Arrow

[Ruby2579]

So today's episode was a little slowish compared to the other ones. Im glad we finally got to meet the infamous roy harper. and watching the new trio work together I really enjoy it. Felicity really had some guts going up to the culprit like HEY GIVE THAT BACK but that ended her up with the whole dog collar bomb scenario. I thought that would scare her off in not wanting to work with them again.

On the other side of town Olivers mom is working on finding Walter and getting rid of Malcolm. Good to see China White again and interested in how that plays next episode.

Roy harper's sob story i totally did not fall for it. i was like he knows about Thea and it actually won him not getting into Jail. Looks like there might be something cooking up between those two and im intrigued in seeing how he will eventually cross paths with Arrow.

I was turned to the channel but wasn't fully 'invested' which I know is odd. Will grab it later and watch it entirely but I got the gist of stuff. Was nice to see 2 BSG alumni together again.

Glad to see Roy Harper finally show up (although I would like the actor back on Teen Wolf) but yes, wanting to know how he crosses paths with the Hood. He seems to have some agility so it's a start. Also lol @ the dates. Didn't get to see them in their entirety though.

China White is finally back. Going after Malcolm is probably more than one will bargain for though since he's the Dark Archer. Someone is going to find that out the hard way. We know he can handle a bow and does fencing so we may get to see how he handles himself in a hand-to-hand fight if China White gets close enough. Might catch her off guard.

"Deadshot" was also in the preview for next episode. And io9 recap touches on Felicity in the past episode:

"To the auction! And to the inevitable downfall of Felicity Smoak. No, she doesn't die, but she dies in my affection. Felicity, Ollie, and Digg are at the auction, and make a plan to catch Dodger. Felicity puts a tracker on the gem, and when Dodger picks it up, she tracks him on her phone. At this point, she has more information on this criminal than literally anyone else in the world. She has, in her hands, a device that can summon help. She is utterly unknown to her prey. What does she do? She walks up to him, and lets him know that she knows he's the thief. One guess who ends up in a collar. Yes, she ends up finding the guys. Yes, she guides them to Dodger. Yes, there's a thrilling motorcycle chase followed by Ollie putting an arrow in some special nerve on Dodger's hand so he can't blow her up. Dodger's caught, and Felicity is safe, but I don't care. If you live by the stupid, you should die by the stupid. That was one stupid too far."

Hey cut her some slack it was her first "mission" she will get the hang of it hahahah but it was a dumb and stubborn move on her part

Well, a lot of developments this episode.

Tommy sees his dad in action. I really wanted to see Malcolm don his own hood and kick some ass, possibly alongside Oliver. I'm actually wondering how that plays out for him. The Hood came to his rescue so...would it have been a pass for now or what? Not only that, Oliver revealed himself to Tommy, just so he could save Malcolm's life. Also hate how Moira robbed us of Malcolm possibly telling Tommy where he went for the 2 years. Kind of a touching scene that Tommy was so hurt that Oliver was never going to tell him about being the Hood.

Malcolm doesn't know it was Moira who put the hit out on him though. I guess he does see her as that close of a friend but this is going to get ugly, especially if she tries to push it on someone else within the group just to get the whole search over with.

Laurel's mom is back and it's none other than Doctor Who's River Song. She's back talking about Sara maybe being alive. Wonder how that happens...

Huntress is back in the next episode too. Wondering now if Tommy is going to get training too from his dad. Still interested in seeing how this is all going to play out. Dark Archer has it out for the Hood, who just saved him and his son knows it's Oliver, who Malcolm loves too. So if Malcolm finds out, what the hell is going to happen?

SO i totally called Laurel's mom coming back at the end and the development of Sara possibly being alive? I did not see that coming. 
It was Touching that Tommy was hurt that Oliver was never going to tell him about him being the hood but can he really blame him? Olver came back a completely different person from the island and alot that happened to him. I wouldnt had walked away because my friend wouldve never told me who he really was. I would have been hurt but im also glad oliver was honest with him. He has his reasons for not wanting to tell none of the people he cares about about the hood. 

Did you peep Felicity training hahaha i was like hey nice tights lol. I liked the fact they threw in that little canary comment when Laurel was looking at her sister's picture. 

