There were a bunch of pretty good jokes that landed well in the episode, which is more than you can say for the majority of s3. Oliver going "Self-defense classes!" (which is, hey, technically true) when he threw a guy off a balcony was great. I even laughed at Felicity's "da bomb" schtick.

I dont know posted:...though if anything it should be more decayed after more than a year. Wouldn't most of the flora in the gut and blood that contribute to decay be destroyed by the embalming process? I thought modern embalming meant corpses tended towards desiccation as opposed to putrefaction.

I dont know posted: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 was 100% not expecting that. I thought "Oh here's a twist, the coffin will be empty." But nope, nasty-rear end corpse just laying in there still in the corset. Super glad it was the last thing I saw before I went to sleep last night.

"All of your attacks are focused around crippling people!" "Gee, it's almost as if I was trained by an ASSASSIN or something." Speaking of which, given Merlyn's opinions on bringing Thea back in the first place, what are the odds his solution to her issues will be "she belongs dead" and trying to kill her?

That was the first Arrow episode I've really enjoyed in a long while. I'm hoping things keep up.

Wouldn't Thea be up for League leadership too since she sorta survived being stabbed by Ras?

When she died, Team Arrow ran some tests on the body for a few days before secretly burying her in her previously empty grave. As far as the worlds concerned she died on the yacht, and only a handful of people ever learned otherwise.

Anarky was really fun, it looks like the show was setting him up to come back again and I really hope he does. I missed how Ollie used to have recurring B-list villains. Someone needs to gif Thea's sliding move in the final fight, that was super badass.

I like how they dropped two random new characters (the Danforths?) in this episode and then expected us to have empathy? The editing throughout was hilariously bad. The fight scenes were pretty good, but between the acting slipping across the board, the ridiculous Thea subplot, and Felicity being generally insufferable I really don't know anymore. Dark seems pretty cool though so there may still be hope. I'm in until mid-season at least.

She should totally be a soup of hair and bones after that much time. They should have had a Hefty sack to take her "body" with them.

You know, besides the board room hilarity, I forgot how loving easily Oliver infiltrated that group on the island. "Yea he totally stepped on a landmine. Gotta take my word for it." "Hmm guess so. Btw do you want his job? I also believe you have been here for 3 years because you ripped your shirt and put some dirt on your arms. I better not ask to see where you lived or for any sort of proof."

Tossing the dead soldier on the land mines was pretty dang smart I thought. He's an exploded man they aren't gonna do an autopsy and say "Hey some of these lacerations were caused by a dagger". I did laugh at how fast the slaver gave him a job though. If they had asked him where he has been living. Oliver would have plenty of places to show them, like the cave he was in at the beginning or the downed plane.

I know Paul Blackthorn is a favorite, but his character is really starting to grade on me, I miss when him and Ollie were friends and he wasn't pissed off all the time.

Well, the leader twitched his eye like 3 times, so he's probably a plant by Waller to use the group to take down a bigger scheme, and needed Ollie as an outsider to help with the sabotage.

Also He's a well known person, It's common knowledge that he crashed on a boat however many years ago. Most people would take it at face value that he's been stuck here for all that time.

I will say it's a little ridiculous that Dahrk is coercing Lance's cooperation by threatening to attack his daughter, aka the vigilante that's going out every night to attack Dahrk. What happened to the Canary cry, anyway?

Super glad it was the last thing I saw before I went to sleep last night. Exactly what I was thinking. She looked like Jack Skellington. It was gross. Liked the ep, and it was good to hear Felicity mention that John still needs a code name. I'm already bored with Thea's arc, though, and I've given up hope that they're ever going to explain just how Katana brought Ollie back.
