Well, gently caress. We all kind of knew that would happen eventually, but I won't pretend it didn't just catch me off guard.

Laurel's going to Oliver to demand the gently caress out of his training. They're not waiting until the end of the season to show off those guns.

Pre-season news they were saying she was going to be trained by Ted "Wildcat" Grant, one of the guys we saw boxing in tonight's episode.

Actually, somebody else is going to train her. Ummm... not Bronze Tiger. Black Panther? Black Tiger? Brown Puma? gently caress me, I can't remember all these goddamn Metal Gear codenames.

Episode 2's title is a pretty big hint. I was wondering if something was up.

Honestly, at this point I just loving HAAATTTEEE Vertigo and all the Counts. The Counts are NOT INTERESTING as villains at all, and Vertigo is tired and played-out. Who the hell would take a drug that terrifies you anyway. I want all of that poo poo to gently caress off forever.

What was with Oliver being so loving sloppy and letting vertigo stab him immediately following the scene where he berated himself for being sloppy?

I laughed inappropriately at that death, because that just seemed like a totally lame thing to happen. Surviving the big huge finale against the unstoppable army of super-soldiers, and returns to just to get unceremoniously killed off? The gently caress?

Not cool with killing off Sara. It's the dumbest, laziest way to make Laurel the Canary. She survives Season 2 and you give her this? gently caress off.

It just occurred to me that Oliver got called out of the hospital to give a certain someone a pep talk on another one of Starling's many vacant rooftops. Now what if that person could move so quickly that it would seem as if they were in two places at the same time...

I think she would have reacted a little more combatively to Merlyn. More likely it was the Demon's Head, Ra's al Ghul.

On the other hand this'll probably lead to drunk Laurel sooo...

But yeah, it's pretty clear that :argh:Barrowman:argh: is responsible right? I mean why would Ra's send someone to kill her off when she just went back to the League?

No one knows Merlyn is alive (well, unless Ra's shared), and Merlyn wears standard League of Assassins garb, so he would appear to be an ally for at least a couple seconds, which would be enough time.

This is also me. That said, this is Arrow. They always work at a breakneck pace, so in retrospect it makes perfect sense for that to happen when it did.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
Katie's a significantly better actress than Caity, I've got no problem with the replacement if it means they'll finally have something worthwhile to give to Laurel. I'd even go so far as to say I have hopes that she'll be better than Caity was. She doesn't have the physical/parkour/etc background but this show does excellent stuntwork. You can't sub in a stuntperson for line delivery.

Well I guess we'll know the killer in what 2 episodes? That sounds about right for Arrow.

Also, guess she's not using her vacation days anymore.

Kinda, yeah. It was mostly a background element, though. Hell, during this episode Ollie even brought up when he shot her down last season; he didn't do it because he wasn't interested, he did it because he felt he couldn't lead that kind of life.
