Solid opener, and the Lance reveal was a nice surprise. Not sure that I like the THIS SEASON, SOMEONE WILL DIE teaser, but other than that I have few complaints. The episode did seem considerably more light-hearted than it was at any point last season, so we'll see if that keeps up.

I went on Facebook and Amell is doing a live postshow Q&A for the west coast broadcast.

He does not stop. :allears:

I thought that was a really, really good episode. Like, end of Season 2-quality, in my opinion. The Ollie/Lance living room argument was amazing and both have been killing it so far this season. So excited to see John Constantine next episode even though I know absolutely nothing about him.

Constantine the show had its moments and Matt Ryan was probably the best thing about it so he should make for a good guest star. He'll also fit in with the more bantery tone they've been going for this year.

Staggeringly unqualified person possibly becoming mayor of a big city is possibly one of the most realistic plot lines this show has ever done.

Oliver Queen will build a wall around Star City while cutting taxes.

Didn't Kingpin make Spider-Man figures in Ultimate Spider-Man.

Yeah one of the running gags in Ultimate Spiderman is several people who aren't Peter are making money off of Spiderman. But in this case I would assume Snart is cold gunning those people and taking that money.

Does Arrow get an ep next week? The Flash episode looks fantastic and I am okay with that being the Arrowverse midseason finale.

But consistent with the forensics expert leaving his blood on Arrow's arrow on the floor unexamined earlier. It's not like they had a scene immediately before that showing gene sequencing and them looking for a way to fight an immortal with science at the time or anything.

I mean Barrowman clearly has no issues with the security systems these people use so it's not like it would have mattered anyway.

The problem with killing the baby mama is Oliver would have to take in William, and there's a 1000% percent chance adding a kid to the cast would make the show worse.

And killing William would be Jessica Jones-level hosed. I don't think this is the show to be doing that kind of story.

I take it you haven't been introduced to Genghis Clarke.

Well aware. The 100 is probably the bleakest show on TV right now (and possibly the CW's best show). But Arrow shouldn't be taking cues from it. A lot of what people didn't like about s3 came from how dark the show got.

Yup. Midseason finale's tonight. They put out an extended trailer for it somewhere.

E:Preview clip for tonight introducing Curtis's husband, whom they are so gonna kill off.

Also, Darhk has a family?

Darhk's obviously a ruthless motherfucker but one of the points they were making in that episode was that HIVE has a plan to change the world that its members truly believe in. So why wouldn't he have a family?

Everything he's posted is how much he loving loves being on Arrow. Does he turn down movie roles left and right or something because Casey Jones is a pretty big deal for a TV actor.

Nah, it's by far his biggest movie role so far--the first Ninja Turtles actually did pretty well at the box office despite being a pile of garbage. He's probably not allowed to talk about it yet.

Thoroughly enjoyed that episode. Offing Waller was one of the best "Oh poo poo." moments this show has pulled off in a while, even if it makes complete sense in retrospect.

You can't score less than a 3, and 3 doesn't look like peacefully sleeping.

What Dahrk really needs is Jere Burns and his amazing reaction eyebrows as a trusted henchman.

Straight up write Wynn Duffy onto the show. It wouldn't be any more nonsensical than the ending to last night's ep and the payoff would be way better.

Tonight's Legends of Tomorrow ep established a bit of a spoiler for Arrow: It takes place in Star City in 2046. Connor Hawke is Diggle's son, and it sounded like Diggle died well after this season's events, so it can't be him in the grave.

Ville Valo posted:

This is an alternate future 2046; its events aren't tied to this season of Arrow.

The episode made it perfectly clear that the 2046 they visited was one where the LoT team never returned from their mission. So unless the team returns to 2016 before the gravestone scene and changes the timeline in such a way that gets Diggle killed, he can't die this season.

Unless this is just some really bad plotting, which again, you can't rule out with these writers.

Amell's live on Facebook giving out pizza at a place in NYC as part of some Ninja Turtles promotion. I hope that movie works out okay for him, he is so pumped about it. :unsmith:
