I really do think it's Diggle.

This could kind of make sense given his helmet and the character backstory.

You might say his death inspired a sense of ... fair play? :heysexy:

However that was another scene highlighting how Arrows stunt guys don't get how bullets work - 4 guys firing full auto at a target 10 yards away, miss with everything.

This is pretty much comic_books.txt so I'm willing to give them a pass. :v:

"So. Behind my back your spa-date was really digging up my dead girlfriend and crime-fighting partner, flying with her corpse to Nanda Parbat, resurrecting her despite the clear affect it had on Thea, and coming back with a Pet Cemetery version of the person she was. Do I have this straight?"

"Ollie, I'm not understanding why you're so upset! I'm going to stand over here and pout while your sister flies into an irrational rage and tries to kill you"

I like that we have at least a 50% chance of him just going :ughh: and rolling with it rather than throwing a pissy fit and spending the next four episodes emo as hell. I'm starting to like this show again, you guys. :keke:

Not being suspicious of Oliver being on the island and murdering people is fine as it's the equivalent of finding Paris Hilton on the island if she went missing. Who the hell would suspect her of doing anything? Immediately making her your armed thug makes it hilarious though.

I got the feeling it was more "uh huh. He stepped on a mine. Says the person that has supposedly lived on this insanely dangerous island for three years. Look you killed one of my guys, so you're clearly better than he was, welcome aboard"

Felicity owns, Rage-Filled Murderess White Canary owns, League of Assassins is goofy as poo poo and somehow owns because of it. Like every time they show Namba Parbat from the outside, I expect music from a sitcom followed by a laugh track when Malcolm enters.

Tiny Ray Palmer and Mister Terrific is gonna own.

For people who don't know Olliver is the Green Arrow, that speech was pretty weird.

After five years in hell, I returned with only one goal; save my city. That's why I spent two years running my business into the ground, and then my mom ran for mayor, and then I didn't do anything for a year, but that was all just part of my plan to Save This City.

"I guess you could say I... failed this city."
"Wow that's exactly something the Green Arrow would say! He's got my vote!"

Holy poo poo that episode. Ollie uncorking on Lance was loving cathartic as hell, especially for the "You always held yourself as more righteous! And you were right!" Just utterly stunned by the betrayal.

So now that Sara's loose I assume she's just going to murder her way across Star City until Constantine blunders into her.

I think that might have been one of the best episodes of this show period. Everything clicked so well. And the scene with Lance and Oliver was one of the better acted scenes for both of them in the series. The adjustments in tone have really fit the show well.

Next week we get Constantine! And then the week after that we get Ray Palmer, possibly!

It's an exciting time to be alive. :unsmith:

Anyone think the grave is Oliver's? Maybe Dark does something during the campaign that forces him to fake his death, thereby killing any chance of the city being restored.

That would be a very acceptable outcome, but I seriously doubt that's the case.

Actually, the entire graveyard is full of Ollie's friends and family. The grave he was standing over was for Barry, who didn't last long once that scene ended.

True, also I like that GA is willing to break the no kill rule.

One thing that isn't getting enough love is that Ollie is using tranq arrows sometimes. It's only been in a few shots, but you can very clearly see hypodermics on the end of the arrows.

Now where's my motherfucking boxing glove arrows? And don't give me that Wildcat's Gym poo poo, I want a real arrow that blows up into a boxing glove and then punches a HIVE agent.

Laurel ended up with the best fight scene so far this season and I think that's great. They need to have Bamford direct more episodes because the action scenes were on point tonight

I disagree. Thea fought into a goddamn elevator, up three floors, into another hallway, through a holding cell, and back to the hallway. It's basically every gag we've ever done in RAW threads where people keep fighting at the end of the show, onto a plane, off the plane, and onto the next show.

Except it actually happened.

That was a really cool scene too! But I liked Laurel's the best mostly because it's a culmination of all that training and it's finally paying off.

That's actually a pretty good point! You look at her just dropping effortlessly off a two story building without a sound and then kicking the living poo poo out of everyone, and then you look at her in seasons 1/2, and your brain can't process how this is the same character or even actress.

Unfortunately, while the regular timeline has improved quite a bit, the flashbacks have regressed significantly. It's like the writers are stubbornly holding on to the "formula" instead of just ditching the flashbacks and focusing 100% on the present.

I expected a better Malcolm-Darkh fight. As things stand though, Malcolm was getting his rear end kicked thoroughly, and would be very dead if Oliver had not intervened.

Which begs the question of why Darkh doesn't simply waltz into Nanda Parbat, bitch-slap Malcolm and take the crown.

Because he's already done the League of Assassins thing, it's boring and HIVE is where it's at.
