The show practically tortures the poo poo out of Quentin.

"There's a Black Canary sighting, it's probably a copycat somehow, but mysteriously the sonic device is coded to Laurel only?"

"She must be alive!"

"I wouldn't bet on it."

"No, she has to be!"

It wasn't a bad episode. But the answer to that question is no.

I actually really enjoyed this episode. I can see the girl coming on as a new Black Canary. Thea is pretty well trained at this point so they need a new rookie character. I was shocked to see Felicity being so ruthless, it was really well done and I felt like her character had reached her breaking point.

Ahahaha, the flashforward from earlier in the season they put in not only doesn't make sense from how either Olly or Blonde Lady were acting seconds earlier, it doesn't make sense from where The Flash is at either.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Can we have "person who actually uses the Canary Cry more than once an episode" as the new Black Canary?

Like, she doesn't even have to be called 'Black Canary,' she can go as 'Midnight Canary' or 'Obsidian Canary'.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Can they please get an intern to spend 5 minutes in Adobe After Effects to give canary cry a shockwave or some sort of visual effect? Surely the budget can't be that tight. It still looks hilariously stupid that it doesn't have that especially after Silver Banshee had one for her very similar power in Supergirl.

Those are 2 different people and they don't know her level of involvement with the plan like the audience does.

Yeah what the hell, I thought the shows were supposed to be in sync? Maybe between Wells saying it's time to blow up the city again and this Arrow ep they actually pulled the whole thing off?

GOTTA GO FIST
So is Thea just going to completely ignore that Alex is up Ruve's rear end? Or that the Crazy Canary screamed "You were working with them" or whatever when she attacked him? Absolutely zero fuckin interest in Evelyn Sharp. Maybe I'm just really drat salty over the worst call I've seen since I started watching superhero television. And after sitting through an hour of "She's dead. Like really really really dead. No chance of anything. She's D E A D" I was just giving out about everything. Normally Lance does some rockstar acting, but at the funeral...he just couldn't. He wasn't pulling off the grief enough.

Let Nyssa join the team.

I think it's cool that Barry got his powers back off screen or something.

A lot of the over the shoulder shots in the first half bugged the poo poo out of me. Like it seemed painfully obvious that they filmed one half separate from the other half and couldn't find a double that matched the back of Amell's head. There's also the funeral at the beginning with Ollie only standing alone and never in a shot with the audience unlike the latter funeral. At least the way they handled Larurel's identity was not terribly dumb, but it's a shame they haven't pull out a copycat "We are all the Black Canary/Green Arrow" movement yet.

Shit! I didn't bring a knife.

Man, these shows have been milking the hell out of cliche lines. "You want to honor her. Do what the Black Canary would do." I demand everyone on the team wear WWBCD bracelets!

Also, does anyone else thing John's helmet looks really stupid? It doesn't cover his ears, the clear visor fogs up when he breathes, and it's too bulky. And it's got an M on the front of it. I will agree, though, angry Diggle best Diggle.

Felicity continues to just irritate the poo poo out of me. Just being a lovely person, especially with the "One illegitimate child away from an Ollie impersonation." line. I knew it wasn't going to happen, but after the funeral, I really wanted Ollie to be like "....why are you in my limo?"
