Yes, secondly I hope Superboy Prime turns up and just wrecks everything.
Would be a shame. I see your point, but in some ways it does make sense for the natural cyclical conclusion of it all to be a confrontation between Deathstroke and Oliver.
Been reading/watching some stuff about people theorizing that Merlyn and Oliver have to team up in order to stop The League? Personally I could see it, but not for a while. Thea's death (or even harm) could be the catalyst. Merlyn can use the fact he knows Arrow's identity against Oliver.
On the League, I have a feeling they might dip into the DC character base and pull some more assasin's out, not sure who I would favour. Lady Shiva? Doctor Moon?

Everyone should've just looked at him with disgust and then carried on without answering.
well, irc Ollie said that island isn't the only place he's been on in these five years, so maybe we'll get something else.

I always took that as his referencing the boat but it could mean more, so fair enough on that point. I certainly hope it's entertaining at least.

Cut out the part with Roy's facial expression and it will be perfect. Just Ollie shooting him, then casually walking off as Roy cowers on the ground.
You say that now, and I (and many others) felt the same way. But it only took a few minutes for many of us to love him.

Flash pilot directed by the guy who did the "Red Wedding" Game of Thrones episode.

Nutter has done a ton of pilot episodes over the years including Arrow, Millennium, Supernatural, Terminator: TSCC, The Mentalist, etc...

And the pilots for Arrow, Sarah Connor Chronicles, Supernatural, Smallville, Dark Angel, Roswell, Millennium, Space: Above and Beyond, and many great episodes of X-Files (including the masterful "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose). He also directed the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Cornballer beating me to it.
They won't re-use Ra's for the movies anyway. They will use Joker in this cycle, but I wouldn't expect Bane or Ra's. The fact they can mention him, already shows DC doesn't care about him at the moment.
Ollie injected Slade. So

Why does he wear the mask!?
Thanks, not too bad then.
Barry's got Jungle fever?

Would be an interesting twist.

Well, I was clearly wrong on the whole Ollie-burning-Slade thing.
I'm pretty hyped that David Nutter is doing the Flash pilot as well. Amell appeared on a fan podcast thing, and he credited Nutter's work on the pilot as the flashpoint for all the best stuff about the show.
Neat. Bit more whimsical than the Arrow logo.
Jungle fever? LOL. That made me crack up a bit.
So his love interest will be the daughter of the detective that took him in and raised him. Reading those character descriptions makes me pretty interested.
Any casting ideas for Iris and Detective West?

very interesting!
I'll assume they get the right actor as they have been for everyone save Laurel.

Definitely. I have complete faith in CW's casting choices. They've nailed every time. Plus, when they cast Grant, they had a chemistry test with Emily to ensure that they would have great chemistry and it shows. I expect the same thing for this show (even more since it'll be a more lighthearted show).
Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with Katie Cassidy. She is a great actor. She was excellent on Supernatural. No, her problem is that the writers can't write Laurel's character well or consistent. That's the main problem. Katie Cassidy does what she can with what she has.
Still waiting for Ruby-Cassidy to reappear on Arrow. They haven't given Laurel a chance to be badass and have it be convincing.
Eh, it's not like being white is a vital part of her character. And hey, more interracial couples on TV is always cool.
Why you mad tho?

Iris West isn't an African-American.
I don't know man, with all these DC news lately I feel like I'm the only one to not be mad about anything.
Let me rage in peace.

Great episode overall. Didn't care for Felicity being all over Barry, pretty much rules out her and Ollie, at least for awhile. I really hope they don't have her like, switch over to the Flash show to be his love interest, that would ruin the dynamic of the show.
Overall I was really dreading the introduction of super powers, but Season 2 has slowly upped the unrealistic stuff and they did it in a way that wasn't completely ridiculous, so I'm not too upset.

Was waiting for these dumb responses
At least wait until they introduce black Wally to rage.
Oh man, I can't wait for that news to hit in like season 2 of the show. People are gonna go off. lol

Having Iris and her dad be black will help avoiding rehashing Arrow formula.
Now we only need The White Driver to appear on Arrow.

We should start a new controversy about Slade being half blackface

The White Driver. The Black Driver's horrific arch-nemesis, born in blood and terror.

That is the worst attempt at trying to conceal information that I've ever seen.
Eish
Perfect response.
Anywho, any ideas on who should play west?
Kerry Washington would be great, but I think she's a bit older than the guy they've got playing Barry, plus she's already got a show.
They've gotta get someone young who can pull off that spark of curiosity and determination that Iris has. She's kind of like Veronica Mars, but a reporter. It's too bad Janelle Monae isn't an actor, because her look is PERFECT.

It's interesting that when people mention beautiful black women they always bring up people who have facial features that wouldn't be amiss in a group of Caucasian women.

CW just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about white people (I'm an expert), but being white is huge parts of it. It's not like it is at Fox where you can become successful by casting black people. If you cast more than one black person on a show, you upset the ratio, and the only way to fix the ratio is killing off black characters.
What this means is the Nielsen viewers, after hearing about this, are not going to want to watch The Flash on the CW, nor will they watch any CW's shows. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but CW has alienated an entire market with this move.
CW, publicly apologize and cast white people for Iris and Detective West or you can kiss your ratings goodbye.

Fantastic episode. God damn, this show... It may not be Breaking Bad, but fuck me if it isn't fun. Season 2 has generally been really good.
Grant was super charming, especially with Felicity. Can't wait to see his spin-off.
Moira dropping Ra's' name like it was fucking nothing.... *slowclap*
And Ollie just shooting Roy through the leg. God damnit. GOD DAMNIT.
AND NO LAUREL! THANK FUCKING GOD! Hopefully the writers are taking a serious look at how to not make her totally suck. Or how to kill her off and have Sara take her identity to lose the League of Assassins' trail...
