Thinking about the last episode makes me even more disappointed. It's like they listened to their fanbase, but chose to give them the middle finger instead. Has any show trolled its fans more than this one? Aside from pro wrestling.

I really liked how this episode went down. Maybe this is the start of Ollie being Ollie as opposed to Ersatz Batman.  I lol'd at the Alderman or whatever. "I know you just talked down a high profile mass murderer at risk of your own life but looks like you owe me some political capital  " I know this is comic book rules, but if someone did that in real life, they would be mayor for as long as they so chose.

Somewhat Heroic posted:The district attorney still turns out to be totally Nah, he's totally Vigilante. He was basically getting ready to go out Vigilane-ing when Ollie caught him and made him stay put. It was very much a "yeah okay I'll stay here where it's safe, you go get him I am going to gently caress these guys up as soon as my wife leaves the hospital ."

and while I thing the writers formed an elaborate rouse to get me to think he was Vigilante then Prometheus and now Vigilante again and Prometheus turns out to be a woman and not a man.

Mr Beens posted:Good fight scenes overall other than the Curtis bit at the end - he sort of just sauntered up to Cupid, flapped at her then fell on the floor and got kicked in a really unconvincing way. When the gently caress is Curtis going to stop being terrible at fighting? He's a multi-PhD olympic medalist who learned an entire language on a plane ride. He should be able to pick up Murderjitsu in like a couple of days. Mr. Terrific is an awesome character, they need to stop making him a weenie.

Sir Potato posted:Also, maybe I'm missing something, but if Chase is Prometheus and we assume he wants to bring Ollie down and ruin his life, how does Ollie staying mayor help Chase? I feel like he could have successfully blackmailed that councilor and impeach Ollie. Then again, I suppose most of our info about Prometheus's motives come from Team Arrow and we don't really know what Prometheus wants exactly. That being said, Chase being Prometheus is a huge wrench in the show and it's pretty interesting that they could pull this off without many, if any, of us seeing it coming. Eager to see who Vigilante is then. Three options: 1) Chase is ingratiating himself to Queen to blindside him at the last moment 2) He's playing some sort of psycho long game we're not expecting, like taking Oliver back to his roots or something to be a more effective "hero" 3) He is bugfuck crazy and doing just whatever I sure as gently caress didn't expect to be asking who Vigilante was instead of Prometheus, though.  That swerve was incredibly well done and also helped explain why he hasn't been a constant presence this season. He has been, just out of costume.

Aphrodite posted:Also Chase suggested the cover-up. So he's been playing this game the whole time. Chase isn't some incredible chess player who's already planned all his moves out, he's just been hanging around Ollie and seeing what he does next, then planning accordingly. I like to think the impeachment result is the one that finally broke his brain. Every time, Oliver keeps coming up with poo poo he doesn't expect him to do that ruins the plan, and it's slowly driving him mad.

Tiggum posted:It would have been so easy to just have him taunting them, but having him actually just carry on doing his job because he knows they can't do anything was fantastic. "I'm gonna kill you. In ways you haven't even thought about." or whatever it was is the exact moment Curtis became the best character of the season for me. Seriously, his development arc has been the best, he started as a completely bland Casey Jones ripoff getting clowned by Oliver, and now he not only has depth and pathos but is a legit swaggering bad-rear end. Plus, whoever decided to pair him with Captain Lance the Elder made a fantastic call. I mean, I haven't seen character development like that since Laure—

thebardyspoon posted:This season has been really great, a real return to form after the last two seasons shat the bed about halfway through (can't remember 4 enough to say if it was bad before that really) but this episode gave me flashes of that sort of downturn near the end. I think it's Talia being around in the present, this show has historically gotten real dumb when the League of Assassins came to the fore. Hope they can stick the landing and keep it up next season, if they keep the team dynamic and keep developing Dinah (feels like she's not done much yet) then it'll be cool. That's one of the problems this season. The supporting cast is actually so good that they don't have the time to focus on any one of them for long. Rene loving owns and Curtis finally got his T-Spheres. I am dying for an all Dinah episode beyond her origin because she is a delightful scenery chewing hard-rear end.

I get feeling "I WANTED IT TO! AND I LIKED IT!" is going to turn into this thread's "THAT'S NOT HER NAME" I'm okay with that, at least for a little while. Because that was a drat good episode and a literal payoff for the entire series run.

The best part about this is going to be next episode where Dinah comes in and gets Ollie back in the game by yelling at him to harden the gently caress up. Basically what I'm saying is Dinah is just the best.

X-O posted:Once again, Chase is the best villain this show has ever had and holy poo poo is Josh Segarra killing it. No pun intended. I'm gonna be so happy when Oliver guts him with that knife but so sad to see him go. I think Oliver's gonna put him in a cell instead of the ground personally, but I think I'm okay with murder by glorified linoleum knife. Whatever happens, Ollie and the team basically just stripped his public facing resources. He's just a criminal now, albeit an extremely dangerous one. If the marshals were the tip of the iceberg, I cannot wait to see what happens now that he's coming unglued.  e: or evelyn's gonna be the one that snaps and kills him idk. They could go literally anywhere with this, and I'm pretty excited. Chokes McGee fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Mar 30, 2017 |

OB_Juan posted:Outing Chase also gives Mayor Ollie room to discount everything he's said recently about the Green Arrow - obviously he's a cool guy and DA Chase, known psychopath, was strong-arming the mayor into saying all of that. And every person Chase kills from here on out cements that story. As part of The New Admitted to Serial Killing Oliver, I'm pretty sure the Green Arrow will release a statement exonerating himself along those lines but owning up to killing Billy. Hell, it has the advantage of making the original coroner's report right, which means a lot of those councilmen are suddenly going to face stiff challenges in their districts
