That was cool, much better than this week's Flash. Apart from the flashbacks. I really don't know where they are going with them this year apart from coming up with random object related scene transitions. Why did Ollie feel the need to enter and exit the water where he did, 500m or so away from the ship, when there is an outcropping right next to it just round the coastline? I like the way that Daharachk still doesn't know Ollie is the Arrow. No way Felicity is dead, they will fake her death somehow. They came so close to my sarcastic prediction about Felicity's reaction to finding out Ollie was going to propose, glad they swerved that one.

Dahrk has a glaring weakness that has come up at least three times they need to keep exploiting, which is: fighting more than one guy at a time.

I'm suspecting that whatever shrine thing Dhark is always using is on the island, or that Ryder or whatever the name is has his crew on the island looking for something similar.

Nah, it's by far his biggest movie role so far--the first Ninja Turtles actually did pretty well at the box office despite being a pile of garbage. He's probably not allowed to talk about it yet.

Yeah, it's kind of funny that when Ollie asked Dahrk what would happen if he refused his offer, the answer was "You won't be running unopposed," as if HIVE would indeed introduce their own candidate. Instead, they went the subtler route of armed kidnapping and gas chambers.

A bit late for that now, though.

I expected a better Malcolm-Darkh fight. As things stand though, Malcolm was getting his rear end kicked thoroughly, and would be very dead if Oliver had not intervened. Which begs the question of why Darkh doesn't simply waltz into Nanda Parbat, bitch-slap Malcolm and take the crown.

It definitely came off as if it was originally scripted as Script posted:Taiana: "Can you really dive with just an hour's training?" And then by the time they finished rendering just the scene of Oliver swimming through the water and then showing a shark, they realized "oh right we're totally out of money & time now, sorry guys you're gonna have to make due with what we have" and they did a total "INSERT SCENE HERE" of Oliver fighting the shark.

Decius posted:Big deal? She just corrected one person, which makes sense, when she as Jew is standing right there, getting excluded. It's not like she declared War On Christmas. You are right, and that came out wrong though I am just doing quick phone posting fwiw. Felicity's point was legit and really it was the other characters who treated it as her making a big deal by making it clear they were stressing holiday because she pointed it out. (But the show arguably sympathizes with their majority and yes, privileged, perspective.) What I meant to say was the show makes a point of distinguishing the Christmas from the other seasonal holidays in general and Chanukah in particular, and Felicity finds herself at the center of that. Then she is literally put in a gas chamber, and the show is obviously aware of the historical parallel because the bad guy explicitly talks about the Nazis. So, in light of all this, is playing the most Christian of Christmas songs when Felicity gets shot an intentional meditation on the issues of identity in this episode or an oversight that happened because drums are ominous. Because it adds to the idea of fridging to just pick the song of Oliver's culture and not the person who got (maybe) killed. Personally I think a DAahark rendition of Santa Baby was the way to go in that scene. Although technically Santa is a Christmas figure his image is a lot more secular than baby Jesus. yronic heroism fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Dec 11, 2015 |
