Why would Earth 2 Felicity wear the engagement ring of her Earth 1 counterpart's funeral. That's just crass.

Um how could you have not watched the breakout fan-favorite critical success that was Vixen, the breakout fan-favorite critical success CW Seed online series????

That series was notable for two things:
--Cisco Ramon and Barry Allen having the same skin tone;
-Neil Flynn as dad. "Alright Vixen, once you deal with amulet, we're gonna prank JD."

Also, I know I bring this up a lot, and

I know the show is called Arrow, but goddammit, sometimes a bow and arrow is not an appropriate weapon! Ollie trained with escrima sticks, have him carry some! Thea carries a goddamned sword, have her use it! Stop hitting people with your goddamned bows!

And, this isn't TFR, but I have a hard time believing a trained mercenary would carry a 1911 with the hammer down.

Arrow has some pretty bad fight scenes nowadays compared to Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. They want all of Team Arrow to fight at once and it looks goofy, like the enemies are just waiting to slowly get hit. The bow as a melee weapon stuff is pretty bad, too.

Superspeed, shrinking and telekinesis okay, but I draw the line at the super rich superhero having a bow that can be used as a bludgeon.

Maybe you missed the only fight scene in last night's episode being a classic kung fu circle of one on one fights?

I think the fights and stuntwork this season have been really good overall. The Thea elevator fight from a few episodes back might be the best one they have done on the show.

The fight scenes this year are being undercut by how often they end with the bad guy running out the door 10 feet away and Team Arrow don't even bother to chase them.

I was pretty let down to see Felicity alive. She made up for it with her little "Go be a hero" speech in the hospital though. It reminded me that I used to like this character. Next episode looks like it plans on taking that good will away though, which is a shame.

I was thinking that "two weeks" was Darkh moving to his end-game in which Ollie & co would be casualties of whatever it is like the rest of the world. More like I'm just going to leave you alone from here on out, but really, you only have two weeks anyway because I'm going to destroy everything.

I stopped watching this Wednesday night about forty minutes in and picked up the back twenty tonight.

Losing the context of whatever happened beforehand because why would I remember, I felt flat out embarrassed that I thought I liked this show. The Anarchy guy has got to be the most hokey poo poo they've ever dreamt up. From the ridiculous mask to the perfectly painted on symbol to his super ability to twirl in circles and defeat the heroes, it was terrible. Darhk randomly standing outside, Oliver just saying that he saved his family and him accepting it, the stupid way Olly just stands there and watches himself get stabbed by an arrow, the hokey rear end cutaway for Thea's not murder. I'm pretty sure my eyes rolled out the back of my head when they continued to milk the dead brother island stuff.

Like it wasn't just the normal Arrow was disappointing feeling that was last year, it was loving atrocious. I started doing chores at the end and listened to Felicity's speeches in the background.

I agree with this completely. I don't understand why they insist on keeping the flashbacks going at the point, as they lost their appeal seasons ago

how else will Oliver learn to trust other team members with his problems if he didn't remember that in a flashback?

This should be brought up at every opportunity at every convention they're at. At this point, we probably don't need NPH if we can get a musical episode. It does need them to put the overarching melodramatic plots for a bit, but still.

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.
So she's the chick from Wild Kratts (all the parents laugh knowingly here).
