Arrow has returned to its rightful place as the best CW superhero show. Shame no Olicity, though.

Arrow S5 |OT| You thought you were out, but Manu Bennett pulls you back in.

Pick one.
To be fair Arrow is the only show where that trope can even slightly make sense. It's far more egregious on shows like Flash or Supergirl when a human outruns a meta.
Or when anyone besides the Big Bad outruns or hits barry.

Some of the CW shows do it nearly every episode. Get knocked down, bad guy escapes, cut to commercial. I let it slide with Arrow because everybody is like a ninja. It makes no sense with superspeed or flight. Like...you're just going to give up like that? They're probably down the street, at best.
And the actor is freaking cute
I figured he would be back, but here's another Arrow #100 photo.
And the press photos.
Oh Flash photos show
is back too.

The description for Arrow 100 sounds a LOT like the
episode of Batman: The Animated Series where

"Perchance to Dream"
Bruce Wayne wakes up in a "perfect life" where he's engaged to Selina Kyle and someone else is Batman.

Also sounds a lot like
"For The Man Who Has Everything,"
JLU and Supergirl.
Do people who've been Alchemied come out of their husks in their Flashpoint clothes? That would explain both one of these shots and where Clariss got his Rival suit
Well if it wants to be good it needs to stay that way.
You can actually see Wally is wearing his Kid Flash outfit in his frozen prism state.
What shot are you talking about though?

Having no Olicity is one of the reasons this season is on its way back to being the show it once was!
Just waitin on Manu showing up.....

Manu showing up would just be wonderful
The synopsis for the mid-season finale dropped yesterday, missed it. Sounds intense.
#5.09 "What We Leave Behind"
Oh and wow, I had no idea the Justified vet in the flashbacks was playing Sabbac. I assume it's like Lyla, where she's just got the name and isn't actually Harbinger.

Which shows are on break?
No Arrow and Legends this coming week. Supergirl and Flash still good.

I though the shot of Sarah, Ray, Ollie and Diggle was supposed to be in the real world, but looked again and saw Ollie and Dig in the same costumes in the fantasy world.
There's a shot of Sarah hugging Laurel, with Laurel in a wedding dress and Sarah in a track jacket.

Youre the best, Zero
I'd say low, they specifically mentioned Dolph was only supposed to be in three episodes until they extended it. I think he's flashbacks only.
Oh yeah there's some questions as to the reality between the shots. I guess technically they could all be fantasy? Or the fantasy itself might be all fantasy?

Plus Prometheus is supposed to tie into Oliver's actions in Season 1.
It is a common trope. It has been kinda done to death.

I just can't help it. Olicity has branded a tramp stamp on my soul.
I disagree. He's clearly gone to the "smelling a fart" acting school and been kind of a letdown.
No flashbacks in the crossover I think.

I'm pretty certain Thea is my favorite character. I miss her suiting up, but she's still a fave.

That is why the ratings dropped so much this year.

of course the best season (BEST) is it's lowest rated. people don't deserve shit.
That might be related to the Netflix deal. People know the seasons will show up on Netflix earlier.

I see Joni wants the thread locked with all that Olicity. Its against GAF's ToS to post that filth.
And it is a show a bit long in the tooth coming off a contentious season.
Are there many shows where their ratings are still going up in the 5th season, beyond smash hits?
More than likely related to the CW app than Netflix. Even if the ratings are low, they must have some hella good numbers with the app
The topic is mine to kill.
Not really, television ratings tend to drop year on year anyway.
Indeed, that one will also help lower live ratings.

I looked for this for a long time.
Can't believe I actually watched after that.
Thankfully this season brought me back.

After the putrid dog shit season 3 (I enjoyed the overall League of Assassin's storyline - that was fantastic, but the acting and dialogue was fucking cringe) and 4 turned out to be, S5 has been re-markedly good so far.
However, Curtis really gets on my fucking nerves. Terrible character, as funny as cancer, and without a doubt the most useless vigilante.
The Flash appears to have better characters and actors overall - there is not a single character I dislike. Barry, Iris, Joe, Caitlin, Harrison Wells - they're all great! The only people who I actually like in the Arrow are John Diggle and Oliver Queen, though Wild Dog and Ragman haven't been "too bad". I grew to dislike Felicity in S3 and S4 with her melodrama.
I don't think the 'OG' Arrow team will be topped. S1 and S2 were really the best tbh.
