Can you blame them? It's like 30min of Felicity and, like, 5 of Arrow.

If you're gonna complain you might as well know what you're talking about
Then maybe go watch something else? No offense, but the whole year, you been non-stop complaining and bitching about this show. I seriously don't know why you still watch. You clearly hate it with a passion.
I'm not trying to say you shouldn't watch or shouldn't post here. Just don't understand why you still try to participate in a show you hate so much.

Eh, not really. If you've seen season 3 you already know.
As I said before, I'm committed to watching this ship sink.
With this show it is to the point where I just watch out of habit now. There are enjoyable moments, but overall I'm meh on this show now. With the number of episodes Arrow produce they should be doing more in terms of side stories for the other characters.
Why is the black canary a sidekick? Let her do her own thing like she was in previous seasons and have it intertwine with the main plot sometimes.
Lyla is in charge of Argus now so that should give Diggle much to do in terms of developing plot for him outside of his brother.

Good joke.
Well you don't have the week to week tension, it's just one big dump. The week to week discussion is obviously going to be much more entertaining.

THe hand looked terrible. At least League had modernized costumes and moved like proper badasses. The Hand had silly ninjas costume and they've moved like they were from ultra cheap 80s action movie. When they were running with those tiny steps, holding those tiny swords. It looked like a children running to Halloween party, not an army of assassins.
League looks cooler, is more competent and had a lot better characters as their members. Plus what they did at least made some sense, instead of whatever the hell the Hand was doing in S2 of DD.

Literally everything is better than Arrow is for the most part lately.
Even awful SHIELD since it doesn't have a character as insultingly bad as Felicity.

The League was great and threatening in season 1/2, they quickly became redshirt jokes after that. I haven't finished all of DDS2 yet but while Hand is the worst part of the season they're still better than what the League eventually sunk too.

That's a code for "I'm Olicity shipper and I'm just ashamed to admit it"?
You promised not to say anything
Not that the Hand isn't a bunch of jobbers too, but the League has never been a threat no matter how many times the show tells you to believe they are.
The fight with Ra's in The Climb is probably one of the show's best though, mostly for how effortlessly he destroys Ollie. Shame about the rematch...

The Bachelor is better than this.
This show is on some Real Housewives level now.

All of which is explained adequately within the show. The running was so they could mask their movements, it's unreasonable to expect all these people can run full sprint and sneak up on people. The swords were smaller intentionally (all though most of them were using normal sized swords, these are Ninja's not Guts from Berserk here), and if you remember one of the more important scenes with
Elektra in Matt's apartment, we discover that The Hand was brainwashing legitimate kids--or at least teens--to act as their foot soldiers

I'm reading this thread right now with the same face I had when Felicity got up out of her wheelchair and miraculous walked out of Oliver's life.

As long as we agree DD is superior in every way we're fine
Just finished the third episode of Supergirl.
My buddy at work was telling me how bad it is, "even worse than Arrow." The pilot was definitely bad, but I've enjoyed the last two episodes just fine. Certainly more enjoyable to watch than current Arrow if you ask me. Like, at least they're trying to put thought and care into what's going on. I'm definitely down to keep watching.

Supergirl is billions better than Arrow.
Good or bad? I've heard episode 7 mentioned before.

Okay: Theory on this:
- There being two Black Canaries was a concession to the Post-Crisis timeline. Before that, there was just Dinah Drake-Lance, who crossed from Earth 2 to Earth 1 and started hanging with Green Arrow after the death of her husband, Detective Larry Lance.
- Dinah Drake's thing was pretending to be a villain to infiltrate criminal organizations and take them down from the inside out.
With that in mind, I'm thinking this isn't Laurel- it's Dinah Drake, her mother, who is younger on Earth 2. She's an ally of the man in the mask (*cough* Real Jay *cough*) who is infiltrating Zoom's gang of Metahumans in order to save her friend. She could become stranded on Earth 1 afterwards.

It's the point where the series finds its voice and gets Flash-tier.
Very good.
Whoa there. I'll believe that when I see it.

The villain isn't nearly on par with Reverse Flash, but there's a certain ally who makes up for it. Also, romantic drama is handled much more maturely than on any CW series.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I was tempted to do a Felicity joke with this one, but figured you guys have been triggered enough. Here's the schedule for the rest of the season:
Flash and Arrow sync back up on their 19th episodes.

Added to the first post.
Guggenheim censored the photo and we won't know the title until after episode 18 thanks to the break. But as people are guessing and Canadagraphs said leaked, it looks like "

We can't. Even as bad as Arrow can get there are still ways in which it's superior to DD, like:
Hotter women
Music
Lead superhero's hairline
Outside of Ra's, Nyssa, Maseo, Sara and Malcolm who have kicked major ass all throughout the show. It is conversation of ninjutsu: the more nameless mooks, the quicker they fall. They had two heroes on one League ninja fights at the start. It is the problem of rising threats. The scales always have to escalate and the hero always has to be better. At least it didn't start with Oliver wiping out half the league just by burning one building.

But who would win in a fight? DD or Felicity's bitch?
My money is on this cool guy

Even Curtis would flip that guy to the floor.
I just haven't really found Dahrk or Hive threatening in this season and its a bit disappointing. I mentioned it before but I just didn't get the feel if the city really being under siege and Dahrk is an undeniably fun villain but I don't think he works as a legitimate threat, the ghosts were okay at first but goons are goons. The league content was just bad to be honest. I love Barrowman but his presence us an annoyance at this point. I actually would've welcomed more campaign manager romance and time with baby Diggle just for something a little different.

Dude flips. Sorry, but there's only one flipmaster in superhero tvverse. Matt ain't got shit on Roy Harper

No offense to Daredevil but this shows incarnation of Oliver would beat the shit out of him.

Let's marvel at Felicity's view from her office.
Set designers/builders were like fuck perspective and whoever invented it.

They're probably just high-end displays that Felicity invented in her spare time. Revolutionizing OLED technology should be trivial for her.

Padawan for now. We need to see if he can employ those sick moves in combat.
You know how big DC universe is on legacy. Terrific can be to Roy what Nightwing is to Batman.
The biggest fight of his life. That was one dangerous bee. A lot stronger than any Ninja.

I feel like the league is cooler simply because ninjas are lame but hassan's hassassins are like super duper cool.
There was that one cool guy in season 1 I think from the league that caught the arrow and had a creepy awesome smile, if they'd kept that up they could have been real badass.
But real talk, typical stlye ninjas are and will always be super lame. And assassins will always be cool.
1) Not even remotely, as, by far, the two hottest chicks in their respective series Electra >>>>>>> Nysa >>>>>>>> Everyone else.
2) Radioactive
3) ... You've got a point there, his hairline did really bug me.
