Not to mention that Arrow's whole episode will be about Captain Motherfucking Boomerang

Also, one of the previews showed Captain old and Heatwave and while I think they might just be cameos in the end I am still pretty stoked.

I'd say it's more of a question as to how Felicity keeps getting ridiculous amounts of time off from her job as Vice President of a corporation.

Honestly, I think Felicity gets work done so efficiently and effectively that she doesn't even need to come into the office most days. She's so badass that Ray just lets her do whatever the gently caress she wants to.

Ray made her a VP which means she's presumably involved on the business side of the company now in some capacity, but I'm guessing a lot of her day to day work is still IT stuff. So yeah, she may do a lot of telecommuting.

I assume Roy didn't come along because you wouldn't want to leave the city unprotected. Honestly, that would be my reason to leave a team member back at home; to make sure ninjas, super convicts, mercenaries, exotic drug king pins, and rich people don't burn the place to the ground till I can get back.

Roy didn't go to Central because either the writers didn't want to overstuff an already packed episode or because they didn't want to pay four people from Arrow extra money. Accept it and stop trying to come up with a kayfabe reason for it.

Preview clip from part two of the crossover. Slightly spoilery. Seems like they're keeping the humor going even as they flip over to Starling.

The best part of this clip is how Barry doesn't quite stop and bumps the table so everything wobbles.

Roy didn't come because they were just there to have star labs look at the boomerang, so Roy stayed behind to watch over things and hold down the fort.

There, problem solved.

Barry's kind of got a point and I'm not a huge fan of rear end in a top hat Oliver, is it me or are they purposefully setting up Oliver this way?

Cause the last few episodes his assholishness has reached new heights to the point of me just not liking him.

I'm a fan of Oliver's incredibly self-aware dialog. He's practically just saying, "PTSD and who gives a poo poo; it works." Definitely feels like they're going somewhere.

Yeah I really like that the show keeps emphasizing the fact that Ollie is this emotionally-damaged weirdo instead of just pretending that everything's fine and he's great. Same thing with him being an often-terrible mentor. It makes the show feel really grounded, even as he fights ridiculous bad guys or pulls magic arrows out of his butt.

CW is really good about putting new episodes up on their site. I'm on the west coast and I usually watch Flash/Arrow at like 11pm, just a couple of hours after they air.


Katrina Law and her awesome outfit/costume :allears:

And yeah no kidding about that second part.

Not really. There's literally no reason besides his retardedness that Ollie couldn't be dating Felicity right now. She's in just as much danger right now working with him than were she to be bangin' him.

Arrow needs a between-series show where every episode is "what is X person doing right now?" and has guest stars reprising their roles.

Those 2 shows are the extremes of ending a show at the logical time, so what we need is the Goldilocks Just Right of TV show length.

He secretly just wants to tell her she annoys the hell out of him.

And he knows she was skimming money from the company because you can't afford those clothes on an IT salary.

It was incredibly lovely advice, that's the whole problem that Arrow has is he's all " My crusade" and all that bullshit about being a lone wolf who doesn't need anybody etc.. etc..

It's just gotten tiring at this point. Something needs to change drastically for the show not to be just depressing Oliver every week. Green Arrow is not Batman.
