Meh, this show has slowly gotten worse this season, in episode 15 how stupid do those guys on the boat need to be to fall for the 'trap', oh look a big bonfire on the beach with the arrow just standing there waiting for us, how handy. Oh look he fell over a branch. Feck sake:pac:

That Sara Lance is so damn horrible to watch as a character, please go back to pretending your dead Sara.

This weeks episode why exactly does deadshot want to die all of a sudden in the basement?

Diggle: You don't get to die this way deadshot.
Deadshot: Give me one good reason why not.
Diggle: You know Zoey right, the daughter your mad about.
Deadshot: Right yeah, forgot about her with all this excitement, lets go.

Gotta love the drones miniature explosion that would have a hard time knocking a garden shed over let alone an entire building and it's reinforced concrete bunker. Great production values.

Could not disagree more..
They've made very annoying characters in S1 (Thea, Laurel) more watchable and added a fantastic Villain in Deathstroke who they were building from S1.

Not to mention adding the Suicide Squad and Red Arrow. When you compare this to Agents of shield its a master piece.

and the fact it didnt shoot till it was literally 10 foot from the chip, so it would have had to work its way through a huge mansion and a few tonnes of reinforced concrete before it would eventually fire its missile, and why do you even need a gps chip, its a big **** off mansion, kinda hard to miss,

yeah dont really like either lance sister, sara has that annoying kinda childish accent that minka kelly from friday night lights has, and well laurel where to even start, just completely pointless character,

GottaGetGatt · 23-03-2014 1:13am

As long as that ejet Roy Harper doesn't do any stupid unnecessary flips off walls,then it's a good episode

norrie rugger · 25-03-2014 10:41am

Oh sweet Jebus, please please please allow the casting of Harley Quinn continue and most definitely allow these her continue to voice/play her.

Mmmmmm Tara Stong I always knew that there was something about Teen Titans that was awesome

Antar Bolaeisk · 25-03-2014 11:17am

So what's happened to Summer Glau and John Barrowman, are they coming back at all?

I really hate stupid thoughtless stuff like that. It was also pretty bad when the drone was chasing the van and practically flying along beside it at one point. And, when it fired the missile, they had plenty of time to dig out the tracker and throw it out the back.

I know the show isn't very grounded in reality to begin with, but there's no need to be stupid about things. It was a pretty decent episode other than that I thought.

Yeah it was just someone's stupid idea of tension.
The drone should have been shown miles away getting into firing range, not flying at street level and shooting a firework from 10 metres back

squonk · 25-03-2014 1:32pm

It's always what's let Arrow down. Generally great build ups but tension/escapes rely on very stupid baddies or very stupid setups. That's my main gripe with the show.

EoinMcLovin · 27-03-2014 1:41pm

Alright episode , more of a filler but great cliffhanger. promo for next weeks episode

jenjenten · 27-03-2014 4:14pm

"In roman times, a criminal was branded to identify his crimes to the world and to forever remind him of what he'd done..."

Oh Crixus, you sly dog you. Oliver Queen aint no Spartacus! :P

norrie rugger · 28-03-2014 12:23pm

Did Laurel (Katie Cassidy) get that god awful chin implant removed??

Last episode she was shown to be unable to fight yet in season 1 she was shown to be fairly handy in a scrap (in the club)

I don't think see ever had one.. Its was probably just makeup.

squonk · 28-03-2014 3:05pm

It's nice to see they are finally going in a direction where they might be able to do something useful with Laurel. I really don't buy that she was standing right beside Black Canary during the rescue effort and didn't even twig that it was Sarah! Defies belief to be honest.

yeah, especially as the arrow popped up within days of olivers return and the n within weeks of her sister being alive, suddenly the arrow has a blonde sidekick, and also the arrows beard is very like oliver queens was, and lance still doesnt know oliver is arrow even though he knows what his daughter is doing and shes dating oliver, and he suspected oliver last year,

but i can look past it for the sake of it i suppose:)

it's DC lads. Clark Kent anyone

Yeah I think that is the case. Lance is sometimes looking directly at the arrow when he's talking to him.

They'll probably have a big, heartfelt reveal at some point which will be flattened by Lance's "I know" response.

StaticAge11 · 03-04-2014 9:07am

Seriously what the hell with all these breaks?! Really takes me out of the show's flow!

