Something about how he was only on the brink of death and was only wounded but never actually died, and she had some super powerful healing herbs that she used on him.

But didn't Katana's husband explicitly say Ollie was brought there "so she could bring you back from the dead"? It's whatever. I'm just having a hard time letting that huge disappointment go.

Kind of like how Thea, though not actually dead when going into the Pit, is frequently referred to as having been "resurrected."

Behind my back your spa-date was really digging up my dead girlfriend and crime-fighting partner, flying with her corpse to Nanda Parbat, resurrecting her despite the clear affect it had on Thea, and coming back with a Pet Cemetery version of the person she was. Do I have this straight?" I like that we have at least a 50% chance of him just going  and rolling with it rather than throwing a pissy fit and spending the next four episodes emo as hell. I'm starting to like this show again, you guys.  bobkatt013 posted:Do not worry they have a guy.

Not being suspicious of Oliver being on the island and murdering people is fine as it's the equivalent of finding Paris Hilton on the island if she went missing. Who the hell would suspect her of doing anything? Immediately making her your armed thug makes it hilarious though.

Ville Valo posted:What? Katana brought him back from not-quite-dead-just-really-stabbed. How did people miss this? Because it was handwaved over between episodes and nobody's actually sure exactly what happened there, seeing as the production team just decided to make a gaping chest wound disappear. I wouldnt be surprised if they retconned it to be less stupid. The chest wound and Ollie waking up an episode later from herbal tea is pretty much when I decided maybe this wasn't the great comic book show i thought it was. The So-You-Think-You-Can-Dance fight choreography afterwards cemented it when contrasted with the amazing poo poo Daredevil was pulling off. So far the stunt work has gotten a lot better this season but you still have a bunch of military mooks pirouetting around Thea to kill time as she makes her way to the next mark so the bad guy can do a sweet backflip  zoux posted:Pay attention better. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Oct 16, 2015 |

Not liking how something was explained doesn't mean there's any likeliness to going back to a plot point from a season ago. There's absolutely zero evidence that anything happened besides exactly what we were shown - Katana used herbal medicine to heal Ollie.

I do not work on the show and have no idea what the plot will be moving forward. Welcome to the discussion of a TV show. Did you miss the end of the sentence where I said "but probably not."? How did you miss this? I do not think anybody involved with the show has any interest in revisiting anything from season 3.

Azhais posted:Just waiting for his campaign slogan Also, love the bump in action choreography this season. Less flips and more actual shooting of arrows, in S3 it was mostly swinging bows around like swords and it got real old real fast. Thea vs. Ollie was a nice showcase of "fighting styles as expressions of different personalities", something TV shows often struggle with. Editing is still frantic as poo poo, but oh well, budgets.

I'm thinking Katie Cassidy is either the sweetest, most hard-working individual or a total bitch, because these are the only explanations why after over a season worth of fight scenes none of the expert fight coordinators on the show dared to tell her how to hold the goddamn nightsticks. "Uh, Katie, you don't actually hit with the... uh... no, never mind, you're doing fine, champ.  "

I get the distinct impression, both from the latest episode and the earlier plot where Ollie lost his company, that the writers of this show don't know what the difference between an owner and a CEO is or what either of those roles actually are.
