Her chin got possessed.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I'm usually used to Arrow being punch after punch of amazingness. I should have realized that it'd just be an okay episode when Amell didn't hype this one.

But hey, it was alright. The undercooked villain was a shame, especially since they had a good actor to play him. Hopefully when he reappears he'll be written better and given more to do.

Ollie snapping at Felicity was so lame and CW. But that apology at the end made up for it. It was emotionally mature.

I'm gonna be honest, when Ray and Thea started doing it, I mentally replaced Roy with me. Goddamn you Colton Haynes.

Slade on the island is going cray-cray. Also, Ivo is seriously whacked. Also, did Slade shave? And get a haircut?

Almost immediately when Quentin told the story about the aunt, I was like "I think it's his mom" and I WAS RIGHT. Ollie is such a poor judge of character.

I did really like that Ollie referred to his mask as a gift from a friend.

HOLY SHIT THAT DEATHSTROKE NEXT WEEK.

What HAPPENED to her?! She wasn't like this in Supernatural, Melrose Place, & Harper Island. She wasn't like this either last season.

I miss OG Katie Cassidy. Something's up. Even Season 1 Laurel looked like regular KC. Even The Scribbler KC looks normal.

It was a real douchebag move for Laurel to steal her dads pain pills like that, dude got fucked up hardcore.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I didn't clock that.

She lost weight...and then her chin grew thats the biggest thing between her now and supernatural. It's really weird. Looks stranger in stills though.

From supernatural for comparison:


Maybe it's just an age thing, who knows.

Something's up. She's still a very pretty woman, but the fact that she looks so different legitimately is distracting.

You know how Amell liked to interact with the Arrow fans and recently had a Q & A session taking live questions from the internet? I'm obviously way to late to participate in that last one, but for the next one I would love it if someone asked this question;

Q: Katie Cassidy was pretty good as Ruby back when she was on Supernatural, but Laurel always seems so sad on Arrow.... why the long face?

I'd be really interested to see how the question got answered.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It's been certainly bothering me the entire season.

Why so serious? Batman/Arrow crossover confirmed.

Joker's make-up has a white base but with this she'd make an excellent Wicked Witch of the West, no prosthetics needed.

 

[jb1234]

Putting aside the Katie Cassidy chin thing (which with the memes has really crossed the line into mean-spiritedness), this episode wasn't really the show at its best. But even weaker Arrow is still pretty damned entertaining.

[Discotheque]

if she gained some damn weight that chin wouldn't be so prominent. i'm not liking how gaunt she looks. it's just distracting at this point.

and yeah this episode was eh. not really any good action.

 

[Wiktor]

During that last scene between Olie and Felicity I was all like:

Also..damn Laurel is lookin reptilian.

 

[Wozzly]

I tried white but it just wasn't working. I was mainly going off the Batman Beyond with the Joker 's face in the background where he appeared green. I should have looked at screen caps

OMG brilliant! LOL

 

[Dryk]

"I finally find a guy that likes me..."

No Felicity, stop. You're too adorable for me to take that seriously.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It still works but in a different way!

I'm hoping she's just really dedicated to playing a severely depressed, drug abusing Laurel.

 

[anaron]

Let's just say that if the show was broadcast in 3D, we would all be getting a good exercise from ducking her chin everytime she turned her head.


I swear I could seer the line where her prosthetic chin was added on to her real chin. Her chin stole every scene she was in, it was all I could focus on.

Holy fuck, DEAD.

 

[AstroZombie]

Dammit laurel. Eat a fucking sammich.

 

[Jonogunn]

Fuck the laurel chin thing didn't bug me til now. Now I can't stop staring at it. It's gross

Bring back bigger laurel

 

[strafer]

Thanks a lot guys.

It must be plastic surgery.

 

[DieH@rd]

Episode was OK, but damn @ Laurel's chin.

This was maybe an origin story for http://www.comicvine.com/toyman/4005-1814/

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Laurel's chin isn't actually growing.
The chin's Laurel is just shrinking.

 

[strafer]

Okay, entertaining episode, not the best but entertaining.

Happy that Arrow is back.

Nah, it was just a realistic take on this guy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrapnel_(DC_Comics)

This is exactly what came to mind.



Phrasing.

 

[Rokam]

Alright guys that's enough Laurel bashing, she's chin through enough.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Deathstroke

next week....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAA

I know! So excited!

And as NotTheGuy asked, did Slade shave and get a haircut on the island between episodes?

And I like how Sarah was like "Ivo has an army. You can't take them all on, Slade!"
Duh, of course he can. And I want to see it. Just have Slade cut and break his way through an army then tear Ivo limb from limb.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Waittaminute. Amell runs a small wine company? And is starting to sell coffee from it now, too?

I think the hair effects of Mirakuru are yet to be discussed on show

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I don't think the hair effects of Mirakuru are yet to be discussed on show

But we have seen the results of the hair effects of it. It adds a distinguished gray to men's hair, somehow making them look more badass. It also imbues a wonderful fashion sense.

 

[Cornballer]

They should start putting Slade on the box:

 

[PhoncipleBone]

They should start putting Slade on the box:

Then it would be false advertising, because no regularly available box of any product on this earth can contain as much manliness and awesomeness that Slade has.

 

[Joni]

I laughed when detective Lance immediately noticed the mask.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Screw you guys and your Laurel chin jokes. Cannot unsee. >.>
Also, neat Saint Walker reference.

 

[Cornballer]

This is true. Any attempt to distill and package Slade probably won't work out too well.

[Ruze789]

Waittaminute. Amell runs a small wine company? And is starting to sell coffee from it now, too?

Awesome! I don't drink wine at all, but I'll give the coffee a shot.

Thought this was cool:

Nocking Point would not be possible without some help from some special people. Thank you to Jerry, our incredible winemaker, and to Jim Lee, the legendary DC Comics illustrator for designing our label.

And that Deathstroke in the preview looks gooood!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I hope this gauntness is just Katie being really dedicated to being in her downward spiral.

But I doubt it.

Waittaminute. Amell runs a small wine company? And is starting to sell coffee from it now, too?

I don't drink wine but I'll order the coffee.

Where are all the pouches?

 

[VeryGooster]

I laughed when detective Lance immediately noticed the mask.

"You have friends now?"

Straight up debating buying coffee from Amell.

 

[Tabby]

Do they sell in UK?
is that the secret to Amell's amazing abs?
I need me some of those.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The mask from the teaser

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BeEQN-OCcAE4q6h.jpg:large

I thought you guys were jumping to conclusions because the mask just looked silver on my screen,
Sure enough I rewatched it on my better tv and it looked like that image.
I can't wait.

 

[Ruze789]

This here must be the original draft:

 

[SeZMehK]

I completely forgot that it started airing again. Time to watch it when I get home.

Smallville Slade was dreadful, this is how it should be!

I don't remember him being on Smallville.

[Check Mark]

What the frak?!

I laughed when detective Lance immediately noticed the mask.

His way of trolling the attempt of disguise of Oliver Queen, if he haven't realize by now who the hood is, he's truly the worst detective ever

Shit, there's no excuse for Sebastian Blood not to know it's Ollie under there. They stared at each other at the end and shook hands.