TheGoldenAges · 03-04-2014 12:22pm

That episode was fcuking insane, 10/10

Prediction:

We got a brief flashback of Malcolm Merlin this week so I think he'll have a role to play before this season ends. With Thea being his daughter and all, I think he and Oliver will have a brief truce and become allies to take down Slade before becoming nemesis' again.

EoinMcLovin · 03-04-2014 2:06pm

Fantastic episode with plenty of twists and a great fight scene, plus THAT cliffhanger.
Pity we have to wait two weeks for the next episode as it looks like its going to be great

PS. Danielle Panabaker and Carlos Valdes from the Flash pilot will be appearing in this episode.

tvnutz · 03-04-2014 6:18pm

Great episode. Can't wait to see how the season plays out.

Sudden Valley · 03-04-2014 8:08pm

so many great things about that episode. Great fight scenes, slade wilson was bossing every scene he was in and they finally show the point of Summer Glau. Just love the original team talking at the end just oliver, felicity and Diggle.

GottaGetGatt · 03-04-2014 8:28pm

Slade Wilson dropping bombshells all over the shop and then leaving like a boss:D

EoinMcLovin · 03-04-2014 9:11pm

SPOILER

Isabel could be Ravager AKA Rose Wilson

CastorTroy · 04-04-2014 12:04am

Seemed to be implying Ollie's dad did something. Doubt CW would allow her to be his half sister.

Kirby · 04-04-2014 2:49am

That was rather good.

Walt Grace · 04-04-2014 4:17pm

Really good episode this week. Any episode with some Deathstroke is good in my book!
Looking forward to how the rest of the season will play out. And that final confrontation between Arrow and Deathstroke should be all kinds of epic!

Still cant stand Sarah though (hope she gets killed off

)

Agreed. I would also like Laurel to die a horrible death.

pah · 24-04-2014 3:56am

Hoe-ly Crap! Didn't see that coming

SherlockWatson · 24-04-2014 6:05am

Jesus, that was brilliant stuff.

Kirby · 24-04-2014 6:49am

Great. As if Thea wasn't already insufferable enough. Now we are going to have to sit through 6-8 episodes of angsty grief.

Mr E · 24-04-2014 8:44am

Yikes.

TheGoldenAges · 24-04-2014 8:55am

Wow, what an episode. That took balls from the writers

Agent Coulson · 24-04-2014 10:56am

:eek:

EoinMcLovin · 24-04-2014 12:10pm

Did not see that coming. Could the

baby be Conor Hawke ?

But based on the shows timeline he would only be 6 or 7 at this stage?

ScrubsfanChris · 24-04-2014 1:56pm

I really thought the writers had chickened out when Slade put the gun back in is coat pocket............ then

Thank god Sarah is gone, she added nothing to the show in the present timeline and was actually more of a distraction. No doubt she'll be back after blaming herself for Ollie and family getting taken :rolleyes:

With Merlin mentioned, maybe he'll be back before the end of the season. Hard to see how he would fit into the story at this stage though?

Edit:

Malcolm Merlin will be back for last 2 episodes

Only 3 left to go.....!

tvnutz · 24-04-2014 2:01pm

Wow, some episode. Wasn't expecting that at all! Although, all the signs were there throughout the episode, Moira saying she knew Oliver was the Arrow and she was proud of him, all the flashback stuff of her looking after him.

More of an impact than Tommy's death anyway

StaticAge11 wrote: »

Yeah that's the thing but they probably won't introduce him for another season or two and the TV show isn't really following the comics e.g Sara and Thea never existed in comics

Antar Bolaeisk · 24-04-2014 4:53pm

I'd imagine she's gone to fetch Malcolm, presumably they met in the League of Assassins.

Excellent episode again, can't wait for the final few.

CastorTroy · 24-04-2014 6:03pm

I'm assuming she'd still be alive if she had withdrawn. And that she was about to tell them Merlyn was still alive.

Really wish Ollie would just tell Thea the truth to shut her up and then they won't have to keep anything from her that she could complain about.

And did I ever say I really like the Canary outfit? :pac:

JP Liz V1 · 24-04-2014 8:20pm

Holy f*ck but wish Thea died instead of Moira

Malcolm back now to team up with Ollie/Arrow to kill Slade please
