Just marathon'd the first season and a half and holy poo poo this show :stare:

I want more of everything awesome. More Slade, more Felicity loving Smoak, more Diggle, more Sara, more Barrowman, more Officer Harry Dresden, more Moire descending into awesome villainy. Everything owns.

Laurel is the only weak end and that's because they aren't giving her anything to do. Now that she's not Single Female Lawyer fighting injustice, she just is sort of there. A way to fix that is as Slade wants to corrupt people Ollie loves, who better than the girl in the picture Ollie stared at all the time. Laurel could be that person to ruin Oliver's world. A Ravager if you will :unsmigghh:

He runs an organization that kidnaps people, shoots them full of experimental drugs that will probably kill them and then brainwashes the survivors into murderous fanatics.

Sara straight up was in the League of Assassins and I'm pretty sure Oliver thinks she's ok.

I can report that FakeClockUp works with the beta of MobileSubstrate, and also makes iOS 7 a hell of a lot snappier on an iPhone 4, especially with some of the fancier graphical flourishes disabled. I'm amazed at how fluid and snappy 7 feels on here given some of the horror stories circulating about running it on old hardware. It feels like a new phone at this point.

I hope they kill her off because her character is pretty worthless now. I still can't believe she is running for mayor. Unless that is just the set up to have Blood or Slade kill her.

Yeah, a morally ambiguous maternal figure who will probably end up in a seat of power who also isn't on anybody's side except the one that defends her family is worthless. Can't think of any way that could be interesting later on.

Her character is kind of ridiculous super nerd manic virgin whore. Just every single cliche you could think of for a girl character in a superhero show. Clearly designed as a male nerd fantasy.

But I think she's completely awesome anyway and somehow makes it work. She should be way too cute by half to actually be charming, way too hot to be believable as a nerd, the magical hacking should be a lot more embarrassing than it is, and the character should make us feel kind of patronized, but the character just works for some reason, and that reason is the actress just doing a phenomenal job.

It still makes me laugh that Felicity got kicked out of a computer system by some random security desk mooks.

The reason lots of comic vigilantes (barring grimdark 90s anti heroes trying to prove how edgy they are) avoid killing is that vigilantism shits all over due process enough as it is and being able to murder people with you eye lasers or power rings without oversight would be some Justice Lords poo poo real quick.

Edit: God this show is loving aces. Slade showing up looking all relaxed in Moire's goddamn drawing room to schmooze is the best goddamn declaration of challenge. He might as well just showed up in the Arrow Cave and done a freaking haka, it has roughly the same effect.

The worst thing about this episode is Laurel not continuing to go off the deep end, thus enabling her to eventually become Slade's murderous engine of revenge.

Arrow, you were so close. Ollie had written her off and everything. :negative:

Goodamn that episode. Slade was smug as gently caress and it was amazing.

And its not fair to compare acting in this show when Bennett and Amell are making GBS threads on everybody else from a great height with their performances. Katie Cassidy would be fine if her character wasn't poo poo, and Lotz is fine except when she needs to ham it up.

It's actually pretty impressive that an entire series of setup around the Suicide Squad (with Diggles!) fighting Deathstroke, with the Arrow team coming together for the first time is being entirely overshadowed by 2 seconds of possible Harley Quinn in a trailer.
