Was Lance ever officially named police chief?

Pretty sure he's been in charge of SCPD since the beginning of Season 3.

In order for that to happen in episode 5, this show is going to have to move crazy fast over the next few episodes. I like it.

How am I the first person to mention that Lance wants a code name, too? :allears:

Somebody blessed with a name like Quentin Lance shouldn't get to have a code name as well, it isn't fair.

My favorite part of the new Arrow Cave is the two racks of automatic weapons unsecured right next to the front door COME ON IN EVERYONE!

Oliver doesn't have much experience designing secret bases - he would have played heaps of video games during his pre-island life though, maybe he just assumed it was a standard design feature of lairs that there should be a cache of weapons to restock at the beginning of a lair?

It's crazy how much post processing is done on TV nowadays. Anything that isn't a multicam sitcom has a ton of subtle CG work done to it.

I'm curious what you felt was off, other than that one obvious scene that was captioned 'non final VFX'. I actually didn't notice anything wrong in the episode, though maybe I was too captivated by how awesome everything was.

She would have lived alone for the 6 months Ollie was away.

I got the impression that she stopped living in the apartment after Ras killed her in it, not when Ollie moved back to Star city. Not living on your own is par for the course for the ultra wealthy though - it's far more likely that they just live the the family mansion, spending the family money, waiting to inherit. In fact, the pressure to live on your own as soon as you're an adult is a uniquely American one as far as I can tell - In Australia for example most people continue living at home at least until they finish university and get a full time job, and in many cultures the norm is to continue living with your parents until you get married.

This episode is making me really sad that Matt Ryan didn't get a better / longer lasting series because he's loving great as John Constantine.

Unfortunately he was the only thing that was loving great in Constantine the show.

In Australia you can see Constantine on Stan (one of our local Netflix competitors). You could always sign up to that with a VPN or something. We've been doing it to US Netflix for long enough you might as well return the favour.

I just watched some Supergirl, and it's really starting to annoy me how formulaic ths intro sequence voiceovers are for this, Arrow, and Supergirl.

"I'm [name], I [origin story or some poo poo], by day I [whatever], but for REALS, I [FIGHT CRIME {with organization}]. I AM...THE [superhero name]!

Arrow's is the worst though. I had to SAVE THIS CITY, so I BECAME SOMEONE ELSE. SOME...THING ELSE. But that DIDN'T WORK, so I had to become...ANOTHER SOMETHING ELSE for a few seasons. Then...I tried...SOMETHING ELSE. And then I RETIRED. But then I had to become...SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY

It's not even just DC shows - Forever did it as well (I miss that show); and iZombie does it. It appears to have become the standard opening for any vaguely hipsterish show. I didn't mind it with Arrow, I even don't mind it if all the arrow spin off shows do it, as a kind of family trait, but when everyone is doing it it becomes kinda cringeworthy.

B5 also changed the narration every seasons. I think its a way of getting across the premise of the show for new viewers.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about specifically starting the show with a voice over where the main character goes ' My name is Blah; and I am blah blah blah'.

We've still got a bunch of episodes to go in the season, so either Darhk has to escape, and find another way to get magic powers (since he doesn't appear to be any particular threat without them) or we're headed for a big reveal that he wasn't actually the big bad for the season like we thought he was - kinda like season 2 where we thought Blood was going to be the big bad, but then Slade was revealed - around this time of the season too IIRC. They may even be aiming to redeem Damien and turn him into the new Malcolm style frenemy.

We do know that he's part of a larger organization and he seems to answer to them to some degree. It might be someone higher up the chain that's revealed or it may be Dahrk's wife taking a more active role.

The twist will be that the real big bad is either the mystical dude or the woman from this season's flashbacks.

You people spent over a year wishing Laurel would get killed off because you hated her dorito face. You got what you all deserved.

But seriously, a character was written off in a TV show. Get over it, it happens all the time and it doesn't magically make a show bad. How did you people ever manage to watch Joss Whedon's stuff?

Killing a character off can help a show move forward and stay fresh. It lets new cast members come in without the show getting clunky from having too many characters. Just the other day people here were complaining that there were too many superheroes on the show now.

Edit: and if it turns out her death was faked, then it's just a fun plot twist in keeping with comic book tradition.

Joss Whedon hasn't had a TV show people have actually watched in 12 years, odds are that most people didn't see them and that you are old.

I find it hard to believe that any significant proportion of people who would be fans of a fantasy/scifi/superhero show like arrow wouldn't have also seen buffy and angel, if not when it first aired, then at some point since.

The best part of this episode was Thea casually mentioning that she hacked the prison's security cameras.

You could almost hear Willa Holland thinking, "wait, is my character actually saying this?"

Well she picked up being a ninja after a few months of lessons from Malcolm, why not pick up hacking after a few months of lessons from Felicity?

My fiance and I are kinda interested in AoS. At what point does it get good? Halfway through Season 1, or starting Season 2?

I don't think it was ever really bad, it just suffered from having to tread water till the events of winter soldier, and also from having lots of breaks between episodes. It's much better if you can binge watch it, and a lot of stuff in season one gets better retrospectively. Starting late in season one takes a lot of the impact out of a thing that happens too. I say watch the whole thing.

They change her appearance in the next halo to use motion capture data from Emily Bett Rickards. Arrow is significantly more popular than Windows Phone so they could use the cross marketing.
