Arrow || CW

Was a fantastic episode. They keep getting better and better lol.

Personally though the kid who plays Barry Allen would be more suited as Wally West. But he did quite good in his role.

Don't think he is a regular so they will probably give him his powers soon and make him go away like Black Canary. They hinted at it with that chemical scene.

Also Deathstroke surely going to turn into a villain next episode? Oliver mentioned how he had to fight one of those before. And Deathstroke is supposed to have super human strength

Slade trying to battle Oliver because he can't control his feelings anymore, regarding the chinese girl that Oliver slept with, whom Slade loves.
Barry Allen will become Flash next episode? particle accellerator to be launched tomorrow they said in the episode?

I liked the flash kid.

Flash is gonna stay for a while until the Flash TV show is confirmed but it won't be long before they yes to that, his intro was amazing.

I predict we will see Ra's al Ghul in the season finale, Talia al Ghul will come before that

Are they really going to introduce Ra's al Ghul?

If they could Neeson my body would explode tbh. But who could play him?

Will be a poor mans Neeson unless it's Neeson

Jesus himself could play R-A-G and still be inferior.

well they have said his name a few times now, plus the main story is heading towards the League of Assassins, plus his connection with both Black Canary and Merlyn... and the in the latest episode Moira talking about him

Ra's Al Ghul's other daughter.

Arrow is becoming Spartacus ver 2 lol.

Funny thing is Stephen Amell rejected playing Spartacus. and he said he regrets rejecting it.

It was only a matter of time before we began seeing members of the Al Ghul family pop up once it was discovered that Black Canary is a member of the LoS. Doesn't surprise me too much.

I do like the casting of Katrina Law though. She was taken far too early in Spartacus.

I find it surprising because Green Arrow rarely ever encounters the members of Al Ghul family. They are going their own way with this. And it is pretty exciting to see what they do.

I think it's all in part of what they're doing with the character of Oliver Queen himself. The LoS has clearly influenced him, even if he's not aware of it. His fighting style, brutality (earlier in the series), his calculating, cold demeanor...all trademarks of the League...a farcry from how he acted in the comics honestly. The show has been given the Nolan treatment and its the better for it.

Yep, completely agreed.

One aspect of Nolan's movies was that they were grounded in human world, no supernatural things, sooner or later Arrow is gonna have supernatural aspects, so far they haven't but with Barry and Cyrus Gold (aka Solomon Grundy) the supernatural is coming

Precisely. I think the showrunners need to be careful here. Luckily, I don't think we're going to see Allen's transformation into the Flash within the Arrow realm, which is for the best. As you said, the Nolan aspect is firmly rooted in a pure human world so it makes sense to me to develop the human aspects of Barry Allen here in Starling City and then add the superpowers in Central City. The trick with that is to avoid a Smallville 2.0. That will be interesting.

OMG OMG OMG OMG WHAT an Epic Mid-Season Finale for Arrow!!!! Grundy, Death Stroke, Flash!!!! YES YES YES Best TV on Atm

Damn midseason finale can't wait till next episode... Deathstroke, Solomon Grundy, Flash ffs

Well that accelerated rather quickly

Awesome finale to the say the least. Finally great to tie up some lingering questions on the island with the death of Shado. Now I'm curious to see what Slade does to Dr. Ivo in revenge.

*bleep* me. This is becoming more and more like a poor mans batman. Nothing like the actual green arrow

FFs...I'm happy about seeing the flash introduced though.

Best episode yet. This show has elevated to must watch TV.

I like it but it's too much like Batman and too little like the actual Green arrow.

what do you mean by that? Arrow and Batman live in the universe their enemies and allies cross paths

Wow ffs

What an episode



I think Jibers is talking about how it's Nolan-esque. But I love this style.

Arrow started off good, but damn it's sky rocketed in quality since the beginning ffs

Insane episode ffs. Easily the best of the season.

Knew Slade wasn't dead. And now when he finds out that Oliver had a choice to save Shado. That's when i reckon they will fight and Slade get shot in the eye.

Sebastian Blood working for him came out of nowhere though. Also i complete did not realise that freak was Solomon Grundy However he is immortal. Doubt he is dead for good

Flash's creation was well worked. I guess it's still not 'supernatural' since he was exposed to a chemical reaction along with the particle accelerator.

A month break
