just like to point out the show put that suitcase there for no other purpose than for her to step over.

I do agree that they need to use the trick arrows a little more sparingly. Though, in this episode's defense, Bronze Tiger and China White kept breaking the regular sharp ones.

-The love triangle in the island: My fears are becoming truth it seems, the whole scene with Slade watching Oliver and Shado was awful. If this is the reason of
Slade becoming Deasthstroke and Oliver's enemy it will be a major fuck-up
I'm think he is actually jealous that Shade is dating Ollie, not the other way around.

Have they not yet invented tempered glass in Starling City? Last week he managed to break through a office building window with nothing but a shoe, this week, the dude with the picket sign taps the window glass and it shatters like it was water.

Otherwise, pretty good episode.
 
Io9 recap is out!

http://io9.com/arrow-shows-that-the-rich-are-terrible-terrible-people-1446889043

Roy has continued his amateur vigilante theatrics, nearly getting himself killed when he attempts to stop the hijacking of a FEMA truck carrying medicine to a hospital. (He fails, the FEMA truck gets taken, and China White stabs the FEMA drivers.) Laurel tries to dissuade him from the path of The Vigilante. Ollie does, too. The guys have a Psycho Eyes contest. Ollie sticks to his usual trick of making his eyes look like marbles that have been rolled through hell and set on fire. Roy shakes and twitches like a serial killer being pre-electrocuted for his crimes.

Then Thea fires her boyfriend. Technically, Thea, as the manager of a nightclub, has a right to fire an employee. But she makes it clear that she's firing Roy because she can't be his girlfriend if he's keeping up the vigilantism. And, it appears, if she can't be his girlfriend, he can't be her employee. At the end of the episode, Green Arrow appears to Roy and asks him to stop getting into fights and instead be a mole in The Glades. So Roy goes back to Thea. Or an unskilled employee, with an arrest record, in a severely depressed area of the country, goes back to banging his billionaire boss so he's not turned out into the street. I'm not saying that that's actually what's happening. I'm just saying it looks really, really bad.

Today's recap is a good one.
 
You would think that, with somebody killing federal employees and stealing truckloads of government medical supplies, those shipments would be getting National Guard escort before the third hijacking.
 
When are they actually going to call him Green Arrow? I was so hyped at the end of the first episode and fucking nothing gets referenced in the second. People still call him the hood, he just refers to himself as a vigilante. Ugh.

season 1: "The Hood"

season 2: "The Arrow"

season 3: "Green Arrow" and he'll get one of those dumb comic book masks

I'm one hard drive and a lonely night away from going full on fistful....

If fistful was here he'd be like, "Whoa, Rafa, you're even creeping me out dude."

The series' tone is going to end up resembling Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin, and y'all are going to sit down and love it.

Trick arrows are awesome. If you dont like them youre either a communist or a communist that got shot with a trick arrow.

I think this season is about him vindicating himself in the eyes of the city. At the end, they'll be like, "What should we call you?" and he will shout from the top of a building "Green Arrow!" Then he will jump off the building into the sunset and the city will cheer.

I don't know what this show has but I can't help but just love it so much, it has some some kind of magical charm to it. Glad the ratings are doing well for this :) <3

This was really really bothering me. I'm all for suspension of disbelief but this is ridiculous.
 
god Felicity was so hot in this episode and dammit hope they don't do a ridiculous love triangle

oh and lol at Laurel. Hope the writer make her realize that she the one responsible for Tommy death

Chyna White called him the Emerald Arrow.

It's the first step to a new name sticking. I'm sure he will adopt the Green Arrow name before the season is over.

At the end of that, there are like sixty cops standing about two feet away from him.

AND NO ONE WILL RECOGNIZE HIM.

It is hard to recognize someone that will beat you up. It is not like they can fire at him because there is a huge chance they'll hit another cop.
 
Finally caught up, I hate being a day behind you guys.

I actually don't mind the shitty writing plot holes, like the truck drivers not having escorts, if they did then it would have been a pretty short episode.

I really don't think Slade being jealous of Shado and Ollie will be the reason he goes all Deathstroke on Ollie's ass, I think it'll probably start as a minor frustration for him, and Ollie will do some monumentally stupid things that'll just piss him off more and more. Also curious about the misshapen heads!

Laurel is being pretty stupid, but I'm wondering if there's a good reason why they want her hating on the Hood, seems like a set up for some plot development later, possibly involving Black Canary
her supposedly dead sister
who I'm thinking will help save Ollie from all those cops.

I'm really hoping that they develop Roy from informant to sidekick swiftly, it'll be annoying if they drag that out too long.

And did anyone else notice Ollie's lingering look after Felicity when she brought him his coffee, almost in a contemplative way?
