Oliver is overreacting. Barry wouldn't have any problem with what Thea has been doing.

Oliver: "Thea almost electrocuted someone to death!"
Barry: "Almost? Man, I shocked some dude so hard last night, he literally shattered."

Nah, it's definitely Thea in that grave. Sarah needs to kill the one who killed her to keep her sanity and her bloodlust in check. Since Thea is kinda hosed in that department (seeing as Ra's was killed by Ollie) and she refuses to keep killing people to not go crazy every few weeks, she'll probably offer for Sarah to kill her or something.

I mean, either that or it's all of Flash's villains from this season all in the same grave and Ollie is just going "christ, he just can't stop killing them, huh?"

All Felicity will need to do is talk-cry when meeting his son "for the first time" and everyone will believe her because this is the CW.

Gotta hand it to Malcolm for saving us from not getting another series.

Oliver, next time all your friends give you the go ahead to kill someone who has so many reasons to be wiped off the face of the earth, you loving do it. Or hell, get Barry to do i-- wait, he's somewhere inaccessible at the moment.

Also no way is Damien going to use his son as leverage, especially since he just saved his family.

I love Dahrk, he's one of the most delightfully evil villains on TV.

I mean, being able to force-choke someone from across the planet is a pretty threatening thing to do alone. But he's loving giddy about doing it. We don't even know how long he's been at this, given his appearance on LoT.

Felicity was the worst part about this episode, followed closely by Vixen.

I dunno, Vixen actually did stuff, never sulked, and the only meh thing was half her dialogue being expository, which was kinda needed for those who never watched that CWSeed thing or knew who she was.

Plus, that "don't tell Barry" bit was great.

Maybe her last request was for Ollie to fake her death so she can go to Cisco's show.

After all, that was the only show that made her seem happy.

Hey I just remembered the fake death pinch that Oliver did earlier this season with the Russian woman as well as to fake murder someone for the mob back in season 2. What's the bet that the writers haven't toally forgotten that he can do that and work that into it (0%).

Because the fake murder trick instantly fake-killed them, not cause them to convulse.

It also helped that Slade was the only one who's sole reason for being the bad guy was just to gently caress Oliver's life up in every conceivable way. No big evil plan to take over a city or kill anyone else for some dumb ideals or whatever, just a straight-up revenge story.

Can we have "person who actually uses the Canary Cry more than once an episode" as the new Black Canary?

Like, she doesn't even have to be called 'Black Canary,' she can go as 'Midnight Canary' or 'Obsidian Canary'.

Okay I haven't seen this episode. Does Felicity's mom seriously use Lance's dead daughter as some sort of...relationship leverage against him?

I think the Smoak's really have a problem with small white lies that do not affect them at all. Like, what good comes from Lance saying that he knew about Laurel? If Laurel DID come back, would she be pissed that he signed a statement saying that he never knew her secret identity? Especially if it meant that he got to get his badge back, which she knew means a lot to him.

poo poo, I just don't understand. I get it that she doesn't want to be with someone who lies all the time, but I thought that was because Noah was making promises and leaving them all the time, not just keeping secrets that doesn't affect them at all. There's forced drama, then there's creating problems out of thin air and goes nowhere.

Wait, didn't we JUST have a plot where he was keeping it hidden that he was working for HIVE to protect his daughter and Donna was going to leave him if he didn't tell her? Are we going to have this happen ever five or so episodes?

Oh god, we're in a lying-loop.

Agents of SHIELD is great, so much better than the Marvel movies even. Id like to know what superhero TV shows you're watching that make AOS look like 'mostly trash'

Seriously, it's so good.

Like, the characters are actually logical and cool spy poo poo happens all the time. How can anyone not like it just because the first half of the first season was rocky, and yet sit through two seasons of this and barely complain?


VV I said "rocky," not bad. It was clear that they were setting up multiple plotlines and that just made the second half of the season that much more worth it, imo.

With Arrow and Flash, characters do insanely stupid and contrived things to create drama and stretch the plot for 20+ episodes. In AoS, the characters actually grow and act like adults.

A bunch of retarded slaves? If he had let John Hannah perfect the formula so it would create actual inhumans instead of mentally deficient slaves than yea Hive would be way better.

also I should have said "more dangerous to humanity" plan instead of "better" plan.

The point of Hive was that he was a parasite who just wanted more hosts, no matter what. As long as he could "connect" with them, he was satisfied. That's why he didn't care if they looked like "retarded slaves," so long as he was controlling them.
