow decides to take someone out, he takes them right the gently caress out. One, two, three arrows to the chest, ah ah ah! Kind of a bummer that (this version of) the Count won't be back for more, but it was a hell of a send-off, so I'm not too down about it. I wonder if Brother Blood was also using Vertigo in his super soldier mixture?

Brother Blood's mask is really stupid, considering he literally just stands around doing gently caress all with it. At least the other island deathstroke did stuff in his mask, even though it made him look like a bobblehead.

I'm not saying he doesn't need a mask (or whatever), but it's such a shittily done ripoff of Scarecrow and it looks terrible. I feel they could have done better, and as cheaply, mask-wise. But whatever, it's just a minor costume complaint, so it's not THAT big a deal.

Why would he need to wear the mask at all when nobody survives the treatment to begin with? Until the last episode that is.

KenjiKaizoku posted:Oh, there's absolutely no "probably" about it. They foreshadowed that with all the subtlety of punch to the throat. In the comics, Slade Wilson is literally enhanced by a super soldier-esque serum administered by the government. I've heard him referred to as DC's version of Captain America, and that's not far off -- accounting for the huge difference that Slade is much more lethal in his work. Haha, Don't get me wrong, that was just a qualifier for the one in a million chance it doesn't happen. I'm with you, I fully expect him to get the serum.

Lawlicaust posted:If she got conspiracy, she would have gotten the murder charges as well. Proving the conspiracy would mean that she was guilty of all crimes of the conspiracy. IANAL, but I don't think that's true. The standard of proof for conspiracy is lower, since the guilty act has to be attributable to one member of the conspiracy, and it's not necessary to even conclusively prove which one. evenworse username posted:Where's the Count?

Okay. this surprised me. Episode Synopsis for the December 11th episode "Three Ghosts" After a fight with Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver is drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity makes a risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows stronger. The Arrow asks Lance to look into Gold, but when the stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy (Colton Haynes) is captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro). John Behring directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Geoff Johns & Ben Sokolowski. For those unaware Cyrus Gold is the name Solomon Grundy went by before he died. He's the guy that survived Blood's treatment this week.

Like, come the gently caress on, don't make me get interesting plot tie-ins/histories from a god damned TV Guide magazine. Put that poo poo in the god damned show. Of course, if they use his full name that episode it'll be fine. But still....

At least they kept part of Ollie's motive alive by not reviving Tommy. In fact, I think it creates some interesting story tension if they explain how BARROWMAN! came back.

I don't understand how they move the plot at such a breakneck speed and still make it a cohesive story (so far at least). ~edit~ unrelated question, I didn't follow the season 1 thread, is barrowman just referring to Merlyn's costume color, or something else?

This show is exhausting to watch. The amount of screaming and arm waving involved is far too much for a drat TV show. The action never stops, plots are resolved quickly, and the twists that just leave you spinning.   I think we all knew Barrowman would be back at some point, but it was still a stand up and yell a lot moment. And then the reveals. I want to see what Merlyn has in store for his daughter. And what his new game plan is. And where does Slade fit into all of this? I don't think I can take another two weeks without RIP Count Vertigo.

In most any other show Moira's trial would've been the season-defining multi-episode event with multiple supervillain attacks, kidnappings, at least two instances of Oliver having to appear in court while being needed elsewhere as the Arrow, all the tricks. Here? It's over in one episode.
