Arrow [The CW] [ Spoilers ]

Richard Dower · 25-04-2013 10:07pm

Very solid episode last night, lots going on....Diggle quits, Tommy quits Laurel, Yao Fei quits his daughter. Good on Tommy for realising both Oliver and Laurel are still in love....drop kick that hussy to the curb!

Anyne notice Katie Cassidy looking a bit chubby under the neck?...Roy Harper turning into Speedy + Wonder Twins refrence. Think Ollie made a bad move choosing yer man over Deadshot.

Next week....Felicity!

"it feels really good having you inside my ear" ......oh matron! :eek:

Good season so far, any idea how many series they can squeeze out of this?

Richard Dower · 02-05-2013 2:23am

Felicity - it feels really good having you inside me = :eek:

:P

LOL!....haha!, jesus tht was funny and rather naughty!, the promo totally had an outtake as they had Felicity say something totally different in the promo!

Deffo one one the best eps. of the season, the flashbacks were pretty good as well. I wonder did Moira know it was Frank who planted the bomb when she ratted him out to Malcom?....who in turn went all Dark archer on him?

Glad they found and rescued Walter, good character to have around. felicity was all round excellent in this ep. + she got the most screen time ever, never tire of her :P

So Ollie knows Mommy Arrow is in cahoots with Malcolm + the device is on its way to the Glades, Tommy tells Laurel how it is....but i am soooo meh on those two.

I'd prefer Ollie with anyone expect Laurel, prefrence = Felicity, but anyone will do. 3 left to go.....:)

Richard Dower · 09-05-2013 5:26am

Predicted this all season, but 100% confirmed now....Tommy becomes the new Dark Archer, it's Spiderman/Harry Osborne all over again.....:rolleyes:

Its such a darn cliche! :rolleyes: i expected more from the producers, when Oliver asked what Tommy did and he said he worked closely with his father, Tommy seeing Laurel and Oliver porking....the promo for the season finale, Tommy finds the Dark Archer's lair....pretty obvious Malcolm gets killed at the hands of Oliver.

He takes over Queen Industries and trains up to avenge his fathers death etc.
As for the ep. - pretty solid stuff, i was :eek: at the

killing of Yuo Fei

and Malcolm discovering the identity of Arrow.

Felicity was awesome as usual, hope she dosent get into trouble for the hacking next week! :eek:

Roy is on his Speedy trajectory, wonder if Moira gets killed + if SHE is the one pulling Fryers strings on the island?

We saw a womans legs....gotta be her right?, great season overall - its fluff but good fluff

Just have no interest in it anymore. Find its not good anymore

Its not difficult to use the spoilers tag. Also it's a place for discussion as well. Do you suggest we make multiple threads to talk about the episode & the show in general.

Actually would be a cool idea.

It is a place for discussion but naturally that discussion would lead into plot points and revelations, unless it's just comments like how well Felicity is looking lately.

I've started watching it again after all the buzz, gave up early on as I found the characters a bit boring, enjoying it now though.

Their technobabble does annoy me though, this week's offence was the teraflop of data. That's a measure of performance, not capacity you fools.

SherlockWatson · 09-05-2013 6:32pm

What annoys me was he left his grapple gun arrow swinging in merlyn's elevator shaft with his fingerprints all over it.

When I saw that I thought forward to a couple of years later when someone's in there doing some maintenance and think WTF.

Its his hunch I imagine, and I reckon that is the way they are going. Now that Merlin knows Oliver is the Arrow he can't survive another season. I don't think Tommy will just accept Oliver killing his dad!

be fair to me, i did spoiler tag a major event in the episode...and the rest was speculation based on what i saw in the season, the latest episode...and the finlae promo.

Granted i shouldnt have mentioned a scene in the promo, but i used it to backup my theory/specualtion....and the other poster shouldnt have called you a twat.

To be fair, you should've spoilered the mention of the promo for next week because a lot of people choose not to watch them to avoid spoilers. True, Tommy's going down a dark path but you could've said that without referring to next week's episode at all.

It's the same reason I get annoyed at things like headlines/posts saying how someone is to become a series regular next season(for any show), as that means they're safe for the season finale.
Or when a news story states someone from a series is cast in another series, which usually means their character will be written out of their current series. These announcements should always be preempted with "Spoilers for major character from..." and whatever their current series is.
Or, as I've seen in reviews for Game of Thrones that claim they won't be spoiling the books, when they make reference to a character as they are in the fifth book. Means they survive that long.

squonk · 10-05-2013 1:11pm

Richard does this a lot. I could have watched Arrow Wednsday night as it came down onto my system just as i was about to hit the hay. I don't get the whole 'has to be first to comment on an item with spoilers' thing. I know this thread is a **SPOILERS** thread but there has to be some level of common sense. If I come on next week at 3AM and post "Yup, as suspected, Malcolm dies and Tommy goes into Revenge Mode, plus Laurel quits the public defenders office and opens a stall selling lemonade and cakes in the reception area of Merlin Industries", then I rightly deserve a kicking because 95% of people haven't had a chance to see the show yet. I think spoiler tags should be used for the first 24 hours after a show has become available.

I'm sorry I don't buy this, just don't come into the thread once you know it has aired, they are always available around 4am-ish and I never go into any spoiler thread once I know the show has aired,there is no need. Watch it and then enter the thread.

CastorTroy · 10-05-2013 1:44pm

Yeah, I stay out of the thread between the time it aired and the time I see it. I think the main problem here is posting about next week's show based on the promo that some people choose not to watch.

