Surprising. I could swear it was longer.

We should. One of the very best comic runs currently.

Yeah I've been hearing good things and I should really be reading it now that it's not that weird old goatee'd Ollie from old anymore. The only thing that really made me avoid Green Arrow before is the aesthetic look of the old Ollie.

I stayed very far away from GA pre-new 52, hated the character design. (I get the impression you are asking more generally though?)

I own Quiver! Bought it years ago
That means I can claim I was a GA fan before you guys
Nah I was asking about Green Arrow.
Yeah I didn't like his old look either, much prefer the 52 hooded look.
Longbow hunters is the one with Shado right?
Might get that. Interested to see how Shado is in the comics
I read up to the part where IIRC Ollie
meets up with a Native American dude in the desert, in full face paint,
I loved the art though.

Saw that on FB. Really cool
Yeah.
I don't know, I think it is a very fun redrawn Tangled wallpaper.

Not sure if they'll bring back the League of Assassins because that would bring Sarah back as a consequence and that would kinda make her leaving meaningless. Story is probably centered around Merlyn and Thea. I'm expecting a timeskip.
It can't be too big of a timeskip, if Arrow is going to be going on around the same time as The Flash. The Flash is at least a few months ahead of the finale of Arrow season 2. Or perhaps they'll set the Flash and Arrow in different time periods from each other.
I can't imagine a timeskip working that well when it comes to The Flash show. If Arrow ends up being like 1 year later, will make any co-appearance in Flash odd. I know it could possibly be played off well if keep appearances and importance of appearances to a minimum, though that be a missed opportunity for something more. But would still bug me to have two shows set in same shared universe set in different times.
Unless of course Flash actually has him in a comma for much longer. lol
Edit: Beaten.

Naaw, thats super cute
There's a line in the Flash extended trailer that says
he was in a coma for 9 months. The episode when he went into a coma aired in December 2013.

There won't be a big time jump in Arrow. It'll be like between the first two seasons, a couple of months. Both shows will generally take place at the same time.
Wasn't expecting anything big, Maybe just something like 6 months. Just enough so that when Thea comes back and is an actual competent villain, it kind of makes sense.
You should imagine Arrow taking place around the same time as the real world. When the show comes back in October it'll be 5 months after the end of the season.
Things move fast in the Arrowverse. Roy had like five minutes of training and he became great with a bow. Thea will be godlike after 5 months of Malcolm's Swagschool.
Could you imagine if he got her a speech therapist? They could do wonders in that amount of time.

I like Arrow but you can definitely see that it's a CW show - so much forced drama.

But seriously though, they can make Thea and Malcolm great villains because Oliver will probably want to stop at nothing to kill or capture Malcolm but his feelings for Thea will prevent him from just going ape-shit all the time ( that and the fact that Malcolm will probably kick his ass again in a straight up fight )
Thea will be the true Harry Osborn to Merlyn's Norman Osborn. Thea does what Tommy couldn't.
No but thing is is that
The League is still after him. That's why we didn't see him for half a season. If he's going to be a villain next season then what happens?
Yeah there'll be a time skip of 5 months
Arrow and Flash takes place same time as real world.

Stopped watching right before the Suicide Squad episode. Saw a gif that intrigued me and watched the rest of season 2 that I had DVR'd, skipping the SS episode and Birds Of Prey. So glad I did. What a tremendous stretch of final episodes.
Gotta say tho, the Lance family having a heartwarming goodbye as Canary runs off with assassins was pretty funny.

DC: Hm a movie about female superhero, what about Wonder Woman?
Nevermind Wonder Woman is too complicated with her Greek Mythology, that would be way too hard to create, let's do another batman/superman thing. How about we make them fight an evil corporate gangster! That is fresh, right?
Marvel: Here's a movie with an asshole thief, a talking raccoon, a warrior tree, a green female assassin and an alien Kratos saving the galaxy to the sound of Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling"!

Okay GAF, lets make a census on the Best and Worst episodes of the show so far.
Best: 2x23 - Unthinkable
The fight scenes were good, the pacing was good, even Thea was okay-ish, and that says a lot.
Worst: 1x15 - Dodger
What a shit episode this was, weak villain, the romantic sub-plot was cringe worthy and the Island flashbacks felt like filler content.

That seems about right.
Though Dodger did have a little bit of charm.

I don't even remember what Dodger was about. Is that Baltar from BSG? I don't even remember him being in the show. Must've been a pretty forgettable episode.

The one where he makes people do his stealing for him using explosive collars. Felicity ends up getting a collar placed on her. Oliver saves her somehow, kinda forget.

Dodger had Felicity glammed up. It can't be the worst.
Thus, why it can't be the worst. I am not sure what I would pick for the worst. The best for me is The Promise. The Undertaking is a close second.
The "Come on, who the fuck are you kidding?" look that Lance gives to Laurel as she puts on the jacket cracked me up.

I spent most of Dodger trying to place that voice until I finally realized it was Gaius Baltar.
Hence, I remember little of the plot.

Dodger was a waste of James Callis' talent.
