That episode was pretty good, but it seemed to go by really fast.

I have to think Oliver is somehow playing the long con on Ra's, but I don't see how it plays out exactly.

Aladdin: Arabian Knight

My name is Aladdin. For seventeen hellish years I lived as a street rat in the city of Agrabah with only on goal, survive and keep one jump ahead. But now, in order to show the girl I love a whole new world I'll need a friend like none other to become something else. To become... someone else.

Well at least the interminable Hong Kong flashbacks have a purpose now (introducing the alpha-omega virus thing). And Laurel was... actually good. And I counting down the episodes until we find out Felicity is pregnant (I'm gonna guess second ep of new season) because OF COURSE SHE IS.

Alternately they can go all balls to the wall crazy as they want this season because Flash is gonna time travel and change the whole timeline anyway so nothing's off the table.

That's Katana's current comics look, so presumably that's her.

At this point Ra's Al Ghal is basically a drunken redneck dad sitting on his porch spouting incoherent nonsense about how "This country sucks now let me tell ya how to fix it!" and "My daughter ain't no LESBO! Let me just fix ya up with the right man!"

Katrina Law needs to be a regular next season, Nyssa has been by far the best thing going in Arrow this year.

The best thing about this episode was goon Laurel, but Hong Kong and crytalking Felicity can gently caress off.

I almost want Nyssa and Laurel to be in lesbians with each other. I love them both. But that would be super hosed-up and kind of disrespectful to Sara, so they can stay besties and train each other in the art of being badass/being a normal person, respectively. :3:

And then they kiss?

I did like Oliver's stone cold brainwashed look after Ras told him what was going to happen with Nyssa.
"Well if it must be done, I will have procreative sex with this incredibly hot woman."

I just hope we don't get a power of love ending with Felicity.

I dunno, I thought he looked a bit skeeved out. He usually does that thing where he quickly turns and stares ahead when he's freaked out iirc. I think raping the lesbian lover of his former dead girlfriend is a bit beyond the pale even for him.

Or maybe I just hope that, jesus loving christ Ras gently caress you.

None of them can get through to Oliver until suddenly the maid from the pilot episode shows up. "Mr. Queen, you always been such a good boy".

"M-Maid from pilot episode? I-I... You were the one I cared for most of all! I remember who I am now, I am Oliver queen, the green arrow!"

If we do get a power of love ending it should be with Starling City.

It's a bit weird, like it's not just that the characters have good chemistry with each other, it kinds seems like the show is intentionally framing things that way, even with simple things like the cinematography and how the two of them are placed into shots together. But I don't REALLY think that's where the show is gonna go...

Maybe after working at the CW for so long, this is just the only way the Arrow writers are capable of writing a relationship, of any kind.

Is Thea leaving the show? Her character is one of things that ties the hero stuff into the regular world and I don't know if I'd keep watching past this season if she left. Unless Arrow magically got a lot better.

So what do you want to be called?
Thea cutting through all the bullshit this season has been the greatest thing, this episode being no exception. Everyone else is angsting over whether Ollie can be saved, but Thea is straight-up ready to kill him.

It's very refreshing.

I did like how Diggle went from "we can get through to Ollie" to "gently caress you Oliver, I'll kill you" immediately after Lyla was taken.

She's been great, which was a big surprise, but she does comment in a very Deadpool/Whedon-esque kind of way, which is okay, as long s her dialogue is good.

Also of note: this is the second episode in as many weeks where a bunch of people opened fire in a densely crowded area and hit gently caress-all.
