Arrow

I wonder if Sarah will end up being Black Canary because Laurel is just dull. D-U-L-L. Her stunt double was broader than her, so her fighting scenes weren't believable at all.

Does Kelly Hu drink vampire blood? She does not age.

Everyone is going to know his secret soon enough, but I think people knew it was him in the comics & they definitely knew on Smallville in the final season. The only drawback is the fact that Green Arrow has killed a lot of people. No way he wouldn't go to jail.

I really like this show, but it would be tons better if they rid themselves of the Lance family. Neither Laurel nor her dad add really anything to the show. I don't buy that Oliver is still pining for her. Not when he's gotten into 2 semi-serious relationships so far this season. They've positioned Felicity as something more than IT support. She challenges him. She lightens him. She makes sense for someone long term for him. Not Laurel, who is barely in his orbit, doesn't share his secret and is currently sleeping with his best friend. Ugh...kill it with fire!

I'm not sure why TPTB are still trying to hold on to the Dinah/Black Canary storyline when it's obvious to even the fans that the character & relationship are barely treading water at this point. I'm sure Katie Cassidy is a fine person, but at some point, TPTB is going to have decide what works and what doesn't for S2. She needs to go. That family needs to go. Keep the stories focused on Oliver & his mission and we'll be good to go.

I actually like Katie Cassidy as an actress and am also wondering what the hell TPTB are doing with her on Arrow. I like the show for the most part, but I sometimes feel like it's two different shows going on at the same time (and that's not just the flashbacks talking.) There are too many characters on right now and definitely too many romances for Oliver.

After last night's episode, I want this triangle finished. Oliver is at his worst where Laurel is concerned. He betrayed Diggle, knowing this was their best shot at getting Deadshot. Diggle could have been killed. Agents were killed because Oliver was off making sure Laurel was safe. Well...guess what, she wasn't safe because the killer was bound & determined to kill the boy anyway.

He betrayed Tommy by acting more like Laurel's boyfriend, than her friend. He knows he'll never tell her the truth about the Hood, but that didn't stop him from wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Laurel, for her part, was just as bad. She never should have agreed to lunch with Oliver or moving into the mansion knowing she hadn't squashed her feelings for him or the Hood. Forget about the fact that Tommy was right there, protecting the kid, giving the boy hope for the future. All she saw once she stepped foot in the mansion was Ollie and that wasn't fair to Tommy. I seriously cheered when he walked out on her.

3 episodes to go. I hope they don't dwell too much on this triangle. I want to know what is going on with the Undertaking and how Oliver is going to take down Malcolm. A task, which became a wee bit harder, now that Diggle has left the team.

I only saw bits and pieces of this last night, but yeah, I was sad to see they seem to be trying to make Ollie and Laurel a thing again. Also, I like Island Ollie way better than Current Ollie- even if Island Ollie could be a sniveling twerp at times. (He's seems to have gotten over that for the most part)

Shirtless!Diggle for the win!! More of that, please! It was around the time he put his tank top back on that my attention waned.

The sad thing is that I LIKE Tommy and I know they are setting him up to go dark and I hate that. Diggle is awesome and Ollie should've stuck by him. Felicity continues to be the best thing on this show. And man, for someone stuck on a island for 5 years, Ollie sure got a ton of action.

[Witchie]

I did appreciate shirtless Diggle & near naked Oliver all in the span of 8 mins. Kudos to this show for giving the ladies an eyeful.

I like Tommy too. I really do not want him to turn dark. His dad is doing a bang-up job all on his own. Don't need Tommy to go the same route.

I love Felicity so freaking much. She's just great.

Why did Katie Cassidy pluck the ever-loving shit out of her eyebrows? Yes, I know, I got issues with eyebrows.

(Bitch brows, OTOH, are awesome!)

[Mugsy]

I don't blame Oliver for being a snivelling twerp on the island. He's shipwrecked there, finds other people, but instead of a rescue he's caught up in some weird power struggle/war and constantly fighting for his life. It's a lot for a former pampered brat.

I don't care for the triangle either. In this case it's just icky for Laurel to go back and forth between two best friends. And really, I like Laurel well enough, but Felicity is awesome.

The silliness of the kid not having anyone, really? Typical TV writing - an only child, no aunts or uncles, one conveniently halfway-around-the-world set of grandparents, no friends of the parents, no one who the poor kid could have around for comfort or guardianship? No one lives like that.

[Witchie]

Going to gush about the fight coordination on Arrow. OMFG! Totally awesome.

Felicity! Love her. I can't imagine what this show would be like without her. I loved her final scene with the family. Oliver and Walter calling her friend. Yay! Definitely think it was foreshadowing for later.

The pre-island flashbacks were cringe-worthy for the bad hair, but they filled in a whole lot of holes.

The next 2 eps are going to be fantastic. I may have to do a rewatch the earlier eps that I missed because this series definitely improved midway though the season.
