Chased by robot bees, you must flip it.

Thank you! As someone in a wheelchair from birth I was actually glad to see a "disabled" character on the cast... even if it was in CW "pretty" fashion where they don't show any of the real challenges, and just the most superficial, "Oh noes there is a step to her computer platform."

It was disappointing to see how quickly the story was resolved, especially when looking at a source material that has characters like Oracle who managed to be disabled, AND heroic.

The problem is Arrow speeds through everything. I agree it should have been handled better.

 

[jon bones]

not a terrible episode, Brie Larvin is bae and Curtis is a hoot

still far too much focus on Felicity

 

[psychotron]

Excellent! Lol.

 

[Klyka]

Felicity beating the bees with a lamp is....is just...god dammit


Also,you know what I really liked about the training sequence?
Showing again that Ollie has actual skill. The man is good at what he does. Sure, the actual episode fights often nerf him, but still.
When I watch "The Flash" for example, Barry is NEVER competent. Especially now that he does no more CSI stuff, they never show him doing anything he is actually good at.
Ollie today looked like a way better hero than Barry has been for a while.

 

[ZeroX03]

Were those BEES?

 

[Johndoey]

Were those BEES?

The beeest bees, they combed through the building, but faced a stinging retort and were definitively told to buzz off.

 

[Chariot]

Best episode in a long time. Laughed good. I hope Curtis becomes a regular member now, replacing Felicity as tech guy. He is fun and the way Team Arrow is used to Felicity and barely knows him could make for interesting dynamics and stories where they need to get used to each other's quirks. I hope they show that he isn't the same as Felicity and weaker in hacking and more into engineering or something.

 

[Sölf]

This episode was actually fun. As soon as Oliver and Felicity are apart the show improves. DOES THAT TELL US ANYTHING!?

Now we only need Curtis on the team. God, he was awesome this whole episode.

Agreed. Hell, let him go full-on Mr. Terrific.

#4.18 "Eleven-Fifty-Nine" Promo

Spoiler

MALCOLM MAKES HIS MOVE – Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) learn that Merlyn (John Barrowman) is going to try to break Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) out of prison. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) gets a surprising offer and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) has a heart-to-heart talk with Curtis (guest star Echo Kellum). Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Keto Shimizu (#AR418). Original airdate 4/6/2016.

Place your fucking bets now, last call.

 

[Chariot]

I call Curtis' boyfriend. Can't have a member on Team Arrow have a happy love life, without involvement in the superhero/villain side.

 

[Neoxon]

I call Felicity's mom.

 

[strafer]

diggle

 

[ZeroX03]

Barry's brain.


Oh

 

[Sölf]

Fun!

Well, okay, I call Felicity's Mom.

 

[Magwik]

Felicity or Laurel. Diggles arc isn't over, especially with his brother still working for HIVE.

Felicity is in the car outside of the graveyard.

Unless she is a clone.

 

[Magwik]

Felicity is in the car outside of the graveyard.

Unless she is a clone.

That was shown after her first death fakeout. It's all a ruse. She was a hallucination.

 

[ZeroX03]

I hate to say it guys, but I think it's time for Chesthair to finally get waxed.

 

[Poodlestrike]

How long have you been sitting on that.

Wait until they flashforward again and they pull back to reveal Shado is driving the limo.

 

[jon bones]

i like that we're talking about this as though the writers have any sort of coherent plan about all this

I call Curtis' boyfriend. Can't have a member on Team Arrow have a happy love life, without involvement in the superhero/villain side.

wonder why Barry would even show up to his funeral though

 

[Volimar]

That was shown after her first death fakeout. It's all a ruse. She was a hallucination.

That's my guess too. It's her or Chesthair.

 

[Chariot]

I don't agree with you, but props. Major props.

wonder why Barry would even show up to his funeral though

Why would he show up for chesthair? Or Diggle? Or Laurel? He is clearly mostly there for Oliver.

 

[The Hobo]

Wait until they flashforward again and they pull back to reveal Shado is driving the limo.

And then another flashforward where the limo is revealed to be KITT from Knight Rider.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

What if Curtis repurposed the bees to form a Felicity?

I would like to lend my support for this idea of a Beelicity.

[Lashley]

The bees can cut through Kevlar but not a wooden door...

 

[Lashley]

And when is Diggle going to use this new mask off Cisco

EDIT: Well, that was awful. Not sure why I still watch.

I don't have your perspective obviously, but yeah. It was dissapoiting. Especially since you could do some interesting drama with it. I mean, Felicity always felt inferior physically considering she's hanging out with peak humans and metas, but add paralys and this switches to whole new gear.

And the chip. What always pissed me off about such moves is that it's lazy worldbuilding. Stuff like the chip or that endless battery should completely change the world. But they won't. it will stay the same. Which is a shame.

This was an awesome thing about Stargate. They've kept the alien tech secret from civilian population, but the whole military was using it heavily, leading to radically different shape of US'a army

 

[KonradLaw]

Her being just a hallucination would actually be pretty damn great twist.

 

[Spiritreaver]

.....I actually liked this episode.

 

[Joni]

The problem is Arrow speeds through everything. I agree it should have been handled better.

At the same time, that speed makes so many CW shows good. Can't be stuck for weeks on such a plotline.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Guys, if it was Felicity's mom, Felicity wouldn't be sitting in the limo, she'd be out there sobbing.

How many times can we say "Beacon of Hope" in one episode?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Was stitched lip man someone in the comics?

 

[Joni]

Was stitched lip man someone in the comics?

He is Murmur. He is a Flash rogue in there.

 

[morningbus]

He is Murmur. He is a Flash rogue in there.

He also made his first appearance in episode 16 of season 3.

 

[Chuckie]

not a terrible episode, Brie Larvin is bae and Curtis is a hoot

Seriously? BEEcause she reminded me off this "eggcellent" character

 

[Rooster12]

The time is ripe for them to introduce Lemire's Count Vertigo. Superpowers and all.

How about introducing Lemire's whole run? It would completely revive the show.

Or, how about just let Lemire write the damn show.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Damn, Roy ain't got shit on Curtis. That flip was insane.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I enjoyed the training sequence a lot, but the rest... I wonder if the show is for me any more.

What clan would Felicity belong to?

 

[Nori Chan]

did i just see oliver's vinegar stroke after the bee exorcism?

 

[RS4-]

Can we replace Smoak with her mom. The true Smoak.

And lol at the end of the ep. Fuck man.

 

[Magwik]

So outside of r/Arrow somehow going even MORE mad, there are set pics from Legends of Tomorrow that seemingly confirm that

Spoiler

Laurel

does indeed bite the dust next week

And they were slowly working in technologies reversed engineered from alien tech into the general public. The hologram projector and giant energy gun for example.
