I remember Ray being pretty well-liked last season, don't know where all this is coming from now.

Actually there was a lot of criticism about Ray around here before he finalised the suit as all of his stuff was totally separate from the main cast and was exacerbating an already patchy season. He only interacted with Felicity for 90% of his time on the show and it was mostly boring.
And a bunch of comic nerds got upset he wasn't called Ted for some reason .

They showed designs for it pre-season and it looked p. sweet, yeah. Like a real Watchtower feel, especially with the conference table.

Couldn't they find somewhere better then a dank basement to store Sara? I'm sure sitting around in the dark chained to a wall isn't exactly helping the situation.

And with Oliver's "I wanted to show you" moment, he totally would take the death that hard.

If he does end up mayor, he failed to protect his police commissioner both as mayor, and as Green Arrow.

Oliver telling Lance to stay in as a spy is going to get him killed. Explains him blaming himself for the grave. RIP Lance.

I thought that was a really, really good episode. Like, end of Season 2-quality, in my opinion. The Ollie/Lance living room argument was amazing and both have been killing it so far this season. So excited to see John Constantine next episode even though I know absolutely nothing about him.

Constantine the show had its moments and Matt Ryan was probably the best thing about it so he should make for a good guest star. He'll also fit in with the more bantery tone they've been going for this year.

What is exactly is Constantine's shtick, then? Like he can transfer the souls of the dead or something supernatural like that? Matt Ryan does seem awesome and his accent sounds like the best part.

Constantine originates in the Vertigo imprint, which is a darker line from DC, so his stories are usually more gritty. He's basically a more traditional magician - summoning, scrying, exorcism, runes, bargains with demons, etc (as opposed to throwing fireballs around or something - usually). Most of his story lines revolve around him trying to stop some sort of dark magic. He's effective, but he's totally willing to use people (including his friends) to achieve his goals/avoid paying a price himself, so things generally work out poorly for people around him. He's often portrayed as having burned all his bridges, but people still end up working with him because the threat is so big that they basically have to.

Actually Constantine started out in Alan Moore's Saga of Swamp Thing, which was mainstream DC.

Also he's kind of an rear end in a top hat who gets those closest to him killed.

That was a callback. When Ray went crazy overworking himself last year she changed it to that and finally told him the password after he gave her the D.

Still terrible. Also I hope Felicity has another backup if Mr Terrific couldn't brute force that password.

Seriously, and they played it well. You don't get the sense that Oliver is taking the chance to get revenge for all of Lance's disdain over the years - he's really, legitimately crushed by the betrayal.

This episode was loving amazing. Easily at season 2 quality, if not even slightly better.

...though to be honest I spent most of it being annoyed at Oliver wearing the same ugly maroon shirt for days on end...

But still. Please keep this up.

I kind of remember this now that you mention it, but it was like 5-10 minutes after future Mr. Terrific, the Tech hero, couldn't crack it. Which makes him look bad, and also makes Felicity and Ray look bad if you don't remember the reference.
