Please please let that preview be Manu and not a LOT Deathstroke-son thing.

If they give me Manu as Slade again due to time fuckery I'll happily forget all the poo poo from all three shows.

Amell is really good at what he does, and I don't understand the writer's fixation on making him this dour, "all this poo poo is my fault" character all the time. Give me Amell acting like the JLU Green Arrow and I'd probably forgive any sin the show ever committed. It feels like a massive waste to keep Ollie on such a one note all the time, and it's not all that interesting to boot. Happy Ollie early in the season was such a breath of fresh air, but they've redacted almost every hint of it.

I mean, come on. I fell in love with Amell the moment I saw this:

Doesn't make much sense with the description, and believe it or not, they already had Cyrus Gold on either this or The Flash, I can't remember which.

edit: Ah, it was Arrow. He was a Sebastian Blood henchman: http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/Cyrus_Gold

Maybe it's just Tommy back from the dead with a new face.

They teased Gold as Solomon Grundy but have yet to follow up on it.

And who says Grundy doesn't know how to have a good time?

Given that they threw out limiting the cast to only Green Arrow characters by the second season, I'd widen my search to the whole of the DCU.

The article suggested The Guardian which is a possibility. Honestly, the description is very vague given that this is comic books as it essentially just narrows it down to male heroes with a sad backstory. It could even be a preexisting one with the details changed as they've done with others in the show so it could almost be anyone without a skillset to really narrow it down.

It could also be Midnighter, now that I think about it.

I hope not, they probably wouldn't be able to actually do anything anyway. Well, Chas could die horribly a few times and Zed could look sullen and draw a picture?

I forgot how laugh out loud hilarious Oliver's low pitch "Help! Somebody Help!" when he is running Black Canary into the hospital room was. Hoooooooly poo poo HOW did they allow that to stay in? It sounded so stupid, like a grade schoolers impression of a retarded person. Maybe they were going for a "this guy was sad and desperate" thing, but just from a pure production standpoint it was incredibly piss poor v/o work and it never should have been there.

Wow that line delivery/modulation was impressively bad. It's supposed to be this emotional moment and he's yelling like Chunk

Yay for no flashbacks. Question: Isn't the totem one gets their magic from supposed to be close by in order to use magic? How was Ollie able to pull that off? Probably just thinking too hard...

Thea being unknowingly gaslit was super creepy. That being said, that's a massive cavern the dome is housed in and must take a fuckton of power. The fact that no one knows is a bit odd, if easily handwavable.
