I know the first three volumes of the New 52 are pretty mediocre. I'm an idiot and I wait for DC trades to come out instead of just buying single issues, but apparently from issue #17 it gets real good.

As someone who isn't at all into comics, is the New 52 like a new continuity? Like basically a reboot of the franchise?

Has Brother Blood been ruled out already?

I prefer when they just break the show into two half-seasons and get couple months of hiatus between them. But few networks do that anymore.
That's pretty much it. Comics in the new continuity are usually labeled as such too. If you want to get into Green Arrow specifically, you can jump right in at issue #17 or get the volume 4 trade, "The Kill Machine."
screw it kill sara and merlyn and give me shado in return, was the best female character on the show next to felicity and of all the females, she honestly made the most sense as a (final?) love interest for Ollie.
plus she was just a badass and the actress was great
The fact that she's shown up twice since dying as a dream, leads me to believe we'll continue to see more of her.
Please writers...please?

This, and let her story follow her original comic's path
It seems everyone but you knew that would be the outcome if he found out, Sarah and Ollie had only been talking about it constantly and the show had only been setting it up for weeks.

I was a bit disappointed that we didnt get a scene where Roy found out Sara was Black Canary
Roy isn't even that familiar with the Lance family.
I don't think he'd make a big deal out of it.

The hell with that. I shall win her heart before you do, as I am from Vancouver as well.
Let the games begin, mothafucka.
I miss Shado
I hope she continues to haunt Ollie and Slade for the rest of the series, just showing up in sexy dreams, all sexy-like.fallengorn
Bitches love smiley faces

That would be hard....I mean, doesn't Willa Holland already have a restraining order against you? So you will have to stalk Cassidy Alexa only when she's not working, that will make the conquest diffcult.

Why? He felt betrayed by someone who thought it was his friend, almost a brother. He let Shado die, when she loved him, a fact that hurt him enough. Also his state of mind is clearly unstable since the Mirakuru, so at that moment Ollie was the person who he hated most in that room.

He is familiar with Black Canary though having been tied up by her and Sin and saved by her previously. Plus he was at Sara's welcome home party.
He's Thea's Boyfriend, he sorta had to go.
He doesn't know the Lance family that well outside of getting tied up.

Im not asking why he went to the party, im just saying a quick scene saying "Oh shit, you're that girl that came back from the Island as well, I was just at your party! Thanks for saving my life the other week, your hair looks different during the day.....oh it was a wig you say, fancy that. I just wear a red hoody and tend to punch holes in stuff. I saw a photo of you from season on...last year and you looked different and had brown hair, whats up with that?"
....Is that too much to ask?
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a deleted scene, considering how fast the show moves. Wouldn't be the first scene including Roy that's been deleted.

I have binged watched the show - caught up to Episode 11 of Season 2. At this point, Slade/Roy have the Miracle.
Show's amazing, what Smallville should have been, IMO.
One thing, though. I am potentially wary of how they will portray people with superhuman powers - technically, Slade, Cyrus Gold and even Roy should easily dispatch Arrow in a one-on-one. It's becoming very hard to believe how Arrow can still save the day despite being woefully underpowered.
Are they planning on writing out Mirakuru after the Slade arc?

My guess is Roy/Red Arrow will lose control of his rage (maybe after Thea is murdered?). I think we can rule out The Flash since they are now saving his first appearance for the pilot.
I don't think they'll murder Thea. There have been plenty of references that she will be Speedy from the comics, the second one after Roy. She's too important to die... I think. Maybe seeing red just means Roy finally takes his role as the red arrow?
Has that been confirmed though?
I thought they only said that episode 20 will no longer be a backdoor pilot.
Killing off Thea will maybe make Oliver reconcile things with Moira, Roy will no longer just be "That angry guy with superpowers", and we'd get a kickass season finale with Oliver and Merlyn vs Slade.

I don't think it'd do #1. Roy would just be an angrier douche with superpowers. And you can still have #3 by having her kidnapped instead of killed.

Not fucking happening, you son of a bitch!
pretty sure they've said the flash will make an appearance in episode 20, it's just no longer a backdoor pilot.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
If that's the case though then that's the Flash pilot going to contain? They've already shown Flash getting hit by the lightning and now they're maybe going to show Flash with powers for the first time?

If I had to guess, that's what it would be.
save the suit for the pilot. Just have Barry come out of his coma, and discover his powers and try to cope with them while fumbling up in Starling City with guidance from Team Arrow.

This is self control....
I'm sure they'll start it off by perhaps giving us some scenes with young Barry, his family, etc... his life as a cop briefly, and the beginnings of his quest to find his mother's killer. Then we'll probably get the same origin clip as in Arrow or a reshot version. Just speculating though.

Yeah, the last episode's ratings bum me out. This day show deserves to get better ratings, the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Has ratings that are more than twice Arrow's in the primary demo last week and I imagine regularly is a crime. But it's nice more and more people are discovering it and it's more popular than its ratings indicate.
About that episode title...
Episode 20 isn't going to be Flash related, that idea was scrapped ages ago when they went to just go into an actual pilot, which is currently being shot. I think Arrow is also shooting or finished episode 20 by now. Barry will probably wake up in the pilot and that whole deal along with controlling and exploring his powers along with establishing the characters. I do wonder if it'll just be a standard 40-45 minute episode/pilot or if they'll go the "TV Movie" like route for it for a ~90 minute/two hour pilot movie as an event and having it premiere a week before Arrow though I guess it might not matter if they did it that way or just have a two parter. I'd guess they'd start off with some of the young Barry stuff as dreams he's having in the coma.
Still makes the most sense to me for Flash and Arrow to be paired up, I could see Arrow being pushed to 9PM and Flash taking the 8PM because Flash IMO would feel more out of place at 9PM than Arrow with its hopefully lighter tone.
On a unrelated note there's some British Sci-Fi direct to video movie called The Machine coming out next month with Caity Lotz in it.
Trailer.

About that episode title...
"Seeing Red" is just being used with its standard meaning, someone is probably going to lose their self control and cause shit and yeah, probably Roy related. No way they're killing Thea though I wouldn't be surprised if something happens to her but I think Malcolm is going to eventually show up and save her from Slade.

Most Mirakuru people have no training, especially on the level of Oliver. So it's not surprising he can beat them. I mean, we see Black Canary beating dudes that are twice as big and twice as strong as her, all because of her training. Same principle applies here.
Slade is whole different matter though. But that's propably why it will take more than Oliver to take him down.
I meant restraint from partaking in the spoilers in the first damn place. Won't make the show air any quicker.
A thousand gratitudes for using spoiler bars though.
*spoilers*

I don't see Thea being killed off. They didn't nickname her "Speedy" for no reason.
