So I saw a thing. Emily Bett Rickards in a bathtub in vegas answering fan questions? I couldn't tell if she was drunk or if she's just that ridiculous in her regular life.

But she posed questions back to her fans at the end. One of which was "Who would win a slam poetry competion?". I might love her a little bit now.

I have the biggest crush on Emily Bett Rickards and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Yeah, that's pretty much an exact copy. So my guess is that it's an ad they made for some other country and didn't have the final thing ready so they just threw something in. Marketing is the best.

It's an imperfect reconstruction of Partial DNA. Still sticking to my Thea theory until they show the exact name and face of the killer and/or Thea at that exact moment in Corto Maltese

The LoA planting the DNA to frame Arrow makes more sense, especially considering he was declared an enemy of the league very recently.

Under her father's orders to set up this exact match-up of the two people both who want him deader than dead and are able to do it. She still doesn't know it's Oliver she framed.


Also the DNA is from the night of The Canary's murder. Ra's Al Ghul has literally ZERO motivation to want to kill some random schmuck.

The League planting evidence against Arrow when it's only Arrow who's looking at the evidence is pretty loving dumb, to be honest. That's a fanwank theory that holds zero water.

What I am really looking forward to is that the more prominent presence of the league opens up the possibility of a lot of league associated characters showing up. Mostly Cheshire,so we can eventually get Lian.

Also, maybe it's just me, but this show has way too many bow-and-arrow characters. Ollie, Malcolm, Cupid, Komodo, Neesa, Roy, the LoA foot-soldiers, etc. And Amanda Wallers suggests there's about twenty criminals on her list that use bow and arrow. I feel like it's starting to hurt the show at this point.

The League are said to be totally archaic, which covers Malcolm and Nyssa too. Oliver trained Roy, and Cupid took HER inspiration from The Arrow. Komodo existed to be a Red Herring for Sara's killer.

Sara isn't just some random schmuck, though. She's a (former) traitor to the League and someone her daughter is strongly romantically engaged with. That's all the motivation Ra's could ever need.

By random schmuck you mean the woman his daughter and heir was in love with that he completely disapproves of and never thought of as a real member of the league? That's hardly "literally ZERO" motivation. I wouldn't really be surprised by the murderer being anyone at this point.

I don't mean The Canary, I mean The Arrow. If he planted the DNA, which Felicity said was both partial and came from the night of the crime, then why Oliver Queen's?

Ra's had motivation to kill The Canary, but I don't see him having done it.

Ollie was romantically involved with Sara (and was the reason Sarah bailed on the League the first time) so incriminating him for her murder would be the best gently caress YOU to Sarah Ra's could think of, it also obliterates any hope of Nyssa allying with Ollie again. Besides you know, thanks to Ollie Ra's also lost Al-Owal

Oliver isn't really a random schmuck either, he's a known operative in Starling City with an extensive history with Sara. Additionally, given the Arrow's increasing influence and Ollie's skill level, it's entirely possible that Ra's Al Ghul considers Ollie a potential threat that needs to be eliminated.

I know all that. I think they could have skipped Cupid, and I have said before that I want Roy to develop his unique fighting style using his own... arsenal... of weapons. Malcolm and Nyssa I can forgive, since there are thematical reasons for them to share the same weapon skills as Oliver.

Not every villain on The Flash is a speed character. I don't disagree with him at least. Season 1 and 2 were fine, even when the League showed up with their own bows in 2 since we still had Deathstroke but now we've had two kind of D-list villains (their first suspect for Sara's death, Cupid) show up with their own bows and its starting to get a little tired. Captain Boomerang was great for multiple reasons, but I'd be lying if I said thinking "Finally, someone who doesn't use a bow" wasn't a small part of it.

Rhas Al Ghul being behind Sara's murder is just so drat obvious. I'm hoping Thea killed her solely because it would give Willa Holland something to do.

Outside of the Corto Maltese episode, she's had literally nothing to do. They started something with the idea of her and Oliver sharing a flat, and then ignored it.

I feel like the show is struggling to tell meaningful stories these past few episodes, and there's all these juicy veins to tell stories that are being ignored.
