Ollie has been listening to laurel nag him his whole life, it's why he looks so unsurprised and then strolls off a building instead of dealing with it.

The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Butt first, let's

Seems more like the sheer hosed up-ness of Maseo giving the mass murdering biological weapon that killed his son to Ra's is the thing that breaks through to his true character.

Seems sort of like... the League really needs to update it's traditions a bit. People don't come from little fishing villages any more. You don't just wipe starling city off the map if you kill a bunch of people in it silly, we have google maps, lines were drawn. Some people will be on vacation that week too but it's probably ok if they miss a few.

You left out the parts about thinking Laurel's tits are too small to be the Black Canary and believing one of the writers is a member of an obscure, dying comedy forum about because they referenced a 10 year old meme

Well obviously Laurel can only ascend to Ras Al Ghul Canary status when her gimp suit gets a boob window like Sarah had.

Agree with almost all of this. As for Laurel's cans, I don't think that's really a problem with her physical appearance, but I do think she looks very odd in the Canary outfit. Sarah pretty much nailed it costume and physique-wise, whereas Laurel ends up looking really bizarre and out of place (partially from that freaky wig). My go-to image of Black Canary is the one from Justice League Unlimited, so yeah.

Arrow this season just feels really tired and uninteresting especially compared to how much The Flash is knocking it out of the park. I've pretty much written off this season entirely since the finale obviously won't have Oliver become Ra's, at least not permanently. Why explore unfamiliar territory when we can just have him renege on this obviously sinister and unjustifiable plan of murdering all of Starling City, and go back to Team Arrow? Which, by the way, is insufferable. I think they really hosed up adding so many people to their little group of crusaders so quickly. Felicity gets so much screentime but she's reduced to a walking pile of tears, when she was quirky and fun in the first two seasons. I would love to see "Team Arrow" dismantled with the exception of Roy or Diggle, so that the show can be Green Arrow instead of the trash we've got now, where everything they do is a decision by committee (and the committee is full of people who wear incredulous looks constantly). Oliver got poo poo done in the first season, even before he had help - let's get back to basics.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
When you compare the cast and writing/producer reactions and discussions about Arrow this season, you get the sense that producing Arrow now seems to be more of a chore and obligation and The Flash is where all the focus is. Not only has the creative focus shifted, but Arrow's budget was slashed in half for season 2, and then cut further for season 3, which can't make things easy. Then there is the introduction of metahumans and bringing someone like Ra's in this early that puts Arrow in an awkward position. It was supposed to be a street-level superhero show, but Oliver is at a level where any non-Ras, non-metahuman villain is little more than an insect to be swatted. Even if Arrow changes course and shifts the focus to Oliver fighting metahumans, without mirakuru Roy around, everyone else basically needs to hide indoors while Oliver does everything.

The show needs major retooling, but with Berlanti focused on Supergirl, and the rest of his crew at the CW having Legends of Tomorrow to work on, I don't think Arrow will get the attention it needs to get back on track.

They'll just handwave it with Ollie's family estate was out in some unincorporated township to avoid paying city taxes so at most they just have to wipe one six block square quaint little downtown area + a few farms and a passel of rich folks off the map.

I didn't mean to suggest she didn't have the cans, just that she's wearing the jacket zipped up to her neck, it contributes to her looking less like the Canary and more like a Gimp.

I've decided the Canary Cry looks awful because they literally give no special effects around it. At least make the air wavy a bit coming from her mouth, it just looks like she's yawning right now...
