Remember the Supermax movie where Green Arrow is in a giant prison and has to escape a bunch of supervillains? It was written and in preproduction but they never actually made it, instead opting for Superman Returns or something. Well what if that movie were season 5 on the island, in the Argus prison? It could basically be superhero prison break.

It would make sense that at some point Waller throws Ollie in the prison below Lian Yu. Given what information we currently have it's really the only reason that he'd be back on Lian Yu.

A lot of things could change in two seasons though.

Still would be a rad idea.

Maybe, but holy gently caress how bad do you have to be to take an innocent guy who was just stranded and has only ever killed in self defense up until that point, and not try and send him home. Haha. Poor Waller.

Wasn't Fyers working for Argus? Maybe Waller has an axe to grind over Ollie killing him and presumably loving up whatever op he was running for them.

As I figured, assholes ruined the charity eBay auction Stephen Amell was doing.

He got it restarted with some requirements, so hopefully it'll actually work this time. Noticed in the comments that someone is offering to handcraft a leather Arrow costume for charity and Amell is taking him up on the offer.

Edit: Oh man, the comments there are awesome. A white UK chick got all butt hurt because he closed the auction to everyone outside of North America. He unloaded on her, and some other guy called him a racist for his remarks. There must be some misunderstanding in the UK with regards to what racism is.

I figured the reason he was back on Lian Yu was simply that he wanted to keep his off-island time a secret, so he went back there for the explicit purpose of being rescued.

She was being melodramatic, but Amell was pretty harsh in his response to her. For someone who normally seems like a super cool guy, it was a bit surprising.

He was really frustrated by the auction fuckery and he never vents on his page. Dude was pretty restrained if you ask me.

Well to change the subject:

After twenty four years the CW has finally announced that the long awaited second season to their cult classic show The Flash is actually happening with a premier this fall. If you're not sure the show is for you, you can watch the first episode free on amazon if anyone is interested.

This. Who cares about her, the auction was hosed up by people being assholes so he had to make exclusions. She was being a selfish baby and he rightfully told her what's up.

I like Merlyn's costume though. It looks more in line with what a badass archer would wear. Instead of skintight pleather with a hood.

It's time to restore dignity to the Farnsworth name!

This is completely unrelated to the discussion at hand, but ever since the Dollmaker episode aired, I've had this niggling feeling in the back of my head that that episode had basically already aired, and I was super confused as to why they were basically rehashing it, but no one else seemed to notice. Just by happenstance, searching for something totally unrelated, I got sent to the Fringe wiki, where I was dropped on the page for an episode that was essentially the same plot, even mostly the same clothing used on the girls. It feels good to not be crazy.

I know that Barrowman has mentioned at multiple points that the league costume is seriously claustrophobic to the point of physically affecting his performance, so I can see him jumping at any chance to change it.

The actor who played the Dollmaker was also in an episode of Fringe as a guy with super-autism future predicting powers, so it's understandable how that could all get jumbled together in your mind.
