Loved the episode. The corpse, the Holt introduction who looks a bit like an Unbreakable Samuel L. Jackson, and the flashbacks are getting fun again. Was mainly impressed with the Machin fight at the end and Oliver versus Thea. Mainly disliked I still don't know who Machin works for.

At one point did that shock weapon staff thing turn into a 3 section nunchuck looking staff thing?

In the middle of the fight with Oliver when he stops and extends it above his head.

Can't hate on Laurel since she is going to give us White Canary.

Indeed.

 

[PreFire]

Cool episode. Anarchy and a corpse that doesn't decompose (yeah she looks skinny and fuck up but come on, she'd be a skeleton by then or at least infested by bugs).. I know, CW probably or who the fuck knows

Seriously, what's up with that? She's been dead for years (I didn't check the date of death) and she still has all her skin and features lol

I guess you can throw anything into the Lazarus pit. No death will be permanent. Of course unless the person who dies begged to not be thrown in the second chance jacuzzi.

The Lazarus Pit only works if the person was dead for less than a year. Otherwise you need extra mystical assistance for the Pit to work. Enter Constantine.

 

[Joni]

She died at the start of season 3, so we can assume one year.

kung fu boy with a tazer.

Green arrow, why?

GA is so nerfed now it's ridiculous

 

[Septimus Prime]

Oh man, what an awesome recovery this show is making! I especially like how Green Arrow doesn't use a voice synthesizer anymore.

Yeah. It's kind of shitty how he can go from beating Raziel Ghul to getting curb stomped by Anarky and needing Speedy to save his ass. I guess a few months of no training and a sedentary lifestyle would do that, though.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Laurel hate is completely justified. She's a hypocritical, manipulative and generally awful human being.

A lot of characters are that way. Oliver being one. Example: Instead of pursuing Malcolm and bringing him to justice for the murder of over 500 innocent people (in the city he swore to protect) Oliver hands him control over an ancient league of assassins.

That is overlooking the entire course of events in season 3 that could have been completely avoided if the characters weren't so completely fucking dumb.

But aside from this instance I'm not going to mention that because this is a new season and as such it is a fresh start. I hope the ridiculous Laurel haters will keep that in mind.

It's so great to be enjoying Arrow again.

No she wouldn't.

So what do you guys think of that new guy that works with Felicity?

 

[BronsonLee]

Ollie lost because he got fat off of his own cooking

So what do you guys think of that new guy that works with Felicity?

I hate Moss!

He forgot his geek squad t-shirt

 

[Joni]

Anarky is also not a real nobody, he clearly has some experience. Oliver on the other hand seemed to be a more passive, like in the first opening fight.

 

[Magwik]

In realty the show just needs Ollie to job so every problem isn't solved immediately.
(And to justify the sidekicks)

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Some random mercenary guy knows who Oliver Queen is but no one in Starling recognizes him under a flimsy hood?

Why do people live in a city that's economically crap and their political leaders die? Reminds me when people ask why people still live in Gotham in the Arkham series.

Well, they aren't. People that need jobs are moving. That leaves the richest and the poorest.

 

[Septimus Prime]

They need someone who will do things in the daylight.

They need...The Flash.

 

[Klyka]

Damian Dahrk is a damn intimidating man. When he talks serious you know he'll fuck you up.

Also,I don't know what it is, but I feel that Arrow's sets and camera movement and that kinda stuff is always ahead of Flash.
Like, Flash has all the effects, yes, but It looks fake in many non CG places and such. As in,I often know they are on a set.
Arrow usually has some really cool looking locations and such. Like that tiny chase scene this time going through that huge theater. That was cool.

I don't know if it's their lighting or something,but it just looks better.

 

[G-Fex]

All I see is bad version of M. Bison minus fighting moves.

 

[raphier]

sometimes I think that this series is approaching post season 5 Dexter with it's convenience and jumping the shark.

Thea, get in the van, we're driving 30 minutes to Nanda Parbat!

This, blows.

Did I miss something, but why does Ollie have no issue with Diggle continuously murdering people by shooting them in the face, but he gets upset when Thea breaks a guys arm?

Is Diggle using magic bullets or something?

Because he loves Diggle.

I burst out laughing every time I see Diggle just plug someone in the face. He don't got no no-kill rule!

Because he loves Diggle.

THE POWER OF LOVE will murder these mooks

The Laurel hate is killing me. Y'all can hate, I'll comfort her.

You know there's something about Thea's face with that mask on.

it's hilarious.

They are all either insane, an assassin, or a a vigilante!

Felicity is technically a vigilante, but really, she is mostly a boring and/or hysterical pseudo-nerd.

I can break these cuffs!

Felicity was bored with Ollie after like 6 months, ain't nobody making her happy

How long till Thea goes full Jason Todd and says screw arrows and pulls out two guns?

Isn't he using rubber bullets or tranq rounds or something? I can't imagine Ollie being okay with lethal regular bullets. Although rubber bullet to the head could easily kill someone ;p.

 

[Tabby]

Laurel sucks

Oh is that a thing again? I like Laurel.

 

[ZeroX03]

Felicity still best girl <3

He uses tranq rounds sometimes at least. I figure he's also pretty good at incapacitating shots but the show doesn't say as far as I know.

 

[Darth Pinche]

It think they are just playing it fast a loose. Remember Ollie threw that guy out of a moving train in the season opener like it was no big whoop.

I am not complaining, I love the ridiculousness of the Arrowverse.

Rewatch the episode, you can very VERY clearly hear that he is not shooting regular bullets, he is shooting tranq rounds or other non lethal stuff.

His gun also doesn't look like a normal gun.


In the scene where they jump from the ceiling window and then engage Anarky you can again hear that Diggle's gun sounds non lethal and you can clearly see a tranq arrow or something similar hit the barrel Anarky is hiding behind.

Shooting somebody in the heart is a great way to incapacitate someone.

They stay that way, too.

Can't hate on Laurel because she's awesome and she fucking kicks ass.

Fixed that for ya!

 

[GulAtiCa]

Laurel best girl tho.

 

[tim1138]

Two episodes in, this season is already way better than last season. The characters are actually likeable again, and I'm thrilled Anarky is getting a multi episode arc, he's a totally underrated character.
