It was already mentioned.
But yeah that's good.
I think some people are getting tired of AOS and started switching to Arrow idk.

Bandwagoners brah. Just glad they are seeing the truth though.
I started watching when it was 4-5 episodes into S1. Got out of synch with the last thread and never posted. Glad I can post in this one.

Yeah, we've talked about it here a couple of times... It wouldn't be that surprising if it happened.
Yeah that idea's been thrown around. I certainly hope that's not the case due to the obvious similarities to Dark Knight Rises

It'd be so stupid.
Since the child of Ra's al Ghul was never mentioned by name, maybe she's Nyssa instead of Talia. She's russian like Summer Glau's character and I guess would at least partially subvert copying TDKR.

SF Bat Kid put Ollie, Felicity, and Diggle out of a job.

Have you seen last seasons finale? That was totally TDK, and Malcom Merlyn being associated with the league of assassins only solidifies this.
Summer Glau's character was Thalia al Gul,
Hold on...
Don't get me wrong Arrow is still an awesome show but
, wow they are totally going in on TDK:Rises format.
awkward
such huge plot points from TDK:Rise

This is fantastic. I love the cast on this show so much.
I love those 3 man.
The interaction and chemistry between them is great.
So according to Amellywood, the Arrowcave will be getting 2 new members this season.
Predictions?
Felicity can't win against the Terminator but she'll win my heart if Whip Cream or a Fire Hydrant is involved in the fight.
Things will only get more ironic if this natural disaster is what helps gives Barry super powers. He would be the first character smart enough to run away from her as fast as possible.

Roy and Detective Chesthair.
Roy and Black Canary. I'm pretty sure they've upped Lotz to a series regular but haven't announced it yet.
Commissioner Chesthair would never go into the
dawwww

What an awesome episode (turns out the show actually becomes better when Laurel isn't in it).
Also, god damn, Summer Glau,

I feel bad for Laurel, I think people are way too hard on her.
She's a lot like Oliver in a way (and even Sara), in that they are completely breaking her down before building her back up. The difference is that we got to fast forward through most of Oliver & Sara's rock bottom stage, while hers is on full display.

But Ollie has a purpose. Laurel does not.

Ollie didn't at first either. He was a whiny brat and a grade A douchebag before his "transformation".
We get to see the end result of his crucible, so it all makes sense. Hers is still on-going.
So we have to watch at least five years of Laurel doing that? Because anything less literally trivializes Oliver and Sarah's 5-year journey
don't you dare fucking say Venom/Mirakulu/whatever Brother Blood has

You think characters have to go through the exact same ordeal (in timespan and/or experience wise) in order for their struggle to be valid?
Every character's journey is unique to them. Laurel doesn't need to be trapped on a crazy island or a prison ship for years in order to be changed through various hardships.

We were so close too!
So what Lind of scenario are we talking- some villain kills Laurel and her mother, then Sarah has her name legally changed to Dinah Laurel Lance in their honor?

There, now I'm all up to speed with the show. Spontaneous thoughts after S2E6:
- Ollie really needs to start growing that goatee now. It's getting ridiculous when every other character has a greenarrowier goatee than him!
- Every starring character except for Ollie, Felicity and Sarah are boring and completely uniteresting.
- I totally spaz (in a good way) out every time the show makes references to (or steal from) The Nolanverse.... which is at least five times per episode <3 Even though, it feels kinda cheap at the same time.
- They need to make a future season entirely based on the SuperMAX-script where Ollie has to break out from a super-villain-prison!
- The sub-plots are bad. Really really bad. Which is a shame when the main plot is great.

The Diggster is awesome, man.
What do you think has been taken from the "Nolan"verse exactly? I don't really remember any specific references besides the similarities in tone of course.
Yup. I think he meant from the batman comics

I love how, as a society, our response to characters we don't like is "kill them".
Not "they need to leave the show".
They need to die.
Yes, yes, I realize it's fiction, but honestly, is that any better?
The bus can come back if you put the character on a bus.

Except that Olie was interesting and relatable once he hit the island. Laurel isn't.

I feel people are too hard on Laurel. I mean I don't like the character, but she's not THAT bad. She's not Lana Lang levels of bad. Everyone remember how awful Lana was on Smallville and compare her to Laurel. All of a sudden Laurel aint looking so bad now is she?

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Not sure if this is some kind of joke about her being good in the episode because she wasn't in it...
I agree. She was amazing in the last episode.
Did so much right.
/sarcasm
I think the hate is justified. She's never been a good character. I got tired of the her keep going back and forth between Ollie and Tommy. Her stupid actions in the season 1 finale. And being completely useless in season 2; I understand it's a hard time but wow, it's not all about you. I LAUGHED when she said "What's so bad that everyone has to leave".

Yeah, Supernatural was Cassidy at her best IMO.

The tone mainly, but also things like the Ducard mentor like character which is obviously Ras, the Batman Begins beginning of the first season, some of the dialog I remember hearing either Bruce or Alfred saying.

Ha, that's awesome.
Hahahahaha, zing!
So I have to sit through five years of Laurel being terrible?
The writers are not trying very hard to make her breakdown interesting.
I miss this Katie. Why can't Laurel be more... her.
Aww.
Also, S2 has been great so far. I just hope what ya'll are speculating about Isabel isn't true.
