Drifter posted:I wasn't sure what to think about Summer's character. She seemed like a typical faux-antagonist. She's not going to repeat on the show, is she? I wonder how that character would advance any development. But I guess Ollie has to get better at running his company somehow, so maybe she pushes that side of him. I believe Amell had said he's so far not seem anything to suggest she's a villain.

qbert posted:Just realized the actress who plays Canary was that girl from Mad Men that tried to seduce Don in California. I remember her more as the other end of the most  phone call ever.Great episode. I do wish the recast wasn't so completely different top the pilot actress though (on the other hand I love Caity Lotz - giving her dark hair in the reshoot would probably have been fine). The Brother Blood scene was badass - I wonder if he'll go right on the nose and call the drug Crucible. One thing - where did Sarah say she knew Slade? I must've missed that.

bbf2 posted:The DA that Laurel works you're referring to is just some guy for Laurel's subplot. Summer Glau and Brother Blood are side villains. (Glau is a corporate villain, Brother Blood the criminal side). The main villain for this season is the League of Assassins, led by motherfucking Ra's Al Ghul. I don't know if we'll see Ra's himself in the flesh this season, but the League of Assassins itself is clearly the biggest threat and will be the main antagonists. Yeah, I'm betting Ra's will be the final shot of the season. Of course, I didn't expect to see Canary unmasked this soon, so what do I know

Glorious. Rarity posted:Isobel Ruchev is a separate DC character, so it's unlikely but still possible I guess. Mixing characters isn't unheard of. I can think of one series who recently jumped into it headfirst. Namely, Elementary. Also, Blackthorne owns. Detective Lance vs an Assassin was great. Especially the one-liner.

Krad posted:This was probably asked back in season 1, but is there any reason why they call it the League of Assassins and not Shadows? I thought it was to tiptoe around Batman and anything that had to do with him, but if you're going to name Ra's all the time... yeah, don't see the point of the name change. League of Assassins is the original name from the comic books. League of Shadows is a pure Nolan invention since (from what I heard) he realised that Bruce joining a group called the League of Assassins only to say "Wait, you want me to KILL people? That's not my style" after all the training would be really stupid. Arrow is using the proper name. That said, I prefer League of Shadows.

TheChad posted:Because the movie Bane is horrible and I cannot accept that. If you're talking about TDKR Bane the Nolan trilogy already exists in its own universe and has nothing to do with Arrow at all. The only Batman continuity Arrow MIGHT be connected to - and it's still nothing but rumours right now - is the one started by Man of Steel and the upcoming sequel. And hell, I can imagine they would stay away from Bane as a Batfleck villain since he was just in Rises, so Arrow could actually be the best place for him.

Torrannor posted:How dare these others for enjoying a grounded tv show on the basis of comics, and complaining if the show moves away from that basic premise. I'm not even sure how much superpowers we will see, so the complaints may be premature. But it is not like comic fans "own" the show, people who prefer a more down to earth approach (in comparison to outright superhero shows at least) have every right to be pissed if the show changes. I for one love the idea of a show being 'grounded' for an extended amount of time before introducing supernatural elements. We never get it, though, because of these types who hate change and whine whenever the basic premise shifts. I'm looking forward to Arrow testing the approach out.

Narcissus1916 posted:I'm someone who prefers grounded superhero stories to the more outlandish high science fiction that occasionally becomes popular in the field. (Man of Steel was a proudly SciFi film - and suffered mightily for it) And certainly, I think its valid to get squeamish at the show heading into uncharted waters, even if those uncharted waters are precisely the reason this season has been so engaging. This is exactly what I was saying. I want to see characters witness supernatural events and be shocked and unsettled right along with them. You don't get that from a show where the supernatural revelations come in the pilot and are the show's basic premise. A show going with sorta-realism for a full season and a half before introducing powers puts us in the shoes of the characters a lot better.

VDay posted:The creators have said that the Flash show gives them a chance to explore some of the more fantastical/mystical/magical heroes/villians while keeping Arrow grounded in some kind of relative realism, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a whole bunch of consequences to the particle accelerator exploding. I actually don't like this at all. The idea of fantastical elements entering Arrow and the characters having to deal with these huge changes in how they see the world sounds much more interesting than having one 'grounded' show and one 'fantastical' show when we KNOW they're set in the same universe anyway.

VDay posted:To be fair I'm just paraphrasing based on what (little) I remember about the interview. I think it's less about having Arrow be the serious, grounded show while Flash is super whacky magical fun hour and more about the Flash show opening some doors for them to explore characters that don't make 100% complete sense on Arrow. Ehh, I still don't like the idea of them sticking stuff in Flash just because it doesn't make much sense in Arrow. The shows are concretely set in the same universe - taking a concept or character that doesn't work in one and putting it in the other while never mentioning it feels silly to me. It feels like if there was a series of movies about another DCU character that had magic and stuff in it despite being established as set in the same universe as the Nolan Batman movies, and dealt with it by simply never mentioning it in the Batman films. If they're going to have magic and superpowers in this universe, just all the way - there's no logical reason why it would just never show up in Starling City. I mean, I'm probably being pedantic about something that won't be a huge deal, but I've never been a fan of the tendency for shows set in the same universe to feature huge events in one show that are never even mentioned in the other. Like how the impending rise of the First Evil is never so much as discussed in Angel S4, apart from a small crossover, and even then Angel only talks about the First in the Buffy episode. I want Arrow and Flash to flout that with semi-frequent crossovers and discussion of big events happening in each show, even if it's a throwaway line or a news broadcast. quote:And yeah, they need to have Barry just randomly appear in every other episode of Arrow, even if for just one second or to just zoom by for 2-3 frames. This, however, is the best possible idea.

Kai Tave posted:Hey, actual Black Canary team-up time. So I'm not quite sure how I feel about the "Sara's alive" thing, because S1 made her death a big, big loving deal in a lot of ways, so to suddenly go "oh no, the thing is she actually survived and Ollie knew, but then maybe he thought she died again because reasons"...like, it's not as though either comics or soap operas are shy about that sort of dramatic twist, but Sara's death wasn't played as just a random tragedy, it was presented as one of the big reasons why Ollie became the person he is, so for them to not just bring her back but to reveal that Ollie knew about her survival beyond the shipwreck kinda has me hoping that the writers have a handle on things. Well, we don't know the details of her second 'death' yet. It still seems like Ollie is responsible somehow, so it still fits. It's a bit iffy, though, I agree.
