Revelry in the Dark

Arrow is great again. Oliver is dropping bodies, Felicity isn't whining as much (there was a follow up on her nuking a place!), the new team seems to have decent chops, and I'm excited to watch again. what a world, but then again this is what I said about Season 4...

Team Arrow is performing a prison break, this will be fun

the main villain for this season is probably Prometheus, but I expect to see Church all season. he's been really good, as has the new team dynamic. hope springs eternal

The reporter lady giving Oliver her number was an underratedly funny moment

Oliver also applying blackmail was a cool thing too

That actually wasn't Oliver either time. It was Chance.

I commented before I saw the reveal :downs:

It's definitely a point of intrigue that the reporter was able to find a photo from Oliver's Bratva days. Arrow is raising the bar??

Not gonna lie, "The Climb" was a really good episode too. Ra's completely dominating Oliver and kicking his rear end off the mountain was amazing especially leading into the midseason break. a shame the rest of season 3 was mediocre

Evelyn being the mole makes sense, she's the one most at odds with Oliver, but I do wonder what her motivation is

jeez, it's kind of crazy seeing Robert and Moira after such a long time. also liked that the title card was all the arrowheads from the first five seasons

the whole simulation was a bunch of dickpunches to Oliver and Thea, i actually felt really sad at the end when Oliver saw everyone

Oliver landing a helicopter at the U.S. Open to impress Maria Sharapova is pretty funny, and an underrated moment

I think Laurel showing up out of nowhere is the other ramification of Flashpoint, which would be pretty cool seeing as the way she died was completely loving stupid

but really, I hope someone calls out Felicity for just uprooting Thea out of her apartment. that was just rude

the interaction between Thea and Rene was pretty funny I'll admit

this was a good episode, again, but there was a weird Very Special Episode quality due to that random shooting and the fallout

I think this season is shaping up to where Oliver has to reveal himself as the Green Arrow, it's been made explicitly clear throughout the season that Oliver can't balance being the Arrow and the mayor, so something will happen where he takes the third option and makes it known that he's the Green Arrow

Prometheus is actually the CEO's son who stole Chase's identity. The real Chase is Vigilante.

I'm betting this is what it is. It's what they did on Flash, only it'll work because it's not pants on head stupid

I've caught up after getting trapped in a vortex of schoolwork, and man, last week's episode was metal as gently caress. Show has been at its peak this year

e: A political leader caught up in a backroom deal with shady Russians? a work of fiction, I say

I mean, the whole thing with the apartment is funny because Oliver and Felicity move there when they're called back to deal with HIVE, but you know its still Thea's. At some point, the ownership changes hands and its Felicity's for no apparent reason.

I've always seen it as a plot hole that no one bothered to address but its still odd nonetheless

remember the one, secret apartment that Oliver went to in Season 2 (or was it 1?) when he bugged out and needed to be away from the team? it's that one, probably
