You have failed this thread...
For starters you should know exactly what to expect when you watch a show on The CW.
Maybe its been asked and answered or maybe its just me going deaf but what the hell is Laurel saying near the end when the ganster on the ground near the car asks her ''who are you''...? I rewinded a few times and still dont get the first part...something about her Hairdresser...? lol...
something like "I'm the justice you can't run from"
While the show does get better at the halfway point of season 1 the acting itself doesn't improve.
What were they?Just saw spoilers for the next 3 or so episodes
The acting has always been lacking in Arrow. Unfortunately Stephen Amell isn't very good at it, but the writing is good enough to keep you entertained if you stick with it.
"I'm the justice you can't run from"
Shit was so full of ham, it almost made up for lack of junk in the trunk.
Of course. You don't know what Ra's does in his free time.
I called that
the moment he came into play
it was either
A: League of B: Slade's first son who dies but that is more of a Titan's thing
I'm glad that's happening. It was a pretty silly plot line if they played it straight.

I love Pokken!
These are the summaries for the next 3 episodes. Really excited for episode 12.

Uprising
Still operating without Oliver and desperate to stop Brick, Team Arrow is forced to consider Malcolms offer to help shut Brick down as Malcolm has a personal score to settle with the felon. Roy and Laurel point out that the team could use some help to save the innocents of The Glades, but Felicity is adamantly against it. They look to Diggle to make the final decision. Meanwhile, the flashbacks chronicle Malcolms descent from kind-hearted father and husband to cold-blooded killer after the murder of his wife

Canaries
Oliver is thrown by the changes within Team Arrow. Hes used to calling the shots but sees that the team has evolved in his absence and tensions quickly escalate in the lair. Oliver is furious that Laurel has been going out as the Black Canary and tells her to stop risking her life, but when Vertigo hits the streets again, Laurel goes against Olivers wishes and tracks down Vertigo who hits her with a full dose of the drug. Laurels biggest fears revolve around her sister Sara so the Vertigo causes her to hallucinate an epic fight between Canary and Black Canary. Meanwhile, Chase surprises Thea, and Roy warns Thea to stay away from Malcolm.

Probably but I was kinda expecting to see the team operating on their own and coming to terms with the new situation, having the Dark Archer as a team member takes the edge of any realistic treat.

I hope these episodes turn the Laurel Canary into a breakout character.A breakout character the CW can build a spin off show around. A spinoff that launches in the fall. Laurel deserves to her own superhero on her own program. Far, far away from Arrow.

And put Titans in this universe so Roy can go there.
Another episode preview if it hasn't been posted. Via Facebook:

Considering the flashbacks, it seems likely.

Honestly I'd be okay with this. Not because I hate Laurel but because I think this show has become over saturated with characters. I kind of miss the simplicity of the initial episodes where it is just Oliver and Diggle. Now pretty much everyone important in Oliver's life knows he is the Arrow and it is kind of ridiculous. Plus after the super human Mirakuru baddies it just feels like none of the threats are credible enough to warrant multiple costumed vigilantes.
Then again, I'm also the kind of comic reader who hates pretty much every Batman story where he has the bat family involved.

My guess is that
Diggle will ultimately refuse Merlyn's help, and the team will try to take on Brick on their own. They'll fail until Merlyn shows up anyway.

Looking forward to the inevitable Laurel/Helena/Felicity Birds of Prey episode.

I feel like Amell doesn't get enough credit. Dude's definitely got the range; compare Island Ollie to Modern Ollie. They're practically different people. It's just that Modern Ollie is a stoic, kinda stiff dude.
yeah i am also of the belief that Amell is being a little understated
With weekly crossover episodes!
I got it! Brick

Vision of Arrow without Laurel is enticing, but she's not strong enough character to have her own show and most of all there are so many much more exciting DC characters that deserv their own show a lot more. Especially since even if Laurel show would somehow work, it would still be Arrow, version B
Really liking the descriptions for the next several episodes. My issue with Laurel has always been when they've kept her in a holding pattern. It allowed the worst aspects of the character to come out. When she's actively doing something or pushing toward something I've liked her more. Her low point was really the "woe is me" part of the story where she blamed everyone for her problems, drinking, etc. Did the character story wise justify that kind of break down? Possibly. How it was handled was the problem. Once they started pushing past that though she was better. I don't fault the actress either. I think Katie Cassidy is actually decent from other things I've seen her in so it's really the writing for her on the show that has been an issue.
I also think creating and bringing in Sara was part of the problem. Perhaps the biggest problem. Like others I like the character but at the same time they introduced a character that took up valuable screen time and writing ability from one that already existed. Did Laurel need to become Black Canary sooner? No but considerably more time could have been spent on the character and giving her a better story. It's no surprise that now that Sara is gone and not even a recurring character that Laurel simply comes off better, even in the short amount of screen time she's gotten this season. She's a focus now. Even with her not telling her father about Sara. That's annoying but I don't have a problem with her like I did last season.

I really hope those aren't the final sound effects.
Otherwise
Go Laurel Go, using your own heel to bring down a thug? 11/10

Maybe. But she was cooler character than Laurel. Did it create some problems? Sure. But I still wish they would fix it by killing Laurel and leaving Sara alive. I think the show would end up better for it.

No Laurel means that Sara gets saddled with Laurels brand of drama. You don't avoid it by killing the character. The show and network means it's getting that stuff no matter what.

But there's no Laurel drama this season.
oh..well..what's done is done. I just hope they make it work somehow. It will be a hard thing to pull off.
I mean..on one hand you need to have her be competent enough to cheer for eventually, but at the same time, her presence in the show needs to be scaled down heavily to the level of Roy's. There's already so many people on the team they risk squeezing Oliver out of the undpisputed lead role.
