Gaz-L posted:It also fits into the show's opening voiceover: "To the city, I am someone else... something else." I like how we're seeing just how much Oliver was not a superhero when he came back. It's giving me a better sense of how Oliver saw what he was doing at the start of the show, and how he really did just see his late-night antics as nothing more than just another wetwork assassination mission.

DarklyDreaming posted:From way back but: I posted the "DJ is LOA" theory and was NOT joking about it! bbf2 posted:It looks like the reason Oliver goes there is because the League captured or threatened Thea (presumably to get to Malcolm). bbf2 posted:Ha, well I was thinking that if that were the case, then "Douchebag DJ" wasn't actually a real person, that he was a persona of a spy/actor guy who works for the League who was only pretending to be a surfer DJ bro in order to get close to Thea because they figured that would be the sort of person she would be into. I hope I'm right about the second part and everything about the persona he's presented to Thea is entirely an act.

So, was he a DJ before joining the League, or was it part of his training? We need to know.

That scene in the Hong Kong nightclub gave me a wonderful idea. Arrow videogame, with the Sleeping Dogs engine. Also every time Brick says anything I mentally add "you slag" to the end of it. Any role Vinnie Jones ends up in, I always do. Oh, and Laurel will have to fake Sarah's death in front of her dad or he's just going to keep pestering her. And finally, just finished watching this episode and OH MY GOD THE DJ IS AN ASSASSIN

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:I'm disappointed Oliver was just better after a couple of stitches and some penicillin. I was hoping for full on Lazarus Pit magic or something. Instead we get ah, just some bandaids! That'll fix your punctured lung. Yeah, that's kind of bumming me out. He's not coming back from the dead or anything, he just...somehow didn't die. The world's greatest assassin took away his swords, clowned on him without breaking a sweat, and then totally missed any vital organs while stabbing him right through the torso and then kicked him gently off a God drat cliff without even breaking any bones. Even in comic book world that's kind of dumb. It's not even outlandish, just lame. Here, take some herbs and walk it off, Ollie.

BrianWilly posted:I actually like Laurel's plot right now and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out but man the actual dialogue they're writing for her is just...really stilted at best. I just don't get it. It's like they take the most innocuous phrases that humans should say and scramble them into clunky-sounding fake TV dialogue. A completely simple and straightforward concept like "I tried to be a hero and it just made things worse" turns into the utterly weird-sounding "I thought being Sara would make it hurt less but instead it caused more pain." It feels odd to contrast the dialog of this show with Flash. I enjoy both of them but the dialog on Flash flows so much better. Cheesy as hell, but it feels (mostly) natural. I'm not sure how much of that is up to the writers and how much the actors.

I feel like he'd be all hopped up on vengeance and stuff if that happened and he didn't seem to be particularly angry at anyone right now. My guess is that he probably blames himself for whatever happened. And who knows, he's such a loose cannon about things that he may well be right.

hcreight posted:Laurel has been perfectly fine through this whole arc and her move towards superheroics has been no more ridiculous than Roy "I have training from Oliver and YEARS ON THE STREETS" Harper's. Deal with it. The thing I love most about this is in terms of skill and experience Roy is miles ahead of Laurel and Diggle is miles ahead of Roy. So of course, he is the one left behind for mission control.

GreenNight posted:If I watch them how will I bitch about poo poo not making sense?!? To be fair, it does seem that you only need the basic gist of what happened in China to make any connections with the current events (basically you only need to know who was who), and the events in China do seem a bit too generic and uninteresting altogether.

The thing that annoys me most about Oliver's surviving is that even if they weren't allowed to use Lazarus pits by name or show them, they could still have worked around that in such a way that they effectively were used without breaking the rules. It wouldn't have taken much. Maybe Maseo brings the body, Katana examines it and says "He's too far gone. You know what this requires". Maseo nods, maybe they take him into a cave or something, next thing we know Oliver is waking up, asks how cause he knows he was hosed up, Katana fobs him off and says it's not for him to know. Done. She can still give him some herbs as well, if they're so keen on them, but at least it would have been better than the ridiculous recovery he ended up making.

I sort of thing Rhas specifically didn't mean to kill him and instead did a surgical disabling strike, knowing that Ollie didn't kill Sarah, but he had to honor his trial by combat challenge. I really hope that's the case. I dont know posted:The thing I love most about this is in terms of skill and experience Roy is miles ahead of Laurel and Diggle is miles ahead of Roy. So of course, he is the one left behind for mission control. Diggle is basically the Worf of this show. He gets beat on to show how tough a bad guy is. I'd really like them to do more with Diggle, like give him some really specific skill in tactical awareness or something where his military training will really be useful. As it is, he's just guy with gun, and he ends up getting punched in the face all the time.
