I know, right? She shot him 20 times in the back! If she's such a good shot, why didn't she just shoot once, and then shoot him the next 19 times in the legs or something? That seemed like a plot contrivance to me.

Are there really people rooting for Laurel to be Black Canary? Honest question. I feel like Sara is a much better written character at that point, and I don't want to see Oliver training Laurel like he's doing Roy. If she disappears for a while, great, but I wouldn't want her to come back. I kinda like the mysteries

Is it weird that I'm already craving that scene?

Did she really "steal" him, though? It's kind of a dick move to go on a boat trip with your sister's boyfriend after they've been dating for so long they talked about moving in together (Laurel mentioned they'd been together for 2 years last season in a flashback?). I mean, Sara had a crush, and Laurel's move was

It was sort of broached that Sin is into girls, though, right? I mean, I've been wondering about her being a lesbian from the get go, and I read that the actress used to play a lesbian in a previous show, but… Thea basically mentioned it in passing and I guess that was supposed to be a cue? The CW is kind of terrible

I was thinking the exact same thing about Diggle. Why didn't Oliver bring him along to fight off Blood? Or, you know, find Blood in the beginning? Can't he just be wearing a hoodie or something to hide who he is?

Somebody might have said it before, but I think the point of the turbulences was a call back to the season finale last year, where they held hands and almost kissed, but she was leaving with her priest-turned-dj-turned-?-fiancee. I think that is what triggered Danny's kiss. He almost missed out last time, and now he

Do we know where he went? I kind of erased all memory from the part from last summer and I don't feel like watching anything but Motel California. Also, can someone remind me what the deal was with the lightning bugs? I can't remember. It looked cool though.

Yes, she's cute and quirky and sounds/looks like an actual teenager. I hope her dad is lame on purpose with her, but I feel very sorry for her anyways. School should be her territory (I mean, it'd be fitting that they use that word) and he should just ignore her in the hallways. That'd be the best favor he could ever

I sort of agree. I'd like to think that Jeff Davis (since he wrote that episode) is trying to tell a story more profound. I mean, clearly there is a point in having his three heroes haunted, looking for anchors in order not to lose themselves. That is a nice metaphor for teenage years. I like what he's trying to do,

Very weird to see the nice snarky grandma from Switched at Birth play the evil torturer in Teen Wolf. Very weird. Speaking about, are MTV and ABC Family having a stupid hashtag contest? What the hell was that "#Whatswiththescarf" and "#Youretheone" BS? Urgh.

I just want to say that this episode is exactly the reason why I am addicted to tv shows. Every moment felt earned and that dance moment between Jenna and Matty made my heart beat so hard and brought tears to my eyes. That explanation, that SO realistic and normal explanation for messing your life was so simple and

WHAT?…

WHAT?

Damn. Thank you, producers, for not going down that road. For so many reasons.

<joke>WAY TO SPOIL THE REST OF THE SEASON.</joke>

I hope you are right. I am worried about the target of the CW being teenage girls who usually love shipping characters and Felicity being such an amazing character, I don't trust that the network won't push this even if it's not in the best interest of the show (as it is now). But you and Patinkin make sense.

It's also probably because it's the 2010s and not the 80s anymore. We've had thirty years of TV using the same tropes and viewers that can literally expect every twist and turn. Anything that comes out of our expectations/from a character's perspective is felt as good. Maybe also because it feels fresh and the

The Vampire Diaries style.

Then all bets are off.

That episode reassured me. I kind of loathe the media because they used a few sentences from Stephen Amell out of context after episodes 206 and 207 saying that Oliver wouldn't like that Barry took interest in his EA to make shippers believe that there'd be a move toward the Oliver/Felicity relationship. But he meant
