I kind of wonder if Darhk has already deduced the identity of the Green Arrow and is just meeting Oliver in person for fun. Seems well within his character.

He said he had his suspicions in the last episode.

I thought it was badass! That fight scene had a very "kinetic" feel to it, and had some nice long shots

I think the director of this episode is just really trying to do some different shots. Like that shot of Laurel dropping off the building a second ago.

They definitely are going for a different, gritty aesthetic tot he fighting this episode.

Between this and Gotham my cravings for amazing and/or goofy elevator fight scenes has definitely been sated for a while.

And, uh, it looks like Darrhk just tried to steal her god damned soul and got something entirely different.

After that hall-elevator-hall with Thea, I think you're right. I'm getting a real "Let's experiment" vibe with the framing and tracking. And I like it.

Oh this explains it, this is the first episode of the show to be directed by James Bamford, the lead fight choreographer on the show. They need to let him do more.

I know being on a TV budget and timeline make it hard to do good action work, but man does it make it so rewarding when the nail it.

Also, for interested in good camera work for action this is a good fun video: https://vimeo.com/113439313

Everyone who wants Oliver to be a socialist crusader did notice the number of times whatshisname called the plan to restore the bay "crunchy hippy-dippy" right?

Yeah, calling it a "hippy crunchy program" immediately piqued my interest. Leftist Ollie is definitely a thing that I want to see.

This episode was really good, again. This season is firing on all cylinders and I couldn't be happier.

I liked when they did the Spider-Man thing and had their arrow-lines attach to, like, the wide-empty sky.
