I still like the show and the Roy gifs are always hilarious. If / when he shows up this season, he better flip on something or someone.

I'll always prefer this over Flash because Green Arrow and Black Canary are way cooler than Barry Allen.

Ya but Barry can solve all Oliver's problems in like 2 seconds. See: busting them out of league prison last season.

Finally it looks like we are getting some traction on the most important plot that has been around since season 1:


(whoever made this gif I love you)

I hope the flashbacks this year are less poo poo than the ones they did for season 3. God those were so loving bad.

You know, besides the board room hilarity, I forgot how loving easily Oliver infiltrated that group on the island.

"Yea he totally stepped on a landmine. Gotta take my word for it."

"Hmm guess so. Btw do you want his job? I also believe you have been here for 3 years because you ripped your shirt and put some dirt on your arms. I better not ask to see where you lived or for any sort of proof."

That was a callback. When Ray went crazy overworking himself last year she changed it to that and finally told him the password after he gave her the D.

Still terrible. Also I hope Felicity has another backup if Mr Terrific couldn't brute force that password.

I actually kind of appreciated when Constantine said the Island is some sort of nexus for evil bad poo poo. It makes Slade's line in second season "That Island has a hold on you" something more sinister and deliberate. That the Island literally marks you with bad juju makes Sara's whole "Darkness inside of me" line literal. Probably not intended but I liked it.

I'm waiting for season 4 when Waller sends him back to the island to infiltrate a Russian gang.

That scene was insane. Any human being not being controlled by a script would have flipped the gently caress out on her. I'm glad they loving erased it from existence cuz drat.

It'll be his baby momma. Then Oliver has to adopt his bastard and train him like Robin Green Arrow's version of Robin. Hijinks ensue. Felicity is mad.

Well Dharhk has been a lot of smiles and laughter.

They are completely pointless now and should be dropped. It was bad and super boring last season and it's still more of the same this season.

I agree with this completely. I don't understand why they insist on keeping the flashbacks going at the point, as they lost their appeal seasons ago

how else will Oliver learn to trust other team members with his problems if he didn't remember that in a flashback?

I thought for sure that the stuff with Oliver stepping into the duel and even cutting off Malcolm's hand was a show and part of a bigger master plan that the two of them had constructed together.

But I guess it isn't? Which would be fine, I guess, but the thing that makes no sense is that apparently Oliver is able to completely kick Malcolm's rear end and neutralize him in like 10 seconds. So doesn't that make him a complete non-threat from this point forward? Especially now that he's missing a hand.

I like that no one bothered to pick up his hand so they could re-attach it. Dicks all the way down.

Damien Dharke please spend the rest of the season force choking people on other continents. This is a good and useful power to have.

In my head canon the rest of the season happens because Oliver snubbed Dharke for their meeting. He was obviously pissed enough to tell his wife.

"William I'm sorry your mom is probably dead because your dad, her baby daddy, couldn't make a scheduled meeting."

Can we somehow have Felicity be in that grave instead of her mom? It'd make me like the show almost as much as I did before.

Only if her hot mom turns out to be a pro hacker too and joins the team.

Alternatively I hope the thing in the grave is the terrible flashbacks. They haven't been any good since season 2.

I can't help but be offended that Felicity's disability might be undone with a simple computer chip (and a self-sustaining power source) embedded in her spine. I think the few episodes of Felicity getting used to the wheelchair and regaining her strength, self-confidence, and pride, all while continuing to be smart, capable, and sexy have been such a powerful story arc for her. It has been one of the highlights of Season 4, in fact. At least the writers haven't committed the common error of referring to her as "wheelchair-bound," which is wholly inaccurate, considering wheelchairs empower people with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities to be more independent than they would be without them.

This is close to my heart because I'm married to a brilliant and beautiful woman with a disability (who actually teaches a college course on Media and Disability), and this storyline even got her to start watching Arrow with me. She loved the conversation between Felicity and her former goth self, as she abandoned the pain meds and embraced her new identity, turning her limitations into newfound strength and resolve. I know the writers intended the Curtis Holt character to have the best intentions, but the idea that Felicity has to literally "walk" down the aisle to marry the love of her life is disappointing at best and offensive at worst.

After DC Comics undid Barbara Gordon's disability (after almost 20 years of Oracle being an amazing and unique character), I was really hoping the Arrow writers were attempting to rectify that with Felicity. There aren't enough people with disabilities on TV, especially ones treated as strong, smart, sexy characters.

lol

Lazy writing, yea sure. Offended? lmao

I also thought Vixen was bad. Almost every single one of her lines was capital-b Backstory, delivered mostly in what sounded like a bored monotone. It was serious "as you know, Bob" level stuff.

I have never taken Dark seriously as a villain. His continued obliviousness that Oliver is Green Arrow kinda underscores this. The fact that Malcolm, noted enemy of the Green Arrow, would come to you with a way to get revenge on Oliver Queen isn't even a clue?

I was all for Oliver and Felicity being a couple until they decided to make Felicity's only purpose to find ways to destroy the relationship, they took away everything that made her great. She was supposed to be a foil for Ollie and Dig, someone who advocates for normal people and can tell them both to gently caress off. Now it's some weird spineless Felicity.

They're filming a funeral scene this weekend, and it looks like it gives away who dies.

And the internet is freaking out about it.

Katie Cassidy has only been on set with brown hair, with Blackthorne in a wig, so it's a flashback. She's apparently not there in the present day funeral scenes, but Laurel and Sara's mother is. Nyssa too.

Obviously there could be more to it than that, but if they are actually tossing 3 years of making her character into Black Canary because of Tumblr shipping, I might just laugh forever.


oh my god this would be amazing.
