Roy's mask makes his eyes look weird.

True, but on the other hand, unlike the Arrow, his face actually looks different in and out of costume, making him harder to identify.

BrianWilly posted:

On the other hand he really needs to stop pulling the "What would Sara do" card because it's hellsa dumb. Sara would kill Merlyn in an instant and take selfies on his corpse.

I am so glad that Laurel shut that line down again, because it really is tired and annoying.

High-class English accent I could buy, because if you're arab and not poor you're educated in London instead of a bombed out mudhut. This is true even if you're ~1200 years old or whatever Ras is.

Yup he had what sounded like an Aussie twang to some of his words (I'm British).

I find it hilarious that when team Arrow + guests go out hunting everyone has a disguise - apart from Diggle.

To be fair, when is she gonna tell him that her dad is Malcom "Mass Murderer" Merlyn and she's been training in sword-wielding badassery for the last five months.

Uh, I think ded was referring to Oliver, who already drat well knows who Thea's father is. It was even the main focus of Thea's small arc near the end of season 2.

He knows, but she doesn't know he knows which is why she made up the whole cop rescue/barista cover story in the first place. Both of them think they're the only one guarding a major shocker from the other while the audience is privy to both and waiting to see which bomb drops first, it's dramatic irony.

Everyone saying Ollie should let Merlyn die regardless of whether he killed Sara or not is overlooking a major angle to this. If Merlyn is right and The League itself was behind it, Merlyn is his only source of inside information on them other than Nyssa, who would never believe it or help. If he dies, so does valuable intel about a powerful enemy.

Enemy to who? Even if they did kill Sara, they aren't going to start killing people in Starling city. Kill Merlyn, sorry Sara your death goes unavenged. And what makes you think Malcolm can be trusted besides using everyone for his own means?

Actually kind of curious about that final talk Thea and Merlyn had on the phone where he says he'll protect her etc.. sounded like Thea knows Oliver is the Arrow.

Yeah Oliver's reasoning for believing Merlyn was rather thin.

Very disappointed that we at least didn't even get a shot of Ras with the old school comic book look :(.

I hope once they establish that Merlyn really didn't kill Sara and move on to Ras that doesn't mean Barrowman is done for the season. I was hoping he'd be a major player this season.

He is a credited cast member and he is in for the long hall.

But in this case that would be using an enemy that has sworn not to kill him to eliminate an enemy that has sworn to kill him. He'd want them to succeed.

And I think Ollie would consider and organization of assassins that's killed in his city before, kidnapped his sister and possibly murdered a member of his team who he loved, an enemy.

The league only wants to kill Oliver because he is retarded and told them Merlyn was under his protection or whatever. And I'm sure the League has no interest in the arrow or Starling City once they kill Merlyn.

Oliver you are dumb stop making bad decisions.

I laughed when they showed China White. I mean, blow up a jumbo jet for some Triad goon? It would have made more sense if Ra's was on that plane. I would believe Waller would kill all those people, hire a merc force, and potentially destabilize a region for a shot at the Demon's Head
