So Ollie is going to unmask himself to the city in the finale, right? That's where this whole mayor thing and "hope" stuff is leading?

Oh god, the hacking is getting dumber and dumber every episode. ---edit--- Also the Smoaks are so bad... "OMG NO LIES EVER, NOT EVEN SMALL ONES" "I lied to you since you were child" "Its okay mom" Something tells me that no lesson are going to be learned from this.

Oracle posted:This is especially hilarious if you've been following Russia's adventures in Syria, where we found out that modern-day Russian fighter pilots don't even use GPS (they have their own shittier system, GLONASS). I like how they kept saying the Rubicon (terrible name btw) controls all the nukes of NATO allies. Then one of the missiles is Russian. Pretty cool that the Legends of Tomorrow messing around in Russia so messed up the time line for Russia collapsing that by 2016 Russia has joined NATO, or at least that is what I am taking by that terrible writing. Like when they bring up Lian Yu and say it is in the South China Sea. Ok, that makes sense to me. This is a disputed zone so no one is sending conventual soldiers and using para military forces or rogue agents like Oliver to get assets or acquire information. But just hand waving that Black Driver (Diggle's) wife is talking to the President of the United States and the President is worried that the hope the world is up to two masked vigilantes that poo poo pissed me right off. The USFG knows that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow and just lets it slide because? The USFG gets its super non-hackable nuke device hacked and there is not a black squad putting a bag over Felicity's head? I know the USFG is pretty incompetent but Malcolm Merlyn killed 500+ people in a domestic act of terrorism in the Star City neighborhood of the Glades, pretty sure the CIA/FBI (ARGUS) are just going to let that slide and somehow not know about a league of assassins because the USFG just lets people off of terrorism charges because they faked their death pretty ok. Like all that facial recognition software that Felicity always uses that finds people in 2 seconds, why isn't that working for ARGUS to find Merlyn, it is not like he is doing anything to his face besides excessive toner. I suppose Oliver Queen could run for President of the United States, if he was on the ballot in Star City as a mayor someone had to vet him, and those someones talk to the FBI for background checks. And someone at the FBI (ARGUS) approves Oli as an appropriate choice. The amount of DNA and evidence that the Green Arrow must leave around has to overflowing evidence storage facilities. tl;dr DC TV shows exist in a world without a Federal Government No Luck Needed fucked around with this message at 15:26 on May 19, 2016 |

Neal McDonough is way, way too good for this show. It was a perfectly average episode, even with the Smoak family crap. I guess damning with faint praise of "I didn't hate it" I DID hate those dutch angles in the Ollie v Speedy fight, though. Just annoying as all hell.

That was a really nothing episode to me. I know things happened, important things even, but none of it was particularly compelling. The idol corrupts, okay, so sad. Bye Russian chick I have yet to connect with in any way. Darhk is now SUPER DUPER powerful. Which would matter if he didn't enter the show as already way too powerful for our heroes to handle. Ruve dying was great, gently caress her. The Smoak women were awful, but what else is new? Quentin can't even lie on an affidavit without Donna threatening to leave him, but she can lie to Felicity for like 30 years? Cool. Anarky is a neat pseudo-Joker. They can keep him around.

Is it just me or does a bigger threat almost always rear it's head right after merlyn does something pretty horrible so instead of beating him senseless they team up to fix the issue? It's gotten a little annoying at this point.

Aphrodite posted:Felicity took killing tens of thousands of people pretty well. I was worried that they would go hard on her moping but instead she threw off a literal blanket of guilt and went right back to being chipper. The entire Felicity plot of this episode was just dogshit writing in every way. I don't care how bad your marriage was, maybe wait a fuckin day to argue because the entire world might be nuked. They should have just spent the episode in the Ark because at least Ollie and Diggle's adventures in fake suburbia were enjoyable. If somebody can explain how Anarky could fight off two trained assassins and a special forces dude by himself, though, that would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure Anarky has kicked Arrow's rear end twice (so they could do their Anarky/Thea thing) and it hasn't been commented on at all. That seems a little strange!

Unfortunately he's a good actor and his character is fun, so they're not gonna kill him.

So apart from all the actors typing "code" into a screen that in post they completely obscured with the eye of sauron, the episode was even more dire than that bit of shitness. Thea did with one arrow want her dad failed to do with years of planning , no one mentions all of the people who were sucked into the hole. Horrible snippet flashbacks which only served to break up the pacing of the main show, a bunch of no impact action scenes, ollie coming to some sort of realisation based on a 30 second conversation with a loving idiot who buys into wiping the world clean in nuclear armageddon is the best future for his mute wife and teenager, and a bunch of other shitness I can't care about

rocket_man38 posted:The star trek vi references make me think the writers are self aware of how corny the show is and are just having fun with it. That's the thing though, they are not having fun with it. Ollie making soufflé, that was fun. Speedy gleefully firing arrows while hanging off of Black Canary's motorcycle, that was fun. Constantly quivering lips and cry talking about secrets are not fun. I think that's part of why people hate Felicity so much. She was originally a fun character and then the relationship drama made her unbearable. Season 4 is Felicity.

If they were able to make a Suicide Squad series, I feel like that would've been a great place to punt Merlyn rather than just keeping him around in Arrow. LoT might work though depending on where it's going.
