Bad Moon posted:Anybody else weirded out by Amell using his normal tenor while talking instead of the usual deeper Grim Oliver tone? Like, you get used to one thing and it's weird hearing him using that tone when he's in the Arrow Cave. The lighter tone starts with Amell's voice. I noticed that too. He sounds like one of the Power of Friendship side characters while Diggle and Thea have taken over as brooding mainliners. My favorite part of the episode would have to be when Dahrk (Dark? Darkh? Dharkh?) revealed his name Ollie's reaction was "done talking FIRE ARROWS!" No "Dahrk? Ras's outcast frenemy and the only person he feared? I will stop you!"

Pan Dulce posted:They reneged on that later, stating they didn't count on the reaction fans would give to Felicity. I hate poo poo like this. "Our focus groups said!" It always ends up like the Simpsons Poochie episode. There are some places where fans want a thing (like better writing, better plots and characterizations) and you give it to them, and there are some places (like inter-character romances and such) that you say "No, just sit back and wait for it". Felicity started off a very reluctant part of the team, and absolutely did not like Oliver or his mission from the get-go, she was only involved because of his father. Then they recharacterized her mid-season, because apparently the clear set-up for the much more compatible duo of Ray and Felicity wasn't enough for some vocal set of fans.

Ollie's whole dynamic with characters and chemistry is going to change due to the complete tone shift in Amell's performance. Seriously, it's night and day and it's a tribute to Amell that the character isn't lost in the change. I mean his first line of the season was like the groanerest dad joke ever, which I can't imagine s3 Ollie saying. All this goes to say that I don't think Oliver and Laurel's eventual relationship would be bad. Also I really like Thea as the side kick, she's already ten times more interesting than Roy was. I kind of like the way that the first three seasons laid the ground work for the debut of actual Green Arrow, it makes for a good arc and also makes his transition to an inspirational hero feel earnes. And the writers said in post interviews that they haven't decided who's gonna be in that grave for sure so try not to get Lost af in here.

If they're not just BSing the fans (because a "we're not telling" will have people trying to weasel it out of them at every public appearance), that's exactly how you *don't* do something like this. You're writing a blank check with an expiration date and assuming you'll have enough money in the account to pay whatever the fans qrite there when it comes due. ...that is a TERRIBLE analogy, but gently caress it I'm posting live.

Eh, the Breaking Bad writers had no idea what Walt was going to do with that M60 when they made that flash-forward. Sometimes winging it works. Then again, season 3 makes me question the Arrow writers' abilities on that front

With magic showing up I was hoping Katana would reemerge with a real magic sword...but then I remembered she's in the upcoming movie so probably off the table like Deadshot. Still pissed they never had her reveal that her "penicillin tea" was actually "lazarus tea" and thats how Ollie lived. Would have made the midseason return less anticlimatic and would have been the perfect out for the season, as it would been Ollie didn't really survive Ra's blade and thus wasn't the true Heir.

Finally it looks like we are getting some traction on the most important plot that has been around since season 1: (whoever made this gif I love you) I hope the flashbacks this year are less poo poo than the ones they did for season 3. God those were so loving bad.

So if none of them bail on the show before that point in the story, then it will probably either be 'that one girl he has a kid with but doesn't know it yet' or 'random character that will be invented out of whole cloth during the next batch of flashback sequences'.

The writers have alluded to season 3 going off track largely because they stuck to some nebulous "plan" even when it was clear it wasn't working at all. Let them improvise a little as they go, for chrissakes. Season 3 felt VERY designed, almost always to the show's disadvantage.

I think it went a little underappreciated but when Darhk magiced those arrows back at Green Arrow and he ran towards him deflecting them by twirling his bow that was pretty cool. Seen so man big bads catch or deflect arrows out of the sky it's neat to see Oliver do it.

You might be confused when Felicity makes all these references to Roy Palmer technology introduced and finalized the last couple of episodes. Plus Legends of Tomorrow bringing back some people from those episodes. Last two episodes go by fast anyway.
