Don't feel guilty, just do it. On the other hand, Agents of SHIELD is really bad and Almost Human is really, really good so maybe watch the bad show first and then cleanse your mental palate with something amazing to enjoy.

I did not know this gif of Lopti existed. Thank you.

It aired December 12th and was part of the regular season order. They definitely timed it well enough as the mid-season finale. No, you're right in that it was mostly Dark Archer stuff for the A story and family time for the B story.

Yes, you do remember. "Year's End" was the 9th episode of last season where Oliver discovers that Moira and Thea stopped celebrating Christmas after the Queen's Gambit was lost. It's also the episode where The Dark Archer puts Oliver in the hospital.

Most likely, yes. Arrow did the same thing last season after episode 9, "Year's End," which ended with Oliver in the hospital after getting his ass kicked by Merlyn. The show took a 1 month break and resumed in January so I think it's safe to assume that will be the case here as well.

Yep, for a moment there I thought we were back in the Dollhouse. Nice little shout out to that series.

How about the scene itself?

It's from "This is the End" with James Franco, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride and a ton of other celebrities.

Looks like Ollie may be donning the domino mask soon. Stephen Amell has been photographed wearing one already.

Nope, Central City's already been established in the Arrow-continuity. Dinah Lance mentions it during her appearance last season.

Probably because the show's writers actually wrote scenes where she had to emote last night. And speak some Russian. So that helped. I think she was just written poorly in the first few episodes and that made her come off as wooden. Amell was similarly criticized last season (unfairly, I think) for the same…

Yep, Slade was back, finally! And Shado too! :-)

True though I do wonder how they'll write themselves out of the corner they painted themselves into with ME3's four endings. Only one of them can be canon.

Here's hoping the raccoon shows up in the The Winter Soldier end credits teaser. :-)

Wow, I'd almost forgotten about this.

Aka Bruce Lee's favorite beverage.

Ditto. When that happened I got pissed off and went back a few missions before Virmire to level up and in addition I went to get the Krogan family armor so that I would have a guaranteed choice in the outcome of this confrontation. It cost me several hours but I saved Wrex and that's what mattered.

While I'm a little puzzled too by him doing a Fox-owned Marvel franchise I *am* curious to see what he does for the Spider-Man soundtrack. I love Zimmer's work (Man of Steel/Nolan trilogy, etc).

Season one's on Netflix and the hinting for Ra's al Ghul was dropped as far back as the second half of last season.

Yes. That character on the boat will be seen again and we are getting an explanation on Ollie's Bratva membership this season.
