I feel like this would've gone better if you let Ragman fight Church

 

[Freddy=Legend]

No, he was totally waiting for an entrance line. Haha

 

[DangerMouse]

Ragman taking the W.

"Was he waiting for an entrance line?"

 

[ZeroX03]

Holy shit Ragman really is the audience surrogate. I immediately thought of Oliver making an entrance line.

Wild Dog and Church stinger is fantastic. Both of them fierce.

 

[LotusHD]

Thea

Don't let her down Quentin.

Are they really going to make them a thing?

 

[OdysseusVA]

I like how the flashbacks weren't as thematically relevant this episode so they just made them brutal as hell.

Four for four, yeah?

I concur

 

[george_us]

Church is amazing

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Really enjoying Church as a villain. He's ruthless and charming in a twisted sort of way.

 

[WedgeX]

Cuddy why you so bad?

 

[LotusHD]

Jesus that preview.

 

[Luigi87]

Ragman taking the W.

"Was he waiting for an entrance line?"

Ragman says what we think.
Ragman is the best.

 

[Malvingt2]

wait... who is that?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Church is boss

Spoiler

Who's that guy with the mask in the preview?

 

[neojubei]

wait... who is that?

yeah looks like a futuristic deathstroke

 

[DangerMouse]

"Respect!"

Are they really going to make them a thing?

Nah, couldn't see that at all. Maybe just get some friendship going.

SLAAAAADE




































isn't back.

It seems more like a father daughter thing, they've both got fucked up families so it kind of fits.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

wait... who is that?

In the preview? Almost looked like New52 Deadshot.

... Thea gonna die D=
... Again...

 

[LotusHD]

Hope so. Feels like that's exactly what it should be, but their scenes feel like it's trying to portray something differently entirely at times.

#5.05 Human Target Promo

Spoiler

When Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman) captures and tortures one of Oliver’s new recruits, Oliver must turn to an old friend, Christopher Chance (guest star Wil Traval) AKA the Human Target, for help. Meanwhile, Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) worlds collide when Detective Malone (guest star Tyler Ritter) joins the ACU. Laura Belsey directed the episode written by Oscar Balderrama & Sarah Tarkoff (#505). Original airdate 11/2/2016.

Hope so. Feels like that's exactly what it should be, but their scenes feel like it's trying to portray something differently entirely at times.

They're trying to be subtle with the dynamic, but when The CW tries platonic it has a way of just seeming sexual anyway. See: Oliver and Thea. Malcolm and Thea. Oliver and Moira. Oliver and Tommy.

Nyssa and Laurel

 

[Luigi87]

Wait.. Uh, that promo...

Spoiler

That's KGBeast

Edit: Maybe I'm wrong, but those markings...

 

[GulAtiCa]

Another great episode. Really loving all this so far.

 

[ZeroX03]

Nyssa and Laurel

Oh yeah that one wasn't helped by Nyssa being a lesbian either, and Katie Cassidy having more chemistry with Katrina Law than anybody else.

Wait.. Uh, that promo...

Spoiler

That's KGBeast

Edit: Maybe I'm wrong, but those markings...

Possibly. I hope it's not actually the one we know, or a coincidence.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Speaking of which... I hope they find time to have Nyssa guest star sometime.

You might be right.....

Yeah I'd be rather annoyed at this point if it's the one we know.

She's a regular on CBS' upcoming Training Day

 

[MikeBreezy92]

I kinda miss Malcolm swagging in and going "I'M RA'S AL GHUL!!!!"

then I realize the series atm is better off focusing on Star City and Oliver's Boys and Girls club and regret those thoughts.

Hey... I'm still waiting for it.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Hey... I'm still waiting for it.

Just rewatch season 1. Slowly.

 

[ZeroX03]

Legends will get there

Tommy and Thea.

They acknowledged that one at least.

 

[neojubei]

Despite Church having no powers he is a pettty good villain.

 

[Luigi87]

Mm...

Spoiler

Just waiting for that confirmation that Thea was actually adopted~

Despite Church having no powers he is a pettty good villain.

He's way more interesting than Brick.

 

[ZeroX03]

Church is a good little bad before Prometheus. We did not need 23 episodes of the main villain.

 

[The Light]

Church does have powers. Notice when he starts fighting he becomes leaner and a smidge taller.

me too

 

[morningbus]

There's been way more of Church than I had expected and it's really great.

Compare this to Brick and it's night and day.

 

[DangerMouse]

Yeah

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

This is the season Ollie gets publicly unmasked, isn't it?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ollie walks in in 5 minutes with a better mask than Diggle had all S4.

 

[ZeroX03]

This is the season Ollie gets publicly unmasked, isn't it?

Would be a nice dynamic change. Surprised one of the shows hasn't bitten that bullet yet. It does dramatically changes things though.

I mean, out of all these DCCW shows, I think the only two characters to ever operate under a public identity were Green Arrow and Wally west.

 

[Violence Jack]

Arrow has finally surpassed Flash for now. It's actually really damn good so far.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Another good ep .
Arrow has been on point this season .

 

[ZeroX03]

I mean, out of all these DCCW shows, I think the only two characters to ever operate under a public identity were Green Arrow and Wally west.

I don't see Supergirl going public for many seasons.

Wally as a public super hero was written for laughs mostly. Stuff like the city worrying about insurance for his shenanigans. I'm not sure how much it would change The Flash as the show largely doesn't interact with the public or have the city as a character like Arrow. It's not like Barry hides his identity that well.

Arrow probably has the most to gain from the move. Lots of new stories from that, it'll be an end of season event to shake things up.

Also a perfect mid-year break cliffhanger.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Curtis seems to shrink and put on weight.
