Ted Grant should be a little older. I'm not saying give Laurel another father figure but they should have cast someone that looked like they had a little more worldly experience. I also like the fact that he'll probably be more of an MMA fighter than just a straight up boxer. Good focus on Diggle, I can only assume

Thought this episode was a C at best. It felt very filler-y and suffered from some really shoddy dialogue. I think a lot of pressure is gonna hang on next weeks episode. The intro of Captain Cold and how the writers introduce him has a lot of pressure on it. It's the beginning of The Rogues and those villains are

Of the 'Al Ghul Girls' (seriously, think Gilmore Girls but more murder and sarcasm. I'd watch the hell out of that), Nyssa never really wanted the heritage the Al Ghul name brings so Sara's death is a decent explanation for her leaving The League and her father. I think Nyssa could be a real wildcard this season but I

Merlyn kills Sara, who was in town to kill/change the minds of the 3 guys for The League. Komodo is probably connected to Merlyn or his hired fall-guy and then undertakes the job to draw Ollie and maybe The Leagues attention. Merlyn then returns to Corto Maltese and Thea is kicking ass.

They totally knew.

As to who killed Sara, It's looking like Merlyn now. Thea would have made for some great drama, but Merlyn seems likely as I assume he was returning from Star City at the end of Thea's training scene. I wonder is Komodo working with him?

Surely the writers knew….

Good second episode. It's nice to see a lighter and brighter approach to a superhero franchise. I would have preferred Barry trying to save Multiplex though but it's an easy fix to have him cheat death by having another clone survive and become Multiplex-Prime. I hope they begin to explore his powers now and what form

Sara dying, but honestly I thought her time would have been up last season. It was a character death that was expected.

Yup I agree, Merlyn versus Ra's with Arrow caught in the middle for at least the first half of the season. I assume we'll get more Suicide Squad and Waller too.

It's Merlyns play against the league. I would also imagine the murder was a test of Thea's loyalty to the family assassin business. Sara recognized her killer and I can only assume it was Thea she saw. The voice she heard is a ringer because it was a voice masker but it could also be Merlyn that spoke and Thea

The more I think the more I'm certain it will be Malcolm and Thea that are reveled as Sara's killers. Ra's is the League's leader, this is obviously a play against them and as I said Oliver by default. Merlyn will by series end be the main villain with his corruption of Thea one of the seasons main plot points. Ra's

Speculation:

This looks great. I'm delighted DC have decided that something different is in order for a member of the Batbooks. It can't all be grim.

Down-voted for lack of sense. Ennis is one of best writers in comics, granted his humor can be too dark for most but when he's on, he is on. Check the vast majority of his Punisher Max work, granted his Welcome Back Frank work with Dillon is quite cartoonish in it's characters and violence(I'd put that down to the

I totally agree. I haven't looked at Scorpion and I doubt I will in the future. I will say that the Agents season 2 seems to have at least learned a few lessons from last year, namely giving them a reason to do stuff. I hope they can make the Fitz-Simmons stuff work. I would give worst premiere title to Gotham.

So steal the relic and then a Quin-Jet? That was it?? That is not a complicated plan to keep most of the team in the dark about. Stupid writing. It would have been easier to tell everyone that we infiltrate, find relic and exfiltrate with a shiny invisible Quin-Jet. But no we need to inject drama in a situation that

The pilot needed a way more grounded focus on Gordon and Bullock, they have to carry the weight of the series, show how the city, its police and elected officials are rotten. Give the viewer a better reason to root for either Detective. Frankly, I would have also used the Wayne murder as the climax of the pilot.
