He was dead for over 4 days.

There could be some TV time compression going on. We won't know until they specifically state as such in a line of dialogue though.
Wow. Roy was in putting in work. He's improved significantly. Diggle still needs a mask but damn that head shot! Looking forward to were Palmer goes now. Felicity is in a bad place and I'm worried.
Solid episode but I'm not sure about the ending. I kinda wish that had been dragged out a bit more over more episodes but curious as to how it's explained. It brought up a number of questions. He was dead. He was there for several days on that cliff unclothed. His body had rigamortis from the one shot of his arm. If there are no pits then they better have damn good explanation for this.
Laurel as Black Canary. I have to say it was a solid debut and I was even good with her prior to that. Watch now as she gets very solid writing going forward.

I'm going to be honest. I didn't understand the whole Brick plot of the episode at all.
Felicity continues to make me hate her.
On the bright side, Diggle with the feels and Laurel-Canary made up for it so.
What's the deal with the Glades? Is it like the only area of Starling City?
Take over the Glades? Why take over the part of the city that was destroyed 2 years ago.
Wasn't Oliver dead? If he wasn't he would have had no food or water for 4 days and out in the freezing cold. How is it he's alive? The fuck.

So Brick is a mirakuru soldier, I guess?
Can't wait to see Slade again.

He hasn't. Tatsu picked him up during the evening after he fell off. So Ollie was dead for at most 20 hours before he got Ollie to his wife. Going over even 1 hour is way too long but I'll roll with it.
The show was deliberately messing up with our sense of time once you take into account how the Merlyn scenes played out chronologically.

CW more Diggle action please.
Or maybe he's made of bricks?

It was never said he laid there 4 days.
If that guy is part of the league he would of shown up shortly after and the laz pit or equivalent probably exist in the universe of arrow, what's the shit that they stole in HK? I missed bits and pieces but maybe that can bring people back if he died. I mean, Malcolm was as good as dead and hes strolling around. Slade was as good as dead but became a super human.
That and it's a comic book show that shares a universe with people who run faster then the speed of light, can shoot fire from their body and people are ok with that but not someone dying and coming back to life?
She totally knows, she's just in denial.
It's one thing to know it and another to try and ignore it. She's probably had a hunch since season 1/2, given that he was almost arrested AND it was obvious enough that their mother realized. Besides Oliver and Roy went to pick her up from that last city, that had to have triggered something.
Yeah, except the mountain was exceptionally high. I bet finding him would've taken him at least 2 or 3 days. I wouldn't be surprised if Oliver had laid there for 4 days

Ok but again we don't know if its the laz pit or some secret sauce.
But it's a show that shares The Flash universe.. Is it really hard to suspend a little disbelief when The Flash has been on Arrow?
That was fantastic.
He doesn't seem that crazy for a Mirakuru infected person, but they might just keep the origins vague like in the comics. Then again, Slade was capable of making intelligent plans despite being nuts so maybe Brick could do the same.
The HK poisons were referred to as Alpha and Omega, a reference to Darkseid. Usually his Omega beams kill but they can bring back to life so it's probably related knowing how the show likes to connect each timeline. Of course Darkseid himself won't actually be showing up, it's just an easter egg name.
- Of course Katana is alive, she's has the potential to be a big player in this season and beyond.
- They didn't bother keeping Oliver's revival a mystery. Which is fine.
- Laurel's permanent scowl looks like a joke in the courtroom but works well in a superhero outfit.
- ROY THE GOAT. Using his acrobatics effectively now!
- Why do we have no Diggle as Arrow 2.0 gif yet?
- Generally lots of solid action throughout the episode.
- I don't think we have a timeline on how long Oliver was left for dead, we'll have to wait and see.
- Maseo too nice to let Oliver die. Of course he won't make it out of the season alive as a result.
- The soundtrack was super on-point.

Yeah, you're totally right about that. I actually misread your post so I wasn't quite sure what you were getting at when I made my post. But you're right, I don't think people should be complaining about a dead person coming back considering Slade was practically Captain America with healing powers, Flash can run across water and buildings, and the fact that it's based on a DC comic

He clearly said, "To Blave," which as we all know means To Bluff!
If they avoid the resurrection route, they'll say something about Ollie's body being tough enough to take the fall and the cold slowing his blood loss. Silly stuff.
I don't think Ray's going to actually be a big figure after he becomes a hero. Something will require his leaving the city for large periods of time so he'll only be a guest on the show after that. They're probably angling to spin him off tbh.
Yeah, that last set piece was pretty sweet.

Just caught up.
Really enjoyed the episode. Nice to see the flashbacks start to actually tie in heavily to present day.
I know she gets a lot of hate, but I'm really excited to see Laurel as the Canary. She looked so cool in the brief moment we got. I already like her suit more than Sara's.
And I enjoyed Ray's scenes. Hoping the writers do it right with him the rest of the way & CW decides to try out the spin off they discussed recently. He's a fun guy & could be a cool hero.

"I could've killed you!"
"It's cute you think so."
That legit cracked me up :lol
Thought that was a great episode. Loved the Roy/Diggle action, Vinnie Jones makes for a cool thug villain, and I am ready for Laurel's Canary. Thought it was amusing that she basically gave no fucks about Oliver's death. Roy drinking alone, Diggle had a moment, and Felicity turned into a colossal fuck-up all episode long, but Laurel? She immediately went to work.
Fucking Felicity, though. The writers need to put her on the sidelines for a while because she was absolutely unbearable tonight.

Yeah, I know the season seems to be less light hearted but she keeps crying. So much. Preferred her being quirky, and when she was pining for Oliver funny enough she seemed more self-reliant (wrong word?) I don't know, she seemed like a stronger character before S3.
Olicity killed her. Flashlicity will bring her back!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Felicity was fine tonight. I'm starting to think it's on you guys at this point.

Yah felicity is couple episodes away from falling out of favor. Couple posts up is right. She is always crying now. Seems like every scene with Ray at least

it's dragged her down big time. i hope they end it when oliver returns. just keep it platonic please. her chemistry with oliver is absolute shit too. her and ray palmer were better (before this episode) and miles better with barry allen too.
i have a feeling this season is finally the one where everybody loves laurel. but once that catches on with the writers they better not fuck her up (again) too.
the season's best action was in this episode I think. loved the shot of roy in the pipe and diggle doing that boss slide move. vinny jones did not disappoint either. hope he becomes a recurring villain.

dammit it was Diggle's time to shine as the Arrow.
I wouldn't mind if Roy took over the Green costume ala Dick Grayson taking Batman when he died.
that ending. didn't see that coming. nice to see flashback being tied together

I loved that scene. We can always use more Meryln.
Go Diggle! He can definitely carry an episode. Roy was good too, just needed more flips.
Felicity :-/ I'm torn over her. On one hand she's right about talking Ray out of it as she's been there done that with Ollie. Just wait till he comes back she'll be happy and then go jumping into Rays A.T.O.M hands.
Laurel!! I bow down to you. Can't wait to see more of her. Make that dimple proud girl!

It's really funny how the show improved when Oliver wasn't on screen.

The fact that Felicity has been a love interest to all three characters with confirmed DC/CW series in the Arrow/Flashverse has not escaped my attention. She's gonna have to sleep with Vixen before Vixen can get a full TV series.
He finds it uncomfortable, and I think he has trouble with the field of vision.

If Lauren and Felicity switch places in terms of fandom hating/loving, I'm going to cry with laughter

Great episode. I'm so glad The CW shows are back this week.
It goes up on Hulu the day after.