Huntress looks lke shes going to be upto no good in the next episode and she has tommy, wonder why

Quote of the night.

Dig: "I know you would kill her if she looked like me rather then the T-Mobile girl.

Referring to Helena

[kat]

The chemistry between Oliver and Helena is like dynamite, in both the best and the worst way possible.
I guess ill probably always have a soft spot for Laurel because his memory of her kept him alive on that island.
Felicity is fun and the only girl on the list he can truly trust with all of himself and his secret.

I truly can't decide who Oliver/Arrow would be best with. It's like each of these girls only fulfill one or two pieces of his personality....Laurel is his pure love and need for justice, Helena is his hate ans his passion, Felicity is his playfulness and friendship, etc. We know that cop is out for a while now anyway.

Anyway, fantastic episode...great action and dram as usual.

Had a good laugh at that line.

Helena is so far gone/hellbent on killing her dad it's scary. Threatening Oliver's family and friends? He should have killed her on the spot after that threat. Was kind of bothered by how pissed Tommy still was about Oliver not telling him. Glad to see that by the end, he came to an understanding.

yes I was pissed too with Tommy. I kind of understood in the beginning but come on dude. Oliver was not the same person when he came back. Alot had happened to him and you're here judging the hood -_- I felt bad for Oliver this episode how hes like I ihave to sacrifice my own happiness to keep people safe etc. 

When Helena was in the interrogation room and mentioned oliver i was like NO SHE DIDNT but then she just sounded like a crazy ex girlfriend lol 

I liked the cop girl with Oliver but they sent her away lol i was like crap another break up for him. 

So do you guys think its possible that Sarah is still alive? also when  Felicity walked in on dig Oli and Helena i was like crap Helena saw her. SHES SO SCREWED. and when she showed up in her office I was like great shes going to take her but then i realized there was still 20 minutes left to the episode so i was like oh great hahaha more time . They should definitely keep felicity in training practices =)

On to the next with Speedy and Red hood lol i forgot his name its roy right? ANyway his moves when he saved her I was like um woah dude youre fast! I see why they would name you speedy. I like their chemistry. Looks like he is going to be in the middle of it all next week. 

[kat]

Yeah, I'm still not sure that Sarah is still alive. it seems like they would save that story for later on?

[kat]

Well I watched True Blood in the past (had a blog for it even) and all I could see was the cop girl's True Blood character so I never saw her as the cop girl...it was hard to suspend my disbelief with her plus I've never thought much of her acting skills though they're decent.


I agree about the Felicity training classes and Speedy though

Quote of the Night

Felicity: Oliver no offense but do I tell you how to sharpen your arrows?"
Her responding when OLiver was questioning her on her tracking/hacking skills lol

[Slash]

Finally caught up on this. Wondering how Roy is going to fall in with Oliver now after the run in. He kept the arrow that was shot at him and was looking at it so maybe he's going to decide that that's the direction he's going to go with his life if he's going to turn it around.

I want to punch Moira She set up the other guy who was working with her to kill Malcolm. He took the entire fall because his shell company was the one that wired the money (which he told her). Malcolm took care of the kill personally as the Dark Archer and even wanted to kill the guy's daughter but Moira just begged for the girl's life. Please.

Really wish we'd get another island/flashback long episode. Xiao's daughter knows what Fryers is up to and I'm wanting to know what it is. I like now that Oliver & Slade have the daughter on their side (she's still shifty to me) and possibly Xiao if they didn't leave him behind or can get him back (thought Slade was going to stick with him when Oliver and his daughter ran).

yes I wish we had more episodes with just the flashbacks. I hope Xiao survived. and im still curious to know how Oliver has the same tattoo as his daughter. 

I couldnt believe Moira actually threw him under the bus. I loved how they literally showed his blood on her hands. I also think w.e Fryers was upto on the island has a connection to w.e might be going on in the glades. 

the loved the friendship building up with felicity and oliver. =) 
I knew Sara was not going to be alive. and I thought maybe the mom would stay. 

roy seems too curious about the arrow. maybe he starts doing his own thing and Oliver tracks him down and confronts him. or maybe he starts doing research to find out who I
is the hood and tells him he wants to work with him.I kn
