An episode without Felicity turned out to be awesome. Who would've thought? I just have to give props to Blackthorne and Amell for how they acted in that last scene. I thought it was great. They both really sold it. Andy Diggle...man, I was pulling for him and he got me. Big giant gently caress you to the writers though. Tagichatn posted:The synopsis is really on point this week: http://imgur.com/a/Y3b1j Because this was the worst thing I've ever heard. The Roman Reigns comparison still stands strong. Every character in the show has to put over Felicity. I'll eat this bullet this time. NOT MY GREEN ARROW AND BLACK CANARY. THEY SHARED A COMIC, drat IT!

Hey I just remembered the fake death pinch that Oliver did earlier this season with the Russian woman as well as to fake murder someone for the mob back in season 2. What's the bet that the writers haven't toally forgotten that he can do that and work that into it (0%).

Just one last season and we can finally forget about this series. And hope that whoever thought that relationship melodrama was a good idea to put into a superhero show in large quantities is taken out back and shot. This session is falling apart like the last one, but the point where it started showing its signs were later this season at least.

I guess it would make sense that Laurel did tell Oliver to set up the fake death, but he botched it and she really died.

man I'm laughing my rear end off at everybody who didn't expect Laurel as a possible hit before it happened. It's the whole reason Quintin was acting as Daimon Dark's Stooge in the first place (and get Blackthrone's emmy already, that final scene was pitch perfect). Besides, I'm not completely convinced Laurel is dead just yet, thanks to Olly having a feign death herb in his stock that we haven't forgotten yet. On the off chance she is gone, we'll miss her seriously. She has worked her butt off physically and her character has improved drastically.

So your position is that they did extensive reshoots including going back in time to set up the tombstone we all saw two weeks ago in the leaked pictures because of their shame about the negative reaction to the episode from two days ago?

Guggenheim posted:The concept of death on this show is evolving and changing as we’ve already seen with Sara Lance, and with seeing Laurel in a parallel universe. There’s a world where we do an episode where Oliver Queen meets the Laurel Lance of Earth-2. That’s now on the table. Time travel is now on the table. As the show has evolved, so has death.

Besides Reverse Flash (and maybe Cold), has there been a villain between the series that gained victories for reasons other than the heroes holding the idiot ball

The former because he soundly whooped Oliver's rear end. The latter because even though they managed to stop the quake machines, he still won out in the end because Tommy ended up dying, which broke Oliver.

Up until around the part where the flashbacks showed Oliver knew there was a Mirakuru cure the whole time and never said anything, most of what Slade had been doing was all him.

They didn't stop both quake machines. Only one of them. Did you forget about the part where half of the Glades was destroyed and hundreds of people other than Tommy died?

What? No, that didn't happy. You're crazy. If something like that happened, surely Oliver would never have worked with Merlyn again.

It also helped that Slade was the only one who's sole reason for being the bad guy was just to gently caress Oliver's life up in every conceivable way. No big evil plan to take over a city or kill anyone else for some dumb ideals or whatever, just a straight-up revenge story.

I'd like to see an alternate universe where the Arrow writers didn't blow their Slade load so early and have Slade be the Season 5 big bad who was somehow behind everything that happened in the show. And then have him gently caress Ollie's mom.

Longbaugh01 posted:Edit: I'll admit I really did like the part in the latest ep with Malcolm yet again just materializing at the bunker/hideout/Arrowcave. At this point it's probably the best running joke on this show because of how ridiculous it is. (Flash kinda has this too, but it's funnier when it's Malcolm.)

My point still stands. Now it just means that Merlyn won because he outplayed Oliver in bringing in two machines instead of one. And he still breaks him.

What was the deal with the hard cuts in this most recent episode? Diggle's Brother is like "I'm in a Box Factory or Something!" and .5 seconds later the entire gang is there almost mid sentence. Then later the one guy that's actually gotten some screen time (Mouth sewn shut villan guy) gets ready to fight Thea and Laurel and the the next time it cuts to them Malcolm is just like coming out of a cell behind them (almost mid sentence again) and you can just see the previous guys laying on the floor.

The best part of this episode was Thea casually mentioning that she hacked the prison's security cameras. You could almost hear Willa Holland thinking, "wait, is my character actually saying this?"

At this point of this trainwreck, I rather think I'd enjoy David Cassidy showing up as Laurel/Canary with every other character acting as if nothing changed. Also, "Mods?": The TV IV > Arrow Season 4 - We hoped it'd be better than that last one

My frustration is that Sara was my favorite character in the show and they killed her after taking Laurel in the wrong direction for a long time to "fix it" and forcefully turn her into the black canary which Sara already did perfectly, for no reason other than keeping it closer to the comic canon, I suppose? And after somehow they had managed to pull that hard task of rewriting Laurel they made Oliver and Felicity real, and then just killed Laurel. And Sara is in a different show. So they killed my favorite character off the show for no real reason in the end. Feels bad man. If they >had< to have a relationship they could have kept Felicity as the light-hearted character before their relationship drama, have Sara be the black canary and one of the few characters who had good chemistry with the green arrow since they're all crazy psychos and still fix Laurel the way they did, by not making her character a dramatic alcoholic. Hell, they could even kill Laurel had they done that. Instead we just lost a good Black Canary, another good Black Canary, and a good character with one of the better actresses in the show. Unless it's a fake-out in which case it's gonna be weird after so many resurrections. I mean, comic books and resurrections and all but that would be a crazy high number for a show in so little time.
