Some point Quentin *must* put the pieces together!<br /><br />I never felt like Oliver and Felicity had any romantic chemistry and Oliver's comments seemed like an excuse.<br /><br />Quite interested in a potential new Dig arc and I was glad Oliver was able to actually help him with Deadshot this time.

I don't know anything about the comic book stuff, so it doesn't matter to me who the Black Canary is. And I am also reminded of the Clock tower in Smallville--I much preferred Ollie's lair there to his digs in this show. They reminded me of the Musee D'Orsay in Paris.<br />magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-21076839963476072422016-08-27T14:40:54.559-04:002016-08-27T14:40:54.559-04:00I loved how the drugs Dig got caught with were blu...I loved how the drugs Dig got caught with were blue and crystal-like, as if they got it straight from Walter White :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532411236102431376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12810493241656378992015-05-08T22:00:00.127-04:002015-05-08T22:00:00.127-04:00Good episode for Diggle.

Speaking of Deadshot, he was cooler this time than last season. I hope he returns.<br /><br />I’m not feeling Felicity so much as of lately. Some of her lines that are supposed to be cute and funny come off as faux quirkiness. I thought the Isobel/Oliver thing was unnecessary, and I especially disliked how Isobel presumed Felicity was sleeping with Oliver. And Isobel wants to save Queen Consolidate? I had the impression, from the season premiere, that she just wanted to crash the company even more.<br /><br />FYI: the new prove-you-are-not-a-robot verification is very odd, though somewhat funny. Pizzas?

I too am a little disappointed in the casting for the character, but I believe the reasoning was that the character is early on in her career. <br /><br />Either way, I totally agree with your comment about the whole skinny/young thing is far too common. Comics/Genre Television should start incorporating different body types in more things. Samantha M.

Pounder. Of course the blame should really go to the New 52 comics since this show is following their lead, but it bothers me that women in comics (with the exception of parental figures) are all young, thin, and beautiful (and usually scantily-clad). Amanda Waller used to be an exception to that. Also C.C.H. Pounder is amazing.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-86618181089347439052014-01-04T07:05:05.878-05:002014-01-04T07:05:05.878-05:00Until the Oliver/Isobel hookup I was thinking, may...Until the Oliver/Isobel hookup I was thinking, maybe she's his half sister.

This episode gave me a geek seizure! It ...Gaaaaaah! This episode gave me a geek seizure! It was chock full of so much stuff!<br /><br />First up. Isobel's name was shown on the list in the first season, so this whole seemingly "tacked on" tryst could either be Ollie or her trying to feel each other out (no pun intended). But man, seeing Felicity sad was like watching Ollie kick an adorable puppy multiple times. <br /><br />Anatoli has the same name as the Batman villain KGBeast! Moira's lawyer has the same name as The Atom's wife! Miraclo, the substance Ivo is looking for, is the stuff Hourman uses to activate his powers, and they just announced an Hourman show! Diggle's ex-wife has the same name as Harbinger, a DC superheroine that's more in the Green Lantern vein of characters in that she's affiliated with space and whatnot. Plus, her code name or the name of the mission in this episode was Harbinger. The Flash is getting closer. I can smell it in the air.<br /><br />I could see a possibility of H.I.V.E. recruiting Slade and maybe providing him with some sorta Miraclo-based substance that gives him his enhanced abilities from the comics. I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff Blood is injecting into dudes is Miraclo.<br /><br />Now onto Amanda Waller. I had to suffer through two seasons of Cynthia Addai-Robinson in Spartacus which was a very unpleasant experience. I consider her one of the only bad things about that show. But as she only got like 2 minutes of screen time in Arrow, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, she really is the spitting image of New 52 Amanda Waller. It's quite uncanny.<br /><br />I was kinda disappointed Deadshot didn't ricochet shot everything in sight but at least they gave him an opportunity to do something beside shoot things, heh.<br /><br />I swear you gotta keep Google open while you watch this show and just type in every name that is mentioned or else you could miss something.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.com
