I hope that Laurel's training comes off as convincing. Thea's six months of kendo training and magic tea is stretching it, but with Barrowman I can believe it. Self-defense class 2.0 is less convincing.

I have a hard time imagining a way to make it convincing unless she gets some metahuman powers ("canary cry") to help her out.

I don't think you can say 'emulates', more like it coincidentally resembles to a slight degree. Cutting hair is a well known trope when it comes to being empowered and shrugging off traditional feminine power stereotypes. It's a quick and easy way to visually note a character's change.

Hell, even Ollie had that happen.

Very true. I think it was all the swordplay that just reinforced the comparison in my mind. I'm still very much looking forward to seeing how much of that story is adapted for Arrow.

Dennis Farina voiced Wildcat on Justice League Unlimited - its in an episode that stars Green Arrow and Black Canary. It is also fantastic in every drat way.

R. Lee Ermey voiced him in Brave and the Bold and it was great.

Which is why it's weird seeing not-old abs-having hunk guy as Wildcat in this show. I mean, I know it's the CW, but even Supernatural had Bobby.

Should've brought in Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the actual Ted Grant, Hunky McSixpack could've just been her sparring partner to fulfill the CW eyecandy quotient.

In the comics there's actually a Ted Grant protege who takes on the name... for a very short time before he's killed, but they could have dropped that part.


Strangely enough, he actually has the same last name as the actor playing Ted.

Could they get Jeffrey Dean Morgan? I know he stopped being on Supernatural because his career took off. How's that going?

Failing that, they could've gotten John Schneider.

Y'know, I used to just sigh and shake my head whenever people brought up the possibility of Diggle eventually becoming the Green Lantern of this TV universe.

But the more we roll along, the less utterly batshit impossible that sounds.

Because if they want to establish an iconic GL + GA + Flash teamup, they literally already have all the potential pieces on the board.

As has been said before, John Diggle, middle name Stewart. Make it happen DC.

Haha. I just yesterday saw The Rock's Hercules, which was an okay-to-average movie (but a pointless Hercules one) and agree that Ian McShane would be great to have on Arrow. He's just got a solid and fun presence on screen, much like Dwayne Johnson, but we know he'd never be on Arrow.

So Barrowman may have murdered Sara after all, considering that after Corto Maltese we are well aware that he's still loaded with cash and resources. Also lol at the blank piece of paper thing.

In Laurel news: Canary training coming along pretty drat well, I'd say.

Lotz is nowhere near as good an actual actress, however. She really was dragging down the show when she wasn't doing her little bo twirls or whatever. She can't emote worth a shitdamn.
