I'm not a whip expert, maybe that's normal, I dunno.

Arrow's SFX staff doesn't seem to understand 9mm can easily penetrate milk crates, so yeah dude was a whip marksman expert.

drat, good episode. I like where everything is going.

Apparently the producers or something said that Felicity isn't going to be Oracle so I'd just assumed they'd have her recover from her injury, but...the episode made her paralysis seem pretty definite...so now I'm not sure where else they can go with that? 'Cuz if she's gonna be in a wheelchair for the long haul then she's literally just Oracle. Are they, in fact, going to un-paralyze her despite saying that she's pretty un-paralyzable? What's the what here.

Nanites? Magical surgery? Darhk restoring her ability to walk if only to dangle taking it away again because he's a huge dick (adding extra emphasis to Felicity telling Oliver to drop his rear end?)

Anyone can whip in dinner plate size object with little training, it's just practice. It's like fly fishing but shitloads faster.

It's Oliver's kid.

Barry knows about the kid from the crossover episode. Felicity WILL know about the kid in another month and why Oliver was forced to keep it on the DL, allowing her to misplace some of the guilt on herself.

Diggle is driving the limo. ;)


(actually, you should see how may people are excited on Twitter, hoping it's Laurel).

Because it's the father of one of his friends and was helping the rest of his superhero buddies fight an evil that may or may not end the world.

It's not like he had to stop working and book a flight to come pay his condolences. He could spend 10 seconds on the commute and it would mean a lot to Team Arrow.

I don't think it's Lance though.

I'm leaning toward Felicitys mom now. Felicity seemed way more upset than Ollie and Barry would have felt some kind of sympathy there since he once really liked Felicity. I seriously doubt they would kill any one big like Blackneto or Thea again.

But didn't Merlin also use the pits to bring back Savage again?

We only saw him collect the Savage dust.

Barry accidentally takes Ollie to the Future, which is why he's apologizing, the grave is Datkh's, it says "here lies Damien Dahrk, He Was Killed By the Green Arrow "

So Ollie resignedly says "I'm gonna kill him"

Felicity's mom being in the grave makes some sense, although it's a little weird that Felicity waited in the car while Ollie stood wistfully over her mother's grave long enough for everyone else to leave.

OK, is there a comic book reason that's a wolf? Because the name Vixen gives of an --oh, I don't know-- more of a "fox" vibe.

In all seriousness, Vixen's power is that she takes on the properties of animals. So she can manifest the weight and strength of an elephant, or swim like a fish, or run as fast as a cheetah, etc. Remains completely human and never alters appearance. Just takes on the properties of animals.

I don't know who Manimal is, but she does basically "borrow" their skills so she can fly by borrowing flight from a bird or strength from an elephant or jumping from a grasshopper. There's probably a caveat or two to her powers, but it's less restrictive than Animal Man's who has the exact same powers.

I feel like it's a significant flaw in Oliver's planning that he's working so, so hard to track down Darkh but still has not the slightest clue how to defeat him once he does find him.

Im confused then. Didn't Constantine say it would protect once and then fade? Or was the glow just the tat reacting to mystical-scepter-head-thingee's proximity and the concurrent whipping going on was just coincidence?

This is Urotsuki.
This episode was fantastic. They teased Ollie relapsing until his entire plan blew up in his face and he had a "gently caress, what the gently caress am I even doing anymore, gently caress :stonk:" moment.

And then, in a sign of how far we've come, his supporting crew actually went "Okay well you admitted you hosed up. Go see Felicity, we'll clean this up :)"

Just the best. All sorts of good stuff going on here, including Felicity's "let's go get Dahrk" up to the last "no seriously we are going to murder this man so hard I have to put the ankh back on and take him to the underworld myself where I will murder him again just because."
