God I am still laughing about Thea buying 80 KILOS of coke for her party because "you know how I roll"
What Arrow will teach us: resurrecting your sister and chaining up her soulless body in the basement is a good thing, because it will work out in the end.
But I liked Lance in this episode, both funny ("just kidding") and emotional (trying to execute Sara, talking to Lisa). I really hope he doesn't die, that would dropping the most interesting characters.
Also wait, Thea recruited some of her facebook followers as interns? I guess his campaign will ride on legalization.

Because NBC sent it out to die and it got bad ratings.
I like it in TV shows where someone lays out that they're been strongarmed into doing shady things and everyone is understanding (if disappointed).
That's why I hate when giant tensions appear in tv shows - more often than not they just chicked out of it very weirdly. Just aim low if you're going to be small anyways.

Up to Ep2.
I'm SHOCKED by how good this is. They greatly improved the action, Thea is -crazy ass- bae, I no longer want to smash Laurel's face and the Diggster got even bigger. Also, Felicity remains hot as always. And bringing Neal McDonough as the main villain was a brilliant decision. That man oozes charisma. I want to see him lost his shit like he did in Justified.
My girlfriend (who could be right along with the rest of the maniacs in this thread) was pretty eh on the previous season but she's also loving it. I'm so glad Arrow night is a thing at Papa's house once again.
I'm ready for ep 3 and 4 now.
PS: Did anybody else notice that Emily Bett Rickards got BUFF AS FUCK during the break? It looks like she hit the gym pretty hard last season, but now she can't even hide dat ass when she's sitting on a chair. Her arms/shoulders also got pretty damn big, and she's been definitely trashing those calf sets.

Laurel takes a down swing in the next two episodes, but everything else stays great.
And all the Arrowverse women have personal trainers, I think they mostly see the same guy. They need to stay fit to fight evil by moonlight.
I forgot he was bannedIf only AdrianWerner could be unbanned for a day just for this episode. Rest in pieces you Constantine loving maniac.
Someone should just pick it up. It was great fun.
He kept getting consistently banned. Wish he knew when to pick his battles.I forgot he was banned
And apparently this episode had the Lexi hype.Seriously? This is the take they went with?
He had to at the time.
So yeah, Matt Ryan and David Hayter in the Arrowverse. Jesus.

What's wrong with that? What woman doesn't buy her entire body weight (and then some) in cocaine from time to time?

Consider this though, Batman infinitely better than Green Arrow doesn't exactly route police when they are at odds.
Though the flux of power levels in this and Flash really need some oversight.
Pretty much. Like seriously, some random cops are as good as a dude who has trained for 5 years to be the Arrow, has had several years fighting as the Arrow where he beat Malcolm Merlyn, Slade Wilson, The Flash, and subdued the Reverse Flash, a man who later became a member of the League of Assassins and received further personal training from Ra's Al Ghul and then beat said Ra's; that man gets surprised stabbed by a regular SWAT type cop.
Right...
You can't expect consistency in these types of shows otherwise every Flash episode would be over in a minute.

In their defense, Baraka Cop was trained to deal with vigilantes, she got the drop on Ollie, and Ollie fucking sucks and is losing to everyone this season
Felicity's omelets have been POISONING HIM

I know I'm late, but I just had to do it.
Even in the third season, I thought it was ridiculous when they had a scene of her 'barely' doing 5 situps. No one can have that body and also be out of shape.
Also I just want to say that I've always hated the Cinematography on Arrow, I feel like Flash has found this style that really works and takes advantage of the sunny/daytime theme that Central City has going for it. I've never felt like Arrow appropriately uses it's night time theme along with it's general mediocre TV style of shooting and framing.
Step your game up CW.

Honestly its hard to get consistency in any medium.
Flash's speed should be measurable but other stuff it just doesn't work, especially with crossovers.
Ollie taking Reverse Flash on reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYdaAnqk-8 from Justice League.
Batman one shots freaking Sinestro with a batarang.
I know I'm late, but I just had to do it.

Yep, theres no buildings anymore on Arrow, people fight in that warehouse, that one alley, that long road and thats it, the interiors are always this boring buildings with blue tones on the wall like a cheap motel trying to be classy.
Let's also not forget that her local drug dealer some how has the access to make arrangements for the shipment of KILOS of coke and is able to set it all up in a few hours. Anybody else miss the time when Diggle just went in and bout an ounce of whatever local drug it was because he was black? It made sense and allowed for some perfect comedy "person of color has successfully purchased your drugs."
You see that right there, that is comedy not Felicity shenanigan #205.

Now why would Barry care about Captain Lance's funeral, though? Have they ever met?

Arrow better than the Flash this week? Whaaaaaaat.
Flash had me legit shook with its ending though.

Why would that matter if he knows him or not?
It makes me wonder where the budget for the show is going, did the actors suddenly take up a major chunk of the budget?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Because Barry is friends with Team Arrow and it is trivial for him to get there.
I'm pretty sure they met last season and him and Joe worked together. And they can still become buds heaps of time left in both shows.
I think people are forgetting that he's met Barry a couple of times including the first time Oliver and Co. met him when he was working on the Mirikuru case.

That Miranda rights quip made me eyeroll. Shit like that is such a huge peeve of mine.
The Oliver/Lance scene was great though.

Doesn't that describe everything on NBC at this point?
Not surprising. Arrow was legit good. Flash was mediocre propped up by a great gimmick moment, which they quickly ruined.
It's the CW. Everything except the actors pay gets slashed each season. By the time they reach season 5 they'll be reduced to rummaging through couch cushions and pan handling for their budget.
They missed a golden opportunity to have the cops legit trying to kill Diggle while they treat the crazy ass white people with kid gloves.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Just got around to watching this episode. Some quick thoughts
- Rutina Wesley played Lady Cop in this episode, Tara from True Blood and more recently, Reba in Hannibal. Super strang timing because Flash had a guy from S1 of Hannibal last night. She was the best actress on True Blood, so it's good to see her again.
- New lair, cool to see. Although it was weird to have them talk about biometric security for their costume chambers...you're just protecting your leather fetishes not the Iron Man suit.
- So Thea was buying 80 kilos of coke back in the day? Lol wow
- Captain Lance stretching those acting chops. He had several great scenes here
Pretty good episode. Can't wait for next week

Oh jeez you're right. I completely forgot about season 2... which considering that's where Barry's Flash origin appeared, I feel bad about forgetting @_@

I just noticed it on Shomi last night, for anyone in Canada or somehow has access to that service.
Fair warning, it's not a very good show.
Matt Ryan is *perfect* as Constantine, but the show they gave him was pretty pants.
