They need to address this already. This is pulling me out of episodes that he doesn't just call out Oliver on being The Arrow. It's not even funny, it's just stupid. He's looked him dead in the face with decent lighting on numerous occasions, even next to the Canary that he knows is his daughter (I believe his detective skills figured that one out... crazy huh), and he called the Arrow when Ollie was right next to him. It's impossible to continue thinking Officer Lance is not the biggest idiot ever when they won't make the jokes that need to be made of Lance playfully letting The Arrow now that he is Oliver, yet Oliver pretending that no one should be able to figure it out.laying up to the moment where officer Lance just out right tells him that he has known this entire time and that the charade has gone on long enough.
Also WTF was Felicity wearing in this episode? What was with the collar on her dress? Did she borrow that dress from her grandma?

Doesn't that fit into your old-timey fetish though?

Maybe if it looked more like a doily, and she had color matched half dome stud earrings to go with it while putting her hair in a bun.
She didn't put in enough effort to complete the old-timey look
couple things
- Ollie calling Roy by his little sister's nickname was dumb
- When Laurel is involved in a big action episode, can you please not put her in high heels? thx. And when you've established that she can fight regular thugs half-decently, can you please let her do a little damage to them before you damsel her? thx.
- Normally I'd say the complaints about people not figuring out secret identities are dumb because it's a comic thing and it requires a huge suspension of disbelief, but Arrow is just being inconsistent now. After Chesthair quickly figured out Sara was the Canary, Laurel should have figured it out by the end of the episode. At this point in the story the hidden identity aspect isn't that interesting anyway and just holds back the characters who don't know.
- Jessica De Gouw was so much better this episode. I guess her time in Dracula helped her? Now Lotz is officially the worst actor on the show.
- Prediction: Malcolm saves Thea next episode, not Oliver.
- Not enough Felicity and Diggle, as usual.
She's gone from a terrible character in season 1 to an enjoyable character in season 2. Season 3 she's gonna turn into an awesome character. Bank on it.
Like a phoenix with a speech impediment, Slurry is rising from the ashes.

Next episode ends in a Barrowman / Bennett Swag-Off
Ollie will be stuck out in that field for a long time once TTP is cancelled.

I didn't care at all for this episode, but I suppose they've got to set up the better episodes somehow.

Two general questions, no answers needed if it involves spoiling future episodes:
1. Why were people saying Roy is going to lose his hand?
2. Why are people convinced Laurel needs to become a villain?
I've never read a single Green Arrow comic so I know very little about that actual universe and story.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Laurel was at her best (at least for me) when she was a bit of an antagonist. Like when she set up that SWAT ambush, or putting Oliver's mom on trial. It makes the dynamic of things more interesting.
An alright episode. It wasn't out and out bad, but probably one of the weaker ones this season.

Maybe i ain't remembering well but didn't Olliver also lose his arm in the comics?
EDIT: Yeah it's from the Dark Knight Returns
I kind of hoping Merlin is the one to do it, he broke is daughter hearth
Yeah but that's not canon.Maybe i ain't remembering well but didn't Olliver also lose his arm in the comics?

I could count several of them only from Spartacus that were better. But then again, that show was awesome in everything.
He was my favourite person in Spartacus too, I think I just have a Manu Bennett man-crush - but then again, who doesn't?

Merlyn dies saving Thea? Did we ever find out who attacked Diggle when he was gonna shoot Slade?
The universe would implode because of the swag
I'm starting to believe it will happen. And that belief has become a need.
DON'T TAKE THIS FROM ME, ARROW.
I think you figured it out. Oliver is going to get his ass kicked by DS and Merlyn is going to swoop in to save the day.
If this doesn't happen I swear I'll cry.
yeah it's also a perfect time for thea to find out that Malcolm is her father after he rescues her and she's like wtf???
too good to pass up on multiple levels unless they couldn't secure Barrowman for whatever reason.
Good way to make Arrow look like a straight BITCH.

Barrowman loves the role, so I don't think they'd have a problem in that regard.
I think Thea would be more freaked out cause she tried to bang Tommy on more than one occasion.
And Tommy said she had gotten hot since Ollie was away.

It is pretty funny to see John Barrowman playing a serious role on Arrow and then later see him hosting "Superstar Dogs: Countdown to Crufts" on British television.

Slade's thirst for Shado is INTENSE, that mirakuru puts in you double ascended friendzone.

That's exactly what my mind jumped to the second Thea got into the car with Slade.
Makes too much sense for it not to happen. Thea is Merlin's only living kid, probably feels guilty for killing Tommy, teams up with Arrow crew to save her, probably gets killed in the process and either tells Thea the truth, dies right before telling her, or decides not to tell her because he sees the error of his ways.

Merlyn will survive. Come on, guys. He'll die at Ollie's hand nearer to the end of the series, I'm fairly sure.
Or, I can see Deathstroke killing him later.

I'm burning through Torchwood right now, and it's hilarious to contrast the two characters.

I imagine if Barrowman snuck some of his Jack Harkness-esque dialog into Merlyn's speeches, Wozzly's stories would pretty much write themselves.

The official description for the 19th episode of the season titled
has now been released.
These run of episodes to end the season is going to be GOOD.
"The Man Under The Hood"
DEATHSTROKE HITS OLIVER AT HOME Oliver (Stephen Amell), Canary (Caity Lotz), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) return to the lair and find Slade (Manu Bennett) waiting for them. An epic battle breaks out and one member of Team Arrow is sent to the hospital. Thea (Willa Holland) hits her breaking point, but just as Oliver is about to reach her, Slade intervenes and Oliver is faced with a choice his battle with Slade or his family. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) struggles with a new secret. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Geoff Johns and teleplay by Andrew Kreisberg & Keto Shimizu (#G219).
These run of episodes to end the season is going to be GOOD.
I was legit puzzled by the fact that Laruel didn't know who her sister was, in the episode when her sister came back she was being hunted by League Assassins and at the end of the episode Laurel was RIGHT THERE when she begged Raz Al Ghu's daughter to let her go and how she was "done with killing."
So like how in the fuck did she just forget all that when her sister shows up in a pask and push up bra?
