I just discovered and marathoned this show. It's fantastic and John Barrowman was an incredible, bombastic villain.

Episode was loving fantastic. I love Sarah as the Canary, I loved the fights (ripping off the doorjam or whatever), the lines were great, especially the thread title. I agree with everyone else; I think Paul Blackthorne and Caity Lotz dominated the episode. I really hope Caity Lotz comes back. I'm not sure how Katie Cassidy is supposed to fill those boots. I'd much prefer for Caity Lotz to be the fulltime Canary and join the Arrow team.

Professor Ivo could just be a flashback player. Maybe he got taken out a while back? I think this season will be focusing on Brother Blood, with the League setting up for later and China White and Bronze Tiger showing up as filler fights like they did last season. Deadshot will likely be recurring for the whole series until Diggle manages to kill him in the last season. One thing I thought I'd mention is that I haven't read the comics, so i don't know most of the names. However, when Ivo said his name, from the way the actor said the line and the way the music shifted, I could tell that he was a comics player.

Let me get this straight. They found someone who's nearly as physical as Stephen Amell, a better actor than Katie Cassidy, and she outshone most of the cast combined. And she's NOT going to be the fulltime Canary? I have to ask: what the hell guys?

bobkatt013 posted:We do not know that. Things change all the time and its possible that they will keep her. I mean Lost only hired Michael Emerson for a couple of episodes and then decided to make him a full time character. Fair enough, but barring a statement from the creators, the last information we have is that Laurel is definitely becoming the Canary at some point, right?

e X posted:They already burned half his face and he is on the Amazo, so maybe Ivo even give him his comic style enhanced healing factor by experimenting a little on him. Do we know that for sure? Shado was in the plane, Slade got burned, but did we see either of them on the boat yet? I was assuming they were still on the island.

I was expecting the show to drag out the trial and have it be the season finale. Then I remembered what show I'm watching and HOLY poo poo they basically had the trial of the protagonist's mother as the B plot of the episode. The Count was incredibly fun, but I was disappointed that they never really explained how he recovered from the Vertigo. Still, a great villain and a great plot. "Ipso facto..ARROW" was a great line. I honestly expected that the Count would've laced his bullets with Vertigo, but I guess that's only Deadshot's thing? When Moira got into the car, something felt off. When the driver said "not going home," I knew something was up. When he got shot, I thought "...couldn't be." AND THEN.  I loving love this show. Also, yeah, Thea told needs to figure out that Ollie's the Arrow.

GOD. drat. That was an amazing piece of television. I did think they went overboard with "particle accelerator" and "I'm constantly late!" but Barry was great, the action was awesome, Moira namedropping Ra's made me giddy and Ollie shooting Roy was perfect and hilarious. I want to know everything that happened before the show. The island arc is incredibly engrossing to me. So glad we have an episode next week.

Rhyno posted:Why would you do that Barry? Barry joins the Arrow team and commutes from Central to Starling. Thus, while he's in the Flash show, he's only there for half an episode and the rest is Laurel Lance, Central City ADS. Then, when it gets canceled for low ratings, Barry joins Arrow fulltime and Laurel is gone. Ohgod, I just wrote actual fanfiction. And I'm not sure it's that bad.

At the end of an episode of the Flash, he gets a phone call from Ollie. Start of Arrow, Ollie calls him, and he shows up while they're still talking.

Warmachine posted:If you want to be extra safe, break up Amellsdays and put the Flash right after Arrow. As long as it doesn't utterly suck in comparison, the audience will stick around and you have a 2 hour block of solid gold. Put the Flash before Arrow, so Barry can finish his episode and then run over to Starling and help Ollie.

So, I'm rewatching the first Barry episode. Oliver's exact words about Ivo and the serum: "He's dead. So is everyone he injected with the serum, the last of which, I burned." Well, Ivo didn't inject Slade, did he? Oliver might know that Slade is alive.

GOT VIRUS FROM MP3 posted:I bet they're already strapped for time on this show but these need to be 3x longer, I wonder if the BluRays have expanded versions. Someone said there was a deleted scene that justified Laurel going to work in the finale, so yeah, I'd say the episodes don't have room for longer fight scenes. They could reduce the amount of plot development to lengthen the fight scenes, but I don't think anyone wants that.

I have to agree on Katie Cassidy. I rewatched the pilot and she was fine. Sometime during the first season, her face changed or her make-up changed and she looks really different, different enough to bother me.

VagueRant posted:Super Roy irks me. I kind of wish they would have had the balls to kill him off when he got injected. 'cause right now we've seen 3/4 mirakuru (just say miracle!x100) patients respond incredibly well to the ULTRA DEADLY KILL SERUM. Three of the four people we've seen get injected on screen have reacted well. Blood had an entire lab full of people who didn't. Slade and Roy were both technically dead for a while. Slade woke up on his own because he's awesome. Roy needed some chat compressions before he came back. The formula hasn't been perfected yet.

At least the Oliver/Arrow connection is more tenuous than the Peter Parker/Spider-Man connection. Oliver has a lot more deniability.

Laurel was useful and that was all fine. Her scenes were good and they made use of her pill subplot. But loving DEATHSTROKE. A live action Deathstroke that was totally awesome despite being totally superfluous and fanservice. Also, Roy had a great arc in this episode and I'm psyched to see how Oliver trains him.

We know Slade wants to destroy Ollie and everything he holds dear, but Blood doesn't make the impression on me that he just works for Slade, he does have a motive on its own. Blood wants to save Starling City. In his own way. With an army of Mirakuru soldiers. I may be projecting, but I think he's planning to destroy the other part of the city.
