I had no idea that Anatoly actor was the same who played Dr Zelenka on Stargate Atlantis. The beard threw me.

That's for the best, flashbacks are stupid
And I've figured it out.

Just waiting for flashbacks to be over, so we can have Supermax season 6, set primarly on island, where most all the argus prisoners escaped right when Olie was visiting

Thank the gods, those were awful plotlines. Merlyn putting Thea in such danger still doesn't make a lick of sense and Zoom just sucked after a while.

What? Merlyn's actions made perfect sense. The only thing he loves more than his daughter is himself. By having Thea kill Sara he made Thea the target of the League, thus ensuring Oliver's cooperation, while also taking the heat away from himself.

I actually want them to get rid of the flashbacks altogether. They've become distracting and unbelievable convenient IMO
Jorok Goldblade

Yup. His dedication to Thea was more about his legacy than about her. He wouldn't care about her at all if Tommy were still around.

Jesus Christ did he shit on Tommy from a great height for no reason in S1 tho

I refuse to think he'd be dumb enough to put Thea in so much danger, we saw him go to great lengths to protect her in his distorted way. Ollie is manipulated a lot easier than that convoluted plan.

Tommy was having none of Malcolm's bullshit. Thea seemed like someone he could mold into Dark Archer 2.0.

FELICITY JUST LET A NUKE HIT A TOWN
I take back what I said, S4 is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS

Hey man
S4 isn't that bad :^)
S4 isn't that bad :^)
I literally just finished Arrow S4 like 2 weeks ago. Whose Alex?
Also just started watching Flash for the first time since apparently S2 does the Flashpoint Paradox and that affects the whole arrowverse? Its a good thing I'm really loving the Flash so far, just about to see my first glimpse of reverse flash.
So when are we getting Supergirl in all this crazy shit? The show was average af but the casting for Supergirl is fantastic. I hope S2 really kicks it up in terms of righting because that actress deserves to wear the cape. She's so charismatic, it'd be hilarious to see her and Oliver duke it out over how to be a hero while Oliver has a crisis over arguing with, for all intents and purposes, an actual fucking god lol.
And is Legends of Tomorrow worth continuing? I'm on ep 4 or 5 and am just not feeling it. Maybe its the fact that the space ship is so ugly, dull and boring yet is the main setpiece. Maybe I just don't like any of the characters except Sarah and Capt. Cold. I don't really know.
EDIT: Just checked out the OT. Now I could have sworn Felicity was the only one to stay with Ollie. So flashpoint changes a lot I see.

And now I will watch S5 immediately rather than wait for the midseason break to binge.
Was hoping for zero flashbacks but I'll take what I can get.
EDIT: Oh shit I forgot about flash. I'll finish that first.

Its definitely Tommy
The anger. Its personal, y'all.

Yeah Merlyn really likes Thea, but he still considers himself numero uno.
That's still a plot line in S5, they're not sweeping a nuke under the rug.
It's fucking terrible. Like, genuinely embarrassing.
Season 5 is atleast a significant bump up.
rektIts definitely Tommy

I'll be beyond disappointed if he isn't him.

They going spend time on it in season 5 , Ragman will most likely play a big part .
Also i am happy they let a nuke hit the town , shows the heroes can't save everyone all the time.
He did not give a fuck about tommy so even if he was still around it would not matter .
In fact i say he care more about oliver then him lol.
Tommy was to soft for Merlyn to care about him.

I love Pokken!

Revenge of the Beta
Yeah I enjoyed the first two episodes so far this season. Liking the new direction. Hope it doesn't fall apart again by the end.
Kind of like the idea of a new, bigger Team Arrow but there are plenty of ways for them to screw this up so I'll just have to wait and see how it all works out.

IMO he'd be a great fit in Supergirl. Investigating Cadmus and such.
Supergirl is already getting a certain detective!

They already had her and Spectre on Gotham, though. Never forget.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Too bad Gotham butchered Renee Montoya.
Hopefully we could still get Vic.

I finally saw the first episode and LMAO. The mayor handsome thing was hilarious. And then he goes and builds a hideous black canary statue in some shipping dock in the middle of nowhere and like 12 people show up for the ceremony. Impeach mayor handsome.

Damn did they really screw that one up.
Still hoping eventually they just pull some "just her mother/aunt" bs, honestly she was the single worst thing Gotham has done
Grizzlyjin
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Gotham's Harvey Dent is a bit of a mess too. Absolutely unnecessary

Also done poorly on that show: Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Spectre, Firefly, Mr. Freeze, Azrael, Red Hood, Catwoman, Talon, and more!
Pretty much everyone if you expect them to be anything like their comic counterparts.
Poison Ivy beat a dude with a plant and let the plant to die
Also she is a reverse 1000 year old dragon and her name is not Pamela Isley

At least he got taken out before he was completely unsalvageable.
Montoya is pretty much completely ruined in that interpretation. Question is about the only thing that can save her but The Question running around on that show a good 5+ years before Batman would be an even bigger negative.

That's actually true so far this season.
If you bring up Gotham in this topic, it will get shit on. So don't, it isn't the Gotham topic.
It changes a minor detail. The rest is all logic progress.
I'm actually pretty happy with season 5 so far. Having a metahuman(?) on the team with a mystical "holy vengeance" mindset and personality is a nice contrast to the more realistic characters. The fights and stunts are nicely done and the editing and camera work shows off more of the choreography instead of being lost in choppy editing.
People (read: Reddit) whine about how the show is going backwards with Felicity's dominance in the story and Oliver killing again, but it's not nearly as bad as the Olicity soap opera stuff. I kind of like that Oliver is being a tough bastard who kills and it goes to show that a no-kill rule is really really hard to keep. Unfortunately the only "voice of reason" character the show has is Felicity (and maybe Thea, but she's out of Team Arrow right now and Diggle is away), so Felicity has to take that role, but we get annoyed with her because of all her previous baggage. Like, if it was Diggle telling Oliver what to do, we'd be totally fine with it.
