Crossbow bolts are also different than arrows, so easy to tell apart.

Also crossbows shoot really loving hard and thus would not yield shallow wounds

I also I thought Roy asking Ollie not to abandon him was very intense.

Did anyone else fist-pump when Ollie said "Never" or was it just me?

Also, crossbow bolts are different from regular arrows. I guess she could have jury-rigged a crossbow that shoots arrows instead, but she isn't actually an archery wiz.

So Roy didn't kill Sara but the arrows that did had his dna and the virtual autopsy matched up with his height, etc. Coincidence? Was this explained and I want paying attention because I couldn't stop thinking about boxing glove arrows?

It wasn't his DNA. She just couldn't confirm that.

The DNA was inconclusive and the height wasn't a match for Roy it was just inconsistent with being fired from a bow of the archers they knew of I think.

Yeah, you hold a bow up high so the relatively level arrows in Sara's stomach would have to be from someone tiny, or some weird bow usage.

At first I thought it was just a dramatic choice, but looks like it's part of the mystery now.

You only hold a bow up high in one pose. Ollie's fired from the hip before, gangsta style. You can get a good foot difference between stances.

You may be right that it is Ras, but that sting is more likely because this is the Hong Kong flashback season.

I think Ras was responsible, but not directly - he likely sent a lackey to do it. It doesn't even have to be anybody that we have already seen, just somebody that Sara would know from the League.

It was two lies and a truth.
"We're gonna do a boxing glove arrow."
"Not everybody makes it."
"Roy is the only one to get a new superhero suit"

Which is odd because that's two truths and a lie.

It was actually Roy is not the only one, so it's 3 truths.


I do remember something about Ollie not being the first vigilante too though.

I have two theories who the killer could be.
1. Ollie's Japanese handler guy in Hong Kong whose name escapes me at the moment. I don't know why he'd do it, but there's still lots of Hong Kong flashbacks to get through.
2. Tommy Merlyn. Sure, he had a building fall on him, but death didn't stop his father from coming back, and they have ties to Ra's, whose entire gimmick is coming back to life.
3. Harrison Wells.

Firing from a wheelchair would explain the odd angle.

Okay, so they did the boxing glove arrow, so that's true. We've seen proof of Laurel's costume, so the last one is a lie.

Everyone makes it through season 3 then? Odd, since they already killed Sara.

I'm hoping. It won't happen, but stranger things (such as Ras on TV) have happened. It would give Nyssa some more motive to go rogue, and set up a pretty loving sweet fight.

Ever since his particle accelerator died, the impossible has become possible. :flashfact:

edit: One last thing; I have zero problems with Cupid being Huntress 2.0, because instead of it being an unintended case of bad writing, the gimmick is that she has a horrifying case of one-sided affection. We then get to :magical: right along with Oliver. So bring on the cheese.
