I thought this last week but this only cements it, Dahrhke is the lamest loving bad guy ever. He is like if your middle school vice principal became evil. Holy gently caress the dude cannot wear a suit properly, and the direction doesn't even try to thrown him and his shoulderpads a bone. Also magic bullshitting arrows is infinitely lamer than catching them.

As much as I enjoyed this episode the CEO Felicity stuff was approaching Laurel practicing law levels of the writing staff not knowing how anything works. Like I'm not sure they understand why corporations have boards of directors and that you can't just tell them "piss off I'm working on a top secret thing." The whole thing was really hammy and beat you over the head with it's message. The rest was pretty great though and at least Thea has an excuse for being a pain now.

They used a Rite-Aid pillcutter for a loving fingerprint analyzer. Do they not have anybody constructing props?

"Man this show is great again! Damian Dahrk is hilariously awesome, and everything seems fun again!" "Let's dig up my sister's corpse and go to the lovely League of Assholes to bring her back!" "gently caress" I'd actually be cool with it had the coffin been empty.

I think I liked this one even better than the premiere. I'm glad this show isn't pulling a Flash and killing its villains because Anarky was great and I'd love to see him back. Though to be fair those Flash villains weren't any I'd like to see back. Discount Sandman and Bad Special Effects Man will not be missed.

Sober posted:Yeah I don't know how corporations work either but the "oh hey the thing we're working in is propriety. top secret stuff" made me roll my eyes. Did no one there catch that? My fan-interpretation is that the execs knew she was full of poo poo and just went with it, hoping this obscenely unqualified CEO they've been stuck with will crash and burn (either at the 6-month deadline or most likely beforehand) and they'll have an excuse to oust her from the company and stage a coup. Worst-case scenario, she pulls something out of her rear end and gets to keep her position, but if the company's back in black then that works for the board too.

Rick Pinzolo I believe was the name. After Darhk mentioned it Felicity listed him as one of the mobsters for whom Anarky had been an enforcer.

lol this is a comic book show people why are you expecting an accurate portrayal of business. This development probably is them ending the CEO stuff in one episode. The rest of the Palmer Industries plot is hopefully going to be Felicity and Terrific using  to save the company.

Rick Pinzolo, who google can only tell me was a gangster on a TV show called Wiseguy from the 80's. It was a CBS show tho so I guess anything's possible.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Felicity: kind of a poo poo CEO To be fair Felicity's like the second most qualified person for her job on this show besides Lance. Tommy got to run the old club because he "knows how to have a good time", Thea got to run the club because Tommy died, Oliver got to run the company because his mom died, and Laurel got a job with the DA or whoever she worked for by blackmailing her boss. At least Felicity technically rose through the ranks.

That...that was actually amazing. Everything in the episode was good. I know about as much about business as Felicity apparently does, so I actually liked her plot. I...like...Felicity again? What is this emotion. The fight scenes alone put the season 3 finale to shame.

She chose to come back to Starling City because of her dad. She only lost her job at the DA in the first place because of Blood setting her up about her drug problem(I mean she actually did have one, but they didn't discover it til later).

Seriously, why are you being hands off with a roaming gang of PMC terrorists? Dig has it right, just shoot 'em.

Lighter relative to season 3, meaning every single character isn't angry and sullen at all times, and a smattering of jokes and fun character moments. I think they are trying for a season 2 balance as oppose to being The Flash. I'm glad that they included the shot of Sara's desiccated corpse, though if anything it should be more decayed after more than a year. It emphasizes that it is an order of magnitude difference between putting Thea and Sara in the pit. Thea wasn't even dead when she went in, she was in a persistent vegetative state. It also demonstrates just how unhinged Laurel has become about this, which is an interesting direction for her.

A lighter tone does not mean a light tone. The show is easily lighter than what it was last season in these two episodes. Them making it lighter doesn't mean there won't be dark moments and storylines.
