Latter is the Arabic pronunciation, former is creator's intention. If there's no David Warner, I don't want anyone else to say Raysh, anyway.

Nobody says the word "Detective" quite like David Warner. He says it like its a proper noun.

Man Vinnie Jones REALLY isn't as intimidating as he used to be. Is he supposed to be super powered at all? I'm more of a Marvel guy so I have to be constantly looking up character names on Wikipedia.

Brick as a comic character does have powers. I do agree that he isn't quite as big as he used to be.

Well Oliver was able to get there within 12 hours. Plausible that Merlyn had the resources to get in and out in 24-36 hours.

Also, a Roy scene without pointless flips!

I mean don't get me wrong, he still has a great cockney street tough attitude, but he's really starting to look his age.

That being said I'll always enjoy seeing ol Vinnie Jones on screen.

I love episodes like this. I love seeing characters who don't usually talk to each other that much having meaningful interactions. I'm actually kind of sad that it looks like Oliver is coming back so soon, because I'm enjoying what his absence is doing for the team.

They obviously weren't going to have Ollie be "dead" for a long stretch, but that also doesn't mean he's going right back to Starling,

Yeah it's not exactly good for Ollie going back to Starling immediately after Ra's supposedly killed him.

That was a pretty good episode even though some of the scene shifts were a kinda weird.

Great episode. Great to see the team functioning without Ollie. Also Roy's stunts were cool and not embarrassing.
-I don't know why Diggle was wearing the Arrow costume initially and dropped it so quickly. Because it was "too tight"? It's just so ridiculous when he's going on Arrow-missions in a leather jacket and no head-covering.
-Thea can deduce that Roy is Arsenal but not that Ollie is the Green Arrow. They're not doing a good job at making her seem like an intimidating warrior.
-Didn't like the flashbacks. Their mission looking for a vial of weaponized bullshit is too similar to Mirakuru or countless other superhero clichés. And Maseo's dialogue was terrible.

He was wearing it to keep up appearances. He's bigger than Ollie though, and it's leather, so he couldn't do much but stand there.

Thea figuring Roy out isn't that crazy. She's seen him with the Arrow before.

Oh Yeah. That makes sense. Sorry I just got done watching it. I guess I'm just tired of Thea not knowing something so clear by now. As for Diggle, for his own/ his family's protection he needs a costume and a codename for the love of goddd. I mean, they even refer to him as Diggle over the radio!

Also why do they randomly have Sara's old wig laying around? That's just creepy.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I think Diggle stopped wearing Oliver's gear because he doesn't make a very convincing Arrow, as we saw with him firing at the truck in the opening scene.

That was a good episode and at least the Flashback episodes are going to lead to like you something, also Alpha and Omega virus.

Also, I like that they straight up say he's dead. "She brought you back to life". So magic herbs it is then unless she is a metahuman that can bring people to life.
