Did anyone else notice that when Oliver was having his dream vision, Slade is the person who appears right as the narration says "people you've killed." But....he didn't kill Slade! Slade is sitting in a cell in prison.

I got an Under the Dome flash from the end of the episode. Why couldn't they simulate night in the dome? They would most definitely need to do that anyway. They've already done the hard part of having a giant projected screen.

The Thea subplot would have been way more interesting if everything happening was actually on the level and she was just freaking out over nothing because she's a vigilante used to crazy poo poo constantly happening and can't handle a quiet normal week in the suburbs.

Before this episode aired, I was thinking of making a post about how we knew little to nothing about Darkh/HIVE's plot beyond some underground corn, especially this late in the season, so I'm glad they at least dealt with a bit of that. Though, the motivations are still pretty unclear besides it seeming like the whole League Of Assassins "we must raze cities once in a while" thing. Whatever I guess. It's not very compelling. Not sure why they made the person Ollie gets magical help from no one from the DC universe at all apparently. Also, lol at knowing you're targets for Darkh/HIVE, and also knowing this Rubicon thing is a target, but you put the thing they want inside you anyway, instead of in a completely different place. Not as bad as Team Arrow putting the idol back together and leaving it out in the open in their, apparently, easily penetrated base of operations, but still pretty bad. But that's Arrow for ya. Someone said something about it always being light in the dome, I mean this is Arrow, but I guess if their sunlight imitating lights aren't that powerful, then they conceivably leave them on 24 hours a day so all the plants/corn/trees/whatever don't die, but whatever. Sure is gonna gently caress with their circadian rhythms!

Huh, well this was actually an interesting show. Stuff actually happened! A few things, though: 1. gently caress off, Felicity. You broke up with Ollie, quit inserting yourself into everything he tries to do. 2. Ollie proved tonight that Darkh's magic doesn't do poo poo if he can't see it coming. Seems like a pretty good opportunity for Diggle to break out a sniper rifle. 3. Thank god Andy is dead. I was really tired of that plot. 4. Lady Fortuna was wearing the hell out of that black dress.

How in the hell do you decide to do "magical woman in a DC show" and NOT do Zatanna? Zatanna was part of Justice League Dark with Constantine early on. Hell, even Zatara would have been fine.

When they first introduced her, I thought they said Bib Fortuna, and I was very confused because that's the name of Jabba the Hutt's servant guy in Return of the Jedi.

Meh...I was the only one hoping for The Creeper. Felicity had some great lines tonight AND there was a callback to her tenancy towards vehicular homicide. Well played.

Well that Thea reveal at the end of the episode was the first time in a long time I was surprised by this show. I figured it was some sort of magic mind manipulation not Pleasantville Nuke Shelter.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:edit: I guess they have the nazi gas chambers too so gas and nuke the planet? They don't have gas chambers any more. That was for testing the lake mold they had modified to produce breathable air for Genesys, and the time Darhk tried to gas the good guys was the time they finally got on the right track not to instantly kill folks, which is why the good guys aren't dead. Is everyone just too focused on Neal McDonaugh's pretty face to pay attention to what he says in this show?

As I recall, anything like "And featuring 'x' as 'y'" and "Special Appearance" are important spots in credits as they specifically call someone out and are coveted for that reason. Usually it's a bigger deal than getting lumped in with the rest of the pleb actors. Supposedly, anyway.

Usually it's a bigger deal than getting lumped in with the rest of the pleb actors. Not only is that true but there's intricate and often complex rules for many parts of the onscreen accreditation process, like what constitutes a script vs. a screenplay, whether you get an "and" or a "&" in a group credit, and just how much overbearing micromanagement of the production you've done (measured in Calif. standard Nortons per hour) before you can muscle your way onto the Producer line.

Colton Haynes just came out as gay in...okay, barely-related news. It was kind of the worst kept secret if you're familiar at all with his personal life like a creepy person but, still, good on him.

The baby is just there to distract you from the impossibility of a motorbike having that much acceleration and get that big a leap from the rear of a semi truck with 1/4 of it divided into an entrance doorway.