To summarise, my understanding of this thread is to:
- Post spoilers of upcoming episodes/plotlines/characters in spoiler tags. This includes links to news stories as direct links usually have the spoiler in the address and mentions of things like "Woohoo, Huntress is back next week".
- Talk about any episodes that have aired without the need for spoiler tags. maybe even update the thread title to say **Spoilers for latest episode**

I think spoiler tags should be preceded by what the spoiler is in relation to so people can choose to see if they want to.

Another type of spoiler I'm not a fan of, which happened in the Nikita thread was people trying to guess who the upcoming major character death would be. I'd prefer not to know a major character is going to die since that means you're sitting watching the episode waiting for a death rather than getting a shock when a main character dies.

Ye that part is true,there should be no hints of anything to come based on promos, some people don't like to watch them,but anything about the episode just aired is fair game.

ScrubsfanChris · 12-05-2013 9:29pm

Preview for the final episode, **Spoilers Galore** :P

CastorTroy · 12-05-2013 11:39pm

One thing that got me about the episode is how Diggle got a job in security pretty much right away. No vetting done? Sure Felicity could've hacked in and placed his name as starting that day, but wasn't the whole point of breaking in because of her not being ble to hack their system.

thats is ****ing spoiler, the rules clearly state you are free to talk about an episode that has aired, not future material that has not yet aired, richard stated in his first line that it was 100% guaranteed therefore its a future spoiler which should have a spoiler tag covering it,

from the charter
Just to be completely clear on the use of spoilers:
- If a thread title has the word "Spoilers" in it, then it is OK to discuss the most recent episode (or older) without using [ spoiler ] tags.
- If you have news about a future episode (from spoilerfix, ausiello etc.), then most people don't want to know (no, really - they prefer to be surprised by major plot developments and twists).
- If you feel it should be posted anyway, please use [ spoiler ] tags (to give people the option of reading them or not). Also contextualise the spoiler by saying what it's about outside of the spoiler tag (Spoiler about Season Finale, Spoiler about Character Exit, etc.)
- Links to interviews, show news etc. are OK (people can decide on whether or not to click them).
- Posting Youtube clips of "next episode" promos is also OK in the TV forum (people can decide whether or not to watch them).
- Bear in mind that some show-specific forums in the TV category have their own rules about where promo clips can be posted. Please check their charter if you are not sure.

Just use spoiler tags, its not that hard.

Didn't see that coming.

Ok, that was

awesome

Thoroughly enjoyed that episode.

stephen97 · 16-05-2013 3:59am

ok so tommy gets impaled and looks like he is dead, laurels dad turns off the device but earthquake goes ahead because of a second device, and oliver finally has the better of mr merlin

SirDelboy18 · 16-05-2013 4:13am

That was a brilliant finale.

VinLieger · 16-05-2013 10:50am

Great finale to a great new series, bring on season 2

tvnutz · 16-05-2013 12:57pm

That was an excellent finale. Didn't see a few things coming, didn't think they would have the balls to actually have a 2nd device and level half the glades. Also I did think Tommy would become the new bad guy,like Harry Osbourne in Spiderman but instead he dies saving Laurel, probably a better way to go than making him the bad guy.

Really exciting and excellent finale!

Sarn · 16-05-2013 9:09pm

If episode has aired in the US there is no need for spoiler tags

Now that was an excellent season finale.

CastorTroy · 16-05-2013 9:49pm

Well that was a great finale. Not much holding back. Wonder where they'll go next season, in the city and the island.

Does Shado remind anyone else of Jordana Brewster?

If you're discussing it within minutes of it being released its common decency to use spoiler tags, it only takes about 5 seconds max to do.

squonk · 17-05-2013 1:02pm

It was a good episode but a glaring thought leapt out at me midway through when Tommy meets up with Malcolm. The whole Earthquake plot is just plain, downright stupid. I get that Tommy's mother died in the glades as the result of a violent mugging. Fair enough. Then you have Malcolm who could decide a. lets use my dark archer abilities to beat crime from the glades one thug at a time, b. lets use some of my vast fortune to help provide a very decent and effective policing service in the glades so it doesn't happen agarin.... Ah no, fúck it, let's just hatch an elaborate 5 year plan requiring all sorts of maneouvering to destroy the glades via some earthquake generating devices. Let's also make sure there's plenty of time and opportunity for others to possibly thwart that plan as well. Seriously! Come on! This, more than anything else, has just detracted from the show for me. It ties in with the stupid escapes the main characters have had over the season where baddies are ruthless apparently but none too bright. At the end, my thoughts were "Yeah, great action packed episode" but I also thought back 7 months to Episode 1 and how much more excited I was about the show then. Somewhere along the line, stupidity set in. Judging by the overall plot, it was actually there all along, just hiding in the long grass.

I dont know what time exactly the show is on. It could have been a comment about the upcoming episode ,from a fans perspetive. I dont know. Again, its not difficult to use the spoilers tag.

Well then you should find out when it airs. Problem solved. Spoiler tags should never be used in a thread once the episode has aired when the thread title included the word "SPOILERS" with the exception being discussing future episodes.

Give it a break. If thats the case, there should be no need for the spoilers functionality.... Can we get back to talking about the actual show?

don ramo · 17-05-2013 7:04pm

its a simple rule if you have seen the episode your free to talk about, if others are behind then they should not come to the thread, simple as that,

most US shows air over there between 8-11 at night which is 1-4 our time, so a general rule to follow is dont come near the thread after midnight,

CastorTroy · 18-05-2013 1:46am

Well it's done for the season now so not much point discussing spoilers now.
