I thought he only injected the Count with an overdose of vertigo the first time around? And in the second encounter he was still comatose, he shot the doctor with triple arrows. And in the third encounter he killed the Count.

Do not worry. Vertigo from the Alternate Reality will show up and he is dead, but not.

I unironically enjoy Nyssa and Sara casually strolling down the street chatting away while Arrow waits patiently for them to finish a couple yards away, all three of them completely in the open for random passerbys to spot.

Huntress was portrayed that way in the comics for a long time, she's killed in the name of "justice."
She's one of a dozen DC Comics characters like that, including Oliver and Roy themselves! And yet adapting them to other mediums did not end up placing them on the same list as serial killers.

Awesome episode. So much happened it feels a lot longer than a one hour show.

I really like that Oliver doesn't always out-fight or arrow his way out of every conflict but can also think through situations.

My name is Oliver Queen...
Haha, so unless Buzzfeed did this interview a while back and were being misleading about it, Guggenheim straight up lied about what they were doing:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jarettwieselman/arrow-exclusive-sneak-peek-oliver-takes-roy-under-his-wing

quote:

But don’t expect Roy to enter Oliver’s Arrow lair — or take a crack at his salmon ladder — just yet. “To preserve his secret identity, Oliver is talking around a lot of things because the more information he gives Roy, the closer Roy gets to figuring out that identity,” Guggeinheim revealed. “That’s why the training doesn’t take place in the lair. We can’t bring Roy in without revealing Oliver’s identity since it’s right beneath his club. So, it’ll be a while before we get Roy in there. Or on the salmon ladder.”

Holy crap that was a fast moving episode. I wonder if they're going to try spinning Suicide Squad into a show if Flash is successful - either way, there has to be a Captain Boomerang.

Yea this is basically the worst plot. I mean with Laurel they didn't know what to do with her, but this is just straight up retarded. Then again, I'm from Toronto and our mayor is a fat racist crackhead alcoholic and 40% of the population would still vote for him. So maybe all Moira has to do is run around yelling about lowering taxes and how she helped(kill) the poor and enough people will believe it. Honestly they should kill her off or give her a plot that isn't terrible.

Excited for suicide squad and more Black Dynamite Bronze Tiger though.

It was pretty obvious that Ollie called Sarah in the club. Still, good to have that confirmed.

And I'm way more excited about the Suicide Squad than I probably should be.

It was pretty amusing when Ollie got Roy to chill out only for him to punch a hole through some metal. I figured he was going to have Roy tear the door off its hinges and physically destroy the device. Still, any excuse for a trick arrow is a good excuse. :allears:

What a good show.

The :allears: emoticon should be Felicity. It fits perfectly. Throw on some glasses and a ponytail.

I've got a question for goons who understand this kind of thing better than I do: How is this show doing in the ratings? I feel like looking at the numbers on Wikipedia like it's kind of in a decline, is there a danger of it not getting picked up for another season? It's a good enough show that I'm starting to worry about it getting cut down in it's prime. Even here on the forums I feel like this thread doesn't command as much attention on Wednesdays as it did last year.

It's almost certain that it'll be picked up for another season, it's continually one of the highest watched shows on the CW.
