Oh yeah, wasn't there another rumor article that explicitly claimed there was a Huntress show in talks?

While the character is a little better in Arrow I doubt the character would get another shot at carrying a show.

So whats the over/under on Slade getting a Suicide Squad offer before or after breaking out the first time?

I just realized that now that Quentin is a captain we're less likely to get a scene where he's face to face with Ra's and Ra's refers to him as "Detective".

"The murderer's name is...uh, Kyle Nimbus. He's this guy who may or may not be able to will himself into a gaseous volume of cyanide. Good luck?"

Barry can punch someone at over 760mph. Ra's would still beat him because Plot Reasons...but realistically, a ~150 pound Barry punching a guy at 760mph would literally rip that guy's head off his body. Even at a lower speed, pretty much any hit Barry connected would be like the force of a car crash dispelled over a fist-sized area.

Flash tends to undersell that physical reality. Because it would be extremely horrifying if Barry accidentally shattered a bank robbers' sternum and destroyed his internal organs.

"Woo! Cisco, I got him!"
"Take that, Captain Mischief--- wait, holy gently caress, Barry, gently caress! What did you?!? Jesus!"

There's no speed force, punching someone at 760mph would have near the same effect on Barry. Remember how he to punch the one dude in the exact right place or he'd gib himself?

Do you think that anything else will ever come from the book of names though? It's still sort of odd that several people apparently kept a list of the names of the participants in some shady business dealings. I always wonder if there is more to the list than that. :shrug:

(Not saying that I think it has anything to do with Argus though).

No that was the point to the list, it was a list of people making money off exploiting the city that those partaking in the Undertaking could blackmail for money or resources in order to achieve their part of the plan.

But Arrow's version of the demon's head? He's weary. Not old or weak, just tired of the same cycles playing out again and again. Matt Nable could have played "you're just a boy" as an insult, swinging a metaphorical dick around. Instead, Nable says the line like a literal truth - Oliver's only been a vigilante for a hair past thirty months. He is just a boy, not in his mental state but in his actual learned experience.

I loved the delivery, like Ra's knew exactly how it was going to end from the moment Ollie walked into the room and how he almost felt bad about having to kill someone with so much left to live for because of Merlyn.

Come to think of it it is a little strange given all the crazy poo poo that has happened to him in flashbacks since the S1 flashbacks that one day he just remembered that book of names his dad had and decided to make it his life all of a sudden.

They'll probably tie it back into the flashbacks later on but right now everything about that book seems like the loosest of loose ends and I don't feel like that's intentional.

Well they're showing his development as the flashbacks go on, In S1- 2 his only real concern was his survival and that of his immediate friends. Now's he's learning to increase his vision a little bit while developing the ends justifies the ends ethos he has in present day S1. Eventually something will happen him to open his eyes and start worrying about people he's never met.

I feel like Ollie isn't half as tough in the flash backs as he was in the first episode and we're nearly halfway through said flashbacks. Does that make sense?

We've seen glimpses of that Ollie in the flashbacks probably won't take too much to start molding him into that person full time.

Gotham is a grimdark prequel to Adam West's Batman. It starts out rather disjointed with some characters being uberhams while others are trying to play it straight, but after a few episodes everyone starts finding some middle ground. You wind up with (mostly) serious characters in a crazy city, and while I wouldn't call it good enough to get off my "guilty pleasure" list, it works. Aside from Fish and Barbara, but it works for everyone else.

Also, Penguin and Zsaz alone make it worth watching. Those actors are stealing every scene they're in.

So they've even improved on Montoya? From what I watched she was awful.

I wonder if the show's version of the Pit isn't a Fountain of Youth thing, but some sort of mystical repository of all the Ra's that have bathed in it. The new Ra's gets dunked in and gains the knowledge and memories of all his predecessors.

Do we know that for sure though (even though its probably the case)? Also they didn't know where he was before the botanical gardens so he totally could have shot off a voice mail or whatever.

Not for sure, no. It was Argus people that were shooting at them on the docks. I figure Waller ordered her people to make sure they didn't get on the boat because Marc Singer had it rigged to explode. Now it's probably Argus trying to track them down to bring them in. They already have Masao and his wife and that's how they knew to search the botanical gardens.

If this is the case why have ARGUS goons in the botanical garden when they could just have Masao and Tatsu waiting to explain things.

Two reasons, first is that they don't want all the principles together and out in the open when Singer is looking to kill them and second, extra tv drama.

So was Ray's hosed up eyes in the episode going to be a point about the strain he's under or does Brandon Routh have an issue that make-up didn't bother fixing?


Edit: VVV His right eye was blood shot the entire episode, like he burst a vessel in them. I didn't want to assume something was wrong with the actor since it fits into the character.
