Is it just me or does slade come across as an australian young sean connery?

Mr E · 15-02-2013 10:25AM

So they took a blood sample (just one) from Mommy's office, sent the cleaners in straight away to remove the rest, and it had an accident in the lab. Oh if only they had taken another sample as a backup.

I hate lazy writing like that. Otherwise a good episode.

Rovi · 15-02-2013 10:39AM

Crixus is certainly still a handy lad with the swords!

Yes there were a few really annoying lazy writing instances this episode, like Diggle explaining he had some mediacl training when in the army so should be able to patch Oliver up :rolleyes:

I actually just went with that in the Soldier can remove a bullet and stitch if need be it was the Defib that got me in all fairness,
I really liked the amount of flash back in the Ep and cant wait till hes on his travels becoming a bad ass that will be great

ps can we put American pace in the thread title sometimes I have to wait for sky to show it

Don't know if I mentioned it before, but ever notice Ollie seems incapable of turning his head too far? He always seems to turn his whole body if looking at something.

Smashing episode !!!

More Flashbacks please

Frisbee · 15-02-2013 06:30PM

Solid episode, plenty of flashbacks and Crixus even got a swordfight.

Yup, I call that Timothy Olyphant Syndrome.

Richard Dower · 15-02-2013 06:54PM

^ glad yáll enjoyed the episode...got a nice ratings bump, a 1.1 and 3.29m....so 200,000 fanboys tuned in to worship at the altar of Felicity

Mark Hamill · 15-02-2013 08:48PM

I loved the Castaway reference, came out of nowhere

nicklauski · 16-02-2013 04:51PM

Finally caught up with the last 5 episodes.
It's still getting better week by week I feel.
We were all crying out for more island scenes and the one episode where it was predominately set on the island, is they one episode where I wanted to see what was going to happen in Starling City

What I really wanted to see was what would happen with the huge pool of blood left behind when Oliver was shot, only for it to be glossed over in two seconds by Felicity, who is starting to grow on me BTW, and then by Lance

It was all just too easy for them. That's my only gripe.

Richard Dower · 19-02-2013 06:18PM

Is it being shown on Sky?...what episode are they up to?

SirDelboy18 · 20-02-2013 12:34AM

I love Felicity and hate Laurel. That is all.

+1.....I was excited for Katie Cassidy to be on the show, I've seen a lot of her movies/tv shows and she's great. But on Arrow she is a whiney and Judgemental arse.

If you go by hotness Felicity has her beat, Felicity and the actress steals every scene she is in, and they are all brief scenes. she's fun, smart, cute as hell, sassy + WAY better chemistry then his supposed epic love Laurel.

I dunno if its Katie or the scripts but she comes across very badly on the show. Maybe if she turned into Black Canary and kicked butt she might get redeemed

Richard Dower · 20-02-2013 07:34PM

haha!...she knows about Olicity; http://www.tvguide.com/News/Arrow-Emily-Bett-Rickards-Felicity-1061194.aspx

CastorTroy · 21-02-2013 09:43PM

1 minute in: Hey, it's the dude from Battlestar.
20 mins later: Hey it's the girl from Battlestar.

Felicity looking good. And missed golden opportinity for smart Ollie/Diggle remarks.

Will we see the guy from the island again, I wonder.

miralize · 21-02-2013 10:01PM

No one annoys me more on the show than Thea. Laurel has room to improve ... but Thea is just a self-entitled bitch.

Did anyone else find it a little lazy that there was a random new guy found in the flashback?

red dave · 21-02-2013 10:27PM

Yeah I think Thea is the weakest.

Frisbee · 22-02-2013 12:15PM

Thea is starting to wreck my head purely for the way she talks.

There's this weird background noise to her voice like she's constantly talking half through her throat. I didn't hear it at first, but now that I've heard it it's all I can hear every time she has lines and it's killing me!

Its like a 3 step system. It goes through her throat, her teeth and her slightly closed lips... annoying as hell

He'll probably show up in a future episode to get his revenge on Oliver for leaving him in the sh1t, unless of course he was pretending to be a victim when he wasn't, in which case he'll probably still show up in a future episode to do something nasty.

+1....we'll see him again, not a great episode overall. Lovin' Felicity's snark....she looked damn good down nerded. Mommy Arrow wants Dark Archer dead eh?

Callis was pretty good in his brief scenes and Colton....lol, same douchebag he played on Teen Wolf. As for Thea...Willa Holland has ALWAYS annoyed me :mad:

I hated her on The OC and Gossip Girl....she rather trashy in real life, there was some hubbub back in '04 via her Myspace, pics of her with a gun and a bottle of Jack.

2/5

SirDelboy18 · 23-02-2013 12:27AM

It genuinely feels like watching a different show whenever Laurel and Thea are on the screen.

Richard Dower · 27-02-2013 06:27PM

Stephen amell twatting away about tonights ep. ...........

Richard Dower · 28-02-2013 03:25AM

Black Canary!.......:p , ha!...nice little nod there Geoff Johns

Tommy knows!....:eek:
Sarah alive!......:eek:

Malcolm nearly or wanted to reveal to Tommy he was the Dark Archer! + his plan for the city, Mommy Lance drops by and drops and bombshell.

Wtf is going on with the island and Silas?. Deadshot alive but no explanation as to how

... :rolleyes:

Fast paced and pretty action packed ep. - very little of Laurel and zero of Thea!

Loved Diggle training up Felicity

, and Ollie getting annoyed with Felicity's personality quirks

Jeoff Johns did a bang up job despite several plotholes....flippin 3 week break :mad:

Richard, FFS can you not spoiler this stuff or, for courtesy sake, hold off til later tonight before posting like this. I know for me Arrow comes down around 12AM-1AM Wed night but I'm headed to bed at that point and save it for a Thursday night highlight instead. Did you even watch the episode yourself before posting?

Spoliers listed in the title dude, i never go into a thread after a broadcast until ive watched the show

Great episode this week, im honestly surprised how much im enjoying this, although the constant influx of actors from other shows i like might have something to do with it

Yep agreed - Don't know what would possess you to enter a thread after it has broadcast, especially seeing that there is a post made after it has broadcast.

Anyway, enjoyed again. Had expected a swerve with Sarah to free up the Oliver/Laurel relationship to have the ability to progress - so not too surprised there. Lots of good moments and still look forward to this each week

Richard Dower · 28-02-2013 06:07PM

+ I sorta have "form" for this kinda thing...it should be well known by now how I operate. + Arrow is on @ 7pm in Canada.....1am our time.
